HoTbOy Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 Last year we got one night game against Jacksonville, after winning the AFCN this year how many more night games do you think we will get... Quote
Stripes Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Semi related news... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2386175 I think we'll get two Monday nighters and then one or two more Sunday/Thursday night games. Quote
BigBenBlows Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I hope we'll get at the very least 2. I would like to see more than that but I don't know if they will give it to us. Quote
MacD BengalFan Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I hate to be a kill-joy, but, they are the Bengals!! They had not won the division since Earth was discovered to be round. This is how the networks will look at it. Expect teams that did not make the playoffs the last 3 seasons to get more primetime games then the Bengals. Heck, the Raiders and Chargers are on the first Monday night game of the season and neither made the playoffs last season. So I would expect the Bengals to maybe, and I do mean maybe, make one prime time appearance. Any more then that would be a pleasent surprise. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Since we WON our division and made the playoffs, I believe we will get 1 monday nighter, and 1 sunday nighter Quote
LB51 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I hate to be a skeptic, but I agree with MacD. We seem to get screwed every year, so I've come to expect it Quote
WhoDey42 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I'm pretty sure the networks realize that these aren't the Bengals of the past. I think we'll get at least one Monday and one Sunday night game. You have to remember, networks and the average football fan loves offense. The Bengals definatly have the offense. I would expect that if we do get some primetime games, they will be from the middle to the end of the season when Carson will most likely be back. We'll get some primetime games. I would be extremely shocked if we don't get at least 2. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Marvin doesn't like the fact that prime time games throw you out of your rythm, so I'm hoping for none, but will be happy with one Sunday and Monday each !!! WHODEY !!! Quote
Spor_tees Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Well the NFL came out with the new schedule and the Bengals won't be playing Pi$$burgh in the opening Thursday night game. That reward goes to Miami and their new QB...who just happens to be coming off of an injury and a love boat cruise. Quote

Better that than watching the Palmerless (possibly) Bengals repeat the playoff game to start the '06 season. Quote
kentjett Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 We had one last year and two the previous year so I expect two at the very least. Quote
turningpoint Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Every division winner pretty mcuh gets 2 National Night games.IMO i could careless which one since NBC does SNF now. Quote
Kazkal Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 min of 2 possible 3 I'd say bengals vs Steelers Bengals vs broncos and probbley bengals vs colts Quote
Mckracken Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I'm Gonna say 2 games Bengals vs ColtsAnd Bengals vs Falcons You know they love to put Micheal Vick on primetime as much as possible!!A side note the bengals were the favorite to get the opening thursday night game against the steelers but because of palmer's questionable return the nfl decided to grant the overrated dolphins the game!One web site reports that the bengals first game of the season will probably be at the chiefs!! Let's hope it's not like last year's game!Go Bengals!! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Regardless of if the Dolphins are overrated or not, I will be their biggest fan for those 4 quarters !!! Hope Culpepper has a HUGE game. God knows we will need their loss after we blow it in KC, if there is no Palmer.WHODEY !!! Quote

God knows we will need their loss after we blow it in KC, if there is no Palmer.WHODEY !!! Miami has a nice underrated corps of receivers... If they address the offensive line in the draft or FA and protect Daunte, then I really could see him shredding Pitt's overrated secondary... But that's probably wishful thinking. Quote
turningpoint Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Um I'm picking MIA to win the AFC east they went 9-7 last year...people sure as f**k didn;t think we were overated for going 8-8.They also now have a probowl QBm they can only get better. Quote
ChadJohnson-85 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 The Bengals first two preseason games will be at home and we will v.s. the Redskins and the Packers. One on NBC against the Redskins on sunday night and we will v.s. the Packers on ESPN on Monday night. Quote
CBin2k7 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Interesting, preseason games on National TV are boring, but I will take any opportunity I can get to watch the Bengals. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Hell yeah !!! I like the preseason games because you get a chance to see the guys play that normally don't. The rookies get out there and show their stuff (assuming they don't hold out) and you get a quick fix of the starters. I've been home to catch preseason games the last two years. I still go back and watch the OHiSuckAlote hit on the Colts backup QB last preseason. He knocked the living SH*T out of Sorgi !!! To bad it was the only thing he did all year !!! Anyway, good things !!!WHODEY !!! Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 I still go back and watch the OHiSuckAlote hit on the Colts backup QB last preseason. He knocked the living SH*T out of Sorgi !!! To bad it was the only thing he did all year !!! Anyway, good things !!!WHODEY !!!ROFL I remember that hit. I had such hope and expectations for Ohellyouranbyme in pre-season. He looked like such a great pickup, and that hit on Sorgi was a stunner. And then reality came crashing in.... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 I was at that game and the crowd let out a collective "OHHHHHHH" !!!It was a HUGE hit !!! Oh well, on to the draft !!!WHODEY !!! Quote
