MJ too I think.Always liked MJ and he got s bad rap playing for bucs but Geno is type of player that makes everyone else look better who would thought Peko would get two sacks in a game...Ps,just dawned on me I don't have update my sig(fuck you iPhone) because it has MJ in it anymore just the year XD all about 2015 baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I heard Michael Irvin yesterday speaking about the Bengals and when someone asked if we should wait until the post season to judge the Bengals, he said people need to stop that nonsense. He said that analysts get paid to analyze the football being played right now and that Andy Dalton and the Bengals are playing some of the best football he's seen from any team in the league. I don't get how people are just dismissing the regular season and waiting to bash them once the post season comes rolling along.I always thought it was a GOOD thing to be considered a contender each and every year !?!?Don't they still have to make it to the playoffs ?? Most have the Bengals as the #2 or #3 team in the AFC.God that sucks... :frustrated: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Here's a sentence you'll rarely see written: Michael Irvin is right. As for why analysts forget that when talking about Cincinnati, I can come up with lots of reasons, but at the end of the day I suspect it's just because it's Cincinnati. There's never been much of an incentive to talk about the Bengals or take them seriously. Financially it's a small market that at times has even been a drain on the league; competitively its best days came when Ronald Reagan was president. The team's recent performance in prime time and playoff games hasn't helped, but it's only reinforced a longstanding impression. Nothing will change until the Bengals shove a Lombardi down the media's collective throats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Holy crap, it doesn't end with the team. NFL.com writer Gregg Rosenthal was doing and quarter-post ranking of NFL QB's, and guess who moved up from #22 to #5? That's right, our own Andy Dalton! Here's a snippet from the article: For the first two years of this column, I usually had a tier called "After Dalton." Andy was supposed to be the prime meridian of NFL quarterbacks. If your quarterback was ranked below him, you needed a new starting quarterback. His play this season is potentially destroying Wesseling's "Dalton Scale." Hue Jackson's confidence has rubbed off; Dalton don't care. He's dialing up deep plays on the run on command. He's responding to poor plays with highlight reel tosses. I don't expect him to finish the season ranked so high, but there is no arguing that he's played like a top-10 quarterback thus far. He's ranked fifth in ProFootballFocus' grades, second in ESPN's QBR and second in Football Outsiders' DVOA. Hell has frozen over. You can read the rest here while I go put on a jacket. Brrrrr. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000552279/article/qb-index-quarterseason-rankings-132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earendil Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Yeah, I got the hair. Problem is it's gone 50 shades of grey on me. I'm getting there, fortunately I have blonde highlights that hide most of the grey. But in the right light, you can see quite a bit there. And I figure by this time next year, my beard will be almost completely grey (when I let it grow out that is). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 The only common denominator I see between all we greying fellows is we've been Bengals fans for most of our lives. If that won't turn you grey, nothing will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
