Sea Ray Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 After the way we played Week 1, especially on offense, I really didn't feel that they could win those next two games. Glad I was wrong.I don't think anyone thought they'd beat GB and Pitt, Ron. That's what makes it so amazing that this team came back from such a flukey play. I've now "justified" that game in my mind by thinking that we wouldn't have won those next four games if not for the fluke loss. Think back two years ago and we open with an ugly win vs the Ravens. We then followed that up with a high scoring loss to the Browns and then lost a close one to Seattle. If we'd have won the Denver game who knows if they'd have had the fire to win these close games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Bresnahan was the worst defensive coordinator this team has had since the 90's. That guy had us playing prevent defense from start to finish.

walzav29 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well I said to sit tight, but I'll tell you. I did not expect 4-1 with that schedule coming up. I would love to see them win this week. If they could sweep Balt and Pitt, that would put them in panic mode. Gotta focus on Houston.

Exacta Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 TJ the only troll is your boy Laverneus "Non Factor" Coles. Don't be sick because the man you call Cheech has chonged the Ravens secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Ray Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I think it's interesting to compare and contrast our Bengals and the Buffalo Bills. The Bills had a crushing defeat on Opening Day too and they let it ruin their season. They still haven't recovered. Glad to see we're past this sort of thing because Bengal teams of the past would have certainly handled it like the Bills have this year. Both teams opened the season with similar play yet now one is in 1st place and the other is looking at the 2010 draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hey, show me someone calling for 4-1 after those first 5 games... I won't hold my breath.Seriously though, such is life and I will simply say I was wrong and now am very happy that wasn't the case. Hopefully, the second part of my post there isn't worst case or we lose the rest of the games. However, I DID say that wouldn't be the case.Would that be considered half assed ??I think I said 5-2 but my post history won't go back that far >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well, let's see, going back and looking at what I wrote in the the pinned "make your call" thread:Broncos - Rusty Palmer + new o-line, backs, TEs = loss by offensive miscues. 0-1Well, there was plenty of rust, but it ended up being a loss by fluke.at Packers - O shows improvement, D steps up = snapped Lambeau loss streak. 1-1Yep, I actually said they would win at Lambeau. Yay, me.Steelers - O gets smothered, D wears down = the usual L at PBS. 1-2Bengals do the not-difficult job of making me look dumb.at Browns - division game, throw out record, Bengals choke = 1-3I was almost right. Happy I wasn't.at Ravens - O finally revving up, need win to save season = 2-3Yep, I actually said they would win in Baltimore, too.And for this week?Texans - Shootout at the PBS corral. Bengals score last. 3-3Correct that to 5-1. Time for the O to come untracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
