Mexal Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 And that's it folks. The Bengals beat the Steelers again, this time in Pittsburgh. Think we'll get any respect now? That defense played great. The offense didn't give the ball away. I love it.Now, we get Oakland and Cleveland the next two weeks. Benson needs to rest up, let Scott get some playing time.

Slyfinger Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 And that is how you play defense on a final drive. None of that silly prevent bullshit.The Bengals are 7-2. The AFC North is theirs to lose and there's a good chance they'll be at least the #2 seed in the AFC.Fuck.Congrats Bengal fans. You have no idea how hard that was for me to say. This loss hurts us bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Bandito Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Nice job Bengals. That Defense has looked aggressive and stingy since preseason. Always nice to see Ben get sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexal Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 They are still NFL teams. Good teams don't "rest up".Yes, I know. But given that Benson went down with an injury and didn't return and that he was leading the league in rushing attempts by 30 (had 200 going into this game), I don't mind him resting while a very capable back in Scott gets an opportunity. I didn't say the whole team should rest up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Man, what were the odds that the blacked-out Raiders-Chiefs game was going to be better than the freaking Packers-Cowboys game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the silent speaker Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Interception off of Ward's helmet and Willie Colon down.I first read this as "Interception off of Ward's helmet and Willie's colon," and thought, "Man, that must have been some kind of bounce."

Mya Stone Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 This is a great game. It's like watching a game in 04 again, but with Randy Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 This is a great game. It's like watching a game in 04 again, but with Randy Moss.Blah, this game sucks. Peyton is not playing to form, and Stego was right about the accumulation of Colts' injuries; using smoke and mirrors and the pass rush against other teams works, but the NE offense is built with multiple release valves, which makes it way more difficult. And Moss obviously is a beast.Not to mention, all the wrong things are happening for me FF-wise.Credit to New England, though, they're playing extremely well on offense, and they're taking what opportunities they get on D. I'm still confounded by some of Manning's throws, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwordoftheMorning Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Some people are gonna paint it like Belichik showed get guts going for it. But that was the dumbest call I have seen made in football in a long long time. The Pats deserve to lose this game and the coach is the goat.

Piper Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 God, that was poorly done down the stretch. Good play by the Colts when they needed it, poor work by the Pats at the wrong time. Sigh.

Trebla Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 gah, I was working so I only saw the Colts at 1st and goal. wtf happened? The Pats went for it on 4th down and the Colts then drove and won the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
