I want to see a strong running game from Mixon as facilitated by superior OL run-blocking and our run game coordinator's best effort.

15 straight primetime road losses for the Bengals.

And weird things happen too including the last one we played 2 weeks ago

Weird things like, backup QB knocks off division leading team happily holding a playoff spot?!?

Well time to embrace anxiety free football. I’ve had a lot of experience. No expectations. Nothing on the line.

[*michaelsean*]

Any chance Jax has a history of getting backup QBs a new contract?

You must be dreaming. Have you watched all the games this season. They are now last in rushing in the NFL.  If you can’t pass, what makes you think they could run now, in the 12 game of the season.

This game is about finding out if we have a backup QB for next year.

According to Jags fans, they are just going to win by a few more than if Burrow were going to play. Also Trev is yet another generational talent. (How many of those can there be before it’s no longer a thing?)

bruh.

What’s the line on over under in points scored for the Bengals? My guess is 10 points.

I don't know if the Bengals GMs are thinking about it like that. If Browning is under contract next year, I have to think he will be the backup even if he is terrible. Or at the least they will bring in some unknown to compete with him.

[Millhouse]

Well if the Bengals are going to lose, I just hope it's over before sooner than later. I need a good night sleep.

[Joelist]

So how many wide open receivers will Browning just not see this week?

[HarleyDog]

Saddle up boys. Times for a primetime ass whipping. This will be a great fantasy night for Jacksonville players.

You are correct.

Ditto.  But it doesn't matter, I'm still going to watch the whole thing.  This leads me to believe we will lose inside of two minutes to go because of a horribly blown call by the officials, leading me to angrily toss and turn in bed for two or more hours after the game as I replay the whole thing in my head...

[Joelist]

At least we shouldn't have the frustration of last week where if Browning had actually scanned the field and pulled the trigger we should have won. Jax can actually score points.
