Stripes Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 ESPN So far the boys at ESPN seem to be favoring the Bengals.YAHOO They likes the Steelers, but the anonymous public says Cincy.CBS Picking against the spread, they like the Steelers.Walter's He likes the Steelers. He says we aren't ready for a game this big, but next year is our time. Quote
bengalindian Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Wow, that's great. I was looking at the overall record for these guys, and I have a better record than anyone at Yahoo or CBS. I would have to say the ESPN guys are collectively smarter, but for "experts", these guys don't know more than the common football fan. Not that I'm surprised. Quote
NYBengalfan Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Even Better news, Peter King picks Pittsburgh to win 27-24. This a**h*** has Green Bay beating the Bears as well.Now I know for sure that we will win. Quote
derekshank Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Theisman picked Cincy? We're in big trouble! Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Golic hates us for some odd reason... that fat peice of unhealthy fat. Quote
derekshank Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Don't most of the ESPN guys usually have their picks in by now? What's the dealio? Quote
Stripes Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Posted December 3, 2005 Don't most of the ESPN guys usually have their picks in by now? What's the dealio? The competition can't keep up with their records, so they get lazy! Quote

NYBengalfan Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Golic hates us for some odd reason... that fat peice of unhealthy fat.Golic had us going 8-8 or 7-9 this year he said in season Previews on Mike and Mike. he clearly does not lke us. The Only Mike for me is MIKE DITKA. he picked us to win on Monday Morning QB Quote
Bengalbob Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 I like BD's take from Pigskin Addiction . . ."BD’s Take: Ok, I’m now officially a Bengals homer. The reason? Simple. Nobody in the NFL is as much fun to watch than the Bengals right now. Carson Palmer and Co. can light it up and their ‘D is feisty and getting better every week. They have had big plays all season on both sides of the ball, and it because of this they will go into Pittsburgh to avenge the loss the Steelers gave them earlier this season. Pittsburgh will do its best to show up, but this team has the feel of being lost, particularly in the wake of the ass-hammering the Colts just dumped on them. Start all Bengals and members of the Steeler’s passing attack, I just don’t have the faith I used to in Pittsburgh’s ground game."http://www.pigskinaddiction.com/2005/13/Fri/default.asp Quote
Stripes Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Posted December 3, 2005 Chris Mortensen (in my opinion the most knowlegeable of all TV analysts) has picked the Bengals to win. He has seemed to have his eye on the Bengals ever since his Superbowl comments during the draft. I like it. Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 Wow, that's great. I was looking at the overall record for these guys, and I have a better record than anyone at Yahoo or CBS. I would have to say the ESPN guys are collectively smarter, but for "experts", these guys don't know more than the common football fan. Not that I'm surprised.I'm not surprised either. The only two "experts" ahead of me are Salisbury at ESPN and Cris Collinsworth at HBO. And Mr. Collinsworth selected the Bengals while three stooges he shares the stage with selected Pittsburgh.

bengalindian Posted December 3, 2005 Report Posted December 3, 2005 I think the three worst analysts are on FSN. I know one of them is Jason Sehorn, but I dunno the other two. Their comments about football sound to me like they haven't watched a single football game this year. Quote
Stripes Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Posted December 4, 2005 I think the three worst analysts are on FSN. I know one of them is Jason Sehorn, but I dunno the other two. Their comments about football sound to me like they haven't watched a single football game this year. Chris Meyers and the fat guy that does Fox sideline reports.... Jay Glazer.That show, FSN Football Preview, is horrible. They just cruise through the games each week offering information obvious to even a casual football fan.And Seahorn is a geek. Quote
derekshank Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 It is now Sunday morning, and Salisbury and Hoge... the two ESPN leaders... still don't have their pick in.Everyone but Golic seems to be picking Cincy though... I hope that's not a bad omen. Quote
rizzy Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 It is now Sunday morning, and Salisbury and Hoge... the two ESPN leaders... still don't have their pick in.Everyone but Golic seems to be picking Cincy though... I hope that's not a bad omen. Everyone was picking us to win last game too. I think I would feel better if they all just picked the steelers. It would make the win today that much better. Quote
duus Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 It is now Sunday morning, and Salisbury and Hoge... the two ESPN leaders... still don't have their pick in.Everyone but Golic seems to be picking Cincy though... I hope that's not a bad omen.Omen schmomen ... the Bengals simply have to take care of business. This is their final opportunity before the playoffs to show they are more than a 'wildcard playoff team' for 2005. Not that I wouldn't be happy with that, and be excited looking to 2006, but this is all about 2005 right now. The Colts took care of bad records versus the Pats and Steelers this year. The Bengals have taken care of bad records versus the Ravens, and now the Steelers are on tap. Take care of business guys! Both teams are 'healthy'. The weather is the way the Steelers claim they like it. The Steelers have everything to play for. It's in Pittsburgh. No excuses for them this time. We win, we deserve it. We take over the AFCNorth, and the Steelers will be crawling away wondering what might have been.This is THE OPPORTUNITY. Bring it.Go Bengals! Quote
NYBengalfan Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Eric Allen CHANGED HIS PICK. On MMQB he picked Pittsburgh. Eric is off gotta be for a good reason. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 Eric Allen CHANGED HIS PICK. On MMQB he picked Pittsburgh. Eric is off gotta be for a good reason.It was for a good reason. He just couldn't live with himself being right the first time! Chump! Quote
andybren Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 And Seahorn is a geek.But his wife is hot. I for one, am glad when the analysts are wrong. It confirms my pathological sense of superiority. Quote
Stripes Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Posted December 5, 2005 But his wife is hot. This is true. It is truly difficult to bash a man with a hot wife. Quote
