Quote:Anyone feeling good about the Bengals game next week? They're at home on 10 days rest.

Quote:They lost to Cooper Rush and Joe Flacco. It’s a division game so it will be tight but no one should be shaking in their boots.

Quote:They’re wearing color rush. They are guaranteed to win

Quote:Cincinnati is gonna put up 55 on this defense.

Ravens will be getting pitty points from refball at the end of the first half

Quote:Watch us get little pressure on Joe "200 sack pace" Burrow. Nobody is covering that receiving corp for 4seconds or longer.

Quote:Cincys o line is bad again. If we can't get pressure this week we never will.

I'm not sure how good cincys coach is, I'd expect us to look good early and then not adjust like always. Perhaps we win by 20, or we lose after a second half let down again

Quote:Hopefully Joe Burrow has an off day. We simply don’t have the horses to guard all of their weapons. Boyd/Chase/Higgins against this secondary scares the shit out of me. But what might frighten me the most is Queen trying to guard Mixon.

We need to score at least 30 next week to have a chance.

Quote:Bengals haven't really gotten it going on offense yet this year. But if there's a team you want to play to give your offense a confidence boost, it's the Ravens.

Nope. We're in Baltimore.

Nope. It was Cooper Rush and Mitch Trubisky. We beat Joe Flacco.

As far as I can tell, both teams wore their color rush jerseys in week 4, so I doubt either team is going to wear their color rushes for week 5 as well.

Not a factually wrong statement but holy shit, they are so down on their defense haha. I thought their secondary was supposed to be the best in the nation...

He is currently on pace for 68 sacks, not 200 sacks...


Our Oline is not the "get right" Oline this year that many think it is. 3 true sacks in two games where there isn't a game wrecker at OLB.

And our defense has given up 1 TD in the last 11 quarters of football they've played (And 4 TDs total this season). I'm not sure why he expects them to look good early, but that has nothing to do with our defense or how it's coaches.

Okay, seriously. What's going on. They have Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters, Marcus Williams, Kyle Hamilton and Chuck Clark in the secondary. Are they dealing with injuries, is that group wildly underperforming or what? The pessimism in that thread is ridiculous for a team that is seconds away from being 4-0.

Talk of Ravens with injuries again this year, true but so are we with Reader out and Mixon with a hurt ankle, Sample out with surgery, (I know, not the fan favorite) and whoever else hurting. They will play with a chip after last year, in their backyard on national TV. I expect a rough game and if they can leave there with a win it would be huge.

I think Burrow goes off for 5 TDs and Mixon adds two!

You have the homers that take any post that is critical of their favorite player(s) or the team in general as an insult and get ready to get all up in arms.

You have the pessimist who are just always complaining about the coaching or the players or the owner or something.

The "Football guys" who hang around and act like they have "inside info" or know more then other posters and talk down to those who think differently then them. Usually claiming they connections to twitter experts and such. 

Then there is a good size clump in the middle that can see both the good and bad. The group that doesn't think every turn over is the end of the game or season and gets that there will be bumps in the road.
