BK Cincy Connection Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 [quote name='bengaldee' post='269639' date='May 18 2006, 07:28 AM']I want us to punish KC for what they did to us last year.Then shut Cleveland fans up about them being a playoff contender.Hell the players they signed have a golden buckeye card.[/quote] Hells Yeah!, I think that KC game is huge for many reasons: 1.) Avenge the loss (more like a beatdown) the Bengals suffered the last regular season game of 05. 2.) KC finshed out 05 with the top rated offense (rather quietly) so it will be the Bengals chance to show off their new and improved D. 3.) LJ simply is one of the hottest players in the league, only surpassed by Carson himself. It would be a great opportunity for Sam to debut his stripes by spearheading the effort to keep LJ under 100 yards rushing for the day. 4.) KC in most circles would probably be much favored to win this game. It would be plain old fun in week 1 to shut everybody's friggin trap. 5.) Takes away a lot of the ammo of the sportswriters who still believe we are not ready to make a run at the big dance. Beating KC in KC over the past several yrs has taken on the aura of impossibility. They have a new head coach who is a great motivator, their own aspirations (or delusions) of greatness-so beating them this day would send a message to them, the AFC North, the AFC and the NFL that the Bengals are part of the elite fabric of this league...
