Danny's .02:

1. OL
I don't like the Brown knee issue and we haven't seen much of Mike Iupati lately, so... big question marks in addition to the yearly what kind of liability vs gains is Ifedi this year question on penalties.

2. 2nd.. ary
Shaquil Griffin is starting to give me pause. The rest of the legion of whom could be somewhat underrated but how long before we know if Tedric is just keeping the seat warm for Blair.

3. Receiver mix
Moore's injury should get Metcalf some snaps and/or turner. Brown's toe could be more impactful in this game than one would think for a dude that was recently cut, but Ursua could certainly be one of those savvy early risers.

4. X-factor
I'm going with Ansah here. Clowney will get a lot of attention and I think Ansah is looking to make a splash after leading the lead in sacks in weeks he actually played.

Predictions-
Seattle 16 Bengals 10

[Cactus Jack]

I don't see this game being all that close. Their O-line isn't very good. They're without AJ Green. I think Carson has a big game. Run the ball & control the game for the most part will be the game plan. I see us winning by at least 2 scores here.

Hawks 27
Bengals 13

we might punk them for sure.

[Dangeruss]

I don’t like that Ansah is questionable again. I think they limit his snaps

We need at least 3 sacks in this game, otherwise I have concerns about our pass rush depth.

Our RBs or TEs need big performances. The Bengals have 4 linebackers on their roster. That needs to be taken advantage of.

Im interested in how the backup tailbacks get used and how often they’re catching passes, as that was a big theme in the preseason alluded to by the staff.

Let’s get a lead and keep it against this damn team for once

Ansah out

Time for Collier to shine. Maybe Greene can show something

[Dangeruss]

Classic Seattle start smh

Narrative completely flipped on its head today so far this half. Really fortunate to force that turnover.

[Cactus Jack]

Man that was ugly.

[Dangeruss]

I went from wondering why we drafted Blair so early in April...to hoping his back is healthy for the Steelers lol

It’s time to end the T2 experiment.

Yeah, I think that's the 2nd time he's miss played a ball like that. Pete made it sound like he won't be starting. Delano Hill with McDougald moving to Free Safety.

Can we somehow get Earl back?

The line got absolutely manhandled yesterday. Not good.

[Danny Darko]

Injuries are concerning for Ford, Dissly, and Justin Britt (who's backup is also gimpy)

[Dangeruss]

We need Poona badly. It’s definitely concerning

Really hoping Dissly isn’t as injury prone as he seems.
