Cincy Jungle

First!

Always wanted to do that

If the Bengals do win this game, it's a radical feat

They’re on a streak of 13 straight losses to playoff teams.
They’ve never in franchise history beaten a winning team in the last game of the year to capture a playoff spot (only wins were against doormats in 1970 and 1990)

Note that backing into the playoffs also

is historically unprecedented in Bengals history.
Only have one wild card (1975) and no tie-breaker was involved. Have lost all other wild card tie-breakers.

The Van Buren Boys - January 1, 2012 reply

Yeah, let's make some noise and get into the playoffs on a positive note here......

don’t get me wrong I’ll take a playoff birth any which way, but would like to see us a little more fired up than this.

Yeah, losing to the Ravens wouldn't be the ideal way that I'd want to get into the playoffs, but I'll take it.

I agree. I prefer a win going into the Playoffs but I'll take the Playoffs anyway we can get them

It would be HUGE experience for these young players. Also the first game against the Texans is definitely a winnable game for us. We also owe them for that last second loss.

Chargers up 24-13 now after another FG

KC also up 7-0

First down to open the 2nd half?

Benson run left for 1 yard?

maybe they should pass

then pass some more

Ha Ha

love it

I think he looks more like Sam the Eagle from the Muppets

but either one works

Bert is making you seem like the Vegetable Monster.

Someone might have thought it was a good idea, but it clearly wasn’t.

Roa - January 1, 2012 reply

gz troll

welcome to end when ur team goes on the road in the playoffs

No pressure on Flacco

what so ever. Need to get some pressure.

that 70 yard rice run pulled the pressure back

Need a good possession here to open the second half!

if we can't show up any better than this for a big game

We will be one and done in the playoffs.

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I think just getting to the playoffs with this young team is enough.

almost a pick on 1st down

The awful thing is we had a favorable matchup with a safety on Green

Have to win that matchup

Safety on Green, we have to get the ball to Green in that situation faster.

3rd and long

I think Dalton is looking pretty good so far

the receivers need to get separation

as soon as I say that he puts on too far inside and lets it get knocked away

He's not been on as much as usual I'll admit

That last throw he had Green but didn’t lead him enough. Those are the things he needs to work on in the offseason.

gruden needs to learn

throwing the ball 30+ times a game, isn’t always the answer

Cuz running with Benson obviously is.

hell no

leonard, peerman, scott.

hell, pressley too

Yea true dat....i agree with you.

3 and out...

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

3 and out

yeah, I think we get an idea who’s going to win this.

He threw that into triple coverage

who was open?

Green was open, if Dalton put the ball in the right place actually

No one came to play today

Just poor execution all over the field. Really disappointing so far.

TheC - January 1, 2012 reply

Marvin-ball

quintessential Marvin-ball

Big game Bengals..

Shrink in the spotlight.

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Lack of concentration

on all fronts.

They said

that the players were exceptionally loose all week during practice. Maybe that has something to do with it?

3 and out

ya we are not playing like a team that wants to go to the playoffs

nor deserves to be

Seems like nerves mostly, too many bad choices and stupid fouls.

wow

you could shave on the abs of the 3rd from the left….

I'll take the works

Oregonbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

this game reminds me of the first bengals jets game at the end of the 09 season.

everyone looks like rookies in this game

and the players had the nerve to beg fans for a sellout what a joke.

How can you keep asking people to buy tickets with this execution

we will back into the playoffs and get beat

And Mike Brown will consider that a success.

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

success?

By his standards its like winning a Nobel Prize and an Oscar in the same year.

Mike Brown has asked people to buy tickets for worse

and they have

If the Bengals lose this

and again next weekend they’ll have lost fifteen straight games to playoff teams.

http://unfollowingjesus.com/files/2010/07/tourettes-jesus.jpg

lol

We are young guys. This is the first time most of these players have played in a game like this

Very good experience. If we back in the Playoffs it will be good experience also. For this young team this kind of experience could be hugely beneficial over the next few years.

