volcom69 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't worry about injury report till Friday because you just don't know anymore. A lot of guys take rest while others may get hurt but are fine on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregcook68 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Said it before, that I don't want Burfict coming back if he's not ready and ruin his career, but this concussion thing is definitely concerning since he injured it 2 and a half weeks ago and still isn't practicing!

COB Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 but the real weapon was a guy playing in Pittsburgh now, Legarette Blount. The Pats averaged almost rushing 215 yards in those three games and Blount's individual numbers were stupid: 439 yards combined. Bellicheck's reaction? I don't need this guy, I can do it myself with a plug and play guy off the street or depth from our roster. He's an evil genius slowing morphing into a guy who's just evil.

jjakq27 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Dave Lapham and Cris Collinsworth were on the radio earlier and predict that the Pats will pound the ball due the Bengals large per yard average allowed on defense. Play ball control. Hope to keep it close into the fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's what they tried with KC, which has just as dismal stats (rushing ypa us 5.1, KC 5.0). I expect it will work just as well. They don't have the Oline or backs to execute a sustained rushing attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm really hoping Marvin Jones and Burfict make it back for this game. I don't want to see anyone rushed, but they will certainly be needed.Burfict more than Jones, but still needed nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I don't care that the Patriots sucked Monday night, they are still a Tom Brady led team. While that might not hold as much weight as it once did, I still think it bears on the converstaion. If Jones doesn't play, i'm not as concerned, as I think this offense is still pretty potent and able to change things up with all the weapons they possess. Burfict however, is just a difference maker when he's on the field. He's an enforcer and motivator that is hard to replace.Can they win without him against the Pats in Foxboro ?? Sure they can, but I would simply feel more comfortable about it with Burfict in the lineup.With that being said, I don't want to see them rush him back either. I'd rather take our chances without him than to see them force it and it get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tight end Rob Gronkowski (knee) was listed as a full participant for the first time this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concerns will be back in regards to Dalton playing when the lights are brightest as well.I don't think that has much to do with the past, but rather gameplan and execution.Outside of that, i'm leaning more towards this game being controlled by the Bengals more than the score may indicate.Think of the week one win against the Ravens. The Bengals dominated that game and had they converted even a single TD instead of FG, it's a blowout.Bengals win 24-17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 It's the Pats in Foxboro. They are tough there and have been for quite some time. I would hate to think the team may overlook that fact based upon what they saw happen on Monday night IN Kansas City. The Foxboro crowd will make things as difficult as they can for the Bengals as well.Again, I still think the Bengals win this game, but I won't be one of the ones thinking the world is ending if they don't.17 points wouldn't really surprise me, but neither would seeing them score 10 or less.

IF, for some reason they DO execute and DON'T wilt, and still lose, it's not a big deal. Wilting would not be good because they take 2 steps back if that happens and it's more of the same.

Wraith Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 23-13 Bengals win with a Fake FG for a touchdown. (I dreamed of this last night so I wanted to write this down for posterity....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Bengals win the coin toss and defer.The Pats come out on offense with something completely unexpected that puts the Bengals on their heels. They march down the field decisively and score. Pats are up fast, 7-0.The question, then, is whether or not this Bengals team is really changed. If so, they bounce right back and win this thing 27-13.If not, then we could be in for a long night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Bengals win the coin toss and defer.On the first play from scrimmage, Geno Atkins crashes through the line, strips the football from Tom Brady and rams it down his throat. He then uses Brady's lifeless body as a club to beat all the other Patriots players senseless, then carries it into the end zone and spikes the corpse six feet down into the turf, head first.He is subsequently fined $12,367 for using the ball as a prop in a touchdown celebration.
