Practice Notes:

[Cincyfan78]

Everyone practiced today, except for Newman, which shouldn't be a surprise

Whit, Harrison, and Dunlap were all back at practice today.




per @Joereedy

 

[cincygrad]

Fuck Yeah!

I'm back on board baby!

Two game run - Second seed in the playoffs.

I haven't been drinking today.

 

[Cincyfan78]

I'm going to say this, and I'm sure others may disagree...

But Dunlap is the key of that group.

Whit being out would hurt, but Zeitler has been back for 2 weeks. Pollack has done an OK job...I think the OL could handle that well enough.

But, the DL has already taken hits, and I think losing Dunlap when the Bengals have already not pressured QB's well the past 2-3 weeks, would have been a big blow to a defense already down it's top 2 CB's. They need that pressure to help cover the secondary.

Can they practice while going through concussion protocol?

Can they practice while going through concussion protocol?

I guess it is part of it.

All of them practiced, and all are listed as ?able, which is standard since they only practiced for 1 day

 

[CrashDavisSports]

They all passed the initial stages maybe and were released to practice?

 

[DanBengalfan]

the Bengals are like, "you don't have a concussion bitch, we'll pay the fines"

Peterson should play as well

Adrian Peterson listed as questionable, expected to play | ProFootballTalk

This is one of those games that's much tougher than it looked a few weeks ago

I agree. Isn't it time for them to give Josh Freeman another chance? Please?

If Leslie Frazier was coaching for draft positioning instead of his job I think we'd have a better chance of seeing the Josh Freeman experiment. He also might feel slighted that he was the only coordinator in Bengals history fired after one season?

The wind hopefully slows down their passing game a little. It's been surprisingly decent with Cassel.

The Vikes have been playing well so we should expect a serious challenge. Still if we are who we want to be then this is a game we should win. A win would put some serious pressure on the Ravens, who then have to win to stay alive in the division race. Our own situation and need to win should override any revenge motive Leslie Frazier might have against us.

Just do it, damnit.......

Bengals lose tomorrow. The Vikes are playing possessed for Frazier and with injuries at the corners Patterson will have a field day.

 

[DanBengalfan]

The Bengals better come out pissed off...

I was mostly joking about the Frazier/revenge angle.

They are playing hard and this does look like a tough game though.

It should be close

 

[NCBengal]

Just win.... focus on winning the game at hand... That's all we need to do. Tune out the rest of the world and just win your own damn game.

Ravens lose tomorrow. Brady comes out pissed they lost to the freaking Dolphins and goes crazy on your secondary with scrub WR's.

I agree with what Crash agrees with.....