It seems every year we are young though..

I'll take a playoff spot however the Bengals can get it

And if the Bengals do get in, it’s not like they’ll be playing a hot team in the Texans…..nice bit of revenge could be had there.

Exactly

and much much more importantly then anything the experience for these young players of playing in Playoff atmosphere’s.

If they don't start winning

there won’t be much fans to create an atmosphere…

You mean fans won't come to watch a winning team, Playoff team(if we back in), and young exciting team?

I disagree with that. This game has little to do with whether fans will come to see them next year or in the next few years.

Discerning fans recognize that the Bengals

haven’t beaten anybody good and crapped the bed when they had a chance to earn a playoff spot today.

You know what?

If they come to play and they play and make this a game the way playoff teams should, then yes. But it seems to me that with all the talent we have something is definitely holding them back, and also in return will hold the fans back..

At least the Jets lost - gives the Bengals a chance to get into the playoffs.

We only need 1 loss by either Denver or Oak

Right now both are losing.

hush

team is 9-6 in a year when the experts picked the bengals to be one of the worst teams in the nfl. the ravens trolls know to stay away because for all the crap they wanna talk, the bengals own the ravens for the past 9 seasons.

this aint over.

Thank you.

Regardless of what happens, we are an up and coming team so why all the negative comments?

I’ll take a playoff birth anyway possible, but most importantly this team has positioned itself to be good for years to come.

Why?

I don’t see this as evidence of “up and coming”.
Bengals beat the league’s patsies, next year’s schedule will be more difficult.

So you would disagree that the Bengals are up and coming?

With a stud young WR? A solid young Defense? A good young QB to build around? Tons of early picks for the next few years? Winning 9 games in a year that we were picked to win 1-4 games?

I’d say we are definitely up and coming!

I don't think the defense will be that good next year

because I expect them to lose a lot of players to free agency.

Up and coming means you beat some good teams. When that happens I’ll change my mind – but if they end the year with 14 or 15 straight losses to playoff teams, I’m not buying what you’re selling.

No it won't.

Still a third place position.

Dude, you’re miserable today. cut it out. I don’t mean put on fake happiness, but good lord.

Have you been following this team for the past 21 years?

What makes you think this isn’t the best that’s going to happen?

TheC - January 1, 2012 reply

b/c mike brown is 21 years older

even the crypt keeper in oakland couldn’t outlast the reaper forever.

At some point we are going to have to stop making excuses.

New York is ready to run Sanchez out of town. What are our expectations?

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

our expectations were 0 to 2 wins this season by most analysts

and we are “maybe” a playoff team….even if we make the playoffs I know they won’t go to the Super Bowl but i’m already excited for the future of this team….haters quit hating you people don’t even sound like fans…..week in and week out on these comments

The Ravens want this game MUCH MUCH more than the Bengals do.

Absolutely nothing positive happening right now for the Bengals.

Anthony Cosenza - January 1, 2012 reply

only positives: Raiders and Broncos both losing

bengals need someone to step up on offense

2nd quarter woes yet again

IF we do make the playoffs, thsi is one glaring issue they need to resolve if they want to win a game.

D needs to win the game for us

Good tackle Howard

nice stop!

Bengals have been having a heck of a push on the punter all game

yeah!

I am hoping we actually block one!

thank god we got that call

time to rest our starters and hope we make it in the playoffs

this is just not working today.

The Tebows fged 7-3.

dalton keeps gettin flushed outta the pocket. o-line has to step up. plus better playcalling by gruden

ksimm1 - January 1, 2012 reply

looked like we touched it at end- got lucky

no benson no

Need a TD!

Let’s go!!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

WOW, why so much negative comments around this team?

It makes me sick to hear ‘Bengals Fans’ be so negative about the team they are supposed to root for in a year we have a winning team and good chance to make the playoffs.

