Saxon079 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 no one else sees this as a trap game at all?Seattle's a completely different team at home. A lot of teams go up to Seattle thinking they're playing a really crappy Seahawks team and find out they're playing a playoff caliber team at home. Just ask the Saint. I guarantee if Cincinnati goes up there without the attitude of a dog fight on their hands they're gonna walk away the losers. I'm having a hard time picking this game for that fact alone. They've only played two home games so far this season they won one of them at a lost to Atlanta by two points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense and defense will have to be ready to play mistake free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct_bengal Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 the bengals are headed up a day earlier than usual, marvin has been doing the 4 day off on a bye thing long before the new cba called for it. I think the bengals come out prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 If we're behind then I'm sure we have plausible options airwise with Green & Simpson & Shipley. Shipley's on IR Scottish....My apologies.- he wasn't listed on the injury list at Bengals.com..........calling mr Gresham, mr Cochart - are you ready to play ball??

Scottishbengal Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 no one else sees this as a trap game at all?I'd see a trap game as one where the Bengals were clear favourites to win. I think this will be a tough away game for Cincy and don't see them sitting as 7-10 point favourites before the off. It is winnable though, but not just beacuse they turn up - they'll have to work damn hard for a W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 We all know that Rey wont play, but sounds like Howard might not play either, and thats really not good for the defense. Wish they were going in full strength on defense i would feel much better about them. Skuta was on the injury report also, i wonder who will be the LBs on Sunday. Im not a fan of Skuta starting though!I am guessing you are going to see a steady dose of Brandon Johnson, Skuta, and maybe Mooch if Thomas Howard is out. I would bet you might see some Taylor Mays playing LB in the nickel and dime packages.Oh yea i forgot about Moch, i doubt he will start but i would love to see him in on pass rush plays, and watch his quickness around the edge. Im excited to see him, i wounder if they will activate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walzav29 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I agree TJ, this does look like a trap game BUT the biggest difference with these Bengals is their dedication to the details and doing things the right way, not their own way. Which results in more consistent play. The Bengals have more talent, better defense, and a better QB. They have to win these games, and I believe they will. It will be their 1st big win of the season. 28-10With a win this week, we can finally start some playoff talk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwillycuse Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Whitehurst likely to get the call again in SeattleLet's go get 'em! Wow, should be a great opportunity to improve on our defensive stats.I don't know the spread, but Bengals have to be favored. I cant see Seattle home field advantage being near enough. Ill never assume a win. Not yet. But we should win this game.Quite upset that the Browns also have a 4pm game this weekend, so I will be stuck streaming once again.

Tarvaris Jackson looks likely to return from pectoral injury for Seahawks/>http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/tarvaris-jackson-looks-likely-to-return-from-pectoral-injury-for-seahawks/2011/10/28/gIQAf7lAQM_story.htmlSeattle is trying to throw some smoke screen, Bengals aren't buying that Whitehurst stuff. We need to put some pads on Tarvaris as soon as he hits the field, Dunlap and Geathers are due for one or two sacks. I'm happy that Kelly Jennings and Pacman will be healthy this week, lets shut them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I don't know the spread, but Bengals have to be favored. I cant see Seattle home field advantage being near enough.Spread is 2.5 to 3, depending on where you look. Home field advantage is usually 3 points. Conventional wisdom is that Seattle's home edge is better than most thanks to their crowd and stadium. I'd say that means that vegas considers the Bengals just shy of a 1 TD favorite on neutral site, which would be about 9 pts at PBS. Seems about right. Maybe just a hair high.

volcom69 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Marvin said that Howard should be fine, so im hoping he is good to go this week.Whitehurst is different, he seems to play good at home, look at what he did last year!

Did you go to Youtube and type in a search for Star Trek music, or did you type in a search for hot prison chicks fighting?
