Bengals......Good Grief

[mhall]

What was that?????????????? Somebody please tell me they did not bring it and just conceded a loss? That was ugly, no Cincy defense at all. I went to bed right after the second half started I couldn't bare to watch anymore.

I did the same. Looked like they laid down....Lot of crappy football yesterday...

LOL...... I think it wuz jist a plot ....they wuz a pikkin their noses...er I mean their opponent fer saturday....

You know I'm thinking several of the teams are playing this game right now...Sandbagging is a tactic I guess. Thats ok if they do that maybe I'll start turning the channel when I see that going on.
Might as well watch something else on the final week or so of regular season unless it's a team that HAS to play to get in.

I think it was a half hearted game plan to go along with a half hearted effort, knowing that the Jets would nost likely be their opponent on Saturday. Now let's see if they open it up when it counts.

Hey, to make ya feel better, did you see that Colts second sting quarterback, Painter? Me thinks I have seen fire hydrants that run faster and Fedex trucks that would be more likely to hit a reciever.

My gut tells me Cincy will look very different when they meet the Jets second time around. Me thinks the fireworks are going to go off cause it's now do or die. To be fair, Cincy seems to fight best off the ropes.

I know the bengals had nothing to lose in the first game against the jets and probably picked to play them by losing to them but i think by letting the jets run over them like that will give the jets confidence this weekend. I agree i wont be like that this weekend but i feel that the jets have the advantage and momentum going into this game. Cincy better be ready ! I have waited for 22 years for the bengals to have a good team. I have always been a fan but its been hard over the years. When i get disgusted with them i just follow my 2nd favorite team......................the colts !

Looks like the ropey dope plan didn't work very well huh?
Indy your next....the lay down and we will play hard next time isn't a good tactic in my book. Indy has to be the Super Bowl Champs for their plan to be a success since they feel they will win it all.

I don't think they're going to go TO the Super Bowl, let alone win it! My prediction is it'll be either Baltimore or San Diego (I'm leaning towards the Ravens) vs. Minnesota, with the AFC team winning it.

I am not sure how anybody can say the Bengals lost because they rested players the week before. They have not been playing well down the stretch for whatever reasons. Using that logic then you must conclude that the Patriots lost because they didn't rest everybody and it lead to Wes Welker's injury.

N.Y. Jets 24, Cincinnati 14- Not a bad game, I think the Jets defense just had Cincy's number, and the Cincy recievers were not up to snuff. I think injuries on the Cincy side played a big part in it too.
Philadelphia 14, Dallas 34- Hands down a blow out, Philly earned the spot, but got eaten alive.
Baltimore 33, New England 14- After B-more scored on the opening kickoff, Brady looked like a hurt child, and his recievers have hands of stone. Bmore defense just overpowered the Pats line, got to Brady way more than he could stand.
Green Bay 45, Arizona 51 (OT) - The best payoff game I have seen in years!

The Ravens defense and Ray Lewis are at the top of their game, and Indy will have to work the short game to soften them up. I don't think Indy can rely on its defense to stop B-more. Indy is going to have to score often, and consume clock, to keep the ball out of Bmore's hands.

Chargers will clobber the Jets.
New Orleans will squeak passed the Cards.
I want too see Dallas beat the Vikes, so Farve can go back to doing jeans commercials.
