Lets talk...match ups:
The Bengals explosive offense will see one of the best defenses they will face all year today in the Seattle Seahawks. The "legion of boom" is back at full force with Kam Chancellor returning to the lineup. Andy Dalton, who has been near perfection in every game this year, will have to utilize every offensive weapon he has in his arsenal today. The dynamic duo of Jeremy Hill and Gio Bernard will need to be working like a well-oiled machine. Hill, who was limited in practice earlier this week, went full throttle in Thursday's practice and will be probable for today's game. Personally, Mr. Hill having a huge game like the one he had last week against the Chiefs would be lovely seeing as my Fantasy team is becoming the laughing stock of my league. My Bengals are undefeated while my fantasy team is the exact opposite. Defeated; staring at 0-5 if they don't get their act together this week.
Alright, alright enough with my Fantasy moans and groans, back to the real thing. After watching the less-than stellar Seahawks' performance last Monday against the Lions, it's clear that this is not the Super Bowl Seahawks' offense. Russell Wilson is just as mobile as ever, but putting points on the board is a struggle. Marshawn Lynch will not play for the second week in a row due to a hamstring injury. This leaves the bulk of the carries to undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls who only boasted 48 yards on 17 rushes last week. Although the Bengals are favored in this game, it will not be an easy task. This is the first time that Russell Wilson has visited Paul Brown Stadium, and he is still considered to be in the upper echelon of QBs in the league.
Lets talk...little known facts:
Marshawn Lynch is a huge part of this Seahawks' offense. Missing Beast Mode is a big blow. Since he joined the team back in 2010, this is the first time he has had to miss consecutive games.
The Bengals have proven to be an offensive powerhouse and the numbers don't lie. In the first two quarters of the games so far this season, they have outscored their opponents 66-18.
The Bengals have only trailed their opponent in all of one minute and 58 seconds this season.
Andy Dalton has owned the NFC. In his career, he has a record of 12-3-1 against NFC teams.
And last but not least, Russell Wilson was born in Cincinnati! He was only here a short time before his family moved to Virginia, but Russell admits it will be nostalgic returning to the Queen City. He also said that he's going to have to eat White Castle's and Skyline Chili on the trip. Well Russell, you load up on a hefty three-way or a couple of coneys before the game. If you move anything like I do after a Skyline meal, the Bengals will be in good shape.
Kick off is at one, WHO DEY!!!!!!!
