They haven't looked good all year. I thought the first game was an anomaly, but it's been a trend. There's no better week than this one to show some professional pride though.

As for what the Patriots did or didn't do...it's a silly comparison because the Patriots have proven for many years that they know how to deal with and overcome adversity, and still go on to win playoff games and Super Bowls.

The one you should be disgusted at, if you ARE disgusted, is Mike Brown.  The same man who fired Sam Wyche, and segued the franchise into the 90s debacle! 

That ego related mistake was equally as colossal as his father's egomaniac decision to choose Tiger Johnson over Bill Walsh when he stepped down as HC!

If Bengals get blown out then think it is over and they have quit.

If they find a way to win or come close to it ? Then believe there is still hope.

But if that smack in the face loss does not get their attention in the form of motivation then they never stood a chance this year anyway.

What disgusts me even more is poor coaching and no fire from the team.  It's pathetic.

When the Patriots take a beating(rarely ever do), what is their response? They usually come out the following week and absolutely lay a whupping on their next opponent.

The Bengals were absolutely humiliated last Sunday against a Cowboy team who was missing many of their starters on both sides of the field. Are they going to come out and show that this trend is ending and beat the Patriots, or will they follow the Marvin Lewis path and get their asses kicked two weeks in a row looking lost like a deer in the middle of the road with the headlights on them?


Here's my longtime Bengal feeling on which team will show up this coming Sunday:
