SeattleSeahawks (2-2) vs. Cincinnati Bengals (4-0)
Sunday, October 11, 1:00 PM on FOX
Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio
First look: Bengals vs. Seahawks
The Bengals are off to one of the best starts in franchise history following a 36-21 home victory over Kansas City last week. This is only the fourth time the Bengals have started 4-0 and the first time since 2005. The Bengals once again featured a balanced offense (26 rushes, 24 passes) and the defense produced five sacks and forced a turnover.
Seattle evened their record with a 13-10 prime time victory over Detroit at home on Monday Night Football – even without Marshawn Lynch. Lynch should be back this week, and he’s needed – the Seahawks have struggled to protect Russell Wilson and get any semblance of a passing game going. That said, Lynch hasn’t been totally able to make up for a poor offensive line with just 128 yards in three games at 3.4 yards per carry – a career low to this point.

With Lynch out and Jackson questionable, the Hawk o-line struggling, and Wilson already being sacked 18 times...hopefully, the Bengals D will be able to control the line of scrimmage, get some solid pressure and force some mistakes.

That's arguable. If Brandon is faster right now, it is due to the age difference.
But that is beside the point. Pat is much better against the run, which helps force 3rd and longs that neither of those players would be in the game for. We would put out 3 ends with Geno in those situations, so Sims being inactive is not good for our defense, imo.
I wonder if he did something to piss Marvin off. Curfew violation maybe?

The chat was causing some server issues. Some tweaks were made, and we'll probably test it out again for the Bills game. With this being a game where a lot of activity is expected, the GD thread is the better option for today.

No worries man I was just making sure there wasn't something wrong on my end.

Not sure how technical you are, but I'll ask anyway: does the chatbox use websockets or is does it require polling?
