I mostly like Collinsworth but he'll somehow find a way to praise the Steelers during a Bengals/Ravens game.

Even if Lamar suits up, which I doubt, he's missed something like 17 practices in a row. I can't imagine he will be sharp, and he's not going to be as mobile on that knee.

yes but i see him moving the ball better than their other QBs.. and I think Ravens will continue to play well on defense creating at times short fields so with Lamar they are much more dangerous inside the 20s so figure they will score a TD or two with him instead of a FG....

He has been sneakingly working out/practicing for over a month now. His being out was just a trick by the Ravens.

LOL. Unfortunately, all QB's, and especially ones that struggle throwing the ball especially from the pocket, need all the reps and timing they can get weekly let alone after missing a close to a handful of games.
Bengals broke the mold on how to defend him a year ago in Balt. when they drilled them. Gotta contain him, let him get his few yards when he does break contain, get his yards up the middle if/when he can and knock the poo out of him once he becomes a runner.

Yeah, I like Tirico. Our former Bengal, not so much.

Yep. Pretty sad how he sucks up to the rest of the Division so.

Great points Nepa. Should be a blast.

This game does not have a good vibe to it, esp after Sunday's performance

I wasn't liking Sunday night then I found out I have Monday off so that will be nice. As far as Collinsworth I like him alot. You can't be a national broadcaster and show favoritism. I know he likes the Bengals and hopefully they can get a win so he can let a little bit of that Fandom sneak out in the end.

Im gonna have to get a hotel now and take a day off work which is sure to make my boss happy on such short notice. Lucky hes a bengals fan too so he may understand. Im not driving back to cleveburg at midnight unless I want to be wrapped around a highway light pole after falling asleep
Same here and I will probably end up with some early morning meeting scheduled for Monday.

I prefer the first Saturday game. Win and you get to watch the rest in comfort. Don’t really care if it’s considered a slap in the face or whatever.

I'm really good with Sunday night. I'm off on Mondays anyway, so I'll delay dinner and order a pizza.

I hope Zac and Callahan don't let me down, the offense must take the lead and stop relying as much on the defense to win them games. My fire Zac rant will be off the charts if our offense can score and we lose the game..

This^
These are typically dog fights where one good team is sent packing, unless you luck out and get a team who barely snuck in the last week of the season. Furthermore, teams play tight and big plays are at a minimum, so teams who can physically grind it out and force timely errors are usually the ones who advance.
I think this game will look similar to the TEN game last year, and I hope it has the same outcome.
