Oh good the chunky lawyer pretending to be an athlete is back.

If you think the contract had 0% mental affect on him or the team, don't know what to tell you. Yes obviously the rain played a factor also. He needs the underdog mentality again to have to prove it, it may just have been 1 game to get over it, he did just sign the contract a couple days before the game started. He's still human lol. How would you react if you signed a 260 million dollar contract? Lol. Kinda hard to feel like an underdog being the highest paid player in the league. It had at least 1% affect lol and is hopefully gone by now.

I'm happy the game ain't here.  It's not only raining cats and dogs it's lion prides and wolf packs.. Good thing I have a woodshop in case I need an ark.. 

If Burrow is his usual self we are favored here.....if he does what he did last week we have no chance.

Harbaugh won’t let Zac get a word in edgewise.

In for the win. Also in Maryland, so I don't need to here Ravens fans squawking all week. Let's get this win.

Hendrickson and the pass rush need to be living in their backfield today. They have 2 pretty good starting O lineman out so no excuses for not harassing Lamar all day.

Orlando Brown and DJ Reader are game day captains

Last week they might have struggled to score against a top five college defense. It was bizarre.

The crowd is excited.

I predict a good scripted 1st drive and then a battle until the end.

Joe is a slow starter, he was rusty as well. It is what it is.

Knowing that getting to and winning the SB pays me even more, I'd be 100% focused.  But it was 100% evident that he was not 100% healthy.

Really like deferring here

Cincinnati electing to defer in a change to last years run

Chad, AJ and Chase would make for an entertaining group session.

Okay, D up first.

Something to the effect of "I'm tired and I'm going to bed.  Good luck."

No 1st down on the first play. We win this.

I've always preferred to defer.
