★★★Official 2013 Cincy Bengals Inseason Thread (1 Viewer)

Awesome game. My voice is shot. I really couldn't believe how many Packers fans there were. They showed up big. Glad to escape with a win. The Defense was lights out all day. Offense on the other hand... ooofffff. Way too many turnovers.

 
And then Pacman gets arrested again.

Disorderly conduct.

Basically his buddy got pulled over at 2:30 am (Pac was in the passenger seat) and his friend refused a field sobriety test.

Even though it was apparently Pac's birthday, nothing good ever happens at 2:30 am and this is a guy who should know the drill is "yes officer, no officer" or say nothing.

:doh:

Not what we need when we are already shorthanded at CB :no:

Weird side note, I'm the first to post something about it and that's over an hour after PFT posted it on their site. Either the Shark Pool is losing its fastball or the team's overall image has turned the corner a bit.

:hot: about this though - bad timing for such a selfish move.

Yeah talking back may have been being in the car and breathing, I can believe that based on the reputation. That said, nothing good happens after 2:30am - he really should no better by now.

Checked out Sunday's game, and congrats. Love Dalton. Cinci is a team I always try watch now. Good luck with the season!

I make the trip a time or two each season. Lot D and Longworth Hall lot are my favorite spots for tailgating. Have a great time. Wish I was going ! Who Dey!

haha ya, I was talking about in Detroit, Rush. I'm a Cincy guy going to Detroit for Bengals/Lions.

 
Is Marvin Jones/Eifert/Gio enough to get us out of the first round of the playoffs this year?

If you watched the Bengals in the playoffs the last two years it was clear that they needed more weapons around Green in order to remain effective against the best teams in the league. Things are beginning to look really promising the last couple of weeks. Is the offense peaking too early in the season? What do you other Bengals fans think?

 
They aren't peaking too early - just growing. Good to see. Will be interesting to see what things are like with Hawkins back in the mix.

Tonight's a big opportunity.

-QG

 
Want to vomit for Geno. Our team is incredibly deep which helps a ton, but you don't just replace your best player.

 
Key injuries at each level of the defense. The offense is going to have to score some points or it will be a quick post season yet again.

 
we'll see what a magician Zimmer really is now. What a massive loss. The team showed a lot of heart in this game being down 17-3 and losing Geno. My expectations are definitely set a bit lower now for sure. Very hard to see conference contention without Geno unless Thompson (and Hunt too for that matter) grow up really fast.

-QG

 
The Geno injury hurts, but I think Leon Hall being out will have a bigger impact on the defense because we are so deep on the D-Line that we can rotate players in to fill the void a little better with guys like Dunlap, Johnson, Thompson, Gilberry, Peko, Margus and Still. Sucks to lose 2 play makers on a great defense and team looking to get to the super bowl.

Mixed feelings about that Denver loss. It puts the #1 seed in play, but the odds of that are bad obviously. If we win out, it will be nice to have another route to a bye, but it requires Texans or Raiders winning.

The flip side is that if NE doesn't lose again, we are looking squarely at playing Denver now instead of NE in the 2/3 game. This is not a good trade for us.

 
We needed the Browns to hold on last week against NE, they totally fell apart at the end, plus that bs PI call in the end zone. We should be in the #2 slot right now. With that being said though, we still need to handle our own business and win out.

Bengals remaining games: @ Steelers, vs Vikings, vs Ravens

Patriots remaining games: @ Dolphins, @ Ravens, vs Bills

Hopefully with Gronk being out for the Patriots, they can't move the ball as effective and lose 2 of the next 3. I could see the Bengals going 2-1 in that stretch. (hopefully, at least that)

If Rivers can beat them there, so can Andy. That's the way I feel about it. The Patriots/Ravens game will be good one way or the other - either we get a clean shot at that bye or we'll be able to clinch the division Sunday night.

One thing we've loved to complain about is the scouting of this team, but man are they unearthing gems so often now - look at all the guys that have stepped up to replace those injured. To feel this good about the team with Geno gone says it all.

-QG

 
Not that it's all that likely to happen, but if you plug "home team wins every game" into the espn playoff machine, the Bengals get the #1 seed with an 11-5 record :D

Bengal fans, how do you feel about the future of Sanu and Jones? Both have shown flashes at times, but neither has taken over the WR2 spot on a consistent basis. From a fantasy perspective, are either of them strong dynasty prospects? I am starting to think that with Green as the strong WR1 and with Dalton at QB, this team may not be able to support a viable fantasy WR2.

I liken the situation to that in New England - I just don't know how many footballs there are to go around with them (and don't forget Hawkins in the mix too). You have Green-Jones-Sanu-Hawkins-Gresham-Eifert-Bernard as targets. If Dalton completes 26 passes and 8 go to Green, that's only an average of 3 each for the rest of those guys. It's not so much about Dalton as it is about how they want to run the offense and how they gameplan week to week.

I think if you're holding these guys for fantasy you want them out of Cincy ASAP. They're both good players and capable of more, but I don't think they have any motivation to give them more in Cincy.

As far as fantasy goes with Jones and Sanu. I think Jones has a better chance of being relevant year after year, with his ability to run the deep routes. He would be a solid compliment to a #1 receiver on any team. Sanu on the other hand, I don't think he would be very relevant when it comes to fantasy in years to come. I think he will have great games and doughnuts, but I think the great games will be few and far between.

 
Really rooting hard a Detroit win tonight. Not a small possibility that the insane scenario that the Bengals will face a "win and you're the #2 seed, lose and you're out" game in week 17.

Go Lions!

-QG

 
The more I think about it, the more I'm concerned we have to win our last 2 games.

Miami has garbage teams Buffalo and the Jets for their last 2.

