Will anyone outside of Ohio and northern Kentucky be watching?

I will. I want to see Cincy play every week. And Manzel -- could be high drama, high comedy, or high tragedy.
I love watching the Bengals offense and what Hue Jackson is doing over there.Section15Box113 said:

I won't be watching because fuck the NFL and their inferior Thursday night product. But that formation has me intrigued. How would one adequately defend against it?
I suppose you send your defensive ends on a straight path to the QB (outside the 2 guards), and send the linebackers and defensive backs in the flat to defend against the quick screens? Whatever the offense is doing in this formation, it has to be fast, otherwise the QB is going to get killed (assuming a pass).
You do that, and a quick handoff to Jeremy Hill would gain 35 yards. I think the Seahawks are positioned pretty well against it, assuming 54 Bobby Wagner is running across the formation to help at the top of the screen. If any of the Seahawks defensive linemen can win their one-on-one matchup, Dalton would have to get rid of the ball very quickly and then you'd likely have two blockers for the three defenders on either side of the field. Also, you'd have to keep your safeties ready in case one of the wide receivers on the line decides to go deep rather than blocking for the screen.GBrushTWood said:
There are a lot of good games Sunday. 1PM has the aforementioned Rams/Vikings as well as Packers/Panthers (which will give one team the inside track for #1 seed/HFA) and Raiders/Steelers (which, like Rams/Vikings, is a winner has an inside track on the playoffs game); the 4:25 game is the Colts/Broncos game which, from my glass is half-full perspective, will either knock the Colts out of first or the Broncos out of the unbeatens; the night game is Cowboys/Eagles and all those games from the tight NFC East are fun to watch for the drama (but not if you're a fan of consistency and competency).tims4wins said:

MAJOR changes in Detroit: Lions have fired GM Martin Mayhew and president Tom Lewand, league sources told ESPN.

They just ran a version of this with trips on the right but the inside guy in the trips was the tackle blocking. Love it.Super Nomario said:I love watching the Bengals offense and what Hue Jackson is doing over there.

Cincy looks pretty legit. This could be the year they finally take that step forward, instead of flopping spectacularly in the first round of the playoffs.
Kind of impressed that Manziel was disciplined enough not to try to force any throws there. No TD but nice drive nonetheless.
Johnny Football looks... dare I say... pretty good, against a very good defense, undefeated team, and division rival, in their building.
I'm not a fan, and I'm admittedly grading on a curve here, but still. That last drive and the TD throw were nice pieces of work.
