That game was complete domination from start to finish. Sam Wyche wanted to beat Jerry Glanville so bad that he kicked (and recovered) an onside kick when the Bengals were up by like 40 points. The run and shoot offense of Warren Moon was completely shutdown. To further rub in the score, Wyche called for a FG when the Bengals were up 58-7, which resulted in the final 61-7 score.

That's my vote too. 28-0 in the first quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 My favorite moment of that game was when Ira Hillary recovered an onsides kick deep in Oilers territory when the Bengals were already well aheadIra Hillary might be best known as the star receiver of the short lived Cincinnati Rockers arena league team(edit: I see this has already been mentioned, but did not see it when I wrote the above two sentences) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwilly Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 The win in Pitt in 2005 was very impressive.This win was a good, team effort that resulted in total domination.Of the two, Pitt might be more impressive as it was on the road and they went on to win the SB that year.This game spoke more to the evolution of this team, emerging from several performances where they prevailed but still contained the mental errors, drops, penalties, etc. that can otherwise contribute to a loss.Today, we saw them "graduate" into a real team that executed nearly flawlessly and absolutely obliterated what was considered a talented, physical team.I give the nod to todays game as most impressive win, as it was the most complete, well-executed, neck-on-the-throat style win they could showcase every week if they wanted. I want them to. I hope they like how this feels and decide this is better than how they felt last week after being embarrassed by Houston.

SupaBran Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 It was a complete game that shows this team, when focus and angry, can bury teams!You guys are mentioning that onside back in the day, do you remember David Jones should've recovered a pooched kickoff yesterday?

gregstephens Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Impressive game vs. the Oilers, but you're off on this one.Let's go back to the frozen tundra of Riverfront Stadium, January, 1982. In temperatures with wind chills of minus fiddy, the Bengals defeat the offensive powerhouse of Dan Fouts' Super-Chargers in the AFC championship, thus propelling us to our first SB appearance ever.Greatest. Game. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game. Ever.That was a crazy game. And a crazy advantage for Cincy. Even if you want to forget that the Chargers are used to California weather, they had just won a game in Miami that was the most humid game in NFL history. Going from most humid ever to coldest ever is pretty intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjakq27 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I recently heard a talking head saying how the Chargers were the best team that year and if it weren't for the weather they would have won the Super Bowl. Didn't Ken Anderson win the MVP that year? Didn't they beat the Chargers 40-17 in San Diego that year? Didn't they have a 1000 yard receiver (Collinsworth) and 1000 yard rusher (P. Johnson) that year? Didn't they have the best TE in the league (Ross)? Not to short-change the Chargers but I think the Bengals were favored to win the AFC heading into the playoffs that year./>http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cin/1981.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Williams retired after he 89' season, and the game he gave his halftime speech was during the 61-7 game we had already mentioned, not the playoff game. Also, Jerry Glanville was coaching the Falcons in 1990. In the 41-14 playoff game the Oilers were coached by Jack Pardee (I believe that was his name).
