Enough Moping!

OK. I am healed. The Bengals lost and didn't stop the run. The point is that they are 5-2, and are not losing to teams that they should beat. If the Bengals we're 3-4 and beat the Steelers everyone would be saying how the Bengals are coming together, well they are a half game in first and are going to kill the Packers. Odell and Pollack will get better as the season goes on, and here is what we need to happen. Bengals beat the Colts, Steelers beat the Colts, then the Bengals beat the Steelers on the short week. That gives the Bengals home field. Throw in a Pats win against the Colts, and a Colts win over Pitt. That will work too. The Bengals are going to kick the Pack's A$$!!!!!!!!!! I'm not letting a loss to Pitt in the regular season bum me out. I don't think the Pats or Eagles were that upset last year. By the way. If Henry would have caught that TD, the Bengals would have won.

Steelers beat the Colts and a Colts win over Pitt.

Steelers beat the Colts and a Colts win over Pitt.

those were two separate scenarios. It is easy to make someone look stupid when you misquote them. Who looks dumb now?

Thanks Shank. Hey Point. Don't be a dick.

[turningpoint]

lol i missed the diffrent scenarios sentence... i jsut assumed you were rambling on.

Anyways my bad, I was more so confused, then trying to point out that you were dumb.

I usually agree with 95% of the stuff you post walzav.

No problem. I mean look at it from the standpoint of the Steelers. The Pats come in to SteelTown. They knocked them out of the playoffs, and Brady almost hangs 400 on them. They rebounded and slowed the best QB in the NFL to under 250. The Bengal not allowing interviews shows how tight they must have been. We're alright.

Unfortunately, the Bengals are not better than the Steelers or the Colts, not this year.

That said anything can happen if the Bengals make it in as a wildcard - which they "should" be in 1st place for near the end of the season if they take care of the teams they should beat, while the rest of the AFC beats up on each other.

I'm resolved to be quite happy with a record above .500 and a playoff birth - I really, truly do not think the Bengals' are good enough to get homefield advantage or beat the Steelers twice.

In fact I think the Bengals will play a lot of close games this year, even GB could make things close for them the way they have been playing the last 3 weeks.

This is just reality, and the Steelers loss was a much-needed wake up call to fans and the team alike.

Maybe they can go back to being the unrespected underdogs again despite the record.

I think this year in the NFL is wide open. There is no truly dominant team. Everyone wants to jump on the Colts and say they are, but I disagree. Who knows where we end up in the AFC scheme of things, but I know one thing, every team has it's kryptonite.
