vettespd20 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Any one think that we will have any prime time games next year? I think so, even though we will prob not go to the play offs this team has proved its a great team and a fun team to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hottub Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Prime time, meaning MNF or ESPN Sunday Night? I'd say the chances are good - we had one game on each hthis year, and the league seems to be even more respectful of the Bengals this year.I can tell you, the commentators here in NE said (more than once!) after today's game that they expect the Bengals to be the Pat's biggest competition over the coming years, Biggest Competiition? What about the Colts, the Steelers, the Chargers? But that's what they said. And on ESPN some commentator said he now thought that Carson Palmer would e a bigger star then Big Ben in Pittsburgh.If those sentiments continue through the end of the season, expect the Bengals to get some serious exposure...

ShulaSteakhouse Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Palmer sould put up Manning type #'s, unlike Ben. It's up the Bengals to build the defense through the draft and re-sign their offensive stars if at all possible. TJ's playing himself into a nice contract, as is Rudi. They have an offensive dyansty core and should do everything they can to keep it together and protect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Yes no doubt we will be in the PRIME TIME!! But the PRIME TIME I want to see is on Super Bowl Sunday!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsfan15 Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 we will definately be in primetime next year. This team is going in the right direction. I love how Marvin Lewis has turned this franchise around. Even though we lost today, I expect the Jungle to be rockin' next week against the bills. Next year its playoffs for sure. Marvin Lewis was a long awaited gift from God.Who-Dey :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesbrooks21 Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 If I were to guess we will probably playing one at home and one on the road next year. We will definitely be playing in Primetime though count on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsfan2 Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I noticed that they put up the top teams this year .... two of which ... the Steelers and the Patriots we gave as good as we got to for most of the games. Could say that we should have beaten the both of them, but fact is we didn't. We Will next year. What you have to keep in mind is that we're doing it this year with a first year starter at qb and with a supporting cast of rookies and fa's that Lewis has had to collect in rebuilding this team literally from the ground up. You've seen the improvement from week to week. Now there have been some setbacks and everyone should have known there would be. You can't put unreasonable expectations on this team after less than 2 full seasons. We played 2 primetime games this year and won both of them. We've taken on the top defenses every other week and did pretty dam well. This week we threw a scare into the Champs in their own house ( and anyone who says they didn't get their sphincter puckered is a liar ) where they haven't lost in ... How long ???? Yeah ... we're going to have primetime games next year cause the playoffs are always in primetime ...... and a whole bunch of these laffing boys will be watching and laffing out the other side of their faces. :player: :player: :player: :player: :player: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjakq27 Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Yes no doubt we will be in the PRIME TIME!! But the PRIME TIME I want to see is on Super Bowl Sunday!!! I agree. I also hope we rise above the Steve Tasker/Don Criqui duo next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I wouldn't be surprised if we had 3 prime time games next year, two of them at home. The Jungle showed up nicely and the games were good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkendall Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 All depends on if Cincy provided enough ratings to force the elitists to decide to go with the Bengals again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 the only thing that will hurt is is that we are 3rd in our division this year. we will prolly get 2 games again, one early and one late this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubThumper Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 The Bengals will get some prime time action next year -- they should at least. They won both prime time games, they have an explosive offense featuring dynamic receivers and a budding super-star quarterback, they have the story of the Marvin Lewis-led resurgence, they have a stadium that looks reasonably good on TV, and their odd but striking uniforms make for good branding. The Bengals are playing with the best in the league and beating the tier just below them at times. The Patriots game both confirmed what they can do, and showed them what else they need to do to be an elite team. I don't believe we've seen the best of this year's Bengals yet, so they could easily win out the rest of the season - including the Philly game. We'll see about this year, but they're too exciting not to have at least one prime-time appearance - probably two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 There are too many teams that get too much exposure on Monday Night and Sunday Night. Teams like the Ravens, Packers and Cowboys seem to be on every other week. The later two are not very good teams and might not make the playoffs but they have a marquee name and identity.I would like to see the Bengals get one or two games next year and I would also like to see someone new like San Diego get on too. I think after this year they have earned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denverbillsfan Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Unless you come out and have a winning record this year, I would doubt the bengals would get any prime time games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Antonio Bengal Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 We didn't have a winning record last year (8 - 8) and got both a Sunday night and a Monday night game. And we won both of those games, by the way. And the Bengals are becoming a very exciting team on offense (defense needs to catch up) -- exciting offense = better ratings = better chance of getting a prime time game.

jditty47 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 now ur just clueless if u think we wont get any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jungle showed up nicely and the games were good.This is hilarious. We get these two two knucleheads(criqui/Tasker) wrong quote posted fro some reason) doing almost every bills game, and they both live in Buffalo, and we still hate them doing the games. On the Bills board, there is a running thread about our weekly Criqui Rant. Thank goodness not doing this weeks game, however we get them back for our next game . BTW, i hate primetime games.
