Going to go ahead and put the first game day thread up. A lot of excitement surrounding this year's team and I think everyone is anxious to see what they'll look like on Sunday. I'm as stoked as I've been in awhile for the start of a season.

Aw, Rich isn't with Harlan anymore?

At least we have Harlan; we've been privileged to get him to commentate so many games over the past 2 years, but almost all of them have been losses (none of them last year).

Seems they switched things up...Green now with Harlan, and Gannon's with Gumbel.

Welcome Fleet!

Sunday will be a good test for both teams. I expect an entertaining game for sure.

There will be a lot of eyes on this game for Burrow alone. The Bengals, depending on Burrows 1/2 season performance, will be the spotlight of many - especially the naysayers. Going to be an exciting year. I would wish you good luck, but until tomorrows game is over, your my enemy. 

Damnit, I need to be better than that. Good luck.

You must be Navy with a user name like “Fleet.”

The Chargers are 21-15-0 lifetime against Cincinnati but in the Marvin Lewis era the record favored the Bengals 5-4-0. Tomorrow’s game should be very tight from opening kickoff to the final second.

They would be stupid not to play 2 deep the entire game. I think Boyd and Tate are gonna feast in the middle of the field and Mixon is gonna be over 100 yards and above 4 yards per carry.

You really think Mixon can go over 100? Hmmm... I'm a little skeptical and was thinking more like 80. Not because he's not talented, but I still heavily question this line. Even if he runs to Williams side, they will start defending that.

I'm thinking that we're gonna burn SD deep early in the game and that is gonna give Mixon some room to work with in the box.

Fleet you had me until you said Aloha reminding us San Diego has other than Hawaii the nicest climate and surroundings in the country.

I agree on the injury front, I never want a see a guy get hurt.

GL other than today to your chargers.

I want to see clean football, take care of the ball, block and tackle well this season and today. I am excited to see Burrow play in a Bengal's uniform. My keys to the game are the OL, did we improve to move people in the run game and keep our QB upright. Then on defense, are we the 32nd ranked bunch they were at points in 2018 and 2019, or a defense that is revamped and vastly improved?

Fun day, I have been looking forward to it for months, got up and put on my white AJ Green jersey for first time. I had no reason to wear it in 2019 sadly.

Just 6 hours to go before the next Bengals era begins!

Who Dey! Bring us a win Burrow and squad.

Everybody is good to go from after yesterday's COVID tests

Ugh thought I’d be good in Columbus week one since we play the late game. Only get the browns early game. I hate this garbage. Now I get to try to find a stream on a crappy old laptop that I don’t care if it gets a virus.

It is crap on how limited the NFL makes viewing the games. If you don't have Sunday ticket, "screw you". Want to catch a free quality stream from Reddit, "screw you", we got that shut down, go buy Sunday Ticket. Want us to put more games on the networks and elsewhere on Sundays, "screw you, go buy the Ticket".

Whats really sad about this is that I can watch about as many different Premier League soccer games from the U.K. via how NBC carries them on tv over here, than I can for NFL. And even more on some weekends.
