Arkansas Bengal Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 We play better on the road this year anyway. Texans are going DOWN!WHO DEY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I hate going in like this, yea they are going to the playoffs i never would have thought it, but im still pissed!!! This team could have gotten to the playoffs with a win, take care of business and they cant, and at home non the less. So yea there going into the playoffs, but in the worst way. I dont know what it is with a Marvin Lewis coached team in big games, but its about time they do something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpeldios Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hard to be excited after todays game but I will take it. Congratulations Bengals, I picked you to win 2 games. Happy to be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I wouldn't dare guarantee a win over Houston, but there is definitely reason to feel good. Would you rather face Delhomme or Yates?I know I've seen 9-7 teams win playoff games many times, and not all of them were simply hot.

membengal Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I don't give a s**t how they got there, just that they got there. I honestly don't understand how anyone can be disappointed with the manner of a playoff appearance. Given this franchise's history, and the expectations for this season going in, the playoffs are a frickin' delight and I am thrilled.

COB Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Playoffs are playoffs. You can win your last nine games to get in, you can lose your last 8 games and get in. And everything in between is possible. I'll enthusiastically take it. 3 teams from the AFC North, toughest division in football and second toughest isn't even close.

Today we all knew it was about stopping Rice and what did he do ran all over this defense. When is a Marvin team going to win these games. If they win next week, all will be forgotten LOL LOL.

AGrizzlyBaer Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Wow who would have thought that a rookie quarterback coming of no offseason practice could make the playoffs. Kudos to this team. I am happy to see the bengal's back into the playoffs. Who Dey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Figured we'd draw the earliest game. That should give us another leg up if Delhomme has to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekshank Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Trent Dilfer pointed out that the Bengals have a very good shot at winning this game... but that even if they don't, this team is incredibly young and (Dalton especially) will benefit immeasurably from the playoff experience.

UK Bengal Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Seriously IMO rice didn't run all over us he broke 2 big runs and that was it take that away and he was lucky to make 80 yards. Ray malaluga fails to plug his gap twice and that's what happened. Also the refs were in the ravens pocket again but I am so overjoyed we are in the playoffs never in my wildest dreams did I expect this no matter what happens from now on I am proud of this team.

BengalszoneBilly Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Here's a quote from CBSSportsline:The Bengals inability to put together a complete game continues to doom them as they finish the regular season 1-7 against teams with winning records. However, at the end of the day, none of what happened at Paul Brown Stadium mattered as Cincinnati made the playoffs anyway. Regardless of how, for the youngest team in the AFC that opened the year with zero expectations to be playing in the postseason overshadows any disappointment on Sunday.We need a win over Houston next Saturday, and I believe we can get that one.
