Good morning! Did all of you non-Arizonians (Arizonites?) remember to set your clocks back? Happy 5:30 sunset!

Only 5 1/2 (formerly 4 1/2) hours to kickoff!

Currently in Paris to see Linkin Park so hoping the signal strength in the arena is strong enough to let me watch it.

Don’t care about this Burton stuff or who is out there we just have to find a way to win by any means necessary today.

Let’s hope Crosby doesn’t FEAST

No O. Brown and No Z. Moss to help

Time for some Ali Jr

Hopefully Tee, Brown Jr., and Moss are being saved to be healthy for Thursday night.

Who Dey.

Higgins and Burton both inactive

3 of our 6 WRs are out

Without a running game today, I see a loss for the Bengals. You need more than a top 5 QB to win the the NFL. Our defense can’t stop the other team, limiting our time of possession. Even if we win, we won’t finish above .500. This season is a bust, need to trade for better players or draft picks.

There is something seriously wrong, if Burton can’t make active squad with Tee out.

Minshew will pick this secondary apart with no pass rush.

Yup.  This should be his opportunity to prove himself for the future.  Instead, it is very much looking like we didn't do our homework and we took him way too early in the draft.

Just another wasted draft pick, boy can we pick um

Minshew is a turnover machine against even the weakest of defenses.  There is a reason he has a passer rating of 80, and it is not because of the talent around him.

Time will tell, have you seen our pass defense. 

Bengals have turned into a flag football team, where every play is a pass. It’s amazing the Joe Burrow is ranked so high among QB’s, when everyone knows he’s going to pass on almost every play. We need 2 exceptional receivers with Burrow, just to have a chance at a win.

Who-Dey

Looking for Gesicki today to be alive with receptions. Hopeful.

We see some TE sets with one to help with protection and the other in routes?

This game must be won on the ground. Against Carolina the Bengals ran more then they passed — that’s the only game where that happened — and got the easiest win of the year. With Tee Higgins and Jermaine Burton inactive the same must happen; runs must outnumber passes.

I'm not so sure what a win today does for our playoff hopes? But on the other hand a loss pretty much is stick a fork in em, they're done.

So hoping for a win

Have to have it.

I'll take a win, please.
