Colts, Chargers or Ravens

How is it that the Chargers can be on their 4th of 5th center of the season and hardly miss a beat but we haven't been able to find a serviceable center in ten years?

Because we're the Bengals, damnit.

Also, the Chargers don't really run the ball. Any idiot can pass block.

I'm glad they won.

but I'm realistic about the future.

just because I disagree and acknowledge that we're not going to beat the colts doesn't mean I'm not glad we won.

This.

There's no damned room for realism now. For the next two weeks I'm a fanatic. After it all crashes to earth there's plenty of time to be realistic and logical. For now, it's "DAMN THE TORPEDOS, FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!!!!!"

I'm right there with you. I'm tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Monday night the Bengals beat the defending AFC champs by two scores, overcame two mistakes that usually snowball into a lopsided loss and did it all without AJ Green contributing so much as a single catch. Two weeks in a row they've run the ball well, played excellent defense and special teams (save one kickoff coverage) and put up 30+ points, all with their QB playing, according to these guys, poorly. I know there's never a guarantee with this team, but they've played their two best games the past two weeks and seem to have found a formula that works for them.

Also, I don't put much stock in their performance against the colts earlier this year. The colts have been unimpressive at best recently, seem to be trending in the wrong direction, and don't have the benefit of ten days off should they be our opponent next weekend. I also don't think that you can write off this week as a loss, they lost the last game because they beat themselves. The Steelers secondary is terrible and the Bengals torched them with the aforementioned shitty QB last time. I'm in no way guaranteeing a win, just saying that I fully expect a better showing and wouldn't be even remotely surprised if they did.

Plus, everyone here is prepared to do their part. Alf is going to gamble away his inheritance, I'm not going to piss, Dan is promising we're going to make the opposing team look like world beaters. What else do we need? I'm surprised Vegas isn't moving the line as I type this

 

[alf8478]

I don't know if I can gamble this wekk, now that we clinched a playoff birth I might have to save it for next week

 

[DanBengalfan]

I will need to drink some more coffee to be that optimistic. I generally lay off the stuff when I'm away from work.

 

[BKBroiler9000]

Way I see, just enjoy it for a week. I mean, we are Bengals fans. We never have anything to cheer about. Ever.

We all know this team will lose in a couple weeks. Why not enjoy the W and save the bitching for January when we lose at home to San Diego again?

 

[DanBengalfan]

I'll be positive again in January, due to the coffee.

other than posting which QB that we're going to make look good, of course. we all have our jobs around here.

I'm drunk......but I echo your sentiments,

Wait to see if Denver loses. If they lose, Bengals have a shot at the #2 seed, and you must gamble.

If they win, then, save your money.

 

[cincygrad]

I've been drunk for more than a week. I'm prepared to believe anything.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Alex Smith out of the KC/SD game with a lacerated spleen....

Things looking up for SD...would be nice to see them knock the rat-birds out of the playoffs.....

 

[DanBengalfan]

yea, looks fairly certain that SD will get in, so we can forget about Ravens and Texans.

so I guess we get banged up next week fighting for home field advantage

Doesn't matter this team is gonna do alot more then just a playoff win.
