BengalszoneBilly Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I went with the Jets. I've always liked them since the days of Joe Willy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'd like to get another shot at Orton and the Broncos. I don't want to see the Texans again even though they are without Slaton and Daniels. I can go without watching another playoff game against the Steelers too.

Stripes Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I voted the Jets, as I think they're our best matchup. I'd least like to see Pittsburgh, only because of the difference Roethlisberger can make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlainThePain Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'm dying to see a Bengals/Broncos rematch. The only thing that would worry me would be getting pressure against that talented O-line because Odom wasn't the only person rushing the QB in the first game.

derekshank Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I picked the Jets just because I think the Bengals have the opportunity to be at an advantage playing them back to back weeks.I don't think that they are actually the best matchup for Cincy though. They have the best defense in the NFL and are the only team that runs the ball more than Cincy. If Sanchez for sone reason doesn't throw a lot of interceptions, that game could easily go either way.I actually like the Houston and Denver matchups better than the Jets... but because the Bengals have an opprturnity to see their best game in back to back weeks, Cincy would have a very unique advantage.

johnswahoo Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I chose the Steelers....reason why.....This team can't finish! Yes in the past two weeks they have won close games but they don't have momentum nor do they have a running game. This teams defense is tired. When you pass the ball as much as they do it leaves your defense on the field to play it out and hopefully you try to stop the other team. Over a 16 game season a team can get worn down.Ravens are always tough and unpredictable. Are they going to be the team that S*&^ the bed in Pittsburgh or the team that has played well enough to make the playoffs. I have a feeling that Flacco is about to go nuts and that one game could be in the first round of the playoffs. Houston----I don't want any piece of them. Yes they are missing Daniels and Slaton but what has happened since? ONE PLAYER----ANDRE JOHNSON! This team really is bothersome. Schuab and Johnson are really starting to click on all cylinders and could do damage in the playoffs this year. As a matter of fact before the season started I picked this team to win the AFC South. I was one who felt that Indy was done and personally I still feel that way.Jets---I don't know much about this team. All I know is that they have won some games when I thought they were going to lose. They did beat the Patriots earlier this year but that was early. I will better understand this team after Sunday.Broncos match up well against the Bengals. I hate to say it but they are very much like each other ground and pound with outlets to their WR. Here is the stupid question of the day....if you were to ask any of these teams the same question I wonder how many would say the Bengals. I think you would have at least 3 teams say that.....Pittsburgh, Houston, and the Steelers....I don't think the Broncos want another game against them and after Sunday I don't think the Jets will be in...

Wraith Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I don't want to see Pittsburgh or Baltimore again. I guess that makes me a fraidy-cat but the prospect of beating either of those team 3 times in a season seems to be pretty bleak, I am also not incredibly thrilled about the prospects of playing Houston again since they were the one team to really handle us (we matchup particularly bad against big physical WRs like Andre Johnson). The Jets, and the Broncos would be my choice, since we see the Jets the last week of the season, I guess I would prefer the Broncos, besides we owe them.

If the Bengals win, what have they proven? Nothing that they haven't already proven. If they lose, it undoes the 6-0 domination in the AFC North. I'll pass if I have the option to.

Still with the Bengals having a losing record vs. the rest of the AFC, playing the Ravens doesn't sound that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semiotter Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hey everyone I was just sitting here thinking. Hey "Semi" (I talk to myself a lot") if you had to pick to teams left out of the 8-7 teams who would you like to pick?Wow what a good question. Well first off I wouldn't want the Ravens. We have beaten them twice and I think 3 times would be hard to do. The Texans kicked are ass so I don't want them again. And as for the Steelers I freaking hate them no way I want them in but I would love to knock there tails out. So I guess I would like to play Denver to show them they got lucky the first time and the Jets even though they have a great running game and defense. Every team left is good so there is no easy teams left as I see it. So there you go Jets an Broncos. Who do you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JungleCat Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Personally I would love another shot to face Denver at home. I think every player on the team would like the same thing. At the same time I would not mind resting the starters this week to allow them to watch how the Jets play and than bring the Jets back to Paul Brown a week later. I would rather see Baltimore again than Pittsburgh, I just feel Palmer has the Ravens number and their offense is not to scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the 3, we go to SD, and I think it is another stomping.NE will beat Baltimore, then beat Indy, setting up NE travelling to us for the Championship.Then, it is a toss-up.

I really think the Dolphins will beat the Steelers. All the Broncos have to do is beat the Chiefs. They do that with us beating the Jets and the Pats losing and there you go.
