In other news, I just locked my keys in my truck.

The only reasons I think the Bengals will lose are (1) the Broncos have a respectable run game, (2) they're at home and (3) Von Miller is sure to have fun with our line. We've also developed a habit of allowing easy completions over the middle, but Osweiler might be the only QB who can't take advantage.

This game could go either way, but I'm leaning Broncos...slightly. Don't get too excited if we win though.

, unfortunately.

This team hasn't won in Denver since 1975.  I was at a Denver pre-season game this year when they hosted GB, and it felt like a playoff game.  There were only 2,000 empty seats, and those no-shows were lustily booed by those in attendance.  Crazy place, I cant imagine what it's like a for a real game.

Donkeys 27
Bengals 13

Cleveland played pretty decently against the Lions last week, so that would mean it's 50/50 they win in Cincinnati. And then ... would it really help if they lost out and got the draft pick? Probably not. It's another year of the Steelers or Patriots playing for the AFC in another staged Super Bowl.

(11-16-2017, 07:44 AM)kevin Wrote: Bengal Fans never get it.  Over the years I've seen posts on here that we should win at Denver so easy.  Most NFL Fans know that Denver is a hard place to play.  They have a true home field advantage.  We can start with Mile High and how high up it is and the difference in air.  Visiting teams go there and they become short of breath and fatigued.  Many players have said it really takes it toll in the second half.  ....Then there are the Denver Fans.  Always very loud, twice the noise of an at Cincinnati Game.  Many at Denver games I have seen the camera shaking and the TV picture shaking in the 4th quarter and this is due to the stadium is actually shaking from Denver Fans stomping and yelling. THAT makes it also very hard for visiting teams.....So even when Denver has a bad team, which isn't often, they are still in a hard place for visiting teams to play.

We have Denver who's offense has also been struggling.  Maybe more due to the QB than the O Line problems Bengals have.  The Broncos defense which should have been the best in NFL is not up to expectations, maybe due to lack of offense.  We see this with a very good Bengals defense forced to be on the field more due to no offense.  I would say the Bengals awful offensive line is just what the doctor ordered for the Broncos defense.  Look for O.G.BooHe to get destroyed again as Denver blows up our O Line all game.  This means no offense for Dalton, Green, Mixon and others due to no blocking.  Denver is just the defense to destroy our O Line.  On the other side our defense will get fatigued being on the field so much in Mile High.  Denver has running and receivers and blocking enough to beat us.  

So don't expect a miracle upset win in Denver.  At least go into this game as Fans knowing that Denver is one of the hardest stadiums in the NFL to play every year,  and that although Denver is struggling they are still a better team than Bengals are.  I see no reason for Fans to think we are catching Broncos at right time. I see us as going to Denver where Bengals always lose, but with even less chance of winning with no blocking.  Denvers Defense destroys Bengals offensive line all game long.  At least go into this knowing Bengals never win at Denver.  The 2017 Bengals chances are very slim. Add In John Elway and football people in their owners box and Mike Brown and his family of lawyers in ours, and throw in their coach probably out coaching Marvin. I hear not one coach is signed for 2018, which means there is no commitment to anything the Bengals are doing.  .....Lets go into this game knowing Bengals are the huge underdogs and that even good Bengals teams over the 50 years have lost at Denver.