Baltimore does have two tough games in Detroit and the Patriots.

If Baltimore wins tonight, I'll be pulling for the Pats next week, even though it pretty much guarantees we could do no better than #3.

As a Baltimore fan, I arrived at the same conclusion. In a 10-6 pile-up among Baltimore, Cincy, Indy, and New England, the Bengals don't do very well in a lot of the tie-breakers. Throw Miami in there, and then the tie-breakers are better for Cincy and worst for the Patriots. I think the 2 biggest hurdles to this kind of epic tie are that the Patriots won't lose at home in Week 17 to the Bills, and the Ravens (who are 1-5 on the road this season) won't win tonight at Detroit.

Both our game and Miami are at 1 Sunday. If the Bengals win and either Ravens lose tonight or Miami loses at 1, we are free to root on the Ravens. I think you're right though. If we get no help between now and then OR lose to the Vikings, we have to root Patriots.

 
Division champs! :pickle:

Having a home playoff game is also huge as we are a completely different team at home.

Now if we can just get New England to lose this week and we beat the Ravens, hello #2 seed!

WooHoo!!!

New England playing the Bills in NE. We will need a miracle for them to pull that off.

 
There's 7 different teams that we can play in our first playoff game (we can't play the Broncos first).

If we're the #2 we can play the Patriots, Colts, or Chiefs first.

If we're the #3 we can play the Dolphins, Ravens, Chargers, or Steelers.

And of course if we're the #4 we get the Chiefs.

Quite the Range of possibilities. Can't count on the Jags beating the Colts so we probably need to win to get the #3. At least the Bills showed something against the Dolphins but winning at New England (when they can get the #1 seed) is a whole different matter.

Obviously I'd love the Colts or Patriots to be our first opponent. That would mean we got the #2 seed :) And we beat them both in our building which is a little boost as well. Obviously given the pedigree of the Patriots and Brady I'd prefer to see the Colts in this scenario but in the round-of-8 there's no chump teams no matter how you slice it.

Not quite as scared of facing the Chiefs as I was earlier (they've won only 2 of their last 6 now) and their only win against a playoff team is against whoever wins the Dallas/Philly game. If they were called the Bengals they'd be getting beaten over the head with this fact.

For obvious reasons I wouldn't want it to be the Steelers. The obvious reason is that I hate them and wan't them to lose as many games as humanly possible. That said we beat them in what was effectively a playoff game last year and I think it'd be a much different scenario in the Jungle.

With San Diego it's a little weird. We beat them at their place a few weeks ago in pretty standard fashion. If they make the playoffs it will be having won 5 of their last 6 games (the one loss to us) including 2 wins over Kansas City and a win at Denver. While the perception is that San Diego isn't a cold-weather team, Rivers actually has an excellent record in games with a starting temperature under 40 degrees. They'd be tough.

The Dolphins are so strange. They are very much a rise to the occasion team - they've beaten us, Indy, and New England but have managed to lose to Buffalo twice and Tampa Bay. Getting them in our place in the cold weather with a chip on our shoulder feeling wronged in the last result, though, is a pretty good pot.

As for the Ravens, if we end up playing them it is most likely going to be in a great spot, actually. If they beat us to get into the playoffs, the only way we'll have to play them is if Jacksonville beats the Colts. Not likely. The other way that we can play them is if we beat them and Pittsburgh, San Diego, and Miami ALL lose in which case they will come into the playoffs having just lost to us and having been thumped by the Patriots the week before. Obviously another tough opponent but if we see them it'll probably be in a situation where we are carrying momentum.

After that egg the Ravens laid yesterday, I wouldn't be too wired about your last paragraph happening. Flacco's hurt and so is Rice.

 
Getting the bye would have been huge. Going to NE and DEN, as long as they can beat SD at home(they should), is quite the daunting task.

 
Heading into the playoffs winning 6 of the last 7 and 4-0 against teams in the playoffs.....I feel great about our chances. San Diego at home should be a win, New England is certainly beatable (without Gronk) in New England. Hell, the Bills gave them a run yesterday. The AFC Championship will be rough if we make it there.

WHO DEY!

 
We'll get past the Chargers and I honestly think we can beat the Patriots, even on their own turf.

Need some luck....maybe KC trips up Denver somehow, or manning gets hurt. But I think of the remaining 6, Bengals can give the broncos the best run for the money.

 
Man it's such a long drive or a pricy flight so I don't think so this time around :( - doesn't help that we might be getting snow here in NJ.

They murdered us on the record versus other playoff teams in previous years. Somehow I doubt it'll be mentioned this time around.

Chargers will be a tough out - they are playing very well. Rivers actually fares pretty well in cold-weather historically. That said, I think our boys have the mettle to get it done.

Who Dey!

Not that anyone asked, but my take-away from this year's Bengals' team is that they are tougher than previous squads. As friggin horrid as the team from Baltimore is, when they tied it at 17 in the 3rd I thought to myself "Ravens are still toast". Previous Cincy teams would've folded then; this one didn't and annihilated the Ravens from that point on.

Having studs on D - even if they do stupid #### - pays off in the long run as long as there is also leadership there.

Ravens fan

 
Can't go this Sunday, but I hear they might struggle to sell out. That would be a shame if that was the case. Does the blackout rules still apply to the playoffs. I would have to think they are going to sell out with the buzz that is going around in the city.

I'm glad it is going to be cold Sunday as well as a 1pm eastern kickoff time for San Diego having to adjust to that along with normal home field advantages.

 
Should be a great matchup Sunday fellas. Numbers from the 12/1 matchup were virtually even. I can guarantee that Gates will not fumble twice in this one.

Low expectations out here in SD, but we do feel like we've got a punchers chance.

LETS GET IT ON!!!
