I trust Lou Anarumo to coach the next man up.

From the preseason onward tonight’s matchup has been labeled “The Game of the Year” by commentators. I hope Zac and Lou are reminding the players it’s a must-win situation. It’s time to bring it in prime time.

Pics I’ve seen on social media there seems to be an awful lot of blue in the stadium.

Pisses me off.

The bengals didn't have much leverage when they sucked, but they should find a way to lower season ticket seat priority for those who resell for big games/rival games.

visiting fans always get to the stadium early...home fans arrive later plus there is a wreck that shut down the northbound lanes of the Brent Spence so traffic is screwed up

I get up super early. Hoping we can blow them out early and get it over with.

Shit Hubbard not playing????

Is fredtoast posting here under a new name or did the covid boosters finally take him from us?

Tickets for American sports are stupidly priced, but Cincinnati has what a population of a million or so?

Away fans shouldn’t get a sniff especially now we are doing well.
I think fans in the city could step up a bit more.

In the UK we give an away club an allocation of tickets at Elland Road my teams stadium it’s 3000 out of a 40000 capacity.

Even if it’s 70/30 Bengals fans in there tonight that 30% will still generate a hell of a lot of noise and we lose a bit of our home field advantage.

I hope this game lives up to the hype. If not I hope we are the ones blowing them out. Even though I prob have the most respect for Buff than any other team not named the Bengals.

I posted 2 solid ones in the OP in case you have issues.

The nice thing about tonight is the worst thing that happens is a loss which has no effect on playoff standing - just means they need to beat the Rats next week to lock the division up. Of course, I much prefer a win and the AFCN locked so next week is just about whether they get home field throughout the playoffs.

Some great shots from the tunnel

So what happens in the event of a tie?

[Emphasis]

Bills have daunting stats of course: https://www.nfl.com/games/bills-at-bengals-2022-reg-17

Though if the Bengals can beat KC three times in one year, I still feel good about this game.

Pumped!!!
