Mo Sanu, greg little, and Rex Burkhead lining up as the top 3 WR have nothing to do with this game.   Not sure why the go to move is point out a thing that has zero to do with what's going on.  

This team is 1-1 and the loss happened when they were without Eifert, Andy, Illoka, Pacman....   Now we have 3 of those 4 back and don't turn it over .... should we not be fine?

I appreciate your optimisim, but NO they won't be fine, that is the whole point. It's not the players, or the talent, or the coordinators, its Marvin Lewis gameplanning against the Stoolers and in the playoffs!!! Regardless of different players and coaches it has always been the same, and will continue to be as long as he is the one making decisions!!!!!

All of us non-blinded homer fans can see what's coming a mile away. It is my wish and hope when it happens the fans like you will see it, and do like I did in 2010 and drop their season tickets, not purchase merchandise, and when the Cincinnati Bengals sales department contact them.....tell them to EFF OFF until they make changes that show their commitment to winning in the postseason!!!!!!

Franchise QB's should not be making head first tackles against 300lb defensive linemen after an interception. Watch what Brady does after he throws a pick. I believe that is what the op is talking about. 

Yes, all players are in a position to be injured, the QB has to be smarter than that. Giggles even said in the press conference that day the same thing, you have to chalk up your loss and live to play another down!

SO, what some of you guys are saying is we'd be better off if this game were played in Shitsburgh where Marvin has won 6 times.

How long will we have them back before the cheap shotting asshats strike again?

Yes.  But can we win?

I truly believe if they had the mid season Dalton, they would have a good chance, but would still have questions given the second half implosions in all of the previous playoff games. Without Dalton against the Stoolers, I believe they have little to no chance.

They can win, but I put it at 15% or less.

Marvin Lewis does not know how to properly prepare teams for big playoff games, and more importantly how to adjust game strategy at halftime. The head coach is responsible for game planning and setting the atmosphere for the players, he must up their tempo and will! I will be rooting for the 
Bengals,  do not get me wrong, I hate the Stoolers more than any team, but history is hard to ignore.

4 out of 6 AFC teams are the same(no counting seed) and so are 3 of the NFC teams.

If there's going to be a parallel to a previous playoff game I'd rather it be this one, except for the frostbite....

I mean, Ryan Mallet did and almost knocked them outta the playoffs.....so......

I'm confident that we can get it done.

If we don't, I hope we can promote Hue to HC (wishful thinking) . Giggles is here to stay.

Bengals should come out hitting first and hitting hard. I'd love to see Burfict destroy Heath Miller.

Yes if that 05 team had this D, there would have been no stopping them.

BTW the game was played in 2006 and this game is in 2016 although it represents the prior year season.
