I think I may have reached that point as well. I found myself subconsciously hoping that the Titans would score on their final drive last week. And not a single loss this season has stung as much as years past. 

We all see the writing on the wall: the more losses, the more likely it is that Marvin doesn't come back. And for the sake of our future, that needs to happen ASAP.

I'm saying Bengals by 6. Something about a blind squirrel.....

That makes Denver's default home advantage 4.5 points. If they're only 2.5 point favorites it's a dead heat.

Peko and Von Miller steam rolling into our backfield and of course because our O Line has been getting steam rolled all season.  Bengals O Line vs Broncos defense in Denver with their loud 12th man fans. Dalton will be running for his life.  This may be like Jacksonville where Marvin is happy just to punt the entire 4th quarter and call it a day early.

That's all true, but the same can be said that our D line should be all over their shitty Oline and in Osweilers lap all day. So things are about even. Hopefully the thin air puts the advantage to the Broncos and Merv is one loss closer to being gone....

You guys are a better team than Denver.

You guys beat us up in Lambeau. Mistakes cost you guys. Your a better team.

Yeah, but right now we don't want any excuse for MB to bring back Lewis for another year......

It's not all true... Fisher's not even playing. He may have a long day, but it won't be football related.

We could easily beat this team. Picked Denver to win but it should be close. Actually hope we don't win.

Hoping we lose out but the Broncos have looked like crap since they beat the Cowboys. Their QB play has been terrible
especially Osweiler who is not the same QB he was when he filled in for Peyton. They have a lot of great weapons in the
passing game but both Bolles their OT and CJ Anderson their RB have been banged up. Charles is not what he once was.

Sure, they have a great WR duo in Thomas and Sanders but we should slow down their Offense if we can stop the run.

Billings is starting to get his feet wet. We should see more of Lawson and Willis as the season goes on and less MJ.

We have been getting some big plays as of late on Offense too with Green, Lafell, Kroft and Mixon in the passing game.

If it were me i would line up Hewitt at H-back all game pound them and go Play Action, simple to beating this team.

But like i said picked us to lose and want us to lose so Marv and PA are gone.

My concern about Denver is Geno's status. Doesn't he have a health issue that makes it more difficult/dangerous for him to play there?

Yeah, sickle cell trait i think.

Definately limits his snaps in these games. Probably see more of Billings and Glasgow out there, maybe even Tapou.

Peko steamrolling Bodine? Yes, please. And should that result in Dalton being sacked, I sincerely hope Peko does a big ol' belly dance. That'd make all the highlights.

Well if he follows the history of other Bengals former linemen, he will roll Andy's knee.

Great, now you've just given the McCarron Mob something to hope for.

[*bengalfan74*]

Our chances of winning this game are somewhere close to a snowballs chance in HE double hockey sticks. Denver's defense is better than ours and I'd even give their O a slight advantage.

It won't be a high scoring game but we'll come out on bottom on the road. And I really hope we do !

I'm more likely to warn people to not think a win over the Broncos means anything has changed for the better for the Bengals.

These posts are about where I'm at. Not only are the Broncos on a 5 game losing streak, they've also lost each of those games by a comfortable margin. The only reasons I think the Bengals will lose are (1) the Broncos have a respectable run game, (2) they're at home and (3) Von Miller is sure to have fun with our line. We've also developed a habit of allowing easy completions over the middle, but Osweiler might be the only QB who can't take advantage.

This game could go either way, but I'm leaning Broncos...slightly. Don't get too excited if we win though.

But...but...if we win, then come home and beat Cleveland, then steal a win from the Steerlers, we're back in this thing at 6-6!



, unfortunately.

This team hasn't won in Denver since 1975.  I was at a Denver pre-season game this year when they hosted GB, and it felt like a playoff game.  There were only 2,000 empty seats, and those no-shows were lustily booed by those in attendance.  Crazy place, I cant imagine what it's like a for a real game.
