Bengals vs Steelers After thoughts 2#

(Hooiser reminded me on another thread)

Gotta give some love to trent he has been playing great...6th round raw CB most questioned if he would make the team now looks to be a very solid nickle corner.

[cHaD711Johnson]

Not only did we win, we beat them at their own game. That has to hurt.

This meant the most to me.

Palmer on B. Scott: 'He's a special player, he's going to be a special player and he showed his complexity'

Hey how 'bout some props for Kaz representin'?

Sore losers.

i loved the way we came in to the last drive and just ran the football. just a great site to see, beat the steelers with their own game. then the defense, hell of a game they went out and showed they are the top defense in this division. brandon johnson, is this guy our best linebacker? all he's done including last season is make plays. he can do it all coverage, tackling, passrushing. should he remain the starter? i like rivers but johnson is becomimg a force he is just every where making plays.

[Esiason#7]

I loooove this defense we have. They are freakin' tough!

They're more than tough. They're our ticket to the post season!

Im not sayin the offense is bad because there not, but they have to get it going again though. They have not scored a TD since the first quarter of the Ravens game so its been awhile. So i hope they find it again, cant expect the defense to win them all, so here is to finding the offense before the Raiders game.

[HoosierCat]

For those tracking possible wild card competitors, Denver lost to DC.

[BlainThePain]

I wish duus would show up.

F the wild card. I want the North. Sick of hearing about the wildcard.

volcom, from where I sit, that's a misplaced complaint. I don't think the offense is remotely lost. It did what it had to today, seured the ball, didn't make the big mistake, moved enough field to get some points. Give the nature of what that game was, that's precisely what it had to do first.

[UK Bengal]

just watched the highlights with the radio comentators and at the end the stealer one goes " and the stealers lose the the bengals in an upset" WTF!!!!!!

helooo u dumb homer s**thead we sweep you and are top of the north how is that an upset!!!!

True dat - but it still helps, because I'd rather be the #3 division winner than #4, if it comes to it. That way we host whatever 9-7 slag slips into the playoffs rather than the top WC, which is usually better than at least 1 div winner.

And bear in mind, the Donkeys have the tiebreaker over us.

Though I'm sure will want to see the likely #1 WC again after today.

Well the odds were against us. Every site had listed use as the underdogs. So it was an upset. and how upset are the Steelers and their fans now? hehe...

[BengalszoneBilly]

Every site had listed use as the underdogs.

ESPN went 0-6 picking against us. Cincinnati made 'em all look like punks.

One other thing:

Special teams coverage and returns ate the Steelers' lunch all day. Bengals did a superlative job covering Logan and keeping them from big momentum-chaning returns by and large.

And the return game, in addition to the obvious big play, was chewing up chunks of real estate all day, and almost popped a few more.

Huge.

And for any still denigrating the Bengals' win up in Lambeau, check out what GB is doing to Dallas at the moment. Shutout into the fourth quarter, the Cowboys have been.

At this point I'd take the Bengals against any team in the NFL!

So I'm listening to Football Night in America here and I didn't realize this:

If Indy beats NE tonight, the Bengals (for the moment, obviously) move into the No. 2 seed/1st round bye slot in the AFC.

Wow.

[BengalsMan3203]

Some final numbers on Bengals D: held Ben Roethlisberger to 174 yards on 40 throws and Rashard Mendenhall to 36 yards on 13 carries

That's some real domination there!

Figured that out earlier.

Makes me a Colts fan for the evening.

yup...The best we can hope for for seeding is the #2 spot, unless the Colts collapse, and that usually waits until the postseason. But it's alright. I don't mind playing Indy in their dome. It's NE in the heart of winter that I'd like to avoid.
