[Whacked]

Not sure why but it seemed like an extra bit of eternity for the season to begin this time around.

Bengals 27-24 in a nail biter.

WHO DEY!

This week in particular.  I've never known of a 4 day work week to last so freaking long...

I want Chase to absolutely tear the Vikings a new one today.

I just don’t want to see the fanboys gloating around when it happens.

[GreenCornBengal]

Anyone got a good stream site they like? I used to use crackstreamz but think they got shutdown near end of last season.

[masonbengals fan]

Ready to get this thing started.

Chidobe is ready

There is a future meme in this video for sure

Hopefully this is the year that he puts it all together.  I recall Gil Brandt stating prior to his draft that he felt Awuzie was the top corner in the draft.

I didn't expect Shelvin to be inactive against a Vikings team that will definitely give Cook a ton of touches.

[Whacked]

Ditto.

Maybe I need a more exciting life lol

Right now Josh Tupou is still the better bet.  In a month, maybe not

I wasn’t impressed with what I saw of him in the preseason. He’s big but he was getting pushed back whenever I watched him.

[*psychdoctor*]

Well, I guess I still have time to eat and get drunk. I am so psyched and anxious for Burrow, I don't think I can watch this game sober. I do think Bengals win a defensive battle and Chase will have 2 TD.

Crazy stat: In the last 5 meetings between these 2 teams, and 6 of the last 7, the winning team has won by 20 or more points.

I could see it 17-12 or something like that type of crushing defensive game on both sides.

Jessie Bates playing today??
Sorry I haven’t kept up w that crap.

[*bengalfan74*]

So anxious to get this thing going.
