***Week 8 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Jets***

[*pally*]

I wouldn't be surprised to see an onsides kick to start the 2nd half. Hopefully Darrin will have his special teams guys on the lookout for that

It’s embarrassing to be outplayed by this team in general.

Lions in the express lane to 0-8.

need to start 3rd Q with a methodical scoring drive....
need to change the narrative on this game....
reminds me of other games in a way where they look bad in 1st half and then wake up (hopefully today).

The bills are tied 3-3 with the Dolphins.

White has been throwing some perfect passes and looks better than Wilson. It's not like they lost some great QB and are way worse. They lost a rookie who was playing bad and may have their best QB playing this game.

Ida know.  The 2011 Giants beat the Patriots in the SB after getting swept by Rex Grossman and the R-skins during the season.  The more you know.

Makes sense, but still it happens alot to them..

Yes, they do. These games happen all the time. A single game doesn't mean anything. People love to moan and groan but volatility is the name of the game within the NFL.

Well there is a difference between being contenders and being Bengal teams that are contenders.  If they lose this game they will implode

Who said I'm happy with their performance? Just because I'm pointing out that with all that went wrong we still have the lead and that it's not a given that we're going to lose the game doesn't mean I'm happy with their performance. But, fact remains we have the lead and get the ball back to start the 2nd half, you know, the half where we usually dominate.

A team that, up until today, has been absolutely demolished, including 54-13 by a middling Patriots team just a week ago.

So, the Titans aren't contenders either?

[BengalFanInNJ]

Seriously, the Jets have really themselves to blame for being down. The two interceptions were not White's fault and the fumble happened on a big gain. Other than this score now, there is nothing that I have seen so far that tells me the Jets will not win this game going away. They have been the better team so far. Hope the Bengals come out in the second half and start showing some damn emotion.

Welcome to the volatility of the NFL. The Bengals absolutely THRASHED the Ravens, one of the better teams in the NFL and lost to the Bears, one of the worst. It happens.

So all the people heaping praise (including a LOT in this forum) on the Bengals and saying they were maybe the best team in the AFC after beating the Ravens were all blowing smoke?

The Tomlin Steelers always seem to lose at least 1 game to a crap team.

They lost by 1 score to Carolina, Atlanta, and beat the Titans. Do you know what you're talking about?
