What do you guys think is best for us? The Bengals winning tonight thus the cards being pumped to beat a 9-0 team, or the Bengals losing tonight in what would be a confidence shattering loss at home?

With Palmer, Gresham, Arians, etc. ......

I don't think it really matters what Cincy does tonight. We will be fired up for that game and I expect us to play well.

I find Gruden one of the most irritating commentators I've ever heard.

As far as the game next week, either way is fine with me.

Just win. Go Cards!

UNdefeated!

I want the Cards to be the first team to beat the Bengals and I think it will help if they are undefeated. More mentally challenging for them to keep the status quo at the moment as the pressure builds to keep it going.

It could give us a slight edge and would be mentally rewarding

In some ways, the Bengals resemble the Cardinals and sort of the AFC equivalent of the Cardinals this season. They have a lot of weapons and team speed, Dalton does not have Palmer's arm strength but is playing great, and their defense has a great secondary. Then we have the franchise. The Bengals have not had a great past but they have a great team at the moment and there will be a share of Cardinal fans doing the same things other team fans do when they hear our name and go "it is just the Cardinals". Well, they are the Bengals and they are good and they like the Cardinals cannot help if the teams on their schedule might not be 'somebody' worthy to beat to get respect... and just like we want them undefeated for respect in a possible win, the Bengals will want to beat us maybe more so they can say they finally beat a 'somebody' lol

The bengals aren't playing that well tonight against a banged up underachieving Texans team

Dalton have traditionally struggled big time against blitzes up the middle and disguised coverages. Exactly what he's dealing with tonight. Since we're one of the best teams in mixing up coverages I'm starting to feel a lot better about this game.

Come on, I just NEED 19 yards from AJ Green to win my fantasy matchup to vault into 1st place or fall to 5TH! :(

I couldnt care less...

9-0 or 8-1

If you can't get fired up either way for a team of that caliber somethings wrong...

This team will be ready to play either way.

Dalton is also notoriously bad under the lights too. 0-4 in playoff games

Undefeated. If Dalton can't score more than 6 points on Houston we should tear them apart. Their defense is good though only giving up 17 PPG.

Eric Winston attempting to keep J.J. Watt out of Dalton's grill.

Not going so well.
