jjakq27 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Is this like our third year in a row finishing the regular season against the Ravens?nope, 4th year Yeah heaven forbid that the Steelers would ever play the Ravens the last game of the year. WTF.It'd be interesting to see the last game parings of each division based off of "reputation", etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I actually think Green Bay is a good matchup for us. If GB has one weakness, it's pass protection. That bodes well for us.It's also a home game.I'm optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Last year was the first year in like forever since we beat the Bills.I was at that game and it was a good one. The Bills are another team moving in a different direction for 2013.Hard to say how things turn out at this point, but I expect the Bengals to have to good year.

HoosierCat Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Last year was the first year in like forever since we beat the Bills.Yup, first win over Buffalo since the 1988 Super Bowl season. 24 frickin' years. In between we got:1989: lost 24-71991: lost 35-16 (Jim Kelly throws for 392 yards, 5 TDs. James Lofton has 8 catches, 220 yards, 2 TDs.)1996: lost 37-17 (Erik Wilhelm attempts 9 passes. 3 are completed to Bengals. 2 are completed to Bills, including a pick 6)1998: lost 33-202002: lost 27-9 (mercifully ending the nightmare 2-14 campaign)2004: lost 33-17 (includes Kitna pick 6)2005: lost 37-27 (with 7:18 to play, our "defense" allows a 68 yard drive that eats up 6:17 and gives Bills a 30-27 lead. Carson throws pick 6 two plays later.)2007: lost 33-21 (Bengals leading 14-13 at half but can't stop Marshawn Lynch (153 yards))2010: lost 49-31 (Bengals up 27-7 in the second and 30-14 at the half, gave up 35 points in second half including Benson fumble-6 and Palmer INT at 3rd and goal on the Buffalo 5.)

ArmyBengal Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Picking a nit here, but you mean 2011, not last year?Last year, year before that, whatever. The last time they played, the Bengals won, but that was the first time in forever.Geeeeesh TJ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 It's also a home game.I like the way we matchup with Green Bay too. The quote above is perhaps the biggest reason I [irrationally] have little faith in the Bengals winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishbengal Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I won't look so hardcore if I can't get tickets though !! Still, at least Pittsburgh is the MNF game so it'll be on TV in a bar somewhere .... and it's Oktoberfest weekend for Green Bay!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Bengals to hold two joint practices with the Falcons in Atlanta before the preseason opener. Going to be open to the public if you're in the area... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 As a fan of the draft, I love the preaseason.At no other time in the season will you see so many of those players actually playing.Not only that, how many times during the actual season can you take your and kids to a game and it not cost close to a car payment ??I'll be targeting that Titans game.Bump...I said I was targeting the Titans game and people think you are crazy to actually buy preseason tickets, but tonight I got 4 upper level seats.The grand total for all 4 tickets for the game ?? Yep, $18.00. That's 4 tickets for less than it costs to park your car.Come the second half, we'll walk down to the lower level because people leave and enjoy the rest of the game.For that price, we can leave early if the kids want and there's no pressure.I will worry about the regular season tickets a little later.

I took a look at what it would cost just lil ol me to go into Chicago for the opener. Long story short: fk that. Preseason is definitely the way to go, army.

ArmyBengal Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 The comments are pretty amusing. Some reasonable and thought out, some not so much.Don't get me wrong, I can afford to go to games, but simply refuse to pay that price."IF" I can find them cheaper through Ebay, Stubhub, etc. I will go. Full price ?? Nope.Sadly, there use to be a day when I couldn't wait to buy season tickets, but now I won't.Most of that is the cost of the experience, but some of it is also that it's not as friendly a place to take your kids to as it use to be.I won't complain so much about the tax payers assisting with the funding. I wasn't here when the decision was made and voted on and even now, there are stadium tax rebates for some Hamilton County residents. That rebate system can also be looked at to be flawed, but it is what it is and not the overwhelming, life changing burden some make it out to be. I'm not discounting the discontent completely mind you.Yeah, preseason is a SUPER CHEAP way to catch some football at the stadium with the family.Being a person who enjoys the draft and seeing the young players actually play, I enjoy the preseason.If I wasn't that person and had to pay for those tickets as a part of the season ticket package, I might not be as happy.
