Saturday I'll read the Hobson articles and convince myself that just like the packers, steelers, panthers we are actually a great team who if it was not for some outrageous bad luck we should in fact be 9-0.
I'll also read the Rex Ryan fluff pieces where he talks about him and marv playing golf and how much he learnt from him and how we are the model of a stable , winning franchise and that #18 scares the living daylights out of him and we are a really disciplined, well coached team.....this will inflate my fragile optimism to borderline arrogance that we are in fact an unholy alliance of the 'Greatest show on turf' and the '85 Bears.
Sunday I will have Belgian beer, the game pass will be on...all will be good in Bengal world.
- Erikson receives the kick off deep in his end zone...he decides to run it anyway and gets to the 16 yard line. I gently curse at the laptop
- Bengals open in star wars formation. Dalton quick pass to Green. 1 yard gain.
- Bengals have Hill lined up alongside Dalton, no FB. Low snap from Bodine. Dalton hands off. Hill has Boling in his lap before he starts his run. Patiently lets things develop and picks up a nice no-gain. I mildly curse at the laptop.
- 3rd down. Bengals slow to get out of the huddle. Bills moving all over the place. Dalton tried to change the play at LOS, delay of game.
- 3rd & longer. Bills blitz. The Bengals OL collapses like a supernova creating a temporary black hole in the Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area...time and light cannot escape, neither does Dalton.
- 4th down - Huber shanks the punt, Bills call fair catch, Dennard hits him anyway to draw the penalty. I use some top tier curse words to relieve the tension
- Bills first down - Shady McCoy takes the handoff and runs untouched through the right side of the Bengals DL to gain 15 yards. Peko jumps on the tackle pile late breaking Vinny Rey's arm before getting up and rubbing his belly. Burfict shouts at his teammates even though McCoy ran through his gap.
- Some undrafted, practice squad TE for the Bills makes like Kellen Winslow up the seam. He drags Pacman, Iloka, Sean Williams and DreK on his back into the endzone. Pacman shouts at his teammates even through he bust the coverage.
- On the sideline Marvin takes his headphones off and starts clapping furiously ....I throw the beer bottle through the window and scare the kids when i start cursing furiously at the laptop.
Bills win 31-21
I've been saying forever that someone should write Bengal fan fiction. God bless you for stepping into the breach.

Bengals 28
Bills 17
If they somehow manage to beat Buffalo, you won't be alone in your optimism for long.
I'll say 31-10 Buffalo. Just an ugly 2000-type game for us, sans Corey Dillon.
