cincyhokie Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 What's my prediction?Paaaain... Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Posted October 6, 2014 I haven't been impressed by Cam and Carolina's ground game is hurting. So there's that much. And based on my FF results Kelvin Benjamin is a complete waste of a roster spot. If Andy can avoid turning the ball over three times like Cutler did yesterday, the Bengals can win this (assuming the wideouts also hold onto the ball and Gresham isn't expected to contribute anything more than $20 to the teams' Hue Jackson Christmas present fund).

ArmyBengal Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 So, if the Bengals can manage to do everything they didn't do last night, they win.It's really that simple. Watch the tape from the Patriots game and tell everyone, "Don't do that !!!".Bengals- 37Panthers- 17 Quote
Stripes Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Grrrrrrr and stuff will probably be the prevailing wisdom this week, and I always find that meaningless -- even after what happened in Foxboro last night.Gameplan, practice, and execute or the Panthers will beat us. Emotions can't overcome ineptitude. That said I do think the Bengals are a better team than the Panthers, so the proper narrative is "take care of business". Quote

HoosierCat Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 Bad news, sky, it looks like the anti-snow, anti-football bubble is back this week.../>http://506sports.com/nfl.php?yr=2014&wk=6 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 I think it's funnny they say they are giving Boling a "vet day off" when the guy is in his 4th season.It's not like he's been playing 12 years and is in his 30's. He's coming off an injury from last season.Not a big deal, just something I see that amuses me. Whitworth has 5 years on him. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 I wonder if Kirkpatrick gets vet days off...? Looks like the final injury tally is in:Doubtful for Sunday: Thompson, Zeitler.Questionable: Green, Marvin Jones. As Dehner notes, and I agree, this a BS since they didn't practice a bit. Consider them out.Probable: Burfict, Iloka, Maualuga, Pollack, Rey Quote
cincyhokie Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 I wonder what the time frame is for Thompson to get back? Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 He did a little work on the sideline for the first time this week, so that's a hopeful sign, but it doesn't look like he's coming back any time soon Quote
cincyhokie Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 He did a little work on the sideline for the first time this week, so that's a hopeful sign, but it doesn't look like he's coming back any time soonThat's still good news.I realistically don't see this team being any less than 5-3 at the halfway point. Getting pretty much everyone who is currently out back for Cleveland and beyond. They're in a good position going forward. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 The one saving grace is that the Panthers are an injury train wreck too.Out:CB Bene Benwikere – AnkleCB Josh Norman – ConcussionRB DeAngelo Williams – AnkleDoubtful:NoneQuestionable:DE Charles Johnson – HipTE Greg Olsen – AnkleRB Jonathan StewartProbable:T Byron Bell – ToeDT Colin Cole – Non-InjuryLB Thomas Davis – ElbowDT Dwan Edwards – Non-InjuryS Roman Harper – Non-InjuryRB Darrin Reaves – Hip Quote
combatbengal Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 I'd love to see Green on the field but I also know we can win this game without him. Sanu has proven he can get the job done. Sanzenbacker can get the job done! Our two RB's can get the job done! So, we should win this game if our coaches come up with a good game plan. Def contains Cam and we win!!! Now that we took our two week Bye weeks, it's time to get back on track. That's right, I said it, we used last week as a bye week too. Because we totally forgot how to prepare and play football. First three games of the season we looked great. Last week, we forgot how to tackle, how to catch, how to hold on to the rock... No excuses this week because this team has proven that it can be done, so just go out and do it!! Win the game... Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 Who knows, with Burfict back, the defense could blow them up, or the offense struggles mightly with no Green downfield and the Panther's tough d-line, and it's close or they lose another one.If it were a top 3-5 team in the league, I'd say they'd lose - they need AJ/Marvin, Zeitler (a good Burfict) and Eifert back on offense if they want to compete with those types of teams, but maybe the butt-hurt defense and embarrassment of Sunday night fires them up enough to play a good game, but am not sure about that happening, after they got "hit in the mouth" finally, and have a lot of injuries to key players.

HoosierCat Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Posted October 11, 2014 Jones officially ruled out. Quote
Stripes Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 I've been feeling gradually worse about this game as the week has progressed. Hope I'm wrong but I anticipate a loss. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 If Newton is able to run, whether due to health or their game plan, that will cause problems for the Bengals I feel.If Newton is forced to sit in the pocket, that bodes well for the Bengals.I still expect a win at home against a Panthers team that is having difficulty running the ball. Quote
volcom69 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 I've been feeling gradually worse about this game as the week has progressed. Hope I'm wrong but I anticipate a loss.To me they need this game and have to win, not because the Panthers are a push over they are far from that, but for the bengals to get back on track. They need to prove that the defense is not that horrible, and the offense can move the ball without there too guy. The coaches need to get back on what they did before the Pats game.Is it a must win, no I guess not but if they look just as bad against the Panthers then I'm not sure what to make of this team. If they bounce back then maybe the Pats game was just a fluke. Guess will see what this team is made of. Quote
jjakq27 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 True. Next two after this one will tell us where we stand. Quote
cincyhokie Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 I predict pain. For the Panthers. No way the Bengals lose this game. Quote
101Airborne Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 Good afternoon from beautiful PBS folks! Here's hoping we play better than last time I was here. Quote
