Where is the praise for the prime time win?

[Beaker]

One of the doubters biggest contentions is that the Bengals cannot win in prime time. Where is the praise for proving that sentiment to be false?

Big win and even bigger in PrimeTime, but I'm over small things like that because we're a better team than that.

I'll give Marvin and the team credit, but good teams want more than small things like that.

I would say that I hope it helps our confidence in big games, but I don't think we needed any help.

Just a minor milestone.

In the absence of Bengal football such as it is, I watched part of the Browns game...rooting for the Skins. My big concern is why can't the Bengals generate a running game like both of these teams seem to have. The Browns RB (Crowell) makes Hill look like a statue with his feet tied together. I don't think the Bengals can stop him or WR Terrelle Pryor #11.

BENGALS NEED TO SWEEP THE BROWNS AND THE REST OF THE AFCN TO HAVE ANY CHANCE THIS YEAR!!!

Considering we are 0-1 in the division already, that can't happen...

Because over the last 3 or 4 years, the Bengals have won in prime time, with wins over even the Stoolers. Some of us don't waller in the past.

Thursday night game.

I started a thread right after the win of Bengals going to 2-2....and I gave them praise for beating a not very good Dolphins but a win is a win.  I said 2-2 not a bad start considering the schedule.  Bengals are not 0-4 or 1-3 as some teams....Getting to 2-2 was a nice win.

Because they typically win 1 of every 3...and this was the first one of the year?

Also, they win about half the time on Thurs night.

Am happy to see it personally

It was a great prime time win. We gave up a long TD but other than that completely dominated all aspects of the game. A couple more TD's would've been nice, but there is not much more you can ask for in a game where the Bengals manhandled their opponent as much as they did.

I'm upset we dont look as good as last year also, but it is what it is. I'm not a coach or a player. All I can do is vent about it like the rest of us fans.

[Whacked]

We beat Miami, at home, with a bunch of FG's

Yayyyy - ummmm not.

Glad for the win. Still not overly impressed.

[Yojimbo]

Because I'm not praising shit until they win a playoff game. Nothing they do until that time matters anymore.

No praise for winning games that you're supposed to win. It's called doing your job..

Agreed.  I'm a bit hesitant to claim us prime-time masters after last year when we managed to win our first prime-time game over the Browns and then drop the 4 remaining prime-time games of the season.

But if they had lost, these posters would be lamenting how we suck in prime time.

This. I gave them props for the prime-time W, but we still have a few night games left. If they sweep the night games or even come close, people will notice I'm sure.

This too. Happy with the W, but they shouldn't get a parade when they win games they should win. The expectations should be higher than that.

The 0-4 Browns ? Evidently stopping Crowell and Pryor is not a requirement to beat the Browns. Teams will start to game plan for these two then what ?
