    Nothing but low expectations for this game we are average on both sides of the ball...And that's pretty much it the Bengals are better then us on both sides.

    I would like to say it is going to be a defensive struggle, but I am not sure. The Titans are very unpredictable on both sides of the ball. The big difference I see this year is our coach is not going to let the crap that happened last week slide. I really hope that the team responds and comes out with a strong defense to stop Hill/Bernard. I would not be surprised to see get more carries this week as we struggle more with bigger backs like him.

    Locker HAS to be better this week, hell he can't be much worse. I hope Whiz gets him going with some slants outside early to Wright. We failed to get our best WR involved last week. Wright is by far our best offensive weapon. He needs the ball early and often.

    This could easily be a blowout but I think the score will be closer than how the game actually goes. I wouldn't say like the Cowboys game since we were a dropped interception away from a potential tie but let's not talk about last Sunday.

    The Bengals are missing Green and I think another weapon or two. After seeing our run game exposed, the Bengals should be focused on pounding the ball and controlling time of possession. It's going to be a rough day.

    Injury update:

    1) WR - AJ Green isn't being ruled out. He sat out of practice today, but Marvin Lewis thinks he may be on the field tomorrow. Could all be a bluff. We'll see.

    2) LB - Burfict was nowhere to be seen today. No idea what that means. Dealing with concussion issues again? Getting treatment for the "stinger" suffered at the end of the last game? Definitely out? No big deal? Nobody on the team is tipping their hats.

    3) RG - Kevin Zeitler is out for at least a month. Mike Pollack will be filling in for him.

    4) TE - We only have 1 healthy TE on the active list right now. For a team that runs a ton of 2 TE sets, this makes things interesting. I suspect they'll move their UDFA HB out into the TE spot for blocking and perhaps the occasional dump off pass.

    Update on Burfict: It IS, in fact, concussion symptoms that he's dealing with.

    I hope they sit him this week, but we'll see.

    The key will be to stop Gio/Hill. After that ugly performance vs Murray, I don't expect this to happen. Yes we stopped Charles but Bengals OL is closet to the caliber of Dallas than it is KC. This makes me think CIN will have a lot of success running the ball.

    If we can contain their run game, I like our chances. Make Dalton beat you like we made Smith beat us (didn't happen).

    Run run run the ball on offense. Bengals are a stout D, but we can't abandon the run. We have a pretty good OL & run game ourselves, we need to stick with that.

    I say Bengals win 24-13
