    It can't get here fast enough for Me. I'm sure the injured on Our Team thinks differently, but I'm already tired of rehashing the last game.
    On 2 the bengals .

    Never have I felt less confident going into a Bengals game. Our team just has way too many injuries for me to believe this can be an easy victory.

    Oh I don't believe it's a easy victory by any means. I'm just ready 2 get on with a different game. Like I said before. I can't remember since Haden has been here , if when he's Been out if We have won a game, or not.

    If the defense is down TJ Haden Bush Sunday I’d give them almost no chance at winning this game based on how bad our offense is with or without Ben.

    Yeah I would have 2 agree...though it would not be ( me agreeing) because of the offense. I have seen bad offense win with Great Defenses many times, I have Yet 2 See Even Great Offenses win (Very Much) with bad Defense, and When TJ, Haden, and Bush are out ....We Become a bad Defense.

    You got me there. Bubby Brister against Boomer Esiason was no match.

    4-5 without him. All four wins came in 2017, the last time we had a real contending team.

    We take no comfort. ( I'm sure with all the groin injuries their is no comfort)
    We won't live in our fears. (Except to punt on 4th and 1 because putting out your shredded defense was the right call.)
    Not enough splash plays (coach them up to cannonball)

    The bungles will bring their all smelling blood in the water.

    If Ben can't go hopefully they run the wheels off of Najee.

    Exactly how I feel. Every day, there is news of another starting being injured.

    Cause they usually do.

    This is a hard game to predetermine. Cincy Oline is garbage. Burrow has been sacked 9 times in 2 games so far this season. He threw back to back to back interceptions against the Bears. If our defense wasn't so injured, it wouldn't even be a match up. Our team is now down to a bunch of 2nd and 3rd stringers and therefore they have a chance to win this game and perhaps even easily. Both teams desperately need a victory here. Bengals lose and their coach immediately goes on the hot seat. Our coach could lose every game from here on out and still will have a job in 2022 as HC of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    It isn't even the injuries for me. It is the fact that our offense is completely punchless. Every single game is going to at best be a slog with this offense.

    Even with a fully healthy D in week 1 it took a ST'S play to insure the win ..The D we used had a lot of new wrinkles and it confused the Bills staff and their QB after putting it on tape Teams can now see how to exploit it ...It really has the same weaknesses late over the middle and RB'S out of the backfield whether on swing passes or splitting them out wide ...

    This D has the same 2 major problems it has had for years..Only 1 CB who can really play on an Island and a Safety who is not good deep..This forces us to scheme to protect around our poor CB play and deep Safety play and if a Team cracks that code it's big trouble..

    The Bengals defense is only a hair above Detroit's...... This is the time to get our offense in gear, starting with the O-line and running game

    I hope you’re right. It seems like forever since our offense was even halfway rolling.

    You know We were winning before the blocked punt. So 2 suggest anything else is just ....make believe. I know You could say well this would happen ,and that would happen, but all that is ...is guessing.

    This is why I say that no matter what Ben is going to play this week. There is no way he can let Mason go against the Cinci-Defense at home.

    Maybe next week Ben can re-injure his Pec and then let Mason go against Green Bay's defense in Green Bay.

    I said the same thing before the Steelers played the Bengals on MNF last season, we all know how that turned out.

    I'm certain some of them will play and a handful of them will not. If I see TJ on the field I will be concerned and very worried the entire time he is out there. Groin injuries need time to heal. I hope he doesn't push it and come back too soon. I'd rather see him in street clothes for this game.
