Bleeds Orange Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Unless I made a mistake in my quick and dirty research, here are the home teams records in SNF games since NBC began broadcasting in 2006... 2013: 11-5 2012: 12-4 2011: 11-6 2010: 9-7 2009: 8-8 2008: 9-7 2007: 7-9 2006: 6-9 The Stealers are 8-9 overall in NBC SNF games, 2-4 at home and 6-5 on the road. The Bengals are 0-3 overall in NBC SNF games, 0-1 at home and 0-2 on the road. Two of the Bengals three SNF games have been against Pittsburgh (will now be 3 of 4), with the Stealers winning 24-10 at Pittsburgh in 2007 and 24-17 in Cincinnati in 2012. After sweeping the sorry bastards in the 2009 season, the Bengals lost five straight in the series. They will now be going for their third straight win in the series, something they have not done since going 6-0 in the 1988, 1989, and 1990 seasons. For once there might be more Bengals fans in Pitt than Pitt fans. That place looked empty today. Field level seats can be had on Seat Geek for $48 in the end zones and $80 on the sidelines. Sideline uppers are at $33. If I lived in Ohio I'd be tempted to make that four-hour trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Chris Mortensen @mortreport2m Bengals relieved that CB Terrence Newman will miss only 1-to-3 weeks with MCL sprain, per sources. Kevin Goheen @FSOhio_KGoheen1m #Bengals S George Iloka still under NFL concussion protocol. Possibility he could be off the protocol on Wednesday.

alleycat Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Time to take an extended look at our first round CB from last year. I'm starting to change my mind on this. Or at least my thinking. I wanted a 1st round CB, but Dre and Ghee, despite not playing much, have stayed healthy, and the ageless vets seem to be staying young... Well, I haven't given it up yet, bc it's just such a premium position, but I AM really starting to lean toward bringing in a new DE with the 1st round pick. We need to improve the pass rush.

JC Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Good news on T. Should give him a little rest before the playoffs. Although the faster he makes it back, the better. Dre is going to have quite a matchup this week. Brown has been playing very well lately. Going to have to step his game up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the best DT in the NFL next year will help that. Dre has been playing well in limited snaps as of late, but I still have CB at the top of my list. For now. Dre and Ghee could change that over the next 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre has been playing well in limited snaps as of late, but I still have CB at the top of my list. For now. Dre and Ghee could change that over the next 2 months. I guess I worry that the best DT in the NFL had an ACL tear. Yes, he has serious power but even that power is predicated on his quickness. I take heart in knowing that the technology has advanced by light years, but still, it's no given that we'll have what we did. The biggest issue is that I'm just not seeing the speed rushes around the edge get there -- pretty much ever. Now, the Joker LB pass-rush specialist (which has a TON of talent this year) is one way to kill two birds with one stone, but given that keeping MJ is not terribly likely, it's a position I'm going to have at the tippy top of my scouting list.

Rumble In the Jungle Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Newman is out 1-3 weeks. But it is good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The PatternMaster Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 With Geathers likely done and MJ probably not returning I can see the Bengals drafting a DE in the first round, either that or a CB because Newman isn't getting any younger and Hall will be coming back from another serious injury so we will need to restock the cupboards at both positions. Besides in today's NFL you can never have enough pass rushers or pass defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 We'd be crazy not to kick the tires on Troy if he indeed does get cut. His durability is shaky, but he showed yesterday that theres still some gas left in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eva4ben-gal Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I hope to God they bring back MJ They will. MJ will take less money to stay with a team he loves. We'd be crazy not to kick the tires on Troy if he indeed does get cut. His durability is shaky, but he showed yesterday that theres still some gas left in the tank. He would be pretty effective in a Crocker type role I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coup000 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 If Zimmer is here there is no way we look at someone like Troy. He is a freelancer and this defense is predicated on everyone doing their jobs. We go for the sound non-flashy types, not the guys who get an Int one play and find themselves way out of position on the next 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure what you call freelancing is designed deception by Lebeau. Troy is rarely out of position and his teammates know where he'll be on each play.
