Duke Nukem Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I thought we should find a positive note on the forum and discuss, reminisce, and get all nostalgic about the past. During the Lewis era, what has been your personal favorite game? For me it is Kansas City in 03. That game had it all, and I was in attendance. The Bengals came out with a suprisingly great game plan, shut down the dangerous Dante Hall, and beat the undefeated Chiefs. It was the defining game of Marvin's tenure, and it removed the "laughingstock of the NFL" tagline that this team was stuck in for ages. So what's yours?

akiliMVP Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 The Ravens game in 04 when Palmer brought us back in the 4th quarter to win. Also the Vikings game in 05 was fun, complete and total domination on our part. Probably the best game I have seen this era Bengals play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDingleDangle Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think I gotta go with the KC game with the Ravens comeback a very close second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt SO hopeless toward the end of the game, and then BAM we had our savior at QB. I must have watched that 4th quarter 15 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do that in the 4th quarter against a great defense... that was Carson's " coming out" party. That one convinced me that the Bengals really had something at QB.

Le Tigre Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 All of the above. I'll also have fond memories of the first MNF game in a zillion years against Denver. And the Opener on MNF this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 The Baltimore comeback is up there with the best. I really liked the pass the Schobel at Ketchup Palace as well. That rocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember after that game my brother in law calling me saying that we finally got over the hump, which at the time we did. The top of the hump has turned out to be a lot bigger than I think any of us expected, but it sure as hell beats '02! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschooler Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 '03 Chiefs game, the '04 comeback against the Ravens, the '04 shoot-out with the Browns and the '05 game at Pissburgh have all been my favorites so far . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 For me, there were two back to back. The '03 Stealers game (where Kitna threw a last second touchdown to Schoebel for the win), and the very next week to beat the Chiefs. That was one thing about Marvin Lewis that year... he made that team (with less talent than the current team) believe they could beat anyone.

Phatcat Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 All the forementioned games were certainly great, but the one that jumped to my mind first was the '05 Detroit game. Not because it was a stellar performance against a great team, but because we clinched a playoff spot (and the division) for the first time in an eternity.

Randle P McMurphy Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 The 2003 Chiefs game. Knocking off the undefeated Chiefs. The 2004 Ratbirds game. Obvious reasons. The Sunday night game against the Dolphins in 2004. My brother-in-law is a part time photographer for the Dolphins (takes pics during their home games) and got the wife and I tix to see the game. We were seated next to Jason Taylor's mom and niece so that was pretty cool. Razzed her a little bit but wasnt a dick. Actually a really close game. I think my wife took a pic of me with Jason's mom and niece. I'll have to look for it sometime, put it on disk and post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaverHunter Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 The 2006 last game of the Preseason against the Colts. We beat them 20-3 to go undefeated and win the Preseason Superbowl. Ahhhh those were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesnt sound positive to me and one could argue that there was too much talent not available in both 06 & 07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 03, prior to the Chiefs game we were still the laughingstock on the NFL, and not really expected to give the Chiefs much of a fight. But we came out with a great game plan, and shut them down.

Second game back after being overseas for a few years. Explaining that they're not saying BOO but actually screaming RUDI, which does sort of sound like a boo if you're not familiar. To date and 16 games later, I have only been at one loss. I sat in those 50 yard line 5 rows up seats next to Scharm (Cardinals?). Still a great view of the players (but not the play) and their antics on the sidelines (TJ nutshotted CJ for spitting water at him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whodey1971 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 In Marvin's tenure....I have to go with the '07 season opener... Monday Night against the Ravens. Reasons..... [list] [*]It was the first time in my lifetime that I have seen the Bengals defense play with that level of intensity (yes...that includes the Superbowl years) [*]Rowdy stadium, season opener, MNF, season full of hope, etc [*]Seemed to wash away the ill feeling of the '06 season [*]All was right in Bengaldom [/list] What happened between Monday night and 6 days later in Cleveland...I'll never know.
