Bye Week Game Thread

[HoosierCat]

Cool. Born and raised in Dayton/Huber Heights. Was 15 when the Bengals came to town in 1968 and dad I decided to switch from Browns to Bengals fans! Sure wish they had the same medical technology they have today back in 1968. Would have loved to see what Greg Cook could have done!

Absolutely. Cook was an amazing talent. Probably the biggest what-if in team history, though turning down NO's entire draft for Akili is a close second...

Terrible clock management by Belichick. Pats look completely overmatched tonight. Weather isn't helping. Weirdly, Denver is winning with its run game. Please take note Bengals.

Pats loss combined with Colts loss today, helps us out!

If the Pats lose I think the Bengals move to the second seed and a first round bye, at least for the moment. So yeah it will help.

IF the Bengals can win the turnover war, keep the players they have healthy, I don't see any team they can't beat.

(That's a big red IF though!)

I think Indy has a better conference record, so they stay ahead of us.

I could be wrong.

[HoosierCat]

Pats finally wake up. 24-7.

After we beat them at home, we will have the advantage!!

[HoosierCat]

Fukkin Denver sucks. 24-14.

[HoosierCat]

Denver falling apart. 24-21.

[HoosierCat]

Peyton Manning sucks!

[HoosierCat]

28-24 Pats. Unreal.

[gregcook68]

I'm going out on a limb here, because I've never liked Brady's divaness, but after watching all the great QBs over the last 50 years, no doubt in my mind that Brady is the best hands down! Why?

Because he's been able to win EVEN WITHOUT the offensive weapons, as proven this year.

[HoosierCat]

All tied up at 31. Manning dodged a bullet on that drive.

[HoosierCat]

Denver sucks.

[ArmyBengal]

I stayed up to watch that game and after it was 24-14 I just had a feeling the Pats were going to win the game.

When the Broncos tied it up at 31, I thought they might have a shot in overtime, but they fell short.

Thanks alot Broncos. Way to blow a 24 point lead.

[HoosierCat]

No doubt, army. Epic fail last night by the Broncos. And a waste of an incredible night by Moreno, who ended up leaving the locker room on crutches (but not before helping me crush sky in ff!)

With the Denver loss it's tough now to see a path to a first round bye for the Bengals. Thanks to Arizona they have a shot at the third seed with a win over Indy. Looks like that game and the two remaining division games will tell the tale.

[TJJackson]

hey, at least we get to enjoy the fact that ol' Chad wants to come back

I would have liked to finish the right way. Maybe Mike (Brown) would sign me next year

so there's that

[ArmyBengal]

It's been long enough for me to not really give Chad that much thought anymore.

I would prefer him not showing up at the team hotel when they are on the road, but that's not an every day occurance.

I still bemoan what could have been with him here in Cincinnati had he not lost his mind.

He was great in the day, but left the game as a punchline to a bad joke.

I bet he would have liked to finish the right way.

Not happening though.

[HoosierCat]

I wouldn't mind signing Chad to one of those one day, retire-a-Bengal deals.

[ArmyBengal]

In regards to the #2 seed.

Anything is possible.

I was more worried about the Bengals closing strong than anything else.

I would have no objection to that either.

I don't think that was the "right way" he intended, but it's something.

[HoosierCat]

In regards to the #2 seed.

Anything is possible.

I was more worried about the Bengals closing strong than anything else.

I'm still worried about them closing strong. I think they need to go a minimum of 3-2 over the last five.

[ArmyBengal]

Well, they appear to be getting healthy again in thinking both Maualuga and Still should be ready.

I don't expect light out play from either, but the depth sure doesn't hurt at this point of the season.

Yeah, i'm hoping for the strong closing as well.

Seeing as how the rest of the AFC sucks at this point, the Steelers are still very much alive.

Unreal the Titans are currently the #6 seed with a losing record.

[HoosierCat]

If you need a chuckle, here's Denver fans leaping from the bandwagon at 9-2.

:lmao:
