Week 5 Discussion (Other Teams)

No Lynch for the Seahawks and their O line can't protect Wilson. I predict the Bengals to be 5-0 come Monday.

Just came in here to post this.

Patriots @ Cowboys: This game had so much hype, first Br*dy wasn't going to be playing, now he is playing. Greg Hardy wasn't supposed to be playing but now he is playing. You had Br*dy and Edleman on one side vs Romo/Dez, who are now both injured and not playing. 

 

Love how everyone is still trying to hype this game, with no Romo or Dez it is hard to see how the Cowboys have any shot.

I predict this to be a defensive battle. Ever since Chancellor has returned he's made an impact and I believe Seattle has won since he has come back. The Legion of Boom is still the Legion of Boom so Dalton isn't going to be able to do much. I'm starting to think I should change my pick to the Bengals to be on the safe side but may still pick Seattle.

 

Come on Seattle, just once do something smart for once and beat the Bengals.

Maybe it's Chancellor that made the difference between 0-2 and 2-2, but it likely also had a lot to do with starting off with two on the road followed by two at home. I'm hoping they play like they do at home this Sunday over in Cincy.

I read that the game is legit sold out. So considering the lack of Bengals fans at games in recent years, it may be like playing in Seattle and having the 12th man as Seattle calls it.

I doubt it. Bengals are averaging roughly 58K per game, and their capacity is only around 65K.

 

Conservatively, maybe around 10K Seahawks fans, and that's probably a stretch. You're still talking 85-90% Bengals fans.

 

At worst, probably similar to Steelers/Ravens game in Baltimore/Pittsburgh. Probably a good 5K in road fans.

If this game was in Seattle, I believe the Hawks would win. Since it's in Cincy, I give them very little chance to win it. 

[BmoreBird22]

I don't see any way for Seattle to win with how bad their offense is. Even with Lynch in, they can't block to save their lives, Graham has no interest in blocking, and Wilson has been making some really big turnovers in really big situations. They got lucky last week against the Lions, but the Bengals are far better than the Lions and the referees probably now know the rules.

 

Russell Wilson's miracle scrambles won't save them all the time and a strong defense doesn't mean much anymore if you're only getting field goals.

Latest Injury news heading into tomorrow's and Monday's game.

 

- Ryan Shazier who missed 9 games as a rookie last year, and played in the first two games of the 2015 season will miss his third straight game with a shoulder injury.

with the way NE has been playing, I wouldn't have given them a shot either way, especially after a bye in NE.

[52520Andrew]

Yeah I would too with the way the Dallas defense is playing but I think it would at least be a somewhat entertaining shootout

The more I look at this game the more I think it's going to be a blow out win for the Bengals.

The Bengals offense actually matches up really well here. They are playing pretty much better than anyone up front. As long as Dalton doesn't get greedy and try to attack down field. Stick with the short catch and run plays. Eifert and Bernard could be big.

[PolishRifle]

So, Jim Harbaugh turned that Wolverines thing around in one season. Good job, 49ers. He clearly was the problem there. XP

I do not like Greg Hardy but it is going to be interesting today with the Cowboys playing the Patriots, especially after the things he said about Brady's wife and sister-in-law.

I did not like that move by Harbaugh to Michigan considering that move seriously hurts the Terps in the Big 10.

I just hope that nasty defense of the Seahawks knocks the snot out of the Bungles.

[JO_75]

Does anyone think that any of the remaining undefeated teams lose today?

[JO_75]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have activated Julius Thomas and he will play his first game as a Jacksonville Jaguar.

[allblackraven]

Does anyone think that any of the remaining undefeated teams lose today?

Bengals. Dalton won't be able to handle that secondary.

[ravensdan]

Does anyone think that any of the remaining undefeated teams lose today?

I have the Redskins over Atlanta.

[Cville-Raven]

Does anyone think that any of the remaining undefeated teams lose today?

Probably not. Carolina is on a bye but I got them getting blown out against Seattle next week.

Sry, for bringing that up. I'm not into college ball and I'm not from Maryland or the USA for that matter, so I wasn't aware of all that. My point remains true, though. The 49ers made a huge mistake by letting Jim go. He's proving to everyone, that he's a great coach and that the 49ers are managed by idiots.

I agree he knows how to turn things around and get players ready to play. IMHO, he has pretty good coaching skills but just may need to dial back his intensity a little bit at times at the pro level.

[JO_75]

Andy Dalton with a TD pass to Tyler Eifert to put the Bengals up 7-0. Come LOB, your better than that.

[ludy51]

Aj green. Wow

[PolishRifle]

I don't like how well the Bengals are playing this season. Playoffs can't come soon enough.

 

 

Aj green. Wow

 

Yeah, would be nice have a legit great receiver in his prime for our QB to throw the ball to.

Edited October 11, 2015 by PolishRifle

[JO_75]

Wow...... Cary Williams got beat by AJ Green and got lucky for a holding call to neglect what was a TD. Cary Williams looks like the weakness in the Seattle secondary.

[JO_75]

Aaron Rodgers threw his first interception at home for the first time since 2012..... Nick Foles apparently decided to throw one too and gave the ball back to Green Bay.

[52520Andrew]

Then Green Bay was stopped on 4th down so the Rams decided to help Hreen Nay out by throwing a pick 6

Also Winston just had an ugly turnover
