Congrats to the Bengals for making the playoffs, more than I can say for the Bears. They should be even better next season.

I would wait to see what their schedule looks like and who their head coach is. Should they be better? Yes. Would a different head coach help more? Yes. :-)

Take Lovie Smith.....PLEASE! :-)
[Reply]

He's won more playoff games in less seasons than Marvin Lewis, 3 to 0. Lovie is 14 games over .500, Marvin is 8 games under. :-)

He is yours! :-)

If I were a Bengal fan, I wouldn't want him either, but Mike Brown is dumb enough to hire anyone. :-)

Sorry about the Bengals loss, guys. I have to say I was real impressed with their play today up till the wheels fell off. They had some game, for sure. Being a good ball club is new to them, I'm looking forward to next year. It'll be nice to see some really good Divisional ball when they line up with the Steelers and Ravens next year. :-)
I know you guys don't think much of Mike Brown, but turning Carson Palmer into two big draft picks is a big deal. Pretty genius if you ask me, even if it happened by mistake.
If he uses those picks well, the Bengals are finally gonna be back. I'm looking forward to it. :-)

I've poked around and I really can't find anything definitive and I was hoping one of the Bengal loyalists could help me out. Why did the Bengals trade Keith Rivers for a 5th round pick? Did they just grow weary from paying him to be on the trainers table all the time? There's no denying the man's talent (he was consistently thought of the best linebacker on a USC squad composed of himself/Rey Maualuga/Brian Cushing/Clay Matthews III) but you can't contribute if you're always hurt. Didn't know if it went beyond his health or not..

Now watch, he'll play 16 games for the Giants next season and be a pro-bowler (if there is such a thing).

He was just decent at his position, nothing special. Sure he would get some tackles, but he just wasn't a game changer and didn't make huge plays.

First game is tonight! Bengals = Super Bowl! :-)
[Reply]

Ravens are looking good against the Bengals.:-)
[Reply]

They are getting it together now. Looking better. Hope they pull out the win!
[Reply]

Offense is definitely looking better now.
[Reply]

You know what I'm liking? Looks like the D has gotten better at wrapping up when tackling. Its refreshing to see.
[Reply]

That was a HORRIBLE pass interference call.
[Reply]

Well, that was ugly. Ravens have some awesome defense. Ray Lewis looks like he is still in his prime. Ed Reed... ugh.
[Reply]

The defense was good, but the Ravens offense looked phenomenal.:-)
[Reply]

Yeah, Flacco was spot on with his throws.
[Reply]

Who-Dey!!!!!! Huge win over the Steelers :-)
[Reply]

It was a good win, but with all due respect, the Steelers suck. The first real test is next weekend when the Packers come calling. Dalton looked off, made some real bad throws. :-)
