27-13 Bengals

One question.

Why do people keep bashing the secondary? Especially Kirkpatrick.?

To me this looked like they did hold down one of the greater offences to 10 points.!
When Pig Ben did hes scrambling, he could not even find an open taget after 5-10sec. That means the secondary did a hell of a good job.
On one scramble, where Ben had the most time of all, they covered so well he tried to push it into a covered target, and we picked it off.

IMO they did outstanding - Holding one of the hottest WR combos in the leauge. To 10 catches for 96yards and 1td.
They took away the deep passing, from one of the best teams in the leauge doing this. Longest catch by a wr? 21yds.

I take my hats off for this secondary. And also Kirkpatrick.
He might be giving up a few plays, but they all will. Remember it is hes first year starting, and he could do ALOT worse.



I believe many teams in this leauge would kill for our secondary.

Kudos - 7-0 !!!

And btw.
We now have a 99% chance of going to the PO, 97% chance of winning AFCN, and 64% chance of 1 rd bye.
Also no team with a 3,5 game lead at this time, has ever NOT won the division.

Its a short week, we have 3.5 days...maybe...to talk about this game so, let's talk about it.

Ok ok, there's really not much to talk about, Dalton may throw 8 TD's on Thursday night. Hayden will be out with a concussion and that's pretty much about all they have.

I know, Battle of Ohio, throw the records out the door, don't sleep on the Browns and whatever other cliche' that's out there that can be said. I'm sorry, the Browns don't or shouldn't have a chance in this game on Thursday night.

This is the perfect game for the Bengals Offense to take out some frustration on the Browns not only from last years arse whooping the Browns put on the Bengals but the frustration of coming out flat against the Steelers after the Bye.

Too early after the win today? Probably but I'm ready for Thursday in Prime Time to make a statement.

Let's go Bengals!

WHO-DEY!!!

Enjoy this nail bitter.

Penalties, bad snaps, and all. We tried to lose that game. What tells me this is a different team than I've ever seen is we haven't let it beat us yet. That said, how long before it catches up to us? But 7-0 and we've killed all the stigmas so far! Prime time games are next on the list!

I was born in 88, so I dont have to many good bengal teams to choose from, but oh well. This is the best bengal team I have seen. Both sides of the ball can just flat out play. And it looks like we've figured out, that both sides have to show up. Very excited for the rest of the season.

Mike Mitchell added me on Facebook years ago.  Might have even been when he was in high school.  He initially went to my high school, then transferred his senior year to our biggest rival just to play football.

There's a few people commenting on Facebook telling him he made an amazing interception when, in reality, the ball was popped up in the air and it was an easy interception.  

Afterwards, he ran threw his arms out to the crowd like he was great and then took a bow.

Do I troll him on Facebook?

What should I post?

"Cute bow, bro!"

"Imagination your celebration if you had a winning record!"

"They teach you that bow at Highlands?!"

Something else?

I know they said Maualuga had a calf injury. Any updates?

Just saw a breaking news on ESPN's Bottom Line thing that said he badly tore his MCL and is expected to be placed on season ending IR.

Considering how poorly we seem to play after a bye week, is anyone else thinking maybe the Bengals should AVOID a first round bye in the playoffs?
