Bengals have an Actual Game This Week!

[*pally*]

Finally, the long wait is over.

With no injuries being given...what else are you looking for in Saturday's game?

I didn't realize the HOF game was already played. I think our 2nd preseason game is even televised if I remember correctly.

I thought there was a scrimmage last night? Was I confused?

HOF game was Thursday.  But the Bengals haven't done a formal scrimmage yet.  First preseason game is Saturday

That seems different.  I thought we usually did a virtual game or scrimmage the week before the first preseason games

Home game! I'll probably go with all eyes on the line!

I'm pumped football is back!

I was going to say it gives me a perfect chance to stop in Hard Rock's Sportsbook downtown before or after the game, but I should probably wait until the season gets closer so I have a better idea of everything.

I'll probably stop in and put a hundred on Burrow winning MVP, Chase winning OPOY, and us winning the ship.

Then I can add bets as things are playing out.

Looking forward to seeing the rookies & 2nd year players.

I have the same answer every year lol. I want to see the 2nd team Defensive Line because they are going to play close to starter snaps.

I believe that was a Marvin thing. That was usually a Saturday night thing. Zac does the practice with a preseason opponent

Joe is playing in the game

Head coach Zac Taylor on if QB Joe Burrow will play in the #Bengals first preseason game... ?

"I intend for Joe to play."

If we are playing the starters be interesting to see the starting CB2

If Chase plays (unlikely)

If Trey and Sam are out who lines up opposite Murphy, what the **** happened to Ossai?

How Mims looks in a proper game.

Who returns kick offs with the new rule.

Starting punter.

[bonesaw]

Excited to see how Mims, Yoshi, Charlie, and they rookie DT's look. Burton probably won't play, but I can dream

[Rubekahn29]

I just want to walk away feeling like we are prepared. Every preseason game under Zac I have felt we were always the worse team and ill-prepared. I know it’s preseason, but you can gather some feelings on how the team looks.

This is the week where the true contenders for the 2024 Golden Binns Award will step forward.

[*Go Cards*]

Always enjoy checking out the draft picks

I am excited to see Mims.  I will also be curious to see murphy and which punter looks best.

Don't want anything resembling the dumpster fire we saw last Burrow pre season series

Marvin has better Septembers than Zac.

P.S. I already know the comeback. Zac has better January's.

Was wondering how they were going to go about getting the starters some preseason snaps. It is a bit odd now with the 3 preseason
games and how teams go about it. When we had the 4 preseason games it was always the 3rd one where the starters got about the 
first half. Now I guess it will be the first one for us. Excited to watch Burrow and the starters get some snaps.

The players I will be watching the most will be Mims on the OL and our rookie DT's on Defense. Fun times.
