sparky151 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hey, it's not a bad gig to have an NFL paycheck and only have to win a couple of meaningless late season games to convince the owner that success is just around the corner. It's a tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Somewhere along the line didn't we lost to the Jets in the final game play them the next week in the playoffs and get humiliated again? A Marvelous feat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be upset if it saved Taylor's job but I don't think the team was going to make a change even if we finished 2-13-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kept a guy around that was literally spitting at hospital workers. Getting fired from the Bengals organization takes an extraordinary effort. Taylor's job is to be a lightning rod for the media, I'm not sure the team's record really enters into it. 1 hour ago, sparky151 said: That was the game where only Cedric Benson showed up. Didn't we have a regular season game against them a week or two earlier? IDK if I've seen a less enthusiastic showing in a postseason game. More like preseason energy from what I can remember. Had to be something going on behind the scenes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Yeah, we lost 37-0 to the Jets in the regular season finale in 2009 after we'd clinched the AFCN. Marvin rested some guys and said the score didn't matter, the playoff game was what was important. Then we went out and lost again the following week 24-14 to Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez. Benson had a big game for Bengals (169 yards rushing) but the rest of the team didn't show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson had a big game for Bengals (169 yards rushing) but the rest of the team didn't show up. This is the reason I will always praise Benson for his time here. The only other player that even looked like they were interested that day was Peko. Both of them will have my eternal respect (and may Benson RIP). Benson didn't just have a big game - he played like a fuggin *warrior* and tried to carry the team kicking and screaming toward a win. For me it was probably the most frustrating loss of the Marvin era because we were so favoured and just looked so pathetic (the Pittsburgh playoff game, in contrast, wasn't about frustration - that was PTSD, a shock to the system, one for which I had no expectations of a win in the first place).

saphead Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Oh yeah playoffs 2009, when Chad Johnson showed up in a jacked up yellow Ford F-600 truck, a weird prototype helmet with some sort of shock absorber face mask, and his jersey had a different fabric and number font than the rest of the team. What a clown show that was. Oh, and our soft QB had a torpedo heater shoved up his bitch ass during every timeout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would they respect him when they knew they could hide behind MB? Think that's why some guys were mysteriously benched for so long; he couldn't cut them, but he didn't have to play them.
