dj1cincy Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 I think this game comes down to confidence and momentum, and I'm not talking about momentum between games. The team that starts the game with the highest level of confidence, and throws the first couple effective punches, will then gain the momentum advantage. The 1st couple significant breaks usually determine the winner. I don't look for this game to be any different. Get up early, carry the momentum into the 2nd half, and ride the wave to victory. The best thing is that most current Bengals did not experience much of what the fans have for the last 15 years. God Bless Marvin! WHODEY! Quote
walshfan Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 This game comes down to how much protection Palmer gets...give him time and we just might win a high scoring game...no time and we lose big time!!! Quote
EyeoftheTiger Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 If the O line can protect Carson he will give the Bengals the scoresthey want. Quote
AMC Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 Sunday is REAL football....It's all about controlling the line of scrimmage....Who runs the ball best....BRING IT ON! Quote
Stripes Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 I think we prove this game that it wasn't those 4 turnovers that won the game for us last time. Feed the ball to Rudi early and often and watch Palmer pick them apart in the 3rd and early 4th quarters. Quote
bengalboomer7 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 I expect a huge dose of the No Huddle at the beginning of this game, just like Dec 4. Marvin would be smart to use the early emotion into hitting these guys in the mouth.We started quickly in both games versus the Steelers this year. Mistakes at the goaline occured in the first game, or we could have easily been up early in that one too.Come out firing early. If we can get 10-14 quick points ben will have to throw some, and that's exactly what we want Quote
walshfan Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 chris henry dropped two or three passes last game.. is he going to bring his a-game??? he's starting to scare me with all those drops... Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 chris henry dropped two or three passes last game.. is he going to bring his a-game??? he's starting to scare me with all those drops...Carson Palmer just isn't a playmaker by your logic regarding Tory James. After all, the guy who's supposed to catch the ball from him is dropping it.Did you ever think that Henry might be a little distracted by his court case? Quote

Stripes Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 Let's try to avoid turning this thread into a back and forth cyber-argument. I think we'll be able to tell very early on in this game how it will progress. Pay close attention to how well Rudi runs the ball in the 1st quarter. If he is getting 4 and 5 yards a pop, then I expect we'll be in good shape on offense for the rest of the game. If he is struggling or the line is holding its blocks for him, that could be a very bad sign. If he can't get it going early, then I think we'll see that problem spread to the passing game. Quote
