essexjohnson Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 The injuries suck last night sucked, but We are 6-3 in first place. 4-3 surely wins division at 10-6 if we have to lose these guys better now than with a game or 2 left in season. This team will fight every week. Top seeds cruising at the end of the year don't usually go too deep in playoffs. It gives the young guys battle tested experience. We should get are guys rehabbed by the beginning of next season. You can bash Marvin all you want, but have never seen him lose a locker room. You can bash Dalton all you want, but the kid is a fighter. Hawkins back will win us at least one game somewhere. More home than away games left. This still could be a special season. I foresee a lot of nail bitters. That holding call against Gresh last night still has me fuming terrible game changing call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 It will likely come down to the two games against Baltimore. Sweep the Ravens and they are all but in. Split the games and they hold serve. Lose both and they are in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Find a consistant running game and I will feel much better. Im so tired of this year Dalton throwing it 50 times a game, he is not made for that. If they don't find a running game and use it, they wont go far at all.

ArmyBengal Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 There is plenty of silver lining.Now is the time to see EXACTLY what we have in Brandon Thompson and something tells me we will be happy.Devon Still won't be more than another week and will get time as well.The injury bug has hit one side of the field and the problems we saw last night on offense aren't the norm.I still don't it will take this team much to make the playoffs.If the "next man up" theory turns up roses, our playoff push might not be lost.7 games remaining with a bye week thrown in there.Turn that frown upside down bitches.

ArmyBengal Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 i love optimismWhat's another option ??I will admit to not wanting to watch anything football related at the moment, but that will change come next Sunday.I compare it to the draft.I might be looking forward to the draft (as usual) and then see them draft players I don't care for.I get angry, but then go in search of reasons why they selected the player they did.Before you know it, you are feeling optimistic about the chances of that player making a big impact.Shawn Williams was that guy for me this draft.In regards to the optimism for the remainder of the season, i'd simply rather not be depressed.

volcom69 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 So true Army, before the game I was watching or listening to all things football, and after the game I have not watched, or listened to anything football lol. It amazing how much love the bengals get when they are winning, but as soon as they lose, the media makes them out to be the worst team, I'm just not in the mood to listen.

ArmyBengal Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I woke up before the kids this morning, which never happens, and when flipping through the channels NFL live was about to come on.Normally I would sit and watch for the whole hour just to catch the 30 seconds of Bengal related talk. Not today.I watched HGTV instead.I'm pretty sure my man card could be in jeopardy with that comment, but I just didn't want to hear about how the Bengals are going to struggle without Geno.

I like to watch where they flip houses and stuff on that .Same here I'm just not in the mood right now, will see where I'm at next weekend. Ill watch the games tomorrow, but that's about it.

Scottishbengal Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 I'll watch the games tomorrow, but that's about it.Surely the Baltimore @ Cleveland game is the game to watch - purely from a Bengals-related--interest point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volcom69 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Steelers just lost there defense, wow over 600 yards put up on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Beat the ravens this weekend, come back and beat the Browns, and I think they pretty much got this divisionThis year has fallen perfect for the bengals to win this division, I just hope they don't screw this up. Hopefully the injuries are not going to slow them down to much. Hopefully Dalton has some more great games in him, and dosnt fall into a funk like he did last year.

ArmyBengal Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I think we are like the #4 seed now.NE, KC, Denver, and then us I believe.A lot can change between here and the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 At this point just win the division. My thing is after that loss, and losing one of if not there best player I wanna see how they come out in there next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Ray Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 As a Bengal fan, you gotta love the Browns beating the Ravens. It's all pretty much in our own hands now. Win the next two weeks and we cruise into the bye. If we don't pile up some wins vs the AFC Central then we're not very good. I think we're very good this yr. I think we're good enough to whether these injuries. We'll find out next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexjohnson Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Browns are tough without Weeden not a good draft pick, how weird(cool) would it be to see Baltimore and Sqeelerz at the bottom, as long as we are on top of Browns of course. We will have some tape on Campbell a luxury we didn't have with Hoyer If Colts loose tonight things are looking even better no telling how this year will play out? We still have it in our grasp Let's take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I think we are like the #4 seed now.NE, KC, Denver, and then us I believe.A lot can change between here and the end of the season.Between KC and Denver, only one of them will take a first thru 4th seed. The other will be a 5 (or far less likely, a 6). It will really suck being 4th seed this year - you will almost certainly play one of these two teamsIndy will almost certainly take one of the top 4 seedsCurses upon the Stealers and the Texans for not helping us this weekend with the whole seeding thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nonsense and an attitude that gave you the impression that he was going to do well when he had his shot.I'm really happy to see him doing well with his shot. When Peko's time is up, it should make things less of a concern for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
