Same old story every week, well for opposing fans.

This game can go either way because both teams have the capability to beat the other.

This is the first year, though, that I'm not also worried about us beating ourselves.

I just saw that thread on the Bengals forum and about half of them are expecting to lose. I don't really see that we're being underestimated much. I know one thing for sure: they need this game way more than we do and they're playing at home.

All I really care about is that Yates keeps getting better and we win the division, which won't be difficult.

Also, If I'm not mistaken, it was pretty cold in Pittsburgh when we beat them with a garbage QB, and a garbage offense.


Lemme guess: This week is the "Texans Super Bowl"? "Houston we have a problem?"

Our guys get so cold they can't feel $^!+, so they just kick @$$.

Theres a lot more, pretty funny IMO. Did we used to be like that when we sucked ??? Problably

They've got a lot of reasons why they should win this game. A lot of good reasons.

But I'll never bet against this club again (not that I ever had).

On the DMan show yesterday, he alluded to a heart-to-heart that Aj had with the team before the Titans game. Andre wants a Super Bowl & these guys are determined to get it for him.

If you'll remember, we didn't just go & beat the Titans on the road. We stomped a mudhole in that team. That was after two losses, one here at home to a team they should have beat. That was the game that started this 6 game win streak we are on.

Andre went down again this past Sunday & you can tell the man was emotionally distraught. This season means an awful lot to the man & by proxy to the team.

I wouldn't want to be on the other side of the field from this team.

JJ Watt loves the cold weather. Wisconsin is colder.
Jonathan Joseph made a career in Cincy.
KWalter played in Cincy
Owen Daniels thinks Wisconsin urinates on Cincy cold.
Derrick Mason loves beating Cincy in Cincy
Kubiak likes the cold too!

The Bengals have a legit top 10 defense, which is going to be much tougher than the Falcon's D we played Sunday. They are 3rd in rush yards per attempt allowed, which may give Foster and Tate some trouble given that AJ is out. If our defense can step up, and cause some turnovers or possibly a TD we should have a shot of winning this game.

I don't think it's going to be much different than the Jacksonville game (on the road). That's a legit top 5 defense with the same secondary issues. I don't think Leon Hall is going to play & Andre wasn't much of a factor in that game.

Andy Dalton & AJ Green are going to be going against a legit top 2 defense, we'll see how they handle that a third time this year.

If we're as creative in getting the ball to Arian Foster like we were @Tennessee or @ TampaBay I think our offense will put enough pressure on the Bengals to let our defense get after the young rook.

None of this requires for TJ Yates to play any better than he did this past Sunday. Remember Schaub was 18 for 23 @ Tennessee & 11-15 @Tampa Bay playing on a bum foot.

It's going to be a game & I like our chances.

Do they KNOW about Dreeson?

Haven't looked into it recently, but the Texans at one point were 6-0 or 7-0 when the temperature was below 40°. And they are 2-0 when it's below 10°.

The cold weather factor for warm weather teams and vice-versa, is one of the dumbest arguments out there.
