Bengals Week - Things could get ugly

This game will be a good indicator of what type of team the Pats have this year...do they stand up and fight or lay down and roll over ?

Stork and Fleming got their Baptism of Fire last nite...let's see them build on it.

Browner back? How smoothly does he integrate into the Defense.

A close loss means the Pats are on the right track......a blowout by Cincy and some major changes will be expected.

Can't believe Dobson is still inactive...same with KT.......

Why activate White? Did he even play?

Forget Tyms. We need to get KT and Dobson on the field at the same time

Ya what they've been doing for 4 weeks isn't working. Let Amendola be inactive a few weeks, run out 4 Wide of Dobson, Edelman, Thompkins, and LaFell hope one of them gets open and Brady has time. I mean it's probably a better chance of the crap game plan they've been using for 4 weeks.

White had 3 rushes for 21 yards and 3 receptions for 15 yards. I thought he actually looked pretty good in his limited time.

No, I'll be watching. But I'm sort of a masochist at times. I fully expect us to lose big, unfortunately. Cincy is arguably the best team in the AFC.

So they have no chance? Then don't watch. Jesus you are always depressing.....

If the coaches actually game plan, they can win and Brady will be Brady. But until then, Brady is gonna be put in position to fail and the team will lose

That's Bull, with those game day roster moves we have seen lately and the musical cheers O-Line Cincy is going to tear this team a new one. Cinci have Two capable TE's and a very good pass catching RB who will play catch with this Defense.

They have a good running game and some good receivers as well. This will be another blowout, unfortunately this is the beginning of the end. Sports is very cyclical, even the 49ers, Cowboys and Steelers Dynasties crumbled before they came back strong. Luckily, we have a GREAT owner who cares about winning, and won't let this team to crumble into he abyss. Also, looks like we have a pretty good replacement for Tom Brady when his days are over as a Pat's QB.

Ugly is an understatement. If they are embarrassed like last night again for the second week in a row, nationally, and in primetime again, I think some heads will roll. Someone will take the fall for it and be out.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that. If we lose I hope that it will at least be competitive and close and actually look like the team is trying and not just going through the motions.

I have absolutely nothing to be positive about. Neither do you. You just chose to shield yourself from reality with the mask of delusion. Good for you. I'll continue to be a realist, however.

Not sure why they deactivate KT or Dobson but dressed Bolden. Hoo-man seriously starting to suck. Seem like Solder mind was in La-La Land.

Defense played so soft, the soft served ice cream was laughing at it.
Offense still rely on throwing instead of balance attack. Why so little snaps for Develin? Are we starting to get used to 3 and out to start the game?

At least, we all knows Stork delivered. Probably the only slightly good news.

A lot of decisions BB has made over the last few years make no sense. We are starting to see the fruition of poor decisions come home to roost.

EXACTLY!! spread things out, even if they aren't up to speed yet get them both on the field running plays they are good with. Defenses fear speed. KC didn't have any Dbacks that could hang with either of them.

I'm sure BB will bench Thompkins and Dobson again for a rookie RB who only gets touches in garbage time and a crap WR who can never get open.

Awesome having 5 RB's active and we abandon the run and throw all night...

Brady and everybody else knows the o-line is terrible. This o-line including that overrated has-been Logan Mankins have sucked since the first Giants Superbowl. The only thing changed on the offense (outside of some additions of WRs) is Tom Brady. He is hellbent on passing the ball to no-one else but Edelman. Soon as the ball is snapped Brady is eying Edelman, by the time he realizes he's not open (behind this o-line, it takes less than half a second), it's too late to do anything else. Edelman can be smothered in defense, makes no difference to Brady, he's either gonna get strip-sacked, sacked or have his pass intercepted because he can only depend on Julian Edelman. Maybe if he searched the whole field in that less than half-a-second, he would see more open receivers. I know Garrapolo played in garbage time, but at least he seemed to have been spreading the ball out, unlike Brady. It kills me to say this, but Brady should be traded to a loaded team similar to Denver, like the Texans, where he would be more appreciated and more effective. Jimmy G will likely be more effective in this Josh McDaniels=crapfest for an offense than Brady at this point.

This is not the same Pats team as in years past. We're not even as good as were were last year. We're worse. Much much worse.

I can't see any scenario in which we win this game.

I hope youre wrong but fear that youre right.

Revis and Ryan have not looked good the past 2 games and Cinci has explosive WRs.

if the coaching staff goes back to basics and "lets the players play" rather than being cutesy and forcing a losing scheme into the game they can win. if not, they will be blown out like last night

Maybe tyms will see the field?? Worth a shot

the bengals come to town undefeated, some are claiming that theyre the best team in the league.
maybe we destroy them like we did with the texans two years ago when they were the trendy pick. they showed up with silly letterman jackets. lol

who am i kidding? cinci will run over us.

I hope they scratch DA...but they wont and will scratch dobson instead is my guess

I don't think Belichick would make any major moves if the team lost 99 to 0. He is still delusional enough to believe he has
enough talent on offense and defense to have a winner.
