Last time we were in Cincy D-Wash got posterized:

Every time I see this I think it's ridiculous that he tried to spear him rather than just standing his ground and likely knocking the ball loose. SMH.

Story Lines:

Bengals offense will be looking to get healthy against a ragged ARZ defensive group. Can Vance Joseph figure out a way to stop the hard-running Joe Mixon? Has the Bengal TE wisely started contract re-negotiations?

Cardinals offense will try to put together four quarters for the first time this year. Both defenses are bad, so Murray and company may need to win a shoot out. To do so, they'll have to limit drive killing penalties which have plagued them in previous match ups.

One has to think this is the best shot we have all year, but with a rookie HC, I wonder if he's really ready for how hard it is for us to get up for these 10 AM games.

Boyd and Mixon are going to get theirs, and Eifert's been healthy for a bit.

The effort was pretty good against the Ravens in an early game. If we can have that kind of effort with much better red zone efficiency than we should be good.

Bengals might be without John Ross next week, too.

Don’t let Keim back in the locker room if we lose to them.
They probably won't...and I don't think it matters one way or another. He is gone sooner rather than later. Imo

It was Daryl Washington.

He is not very smart

Mixon and a healthy Tyler Efiert?

Gino Atkins may literally eat one of our interior offensive linemen.

Have we learned nothing from the Panthers game.

Winnable game, no doubt, but the Cardinals should be underdogs.

If we play like we did in the fourth quarter of the Lions game we can win this one. Cincy looked really bad on MNF.

Will the fan base turn on this team I’d they lose? I’d imagine the hot seat for Keim starts getting really hot if so

#Bengals WR John Ross is expected to miss multiple games with a shoulder injury suffered last night vs. the #Steelers, sources say. Could be in the range of a month or so.

All this means is more looks for Boyd and Eifert. I expect both to have big games. What worries me is the Bengals coming out with a chip on their shoulder after the embarrassing loss to the Steelers and will be looking for a strong performance especially in front of a home crowd.
