Wild Card Weekend: Raiders @ Bengals

[Wraith]

LV has a more explosive offense.  I have confidence that our o can score on anyone, so I would prefer New England.

[Stripes]

I think I'd prefer Vegas, if nothing else because they're working with an interim head coach.

[membengal]

Barmore potentially being out is a big hit to NE defense.

[Stripes]

A downside of a game against LV is that it'd guarantee they're coming off of a must-win "playoff" game, and that energy can be difficult to dispel.

[cincyhokie]

Any thoughts on the day/time slot? I'm hoping to avoid the Sunday and Monday night games.

If the Raiders come here I can see getting a day game. If the Patriots come here then it is possible we get that Sunday or Monday night slot.

 

[ArmyBengal]

If I’m picking, I’ll take the Raiders, but I don’t really care.
Not scared of either the Pats or Raiders.

That video clip where the Pats radio ass hats we’re making fun of Taylor would make for some solid bulletin board material.

[ArmyBengal]

Also, I thought I saw where there is only 1 game that starts at 1pm. I could be wrong but thought most were late afternoon games.

Anything but MNF please. I am attending the game by whatever means necessary, but it'd be nice if it didn't completely dictate my entire schedule for the work week.

[HoosierCat]

Usually they announce the game days/times during tonight’s game, figure halftime.

[COB]

Agree with Volcom, Belichik has seen it all, and is an expert at game planning against an opponent’s weaknesses, whatever they may be. Hoping for the Raiders, they’d have to come all the way across the country into our place, with a 3 hour time difference.

[Stripes]

I would expect Belichick to completely erase Ja'Marr Chase.

[ArmyBengal]

ESPN has it up.

Yep, only one 1pm game.

[ArmyBengal]

If we face the Raiders we probably won’t have the 1pm game.
I would guess.

Or, they expended everything to win and have nothing left in emotional tank…

[membengal]

I’m rooting against Herbert. So tired of the national types who went so hard for “he’s better than burrow”. Fuck that narrative. Go raiders. 

[Stripes]

Carr looks so wild in the pocket, like everything is a panic.

[Stripes]

Herbert's facial expressions remind me of Andy Dalton.

Let's trash Herbert.

[Stripes]

Carr missed a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open touchdown downfield. Yikes.

[Stripes]

They complete the pass anyway by way of muffed punt.

[ArmyBengal]

Hell yeah !!

[Stripes]

Raiders 10-0

[Stripes]

Raiders tackling seems very sound, but the pass rush is doing nothing.

[membengal]

If we end up playing the raiders again, need to be ready for their “chuck it deep and look for a flag offense”

[Stripes]

TD Raiders after a super lucky DPI in the endzone.

I really want Vegas.

[HoosierCat]

That was the most bogus dpi call I’ve ever seen
