What a huge football game.

Both of these teams need a win.

Bengals win fairly convincingly, though.

edit: BAH.... syllables, not words....

damn school was a long time ago

... try again

What a huge ball game.

I pick the Bengals.

Cats 30, Rats 24

Defense is going to have to step up big. Hundley looked great the other day. He's new, he's fresh.

We're going to have to create some turnovers.

Hopefully our team wins!

Hundley is not better then Jackson, otherwise he'd be starting over him. If we play disciplined like we did the last time we played these guys we'll win. Make them one dimensional and make them beat us thru the air. I think we've got a really good shot in the game and are the better team. Which O-line is going to show up, the one that blocks or the one that gets destroyed?

Bengals 31
Ratbirds 17

Fat Randy comes back to haunt us.....

Fat Randy comes back to haunt us.....

It matters not if we take care of business on Sunday. Like I said before, if we cant get up for this game we dont deserve it anyway. The Ravens are BEAT UP. We have 95% of our roster available. We are at home in front of a sellout crowd. We beat them earlier this year. Hopefully Zac doesnt outcoach himself. Hopefully the WRs don't show up with the dropsies.

Looking ahead, it now appears the Chiefs will clinch and probably be resting starters. And for wk 17, if the Browns lose to the packers this Sunday they are done anyway. They will have a bunch of second and third stringers looking for playing time. So thats a winnable game if we need it.

The path is before us. I just dont know if Zac will lead this team down it. I'm a pessimist this week because of Tyler Huntley trying to win a starting gig and oust Lamar Jackson. The kid will ball out against our so-so secondary.

The boo-birds will be singing by halftime.

Rats - 27
Cats - 23

Zac said Isaiah Prince will start at RT on Sunday.

They’re still holding out hope Awuzie can test negative tomorrow or Sunday. Says he’ll be ready to go if he does.

Kareem still going through concussion protocol.

They’re expecting game to be played Sun at 1 as scheduled.

Well expect a very healthy dose of Mixon and Perine then. They know Prince cant pass block well. And where the hell is Chris Evans?? Have we even explored opening up our receiving options out of the backfield? Lets help Prince with a chip block and slide Evans out into a route like Gio. Give Burrow 5 options on every play. Lets open this offense up dammit!!

Last I heard he had a ankle injury. I don't know where he stands now.

Khalid Kareem back on practice field in first sighting since getting a game ball Sunday.
