This thread will be pinned once the game starts.

Extra info regarding how players look will be appreciated.

If there are any injuries, please post about them in the separate injury thread

 
Benson coming on strong. Denver is getting zero pass rush. Coles has dropped two today (not very well thrown balls).

Cin with the fake punt that works!!

I wish Gus Johnson would do all our games. He could make a chess match exciting.

 
I hate to say it because i have been bad mouthing him as much as the next guy but benson looks good...running hard, some good moves. I know, week 1, against the broncos but he looks good...

 
agreed. Benson started slow but he's started bowling guys over, making some nice moves, made a nice catch too

Another Denver punt what a surprise.

Orton underthrew a long ball to Marshall that he could have had but it went right through his hands.

 
Was it just me or did Ochostinko look like he alligator armed that interception? It was like he had a chance to catch it himslef or at least knock it down once it was in the air, but he saw a Bronco flying at him and just gave up on it at the last second.

 
Agree with the OchoCinco shying away from challenging for the catch on the INT (but since the defense can basically kill him after the deflection, it's tough to blame him).

How about our (cincy's) defense? 4 straight 3-and-outs.

 
I'm amazed at how good the Bengals rush game has looked so far today. I know their yards per rush average isn't great, but I thought they were going to be much worse. More importantly, they're sticking with it.

Cedric Benson is running like he doesn't realize that he's Cedric Benson.

 
Well, it appears that Denver fixed its defense at the expense of its offense.

I know Denver's special teams have stunk for years, but I do not like the fact that there are so many 1st string players playing on special teams. It is ultimately going to get some one really important hurt.

 
Gus Johnson makes every first down pass sound like a 99 yard TD pass to win the Super Bowl on 4th and Goal.. on the moon!!!!!!

I actually love the idea of first stringers on special teams. I'm not worried so much about them getting hurt (ST injuries aren't really that common, especially if you're not doing anything risky like busting wedges). My only concern would be if it was tiring them out or taking away reps with the first-string offense/defense.Denver's offense is terrible right now, although I don't know if you can hold that against the coach- it's not like he really inherited anything on that side of the ball or anything ( :football: ).Matt Prater's looking as good as he looked early last season. Hopefully he doesn't end this season looking as bad as he looked late last season.

You know I can't tell if it is Orton's ball or what, but to see guys like Stokley and Hillis dropping the ball, you have to wonder.

Even if it's just learning a new scheme, there was no reason to "fix" what wasn't broken in the first place. Last year, Denver had an offense. This year, they have this.
 
Orton is going to get killed in the locker room if he keeps hanging his WR out to dry like this. 3rd time this game he has gotten one of his guys hurt.

Royal down on the field after getting nailed by a LB.

Moreno is back in.

HERE WE COME BABY (other bengals fans crossing their fingers cause this is about the time we like to fumble/INT and give the other team the ball?).
