Looking At Cincinnati...

Just checking the lines for tonights game and saw next weeks early line is out. Carolina is only a 3 point dog next week? Can someone explain why? I know you get 3 points for being at home but the Bengals just beat the favorite to win the Superbowl, solid D and alot more weapons on Offense.

I come in peace. :D

I just want to learn a little bit more about your team before the game on Sunday, and I was wondering if you guys could fill me in. What are you expecting to see on Sunday? Good luck in advance, and let's hope for a minimal number of injuries. Also, if anyone wants a Bengals fan's opinion of his team, I'm happy to provide.

By the way, how's Tony Pike doing? I heard he was close to not making the cut, which is a shame... I'm a UC grad and loved seeing that kid lead our Bearcats to two Big East titles, and I hope he gets the chance to prove he can get it done in the NFL.

Welcome. I don't think Pike will get any opportunities with this team. Clausen is head and shoulders ahead of him due to playing in the same system at Notre Dame.

Me personally, I am expected to see the bengals use Benson between the tackles to test our unheralded Dline, which inevitably will open up the pass. Not because you will be gashing us with Benson (who gets the tough yards), but because the run game will not work as well as you think it might. We have absolutely dominated in run defense the first 2 games.. take away the NYG's 2 meaningless longer runs at the end of the game and we had them for like 30 total rushing yards the whole game. Our secondary leaves something to be desired, so if Palmer is on point, he could have a field day.

I fully expect Clausen to get his first start against you guys, and I think it will be an upgrade over Matt Moore. He gave us a spark, and I think we can move the ball with him at the helm. I am hoping our oline will play harder with a new QB, but I think it will be a close game either way.

What are your thoughts on the game? What do you expect to see from us?

I'm expecting a low scoring game for both teams. Whoever wins will probably be the one that wins the turnover battle, and right now you guys would have to have the edge there regardless of who starts for us given how strong your corners are (and how weak our receivers are outside of #89).

Cincy is built to tear this team apart. Unless the DL looks 100% like they did in preseason....it will be a long day. They have the weapons that will force us to respect the run....and 2 WRs to exploit the problems in the secondary. With 1 WR don't see us being able to catch up......even with good QB play.

Bengals probably have the most underated CB in the NFL. Smitty will have a tough time getting open for big plays with Joseph on him.

    • Micron just announced it is leaving the consumer market and Crucial as of February 26 will be no more. While Samsung and SK Hynix are guaranteeing most of its supply to business contracts for AI companies, leaving a tiny supply for its consumer markets. Combined with Micron those three companies make up 96% of the world's Dram supply with almost none of it going to consumers.  It's so bad that Samsung Mobile is having issues getting supply from Samsung DX which is causing internal issues and will lead to a shortage of phones and higher prices in February.  AMD announced a 10% price hike across its product line going forward as of today.   GPU's will go up here shortly, ram has already doubled this year and it will keep going up. Storage has seen a smaller increase but a bigger one is coming for it as the next generation of AI cards are being built that require a ton of HBM on the boards.  Rumors that both AMD and Nvidia will eliminate lower tier GPU's for the next generation if not sooner.  So the end isn't in site and it will totally affect next generation consoles, the PC building and prebuilt markets and everything in-between including cellphones.  Pretty much seeing the end of the main stream gaming industry end before your eyes right now.    Storage pricing doubling to tripling over the next year to two.  Consoles starting at 699.99/799.99 and up for what you would've spent 400 on just a few years ago.   An entry level PC build starting in the 3k range considering the new reality for ram, storage and GPU costs.  The cost to entry will be too high for most consumers after this shift is finished in 2028 and that's if a consumer market even exists by then. 
    • You know who else had a high completion %? Teddy 2 Gloves. He could check down with the best of them.  I'm one of those people that watches and analyzes a lot, my brain does it by default, and it's something that I fully expect our scouts and FO to do religiously. Football is a sport I enjoy, and I actually watch footwork more than most. It drives my wife nuts, especially with our local hockey team. I can tell within a few games usually if a goalie is going to make it or not just by watching their feet. That's why I said stats give you a direction. They help show you where to look. They're a tool. As long as you realize that they're a tool to be used, not relied upon for absolute certainty. I trust my eyes too. And I trust what I'm seeing. 3 years in, and Bryce's footwork and mechanics look almost identical to his rookie season and Alabama. Every time I see that jump pass I want to scream. Or when he squares up to the line of scrimmage to throw a pass instead of stepping into it to drive a throw. He does seem to have some sort of clutch gene, but he also has a WTF gene that rears its ugly head too.
