So, will they show up and play motivated tomorrow night?

[Joelist]

We're full circle now - another night game, another prime time game and a HUGE game. And their last prime time outing was flat and uninspired.

Last year they came off a poor prime time showing to beat Denver on Monday Night Football. Will we see a similar bounce back this time?

I'm thinking yes. Now Monday I wasn't but given some time to cool off I am hopeful they won't lay two eggs in a row.

[StLucieBengal]

I agree joe. This team just doesn't lose two games in a row.

CP will be the one who makes the turnover.

[Shake n Blake]

The million dollar question. Usually I have a strong feeling one way or the other, but this time I just don't know. With AJ and Dalton going against a top CB and defense, it wouldn't surprise me if they laid duds again. That said, our D is strong against the pass and in the red zone. They could keep us in the game. Eifert could be a factor if he remembers how to catch a football. It'd be nice for last year's Jeremy Hill come back kick this imposter to the curb.

I'd feel a lot better if Adam Jones was playing but yeah I think they will get the job done.

[StoneTheCrow]

It's a coin flip with these guys, innit? Jones will be out so we know the return game will be shit. I'm hoping for a Palmer special.

Earlier in the week there was almost no way I thought they would come out and win tonight. BUT, today I am actually starting to feel that they might shake off whatever the heck was wrong on Monday night and get back to their winning ways. I guess we will see in about eight hours!

12!

12 long hours!

21-19. They look like crap for 3 quarters and get two tds in the 4th to win. Defense holds them to field goal tries in the red zone=difference in the game.

I feel they will play well, but Arizona is a very good team and favored.

We could play very well and still lose the game so not sure what your criteria is for bouncing back.

I feel they will play hard, have some good plays and have some bad plays which most NFL teams have each week, even the great teams have bad plays.

[reuben.ahmed]

I don't have a great feeling about this game or the team after that Houston loss. Props to the Defense, though. I would say this is the biggest test of the season not only because we came off a very bad offensive performance, but because of the team we're facing. I hope Andy kills them, but gonna be hard without Pacman. Field position is big, let alone his defense, Tate can't get us anywhere. 

[fredtoast]

Arizona is as good as any team in the league.

Unless we get blown out it will be no reason for panic if we lose a road game to them.

[car91]

Bengals win by 14. Statement game tonight.

Actually if they do play very well but get edged out that is a bounce back. I would even not had an issue with the loss to the Texans had they played well. 

[Butchie Tiger]

I want to see a huge bounce back game, a team with this many weapons should never be held to 6 points.

Me too. I think Dennard and Kirkpatrick will be targeted all night. Sadly I have very little confidence in either one of them.

[Whacked]

Agreed

This could be a slaughtering.

It's the only team I think that can trade punches with us when we are at our best; and we are certainly NOT there these days.
