Marvin said that he expects them all back for Thursday

but I think his reasoning (trainers would have told me otherwise by now?) is suspect and his prediction excessively optimistic

I hope the let Whit heal up and play Collins, who I can't see us re-signing (he'll command big starter's money in FA, and ergo 3rd round compensatory pick for us) after this year

I can't see a player coming back from a concussion in 4 days. Just can't. So Boley will get tons of time.

We also lose MJ :| add to comp pick but still sucks to lose people.

Historically, we suck against Miami. The Bengals have managed just five wins in 20 games dating back to 1968. And two of those wins came in 1968 and 1969. Between 1971 and 2000, Cincinnati racked up an abysmal 1-12 record against the ‘fins.

We sucked in recent years vs bills ;) time to change history,I'm more worried about chargers game.

i am looking forward to this game, i hope it will be close game not like yesterday. my brother who is fan of dolphins will be here to watch the game with me, so close game is required to made it more fun for us, win by 40 pts wont be fun at all, if i have to chose, bengals beat dolphins by 40 pts or lost to dolphins by 1, i pick 2nd one.

by the way to made sure u all dont misunderstood me, i LOVE yesterday game as i have no family who support jets ;)

I think this game

star_wars_its_a_trap.jpg

I pray that I am wrong

Oh, I agree 100%. This has "trap game" written all over in giant Star-Wars-font letters that are playing John Williams' theme at 1,000,000 decibels.

The Bengals are coming off a blowout win. If they aren't thinking that they're hot sht today, they aren't human. It will be a huge challenge for Lewis & Co. to get these guys' heads out of the clouds.

Meanwhile, the 'fins are rapidly descending into irrelevance. After a 3-0 start, they have hit a four-game skid that culminated (so far) in Sunday's second-half meltdown. A loss Thursday puts them in the AFCE basement with the Bills, and while the overall weakness of the conference means they could bounce back, they're already 0-2 in their division and, with a loss to us, 2-4 in the AFC.

For Miami, this is a must-win. For Cincy, it's a nice-to-have. Everything points to a Bengals loss.

So why don't I feel like that's what will happen? ;)

Per @AdamSchefter LB Rey Maualuga has a sprained MCL and is expected to be sidelined 3-4 weeks.

Bummer.

Funny. Hobson mentioned on the .com that Rey had a concussion.

Boley looked decent. Hope he's in shape.

Maybe because you finally feel like you can trust this Bengals team. I'm starting to feel that way, it's hard though knowing how many times I felt like I could trust them, only to have them let us down. I feel a win for this team, keep on rolling

After Every Victory they should make the Team Rewatch the Browns game.

No doubt, kaz, no doubt. And yeah vol, I guess I am starting to believe...again.

Dolphins writers seem to think the WR they lost is kind of a big deal, so injuries hurting Miami too.

Only one I am concerned about is Whit. Losing Rey is not critical.

Collins has played very well when Whit has been out but Miami has serious pass rushers, Wake, Odrick, Vernon, Jordan. Need to keep Andy upright.

Defense can handle Dolphins. They are pretty miserable running the ball, and I'm inclined to believe the Bengals D can stop them.

I feel like Phins Defens isn't as impressive as anything already faced,Even though I haven't been Collins fan but I think he'll do fine if whit needs take his time.Personally I'm more worried about Mauluga because we wearn't very deep at LB.

Collins has matched Whit very nicely in pass protection. It's in the running game that we miss Whit

I found two articles that are very similar... methinks there is a plagiarist afoot

Good lord, week after week, all we see on here is not to sure about this game, Not counting on a win, it'll be a close game and we'll lose, etc. I'm hoping that that was the Bengals of the past. I'm hoping that we can get rid of the phrase, we have no idea what Bengal team will show up to play. I'm really hoping that last weeks 40 point win wasn't a fluke! That was the best Bengal game I've seen in years! Maybe we've finally turned that corner, gotten over that hump, turned things around. Time will only tell. Fins have lost four in a row, we've won four in a row, so this should be a good game. There is no reason what so ever why we should lose. We've got a ton of weapons on both sides of the ball and we've look pretty good lately. Let's recap:

The Bears got a lucky win, we beat ourselves!

We took it to the Steelers

We beat Aaron Rogers and the Packers (no one thought we'd do that)

We totally fell apart in Cleveland!

We beat the mighty Tom Brady and the Pats (No one seen that coming)

We got by the Bills

We got by the Lions and Megatron! They have tons of weapons on that off!

So, anything is possible this season. I'm hoping the Bengal team that put up 49 points shows up tomorrow night and the Bengal team that got embarrassed by the Browns is long gone and never show up again. Who Dey!
