(Preseason Week 3) ***Bengals @ Redskins - GameDay Thread***

[Bengalholic]

Cincinnati Bengals    vs.   Washington Redskins 

Sunday, August 27th 4:30 PM on FOX

FedExField, Landover, Maryland 

What will you be watching most closely for in tomorrow's game? 

Which  players do you think need to have a really good showing? 

[HarleyDog]

Will be watching coaching, playcalling and clock mgmt. Defense needs to show strength as a unit and also OL. Will be watching Ross and Mixon on closely as well. Also would like to see a great effort from everyone.

Skins 17 Bengals 10 in this preseason game. The starters will rest next week.

[SouthernStripes]

I'm hoping to see the defense perform better this week. It's going to be interesting to see how they cover TE Reed with Williams out. He torched us last year, should be a good test. Hopefully the pass rush will ease these things. And who's not excited to see AJ, Ross, Eifert and company on the field together? Mixon makes this even more potent. Hopefully, the OL gives them what they need to excel.

Looking forward to finally seeing Ross in live game action!

Hopefully it's because the coaches don't want to risk him getting hurt and he's NOT already hurt...

Hmm wonder what that's all about.

Chat box turned off or on for the game? It was up a few minutes ago.

Not during the game.

I put it up earlier for some pregame chat, but nobody was using it, so I took it down.

[Pat5775]

So finally, a nationally televised game... Over/under we see an anthem protest??

Awesome news then! I was slightly worried there for a sec

Not sure about the protesting...but apparently, Eifert is taking a knee until the regular season starts.

[Arturo Bandini]

We only can improve from last week.

[Pat5775]

Does anybody know why we wear the black socks with the all white combo during the preseason, but wear the orange socks during the regular season?

[masonbengals fan]

Here again this week

[JumboTron]

My first GameDay thread I will post in this year.

This feels good. This feels right.

WHO-DEY!!!

[OrangeLacroix]

Eifert is so brittle, the bengals can't even risk to play him in the preseason

It's not if, it's when.

He will miss over 8 games, that's a given

Rough day so far?
