You took Cincy straight-up or just to cover?
The spread is 7.5; I doubt this defense can play well enough to keep the Bengals within a TD of Brady & Co ...
The thing is, I have no idea what to expect from this team anymore. Sometimes the defense comes out and flocks to the ball and hits people in the mouth and hurries the QB and creates turnovers....and sometimes they look like the have no idea how to play within their own scheme.
I just have a feeling that Brady will be able to take what he wants early in the game, and once they get a lead of a couple scores, they'll shorten things up and pound it out on the ground, keeping a weary Cincy defense on the field.
Oh...and one more thing....Rudi Johnson is injured, and while I like his replacement Kenny Watson, he has virtually no experience as a 'featured back'.
Kenny Watson, Total carries in a season:
'06: 26
'05: 0
'04: 26
'03: 0
'02: 116
Times with 20+ carries in a game: 2
Most carries in a game since 2002: 9 (last week)

The Bengals are quickly reverting back to "Bungles" status.
What an embarrassment.
Thank heavens for the Buckeyes.

Jaws is good but he's surrounded by idiocy so he's helpless. Jaws actually tries to break a game down and ANALYZE a game. Now there's a concept. However, his two partners pretty much detract from any of his attempts at calling what's happening on the field. As a matter of fact, there are only two or three good commentators in all of football. And, no, Phil Simms and John Madden are not on that list.
I really wish they would have not gotten rid of Paul Maguire, I really enjoyed him.
And I hate tony kornheiser

Yeah, it's obvious that Kornheiser is there for the sole purpose of bringing that "journalist" sensibility to the broadcast....to stimulate discussion and debate over league & team news, notes, and issues. He's damn good at that, but the fundamental problem here is that the genuine football fans in the audience don't want the actual play-by-play broadcast to include op/ed commentary and socio-political fluff. It's merely a ploy to draw fringe viewers who don't care so much about the specific game being played....and that waters the whole broadcast down for those who are watching because they have a vested interest in the game being covered.
Jaws is BY FAR the best NFL analyst in the biz.....I ALWAYS want to hear what he has to say.
And I think Mike Tirico does a fantastic job as well. I have no problem whatsoever with him.
It's the ratings-grab thing that bothers me about MNF; true football fans have no need for a third man in the booth (Kornheiser) providing the "witty repertoire" of an acclaimed sportswriter.
Not quite.
