mani85 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Why is it that nobody gives this team credit particularly on defense. How many times yesterday did they say "Boy, Joe Flacco is not playing well today," giving no credit to the Bengals defense. I have been as critical as can be when it comes to the Bengals and their loss to New England, but damn, you gotta give credit where credit is do.

Let me tell yah, it is a lot better in Bengal-land than it is in Dallas... We won. Appreciate it and trust that what ills there are will be remedied, or at least schemed around.

And we won a divisional game against a good opponent? I'm not going to speak for Vol here, but the whining this week is as bad as it was after the loss last week. I'm not going to argue that the complaints and concern aren't justified, but I'm not going to let s shitty offensive performance against a really good defense ruin my mood - especially when "MY" defense played lights out. And for the record, I don't care what other fans are feeling (except for the Ravens fans this week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My thing is, there is ALWAYS going to be something in every game you can complain about, but why? I would much rather enjoy 11 imperfect games won as opposed losing a game. (Which if you've been a Bengals fan as long as most of us have you would understand) Chances are you have been one as long as the majority. The year they went to the SB with Boomer as the QB there were a lot of bad games towards the end, but the team still competed and almost won a title (32 bleeping seconds). Enjoy the win, and look forward to the next week. We as fans can't control how they win. But if they do win let's support them instead of critique them, I'm sure they (the Bengals) know they have a lot of work to do.... I'm happy!

Jamie_B Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Its still early and they have time to get Carson and his targets in rhythm but anyone that thinks if we play like that on O all year that were going to do much needs to take the blinders off. That said, like I said its still early and every target in the passing game other than Chad needs time to work with Carson. What I'm concerned about is the running game, that needs to pick up.

Can't win the Superbowl without making playoffs. Can't make playoffs without winning games. With the current system in place the best route for making playoffs is winning your division which gaurantees at least 1 home playoff game. Thus, winning a game over a division opponent = happy time. Not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the Stealers are the best team in the conference (I think/hope he meant to say "division") and that the Rats are a playoff team, too. He said the Rats' loss could be attributed to the fact that they were coming off a Monday night game and that it was their second straight on the road. No mention of the Bengals at all, other than the fact that they were the Rats' opponent yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Super Bowl is no team's God given right and if every season in our history is an abject failure because we didn't win the rings, well...
