membengal Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Jeebus but I cannot stress enough how confident the local talking heads are in Baltimore and their callers. Beyond confident.It is damn near unlistenable.I'm listening too...and it is nauseating. Anita Marks: "Last Bengals game was a fluke, they should be favored by more than 3 points."On the Bruce Cunningham show, him and the other guy on there did make a valid point in separating the Bengals from the Broncos...calling the Broncos "soft".Were you listening at around 12:25 pm? When a listener called "Robert" called and concern trolled Preston and Cunningham about Palmer's 7-3 record and 87.9 career passer rating against the Ravens? And wondered how the Ravens were going to handle the unbalanced line? And that the Xs and Os didn't seem all that favorable for B'more?Because that was me.Nice. What'd they say?Cunningham agreed. Preston went turtle. It was Preston's "same old Bengals" comment that got my dander up enough to make the call. He said he thought people were assuming "same old Bengals". I called and prefaced the above comments by asking just what Preston, or anyone, meant by "same old Bengals". I asked, rehtorically, was he talking about way back to 2002. Because if he was talking about last year, I reminded them that Palmer missed the last 12 games, and then transitioned into Palmer's record against Baltimore when he's played.I didn't get to hear much of the show after that.

derekshank Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 The last 6 times the Bengals have been Underdogs they are 6-0 ATS.Wow - almost makes me want to put some money down on this.But I dont want to jinx anything.I put money on the Bengals for the first time in my life against Chicago... and the offense exploded with 4 TDs in 4 posessions. You bet your sweet ass I'm putting money on them again!I'm betting on the Bengals against the Steelers, regardless of what the line is!

membengal Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Initial impressions from the post-game on 105.7 the fan?Admitted the division is gone.Admitted they got their ass kicked at both line of scrimmages for the second Bengals game in a row. Seems to be a dawning realization that the Bengals really are the better team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Lamenting the fact that the Bengals ran the ball.And, again, this quote:The reality is the Bengals are a better football team than the Ravens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Oh, and the first caller had the balls to seriously complain on the officiating. Altho his heart wasn't as into it as usual.1 for 10 on third downs for the Ravens was the response from the announcers, and closed down the whining.

membengal Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 One of the announcers on 105.7 just said that NOW he thinks the Bengals are for real. Apparently it took a second win over the Ravens to bring that realization. Good lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Not sure, may be Zinno.I have heard one caller half-heartedly blame the refs. Now one caller think the Ravens didn't take the Bengals seriously and that's why they lost. Good lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingwilly Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hats off to Geathers, Peko, Tank, Sims, Johnson and Frostee.The Ravens were 1 for 10 on 3rd down conversions. It starts up front.All sacks today were coverage sacks, so second tip o the hat to the secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I really never understood the talk of "same old Bengals". That's been over since 2003. Last season's failure was easily explained by factors irrelevant to the franchise's history of losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
