T-Rock's Take on the Giants

From the Bengals' weekly release:

"The NFL gives no breaks to an 0-2, team, and particularly not to the Bengals this week. They travel to the home of the defending world champions, who are off to an impressive start with clinical disposals of Washington and St. Louis. So be it, says the Cincinnati camp."

Very poetic.

It's followed by this quote from coach Marvin Lewis:

"We're going to get to work and go beat the New York Giants in New York, and that's all we can do."

Tom Coughlin speaks in a few minutes, then we get Lewis and the receiver named Chad Funfundachtzig (when you think about it, German makes as much sense as Spanish) after the locker room. Might not be much blogging today; they're killing the power in the Stadium for a while in about an hour. Someone just suggested it was a moment of silence for the Mets.

Here are the Giants who will be on the injury report later:

Michael Johnson (neck/stinger)
Mathias Kiwanuka (ankle)
R.W. McQuarters (calf)
Terrell Thomas (hamstring)
Lawrence Tynes (knee)

Johnson hurt himself on Sunday but was able to bounce back and make a stiff hit on special teams. Still, if he's unable to practice at full capacity this week, it could be the opening for Kenny Phillips to mix in with the starting group.

Also, I know there's been some concern about people using other peoples' names to post comments or questions on the live chats. It's my understanding that we're inching closer to having our commenters register, in which case you would pick a screen name and it would be yours. So, just know that we're working on it. And unless there's some kind of flagrant content, I don't think we'll be erasing comments for now. But that option will be looked at as well as we move forward.
