Cheer to Victory!
Touchdown Bengals!
Get Some Points Up On That Board
And Win a Game for Cincinnati!

[fenway1990]

i think they have a good team

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

Too bad about losing Pollack and Thurman earlier in the year. And it's ABOUT TIME they run a more unpredicatable offense.

I like to say I hate the bengals cause all of my buddies here in OH are bengals fans, but Chad is not to be messed with. T.J. is a great possession receiver. I have to root for Carson too cause hes on my fantasy team, The Haynesworth Hustlers. Thiet D is horrid though and probably the only this holding them back from a Championship

[northicehero99]

Not a Bengals fan, but if it comes down to them or the Cleve Ravens, I would root for them. Ah heck who am I kidding, no I wouldn't.

I like their offense but I do not think they are going to go far in the playoffs although no-one expected the Steelers to last year so you never know. I like Indy, San Diego for the AFC champ this year.

At least they are playing better than the Steelers.

The defense has perked up the last few games and the offensive line seems to be protecting better.

This is very true, but how long will it last?

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

8-5

Slowly but surely.....

[braves4life1025]

me and 2 of my 4 brothers like the bengals!

[ITG Franchises Man]

BEGALS FOR TO THE SUPERBOWL!!

[ChiefinP]

I know this happened a few days ago but I thought I'd mention it anyway. This is rediculous..... another bengal arrested. This is the 9th player this year. Ole Marvin needs to find away to control his players a little bit more!

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

Monday night we will see what the Bengals are really made of. I've been looking forward to this game since the beginning of the season and even more so now since their playoff lives are on the line.

[HOFerAutoCollector]

I heard Pollack's career is over.

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

I heard Pollack's career is over.

That's a shame. He was one of the physical defenders, like Odell....

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

The Colts are going DOWN tonight!!!

[snkpoct137]

The Colts are going DOWN tonight!!!     

u wish... i wanna see a 60-59 game with peyton throwing for 6 tds, carson throwing for 4 (3 to rudi johnson) and rudi rushing for 3 tds .. that would make the day saving both my fantasy teams and sending me to the championship

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

If I have to lose, I hope the Colts win by 2.

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

Looks like the Bengals defense is back to their old selves again. I can't believe they got beat on the SAME play multiple times.

The Play:
- fake handoff draw play to Addai while Manning drops back further
- this keeps the Bengals D-Line up at the line of scrimmage while drawing in the linebackers
- once the linebackers see it is a fake, they turn their backs to Manning to drop back in coverage
- no one covered Addai AFTER the fake handoff was realized and Addai was able to find a soft zone underneath
- why were the LBs playing 6+ yards from the line?

[msuwendy]

You said it Robert! What I can't understand is why they continued to go with the running game when they were trailing late in the game. Indy's D looked very very motivated to stopping the run and they handled Rudi quite well. Yes, Chad Johnson had to leave the game for some IVs because of cramps, but with TJ and Henry, the Bengals still have some decent threats. They were down a bunch and time was running out....would have made more sense to just air it out. They had nothing to lose and Indy's D has had a tendency to give up some big plays every now and then.

[19th Century Indiana Jones]

The Colts' defense is built to protect a good lead. Their rush defense is last in the league, but their pass defense is top notch. The Bengals ran because that is where their strength would be against the Colts. But it takes up too much time to score. In the 1st quarter it was a HUGE mistake for Marv to call a time out. It gave the Colts a chance to review the play. They should have run one more play, away from Chad if necessary, so then there could be no review. I think that just changed the momentum of the game early on.

The Bengals uniforms did look like a nice contrast to Colt blue on digital TV.
