Hill says Bengals lacked focus vs Texans; vet players build up Sunday night as "huge"

[theguru]

Jeremy Hill: "We weren't focused last week. I don't want to say we overlooked them. It wasn't where we were supposed to be."

 

Domata Peko on facing Carson Palmer: "It is a little more incentive to get him on his back after leaving us.

 

Andrew Whitworth: "This is one of the most important weeks of the season. This is tough as it gets. Huge game on road."

Additionally, I know some of you will be more specific but I see the Bengals opened up about a 3 point dog against Zona and now they are a 5 point dog. In other words, the people willing to put their money where their mouth is think Arizona is going to beat the Bengals.

 

Your thoughts? Who wins?

I think you lose on the road. I think it's a bad matchup for you. Maybe I'm wrong.

I agree with Whit too, this game is huge, I would call it a "practice" playoff game.

 

Give me the Bengals, I think we see what we are made of this week.

I think Arizona is a bad/tough matchup for anyone, may win the SuperBowl if they stay healthy.

Bengals O has looked average lately. Better hope the D can turn futurecoach's mancrush over some.

Arizona WR core is banged up right now....hamstring-itis!

[MentschTrachtGottLacht]

I would take Arizona minus points up to and including 6.5. If it hit 7 I'd take the Bengals.

Bengals haven't won a big game in 20 something years, what makes this game any different? Bengals lose.

Why is this game any bigger than Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago? Why is that not considered a big game? Why was Seattle not considered a big game?

They were big games. Every game in the NFL is big. To say otherwise is sour grapes and a lame fan attitude. But that's just me.

As far as ties go for tiebreakers this game is not as important as division or conference games. It is a huge litmus test. 'zona is a really good team, especially defensively. I would think 17-14 range. That means it will be 41-38.

 

Cards have o be favorites.

A couple of years ago, the Bengals won in Pitt to put themselves in the playoffs and knock the Steelers out.. That's a huge game!

When I saw our schedule this year there were 2 games on our schedule that I labeled big games (besides the division games obviously) Seattle and Arizona. This was even before the flexed game time. We've won one already, we'll win this one too. Last week aside, this team has a chip on their shoulder and their is something special about them. Arizona will have to throw the ball on us (which they like to do anyways) I believe, and our secondary has been playing lights out. Bengals make a huge statement and finally get the ground game going and use play-action to hit a couple deep balls to Green and Eifert has another 3 TD game. Bengals 35 Arizona 21.

Ha in my defense since he has gotten to Arizona he has made me look right. However he made me look completley wrong the three years before he got to Arizona ha-ha.
