Classic Bengal Video Clips

[THE PISTONS]

The underrated Bengals Thread brought back some memories of the 90's...so I wanted to start a thread where we could share classic Bengals clips. Maybe the youngsters in here down remember some of these.

The 1st I'd like to share was Jeff Blake throwing deep passes to Pickens and Scott. While the 90's were a dark time for the Bengals, Pickens and Scott were quite a good WR Duo. Later in the decade they added Corey Dillon who was a great RB.

Corey Dillon runs for 278 yards against the Broncos. I believe the Broncos has the #1 run defense going into this game. And we had Akili Smith at QB who was pretty terrible passing. It would seem that the Broncos would just focus on the run, but that's not how it played out.

Dillon is another guy that if he played on another team is probably in the HOF. Just watch these clips. He had the speed to outrun guys and the power to run over guys...and he wanted to run over guys.

I remember seeing guys grab his ankles to tackle him and 2-3 guys running to try to tackle him and he'd just lower his shoulder and try to punish them.

From 1994 to 1999, Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Carl Pickens and Darnay Scott combined to catch 788 passes, for 11,131 yards and 80 touchdowns. Along with quarterback Jeff Blake they formed one of the most electrifying offenses in the league.

His stiff arm was an assault weapon.

Do you guys remember the Neil O'Donnell fake spike against the Steelers? I can't find video.

I think it was that game, but on that drive I remember Dillon trucking Dewayne Washington of the Steelers before he went out of bounds.

I do remember the fake spike.  It was great.  The Dan Marino move.

That might have been the pinnacle of my 90's Bengals memories.

In the 90's and 2000's I used to be on message boards arguing that the Bengals just had bad luck, etc.

Over the years it jaded me. And I do work in management and have a lot of management training. I just see them as mismanaged now.

Hopefully the new coaches can thrive. All it takes is the right 1 I suppose. But, it's a lot to overcome.
