JBrooks Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 I wanna hear it. Let's have some blatant honesty. What are the picks against the Rams?Cincinnati 24St. Louis 21 Quote
Kirkendall Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Bengals 117Rams 110OK, here's my honest prediction:Bengals 44Rams 35Gonna be a shootout! Quote
JBrooks Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Posted December 17, 2003 I agree with you that all signs point to a shootout. These two offenses, on carpet, less than stellar defenses, but...I think Bulger throws a few picks and has one of those games where he holds it together, doesn't dominate, and Marvin gets the D motivated.Same offense as we faced in the Chiefs, and that game should have been a shootout...but it wasn't. Quote
Kirkendall Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 I hope the D at one point gets motivated, they've look really bad. Maybe things will improve this week and now that the Bengals are practicing indoors this week, might cushion the fact they are in a dome sunday. Anyway, I'd rather it be a shootout, seems like we win games like that.. Quote
redsfan2 Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Bengals 34 .......... Rams 30.Said on one of the other posts that the Rams have been giving up points in the 20's to other teams that don't have the offense that we do. If they give in the 20's to them, they'll give in the 30's to us. There were two other times that we would have scored 40 this year if we hadn't taken a knee. Have to control the clock with the running game, and then try to keep Faulk from being a factor ala Alexander et al. Get pressure on the qb and force them into making the turnovers that they've shown a tendency for. I would put the Chiefs the Seahawks and the Ravens against these guys, and we've beaten 2 of those and split with the 3rd. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 Bengals: 34....Rams: 24! Let's come back to this topic after the game Sunday and see who was closest! Quote
Kirkendall Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 I think we should add a section to the site that tracks everyone's guesses all season. Maybe make it a game. Quote
jbengals1 Posted December 17, 2003 Report Posted December 17, 2003 I think we should add a section to the site that tracks everyone's guesses all season. Maybe make it a game. Cool im in............and thanks for closing down that other message....i dont mind trash talk but talking SH** abought the past should be just that left in the past...... Quote
redsfan2 Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 I think we should add a section to the site that tracks everyone's guesses all season. Maybe make it a game. Great Idea !Were you thinking about all of the games or only the Bengals ?????? Quote
Kirkendall Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 I would say Bengal games only. Just because I can't imagine who'd want to do all that work for each game, I surely couldn't. I imagine we'll all discuss it as the next season approaches, but it would be a blast.Cool im in............and thanks for closing down that other message....i dont mind trash talk but talking SH** abought the past should be just that left in the past......Yea, I don't mind trash talk and tend to turn a deaf ear because it's not my forum and I'm not really good at it, plus I don't want to step on any toes. But that was pretty bad. I know all of the guy's usernames (he has a few) so I'm going to keep an eye on him for a little bit and make sure he shows some level of materity. Quote

kevnz Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Well, I think the score will be 44-38 Bengals. The Rams defense is pretty good, but that is because they create turnovers. The Bengals have been playing very smart ball control this year. As long as Kit is getting blindsided everything should be fine.I think it would be very cool to keep track of the games and our predications...See who comes the closest score wise every week. I also think it would be cool to do it league wide as well.... Quote
richmond_mat Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 I do not know what will transpire Sunday, but the fanatic in me sees a big bengal win!Bengals 23Rams 17It's going to be surprisingly low scoring. The D runs faster on turf.Run Rudi run, milk that clock. Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Bengals: 46Rams: 43In overtimeRudi won't have much time to milk the clock since each time we blink he'll be in the end zone. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 I think we should add a section to the site that tracks everyone's guesses all season. Maybe make it a game. Kirkendall, That's a brilliant idea! I think lots of guys would participate in this type forum!! Quote

Kirkendall Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Nah, Doc is a cool name. We'll call you doc from now on Welcome to the board man. Quote

I am a transplant from Dayton (The City of Invention), OH.I did have the unpleasurable experience of attending the CIN @ BAL game and can report there were many fans. Stick with Doc, Doc.Go Bengals fan from Dayton!!! I hail from the flight capital of the world myself.Sorry about your luck at the Ravens game. Hopefully I'll have more when they finish off Cleveland on the 28th. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Sorry Mr. Lewis, Didn't mean to hang a name on you, but it looks as though it's popular. You're no relation to our beloved coach "Marvin" are you? That would be soooo cool!!! Quote
DaveLewisMD Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 JB, I'll do just that. And thanks Kirkendall.I just took the 6 1/2. - Doc Quote
jbengals1 Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Whats up Doc ........"Sorry it had to be said" but it is a cool nickname & welcome to the board Quote
Deez Nuts Posted December 18, 2003 Report Posted December 18, 2003 Offensive: St. Louis is all about the timing route, so I hope the Bengals DB's will put pressure on them at the line of scrimmage. If they let them get into their routes without pressure, then it could be a long day. But, the Bengals are spreading the ball around offensively so the Rams D won't know who is getting the ball next.Defensive: The Bengals O-Line HAS to have a great game. The Rams can put pressure on the QB and, even though Kitna is having a great year, we all know what happens when he gets pressure out the wazoo. Bulger has shown that he will throw a bad ball with or without pressure, but most of his bad games have come on the road.KEY TO GAME: Bengals HAVE to score first and get the crowd out of the game. I went to the Rams/Raiders games in the dome last year and that place is extremely loud when the crowd gets rocking.Bengals 31 Rams 26 Quote
