The Bengals are off to one of the best starts in franchise history following a 36-21 home victory over Kansas City last week. This is only the fourth time the Bengals have started 4-0 and the first time since 2005. The Bengals once again featured a balanced offense (26 rushes, 24 passes) and the defense produced five sacks and forced a turnover.

I want the Jungle to do their part in intimidating Seattle. I would like the Bengals to make this a statement game.

Marshawn Lynch has just been officially ruled out for the game.

With Lynch out and Jackson questionable, the Hawk o-line struggling, and Wilson already being sacked 18 times...hopefully, the Bengals D will be able to control the line of scrimmage, get some solid pressure and force some mistakes.

Iloka. Any word?

Will the chat box be up today?

Apparently, Fred Jackson will be taking the field for the Hawks.

Pat is not a ususal suspect, nor is he listed on the injury report.

Thompson is faster than Sims and should be better at containing Wilson

That's arguable.  If Brandon is faster right now, it is due to the age difference.

But that is beside the point.  Pat is much better against the run, which helps force 3rd and longs that neither of those players would be in the game for.  We would put out 3 ends with Geno in those situations, so Sims being inactive is not good for our defense, imo.

I wonder if he did something to piss Marvin off.  Curfew violation maybe?

No chatbox again? Not complaining just curious.

We will be sticking with the gameday thread for this game.

Yep, I was wondering if they'd activate Hunt (if Wallace couldn't play), and was worried Wilson would make him look like a fool, whiffing on pressure.

Noticeably different vibe in here today. More people, louder during warm ups. Feels like a playoff game.

The chat was causing some server issues. Some tweaks were made, and we'll probably test it out again for the Bills game. With this being a game where a lot of activity is expected, the GD thread is the better option for today.

No worries man I was just making sure there wasn't something wrong on my end.

Going to be an awesome game. I've been looking forward to this one since the final seconds ticked in the KC game.

Not sure how technical you are, but I'll ask anyway: does the chatbox use websockets or is does it require polling?

Fun fact: The last time the Bengals started 5-0...the went to the Super Bowl.
