LesterLyles Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Don't know if you remember me but I am a huge Jets fan and posted here a few times leading up to the game. Just wanted to congratulate you guys on beating a hated rival of ours. my wife is from Cincy (Western Hills) so I follow you guys closely. It was nice to see Palmer poised at the end. The experience will serve him well. Good luck this week and during the season.P.S. I realize Jet fans had a good relationship w/ this board last week. How were the Fish fans?? I personally can't stand them but may be a bit biased. Curious what you guys thought!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kybengalsfan Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I can't remember them being too bad, but they are not our rivals like Cleveland, Pittsburg or Baltimore. Now, those fans can be obnoxious, especially Pittsburg and Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I don't remember many Dolphins coming over here at all, but I hardly go to the smack talk area so it may have happened there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Bengal Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm actually going to keep up with the Jets this year. They really impressed me... Yeah I think the Jets may be the team to beat this year. If Martin can keep up the pace he's set they will be unstoppable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Martin can keep up the pace he's set they will be unstoppable. When Curtis Martin goes up against a formidable defense, then I'll say he's for real. Otherwise, I'll say he padded his numbers against terrible defenses.I'll say that there's a couple of teams that are the "teams to beat":1. Jacksonville (so far)2. Indianapolis3. Tennessee (the annual team to beat)And yes, I think you can include the Jets, as for right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Jax effin sux. Their offense is ranked 32nd in the league right now. Two lucky as s&*t wins does not make them a "team to beat". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but remember, a lot of people were saying that about Carolina this time last year as well, but look where they ended up.But yeah, they are bloody lucky. Any team that makes Baltimore's offense look explosive is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two lucky as s&*t wins does not make them a "team to beat".Last I checked, they were 2-0. So don't give me this statistic crap.In the year 2000, the Ravens were the team to beat--and their offense sucked donkey dicks. They didn't even know who their starting QB was until Trent Dilrod took over for Tony Banks.Great Defenses usually win everytime.Here's a hint: Sunday Night's game was won because the BUNGLES PLAYED BETTER DEFENSE!!!So, Jacksonville wasn't lucky. They have been playing good defense. That explains their 2 wins.And when a team is 2-0, that makes them a TEAM TO BEAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Ok, so lay out the case for Detroit. I guess they are a team to beat too, then.Jax:1st, hail mary 4th and 6 ever gets answered in Buffalo for win 1. Denver effin drops the ball when they shouldn't have even run it gets them win 2. That fortunate sequence of events does not make them better than 1-1 teams like Indy or Tennessee. Simply ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 jax will make the playoffs mb if the keep it up but their offense is gonna hurt them in the long run. NE, Indy, tenn, and KC are still the teams to beat. yes i said KC, they've had 2 tough games and should get their offense going starting this week.

See jd, I do think jax is on upswing because of their defense. But it is what is in their division that will hold them back just yet. TN and Indy are still formidable, and I don't see Jax climbing past either of those teams yet. I figure one wild card for the Jets, and other for the TN/Indy loser or someone like Denver or KC. If Jax can climb past that, more power to them, but their division location makes that an extremely tall order.Put it this way, I bet they still wish they were in the AFC North (what was the Central).

Detroit is in a WEAK DIVISION--so yeah, they ARE the team to beat in the NFC North.But what do you expect from a Division that has Detroit, Chicago, Minnesota, and Green Bay???ALL those teams have weaker defenses, so yes, the division is for the taking.I believe firmly that the Lions COULD win that division.

membengal Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 OR, Green Bay is still the team to beat despite an early loss. Or maybe Minnesota with that offense. Come on barbarian, you are the first to say its early in terms of any Bengals success, but want to make Detroit (minus Charles Rogers I might add) the favorite over Green Bay? Can I get a bet on who wins that division? I will take Green Bay/Minnesota and you can have Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Jax - I'll give them props for going 2-0 to start the season. But anytime you have a guy named Ernest making game winning catches two games in a row, you've got a disaster in the waiting. And as Memphis said, they are too much in over their head with Indy and Tenn.Det - I really like them. They have a foundation of good young players that will win in the future; but not now. Teams will attack Harrington and Jones tough and with both being young, they will still make mistakes. Plus Minnesota is a great home team and Green Bay seems to always make the fight. Detroit has a chance at making the final wild card, but the odds of that are similar to seeing Osama and Bush at the BBQ drinking a beer (or Kerry actually sticking with the same position during a full week).

Not this year. He has looked good, has a good QB rating, and his TD-INT ratio if 2-1. Roy Williams is stepping up very nicely.That being said they play the Eagles this week so we will se just how good they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
