It doesn't seem to matter who we play against. Nobodies turn into superstars with this defense, and our corner backs aren't playing to a good standard.


Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's the "bend but don't break" mentality, which i hate. I'm more used to seeing our defense carrying our offense to victory, but not vice versa.

I think the coaches still have some concern about Jeremy Hill's fumbling. The game plan today indicated that to me. They gave Hill the ball alot in short yardage situations, but the key to me was the final drive. When the Bengals were trying to run out the clock at the end of the game, who played all the snaps? Gio did. I think they wanted his sure hands in there. I don't think this is a bad thing, I think the coaches are making him prove it again before he is more fully trusted. I like that out of the coaching staff.

4-0 feels fantastic. I couldn't be happier about it.

But hearing and reading some people talk about our Bengals has me shaking my head. We're shoe-ins for an AFC Championship Game? Seriously? We're not even shoe-ins for a winning record. Super Bowl contenders? I'd love to win a prime time game, first. Dalton "looks more confident". Okay, we'll see how that goes when we start facing teams with winning records.

Everybody needs to take a deep breath. You should know better by now. Make them prove it to you before you start drinking the Kool-Aid.

There's always one play (debatable on some games) that puts the proverbial nail in the coffin. The play that after it occurs you go, well there's the ball game.

What was that play for this game?

Another victory for the boys on their way to a 16-0 regular season. As usual it is time to hand out the game ball.

Winners to date:

Week 1: TYLER EIFERT
Week 2: GIO BERNARD
Week 3: AJ GREEN/ ANDY DALTON

Week 4 game ball goes to:

ANDY DALTON: 321 yards, 1 TD, 127.1 Passer Rating

JEREMY HILL: 40 yards (4.4 YPC) 3 TDs

MO SANU: 84 receiving yards at 21 YPC

BRANDON TATE: 55 yard double dive TD reception

DOMATA PEKO: 2 sacks

VINNEY REY: 15 tackles (10 solo)

DARQUEZE DENNARD: 6 tackles, 1 PD in replacement duty

Less than 2 minutes this whole season. This team is playing outstanding right now. Once Burfict comes back (in the Steelers game 3 games from now) the defense will be much better. If the team keeps playing like it has you can expect us to at least be in the AFC championship game most likely against NE.


This is a great year to be a Bengals fan!

Game Bawl for Week 4 vs. Chiefs

Who? Dalton or the defense. I'm gonna go with Dalton even though I think the defense won it.

Looking to buy an authentic helmet for my home office area, and NFL.com offers some with decals that overlap on the stripes.

Here's TO's helmet (decals, covering the holes on the helmet):


Here's Palmer's helmet (clearly looks painted on):


Wondering if I can find a painted helmet somewhere.

It's just setting up perfectly. Everyone expects us to win. KC on the surface looks bad but has actually been better than they look. Dalton has been near-perfect. KC is coming off a waxing at the hands of GB and is due for a rebound.

Line is down to -3 1/2. I'm not the only one who sees this game as a trap.
