Hobson updated his article:

[quote]The importance of the game against the 1-1 Seahawks came through even before kickoff with AFC North rivals pissburgh and Baltimore back east controlling games that would give them winning records at 3-0 and 2-1, respectively.

The 1-1 Bengals wing their way back from Qwest with a Monday night date against undefeated New England.

The Bengals felt comfortable turning to backup center Alex Stepanovich for the second straight week because the former Cardinals starter is used to playing in the Seahawks' noise-infested building against Seattle's small but quick front seven.

Physically it would appear to be a better matchup for the 300-pound Stepanovich than last week's scrum against 400ish-pound Ted Washington. But the Bengals still managed to rush for 137 yards on 26 carries and as Stepanovich said during the week after going against Ted he feels like he's ready for anything.

Caleb Miller got the start in place of Brooks in the middle, which put more stress on a much-maligned special teams unit that gave up a 63-yard punt return and an 85-yard kick return in the first two games.

Special teams was probably where linebacker Dhani Jones was headed. Jones was active despite only three practices with the club after signing earlier in the week.

The microscope is trained on the backers and the secondary after the defense allowed 51 points, 554 yards, and eight plays of at least 20 yards last week against one of the NFL's worst offenses.

Also on the inactive list were linebacker Rashad Jeanty (leg), wide receiver Tab Perry (hamstring), defensive back Ethan Kilmer (knee) and defensive end Frostee Rucker (coaches' decision).[/quote]

We need to target Alexanders wrist. Just keep going for it. We need to lay some big hits early to get some kind of idenity. Last year after our second half callapse against the Chargers we held the Saints to 16. I hope we can hold the Seahawks to 16. Hopefully the Browns game opened the eyes of our defence.

Will will score more than 14.[/quote]
Yeah definitely, the question is can we hold them under 50? :unsure:

Remember folks, this is the same team that lost to the Cardinals, who are getting the shit knocked out of them by the Ravens.

[quote][b]MORE PREGAME NOTES:[/b] With the Patriots headed to Paul Brown Stadium for next Monday night's nationally-televised game, the spying issue is going to be aired all week long.

Although Lewis refused to discuss it last week, Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren had no problem addressing the issue as a former member of the NFL Competition Committee. Lewis is a member of the committee and has been hesitant to speak.

"The only point I wanted to make is I resent sometimes the implication that we al l do this. We don't," Holmgren said. "They are an outstanding football team. They have an outstanding coach and coaches. And that's enough. It should be enough and it probably would be enough. Yeah, it surprises me when things like this would happen."

Holmgren, who served with Bengals president Mike Brown on the committee, said the topic is continually discussed and it's not easy because technology has created issues that weren't around 20 years ago.

"It opens the door for speculation," Holmgren said of the Pats' case. "It's a shame. It's a little like the vast majority of players in the league are good guys and don't get into trouble. They're good husbands, good fathers, good citizens and then it only takes a few to have everyone thinking, 'My goodness, the league is falling apart.' There's nothing further from the truth.

"Yeah, it bothers me," he said. "I always looked at as a privilege to coach in this league. I'm the luckiest guy in the world and I try to follow the rules and I kind of expect everyone else to as well."[/quote]
