Bengals/Cards flexed to SNF

Sunday Night Football primes unbeaten Bengals vs. Cards 

Here we go boys..... 3 straight primetime games. This has been Andy's kryptonite and now we get three straight chances.

he needs to get a good breakfast. I recommend McDonalds steak and egg mcmuffin.

since the first two should be wins (Browns and Texans), the league doesn't want the bengals to gain too much confidence in the prime time games before they play the Broncos, and then, playoff games, so they flexed a game we were probably going to lose, and put it at night so everyone will think same old bengals.

And on a side note, I was actually supposed to be in Phoenix that weekend visiting family, and was gonna try and get tickets for the game, but plans changed and I was just there this weekend instead

The Browns have one of the worst run defenses in the league, they'll be without their star CB and a starting saftey, and they have a below average pass rush. That game should get ugly. A good game to exorcise the primetime demons.

And there's still an outside shot that they send their star left tackle to Denver by the end of the day!

The browns want more than a 1st round pick from what I read. If the Browns are gonna trade their best player, who actually wants to be there, then they should just fold the team.
I'd be shocked if Denver made that move.

Browns and Texans are both at home. Should be two easy wins. Browns always give us problems, but they are severely undermanned right now. The Texans are complete trash. They should blow those guys outta the water.

The Cardinals game scares me to death. I could see that game going about as well as our prime time foray to Foxboro last year. The Cards have the most balanced team in football imo. Arians is a better coach than Marv, Palmer is having a career year, and that defense is downright nasty at times. Like others have said, perfect game for the media to point to as proof the Bengals are pretenders.

Yet they keep Manziel around...

Never change Cleveland. Never change.

I'll be interested to see what happens with the Cardinals in the back-end of the season. They have Seattle twice, us, Green Bay, St. Louis, Minny and Philly. They've got a ton of talent on that team, but they are definitely going to be tested.

I expected a loss in the cardinal game, so as long as its not 45-0 or someone important gets hurt, its ok with me

 

[BurrowDeep2Chase]

Is there more pressure for Andy in primetime or Carson vs Bengals? I say more pressure lies on Carson. We whooped his ass last time around. This may be his last chance to stick it to we the fans and Mike Brown

 

[CrashDavisSports]

We are 7-0 and by the sounds of things with the fans and the media, if we lose a single game to anyone, especially in prime time, we are just pretenders.

No one will settle for less than a perfect season at this point, which is kind of ridiculous. We might be good enough to go 13-3 and have our best record ever, but the way everyone is talking, any loss...forget about the Bengals.

I mean hell it is basically a west coast trip, primetime game, on the road against a very good, very balanced football team. I can easily see us losing that game just just because it is primetime either.
