HoosierCat Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 Yup. 2-14 here we come! Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 Cards put Dwyer on the reserve/NFI list and cut Chris Rainey from their PS (he was a Steeler until he hit his girlfriend). Props to Arizona for getting out ahead of the mess.I've seen and heard not a few people starting to say that the whole personal conduct policy needs to be scrapped and not replaced. Put it back on the teams and take away the league office excuse. I'm starting to think they're right. Quote

Put it back on the teams and take away the league office excuse. I'm starting to think they're right.I don't know if I'd go that far or not.But, the idea appeals to me in that it would no longer allow teams to hide behind the NFL badge when it comes to discipline. They've gotten a bit of a free pass in that regard. Quote

I mean this is a good team, just way to early to call them #1.I don't disagree with you, but the same could be said of every team. I agree with the notion that, through these two games, the Bengals looked more complete than any team out there. I've no issue with us being rated No. 1, but I also expect that we won't stay there for more than a week or so. Quote
volcom69 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 That's why power ranking this early suck. I agree it's too early to call anyone number 1. So far I love the way Hue runs this offense the question is will it hold up all year, defense looks great will they off towards the end. I think it's a long way to go, but good teams will find a way to win, and will not let things affect them. I'm excited to see where they go. Quote

volcom69 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 Ill be suprised if Harbaugh even wants to be there. After wanting to cut Rice, then being sent out to do that press conference, wow how could he want to work there. Quote

After wanting to cut Rice, then being sent out to do that press conference, wow how could he want to work there.That is just what I was thinking reading this.He has got to be just a little pissed this came back to bite him along with everyone else. But, he could have came out and said what he thought, towing the company line was just an option. Quote

volcom69 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 That's what I was saying earlier Hoosier I'm hoping they don't think all the need to do is show up and they win. I don't think that's what they think, hopefully they just don't listen. A lot of good talk about the bengals, but if we want the bengals to be good then this is what we can expect. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Posted September 22, 2014 I hear ya. That's happened before. I think -- repeat, think -- that this team won't let all the talk go to their heads, but you never know. And yes, if they keep winning there will be more praise and they are going to have to learn to handle that. They've always been at their best in the "underdog" role and they aren't going to be the underdogs very often this year the way they are playing. In fact their Super Bowl odds just dropped to 10/1 today, same as the Saints and behind only Seattle, Denver and NE. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Just stay focused. They have two weeks to prepare to go into Foxboro and beat the Patriots.After that, they have 4 of the next 5 at home.I think it may be early to say they are the best in the league, but they are certainly worthy of the conversation.

Funny that Balti and Atlanta were some peoples picks to go to the SB this season at the beginning of the year and they have only lost to us. Quote
COB Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 The Bengsls just defeated ISIS in northern Syria. Total victory is ours. Quote
Stripes Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 I wouldn't call the Bengals the best quite yet. They'll definitely be #1 on various meaningless power rankings starting tomorrow though, so the hype is definitely underway. I trust guys like Whitworth, Peko, and Geathers to understand they have accomplished nothing so far. I hope the younger core of the roster follows their lead. Quote

I hope the younger core of the roster follows their lead.Couldn't agree with that more.I hope the veterans that have seen this team flirt with success but fail, pound this into the younger guys.Don't believe your own hype until you are holding the Lombardi.

Stripes Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Good bit from Bill Barnwell of Grantland:/>http://grantland.com/the-triangle/nfl-week-3-seahawks-broncos-bengals-backup-quarterbacks/There will be some who write off the Bengals as irrelevant until the team impresses people in the playoffs, which seems ill-advised. The Falcons were a joke until they beat Russell Wilson in the playoffs (which seems pretty impressive right about now) and came within one Harry Douglas slip of making the Super Bowl. The Ravens blew playoff games in all kinds of crazy ways until Joe Flacco got hot one January and Baltimore won it all. You know how the sliding scale works: The Bengals won’t matter until they win a playoff game, and then when they do, they won’t matter until they make the Super Bowl, and then until they win it. If that’s what you want to take out of watching sports, go nuts. Until then, you’ll be missing out on a damn good football team. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Posted September 22, 2014 Well, if you're looking for a Debbie Downer there's always PFF. I saw a tweet earlier today that, according to their grades, the Bengals have the 9th-worst defense in the league.We suck. May as well start up the draft talk... Quote
volcom69 Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Over all defense? What about scoring defense the only thing that really matters? Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Yeah, for all the stat guys out there, Guenther should be looking for a new job.In the real world, most other teams would kill for a defense like ours.Now if only Kirkpatrick would figure out how to play football.Your first rounder should be more than a teams guy that draws penalties.
