How do you think the Bengals will finish this year? Will they slip/let us back in the hunt?

OK, I must've misread what you meant. I took it as you thought losing your last two games was passing the test because they were both on the road and you managed to push them to OT. Sorry if that wasn't your point. I thought it was so I was just countering that that's way too low a bar.



Lol, you know, I only have this level of ire for a few QBs in the league, and it tends to be the up-and-comers who've done little to deserve their hype. I find I don't feel this way about Luck, for example, because that dude can just flat out ball. I probably most strongly dislike Luck and Kaepernick, solely because the amount of press/free passes these dudes get makes me think about how little free passes Flacco gets/has gotten.

You can hate on Squidward all you want. I'm glad to see Alex Smith at 9-0. :)

At best the Bengals will be one and done in the playoffs. Worst case for them they let the Browns or Ravens slip past them.

The Bengals will never go anywhere with Marvin Lewis and Andy Dalton. That decision to go for it in overtime was horrendous. Cinci's defense was shutting down the Ravens all day. Yet Lewis gambles at giving Joe Flacco the ball at midfield. Andy Dalton just isn't a big game quarterback.

While I am not high on Andy and Marvin all you have to do is get into the playoffs. The Bengals and Dalton could get hot and be unstoppable for 4 games.

You never know.

That formula worked for Flacco last year. OK if we copy?

As far as AJ will take them. He bails out Dalton so much it is ridiculous.

[CincyCat]

Wow, lotta Dalton hate. We even have a bunch of that here too. Flacco is a sacred cow, so no one dares compare real numbers.

I'll believe it when I see it. Until then I can't see the Bengals going deep into the playoffs with their current leadership. No way they put on a 4 game run like the Ravens did last year. Flacco is a different caliber QB than Dalton and so is Harbaugh over Marvin Lewis.

I meant to say "Dalton and Kap" there, lol, but you probably understood.

Squidward?

"Sacred cow"? How do you mean?

I know for the first time last week I read that Bengals fans sometimes refer to Flacco as "Joe Elite" mockingly. I couldn't believe that a fan base would actually take the time to mock him en masse.

11 TDs to 0 ints playoff run and a Super Bowl MVP. Three Championship games in five years. I guess we can still compare stats if you want.
