Revenge game. The Bengals are lighting any one up, but the Texans are downright slumping. Their Superbowl was against us, and they won by 1 point in a fluke comeback. Well, it would be a fluke comeback if it happened against anyone other than Cincy.
We couldn't have hand picked a better first round match up.
We're in, so I choose to be happy and confident until someone puts us out, whether that's next week, or not at all.....not going to be analytical about this just enjoying the ride.....
you're honestly worried about Jake Delhomme? The guy is terrible. Couldnt even cut it for the Browns. Honestly, this is about as winnable of a playoff game setup as the Bengals could've hoped for. I think they get their first playoff 'w' since...well a long time ago (80's?)
I'm more worried about Johnson, Owen Daniels and their RB's than some scrub QB. Plus, they're not exactly going into the playoffs with momentum (neither are we, but the BEngals shoudl benefit from basically getting playoff experience against the Ravens)
I think we lose and lose by a good margin. Rice ran roughshod over us. No reason to not expect the same from Foster and Tate. Flacco is no better than Yates and Yates has better receivers than the Ravens. The Texans also have a much better secondary than the Ravens.
I think the Bengals biggest liability is Marvin "Big Game" Lewis. I think that everything is aligning for them, though. The Texans are a beatable opponent. If they were playing the Pats I'd be predicting a blowout but the Texans..no they can win that.
