This is the type of game where we can win, and if we do, it will temporarily stop all the doom and gloom. I am hoping the Bengals are flat after beating the Ravens, and the Texans play 4 quarters of football.
No reason that we cannot win. The offense should make Roy Williams try to cover someone on first down pass plays. First down play action pass should be our friend, and we will need to make some big plays on first down. This week well tell alot about how our Texans are going to respond what is in store for the rest of the season, in the past, I think they have responded reasonably well under Kubiak when they feel their backs are against the wall. I also think this is a spot where we see if Kubiak is headstong with the run or willing to use the short pass to Slaton and the TE's as a pseudo run game.

Bengals defense is giving up 98 yards per game against the run.
We will either exploit that with a pass first mentality OR...

I still got a little coolaid left as well.
We might win if our OL, with two new young starters, can reasonably block and give Schaub time to throw well and our receivers, especially AJ, can make some nice deep plays. On defense we need to contain( no long TD runs) Cedric Benson, league leading rusher, and get enough pressure on Palmer to stop his accurate passing. Hopefully our special teams will do well again, and no kicks are blocked. I guess it will be a close game, hopefully we get that great play/lucky break/ on our side this week.

I really hope that Kubiak is not dumb enough to have a "told you so" episode.
By this I mean deciding to just bomb the ball down field every other play. Which would undoubtedly fail, with the intent of saying "I told you it wouldn't work". I would lose all respect for him if he was willing to have a "hissy fit" because of the criticism about his running mentality. Let me be clear. Running the ball IS necessary. HOWEVER, with this team it cannot be utilized to the capacity that Kubiak wants (due to obvious personnel inadequacies) We must DECREASE the dive plays and INCREASE the screens (to Slaton, not OD). Not saying that OD has not done a decent job with them. I just think that Slaton would do a better job.

Anybody worried about Duane Brown vs. Antwan Odom?

Sunday's Bengals Game Still Not Sold Out
I guess we aren't a real big draw for the Cincy folks....
 http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story...tJ3OFIlqQ.cspx CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals say Sunday's home game against the Houston Texans will not be a sellout, unless there is a "significant increase" in ticket sales. Under NFL policy, the 1 p.m. game must be sold out 72 hours prior to kickoff. If the game does not sell out, fans will not be able to watch it on television. The Bengals have sold out their last 46 regular-season and postseason games. Ironically, the last Bengals home game not to sell out was against the Texans on Nov. 9, 2003. Jack Brennan, the Bengals Public Relations Director, told 9News on Wednesday that "it's not looking good" and they are "nowhere close to selling out." Cincinnati is currently 4-1 and in first place in the AFC North after their thrilling win at Baltimore this past week.
