I think the crowd gets into it and the team feeds off the energy and we just harass their offense!
I think our Secondary can handle Hill and Waddle enough but if they run the ball well on us it will open it up for Tua
and take pressure off of him if he is the starter tomorrow night. That was a bad concussion he got though, and if it was
my QB he wouldn't be playing so soon. Oh well, we play who we play.
Need Tupou to step up and play decent for us with DJ out, this is key for us to get a win. Didn't like what I saw of
Tupou against the Jets, once DJ went down, they could run on us.
Make Tua nervous and always feel like he's hearing footsteps!
I think we could have two or three interceptions!

The only Cincy Channel I get is Channel 19. I refuse to pay for Thursday Night Football on this New Amazon Prime thing. So I won't go on this sites game play by play comments. I'll turn on NFL Network in a way to miss any score and just watch the game as if live. Hopefully at 3 or 4 in the morning I will see Our Bengals WIN.Can't find anywhere to stream it online for free?!
For all The Hype about Buffalo and Miami, I think THE AFC CHAMPION BENGALS have a good shot at winning tonight. The Super Bowl Defense is good and THE JUNGLE provides THE 12th MAN on Defense Crowd Noise. I think JOE BURROW will lead Bengals to enough points to WIN THE GAME. Oh Yes, I would not trade Burrow for either Buffalo or Miami's quarterback.
GO BENGALS.....For Me from Midnight to maybe 4 in the Morning on NFL Network Replay because Dayton Ohio area in not considered LOCAL ENOUGH for WHIO CBS to show it at game time as Cincinnati CBS Channel 9.....That's OK, I'm up most nights. As long as NFL Network doesn't scroll the final score across the bottom of the screen during ticker tape news updates, watching the late ight replay should work.
I have Prime but we're going down Dickmann's to get some wings and watch it!
I'm already getting ready for the yelling when Prime pauses or goes black.
No sports bars in Dayton will have the game on?

They like to pass so that helps with our first game without Reader. Stop the run enough is all we need from the guys
you mention. Carter did have a nice TFL on the sideline against the Jets but he is clearly a 3-tech, not a NT like DJ.
The thing is Tupou, Tufele and Shelvin all have the size to be NT's, we will see if one of them steps up.
Haven't really heard which one we are relying on after Tupou. I have no faith in Shelvin anymore. He has been a
major disappointment so far since we drafted him.
Hopefully Tupou, Tufele or Shelvin can step-up because I think our secondary eats them alive if we can eliminate their run game and make them one-dimensional, especially if Tua isn't 100%.
Kick the ball off to open the game, get a 3-and-out, get the crowd pumped, drive down, score, and then just continue to bury them!
Facts don't care about your feelings. BIG THANKS to Holic for creating that gif!
