So we clearly are starting the game in 11 personnel.  I'll be curious as to who the slot receiver will be.  Most likely Boyd, but Ross in the slot would be a nice wrinkle.  Despite that, I would rather go run heavy today instead of pass heavy.  I wonder if Franks being inactive plays a role in that...

Last week Boyd played half his snaps on the outside, but didn't look the same as he does in the slot...I do agree they need to move people around though the offense is getting very predictable...

The Raiders D has given up 140 or more yards on the ground 9 times this year, including 200+ 3 times, and are allowing 4.8 per carry...so I hope we get a good, steady dose of the run game. Could big a big day for Mixon.

Paul Guenther will get a fresh new look at his future team today. When Marvin resigns I think Brown will hire Guenther to replace him.

Exactly why I would like to go run heavy.

Put Andre back at RT and let those guys be road graders, opening up PA to Ross deep.

Hate to admit it, when I was a young kid in the 70's, had two sets of PJ's. Bengals and Raiders. Lamonica, Stabler, Hubbard, Otto, etc. As a kid liked their logo.

Lol I was going to put the ninja face, but then I was like dang, that could actually happen so I left it out

[JumboTron]

I'm seeing shots of kids in the stands holding up signs that read: "This Is My First Bengals Game..."

If there was every a more clear-cut example of child abuse I'd be shocked.

Alright. I'm doing it. I'm going to watch the game or at least start watching it and see how I feel.

Reminder that Bengals CBs still have a collective 0 INTs this year.

I almost refuse to believe it is possible for 3 first round corners to go an entire season with 0 INTs. You almost have to try at that point.

Also Marvin keeps deferring every week with the worst defense in the NFL.
