Game Thread: Bengals Patriots SNF thread

[TxHeat]

Today is going to be fun watching all the pundits and nfl media guys act like they didn't all say the patriots were done all last week

you just know the talking heads are trying to figure out how to back track from stuffing Brady and the Pats into a coffin.

I was thinking about taking a vacation day from work last night. So glad I didn't. I probably would have thrown my tv out the window.

I'm sure they will say they didn't really mean all the shit they were flinging at Foxboro.

sorry bengals,.......we needed this ~(W)~ a lot more = trust mee,........you's came-off a ~bye~ and walked right into a hornets-nest = brought on by the ~media~.,......you'll rebound and use this game as a launching-pad just like we [hopefully] did,.....I'm sure we'll see you's down the road [post/season?].

Cincy has a nice schedule coming up, 4 home games in the next 5. You guys will be fine. Maybe if the media hadn't created such a shit storm in Foxboro, outcome might have been different or closer anyway.

How fucking typical. Get your shit together. You're the better team.

Not yet.

A good solid ass whoopin by New England last night. They needed a game like this for sure and they played pretty well on both sides of the ball. They still made some mistakes, left some points out there and took another dozen penalties so there is much work left to be done.

Chris Berman is already calling us the Bungals and going "whoop.. whoop"
our power rating just went from first to worst.

the media is a fickle little girl.

media is ridiculous. they all buried the Pats last week.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Berman is trash.

 

[DanBengalfan]

yea.

I am exaggerating... I don't have espn so I don't actually know what they are saying, but I figure it's something along those lines.

anyhow.

we are still favored to beat Carolina by 7 (is Carolina that bad?)
NE is favored to win in Buffalo by 3 (this might be a good bet now that NE is done dicking around?)

Its funny how every prime time game has been a blowout, but its only the Bengals who aren't ready for primetime.

If we'd just win one biggie it would help.

Our last three losses included two embarrassments on SNF and a playoff laugher against SD.

NE typically struggles in Buffalo, much like they do in Miami. No matter how good or bad either is. So not sure that is a good bet. Most games against Buffalo seem to be decided by 3points or fewer.

hmm...

well, thank you for that.

so basically if NE is on the road in the playoffs then Denver wins the AFC, and vice versa.

division games are always tough for n.england [usually],...each team knows each others strengths-n-weaknesses a lil' better than say last nights game.,......we usually split the series with the other AFC/East teams......but we've beaten buff. a lot more in their house.

but with a 3 point spread in favor of the Pats would you take them up there?
