About to set off downtown for a few hours on the beer before kick off.

Fly home Tuesday and my wife already warning me not to be hungover tomorrow.

She can take it up with Zac I’m only following orders.

Hoping our Boy Jake the snake will have added incentive as Vikes cut his ass earlier in his career.

That’s great

Watching the pregame on NFLN, and some of the clips they showed of Danielle Hunter sliding inside concern me, as I don't know that Volson can handle him in that situation. Hoping I'm wrong. But avoid obvious pass situations like 3rd and long and it won't matter!

[Bengal Billy]

Keep it rolling Bengals. Let's go!!

WHO DEY

[*michaelsean*]

I think roughly 60% of the passing yards came on three RB screens last week. Not being some kind of offensive guru, is there a way you can catch them cheating to stop those, opening up a big play somewhere else?

Absolutely. Big time pass TD versus a pump fake to Chase I believe against SF or the Bills to a TE.

Yes, and I would add continuing to mix in run plays and under center work.  It helps!

It amazes me how Dobbs when from Savior to Inactive, just like that!

I understand that he isn't a dominate force, but why trade for the guy to not even dress him?

Well I guess if your star receiver says he will never catch another pass from you, you are SOL.

Holy crap, Jefferson said that?!?

What do you all think is more likely:

A.) offense scores over 31
B.) defense gives up less than 10

[jfkbengals]

"There's no frowning with Jake Browning"

I like that one...

Vikings have a Top 10 defense.  We score 31 that will be a solid achievement.