+1

+1 million

I’m with u man this is ridiculous! Bash bash bash I’m so sick of it I’m about to leave this blog! Come on na-sayer, us and lions tell me a more up and coming team! And I’m so freaking SICK of bashing mike brown, tell me one thing he did wrong starting with this years draft? We got 2 of the 3 best rookies. We trade carson for 2 high picks. We signed great free agents aka manny,thomas, nate. He got rid of a 10+ year problem in bob brat and signed a hell of an oc. Come on bashers c’mon what more do u want. Get on board and be happy this isnt the same old bengals, or mike brown. If not go cry, bitch, moan to someone who gives a rats ass cuz no one here does! WHO-DEY!

big_A_1982 - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

it's not negativity. it's passion!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

lol

your ok in my book

I agree.....I was hoping that fans of this team were better than immature crybabies

but darns it I’m wrong

obligatory 2 yards on first down, thanks Ced

green and gres. lets get something going

First down Green!

Let’s go Bengals. Need a drive right here, gives us some real good momentum!

First down to Green

Love me some AJ!

GRESH

great another flag and its on..cincy

pass interferecen on the receiver?

ok, that’s 2 bad calls now

Where's the PI??!

BS Call

That's one thing I'm completely negative on=Cedric Benson.

I hate him!

Damn

we have some of the weirdest luck in the world.

refs are relentless

bengals have to beat refs and ravens

These refs are really pissing me off

NICE D JEROME!!!!!

lol simpson didnt even mean to do that

even the announcers knew it wasnt PI....oh god thank god.

Great hit from Simpson

Thank god he played defense

3rd and playoffs

Sigh

Dear Refs

can you please just call the game evenly?

We're getting EVERY bad call

PASS INTERFERENCE

PLEASE GOD

PI!

p.i, !

They don't have a PI flag?

Are you kidding me?

they better call the PI...

oh son of a bitch

wait, you were saying the refs were calling a clean game

still feeling that way?

they had been, with 2 exceptions

does illegal formation negate the play?

or should the penalties offset?

lol hah penalty called on us

not a pi call

WTF is this crap!!!

omg

Refs are laying it to the Bangals!

Somethings never change

Wow! Amazing!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

HOW IS THAT NOT PI

We're the Bengals and we're playing the Ravens!

pi on gresh, none on ravens - gees

Bengals are really crapping the bed today

reminds me of the Sunday game against the Falcons in 2002.

its hard to play 2 games, one against the other team and one against the refs

the ravens are good

with the refs on their side, they are unstoppable.

they have no chance

unless the refs start evening out the penalties.

refs are making sure of this one

Refs

Im not one to really ever bitch about the Refs, but………

wow, that was close

this is completly fucked up

we're getting

F$&#%ed

Oregonbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Easily

one of the worst officiating games I’ve seen in the NFL this season.

i've seen better called college games

honestly, not a fair game calling so far

BrokenUmbrella - January 1, 2012 reply

bengals can't even get a break when baltimore screws up lol.

We've done nothing to help ourselves but some of these calls are the worst I've seen

from one crew in the same game.

We need a turnover badly

the refs would just call us for a penalty and give the ball back to the ravens

Someone call the refs.....the Jets LOST they can't make the playoffs

stop screwing the Bengals

heh

the NFL called a bad game in the second meeting between the bengals and the steelers.

looks like they’re trying to match that poor officiating in the second meeting with the ravens.

dqniel - January 1, 2012 reply

where is our home cooking this game

are we playing in baltimore or cincy?

Bengals playing like shit

and getting hosed by the refs

Cmon, turnover!!

I predict a turnover....

PLEASE

SCbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

i was about to say

Palmer just completed a long pass over the top

Who is winning the Raiders game

and the Broncos game

No way

they called one on them

My god its on the ravens

it's about the $

We can’t fill our stadium. They don’t want us to win.

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

what's the difference we won't have a home game anyway

chargers

I can't believe people are blaming the refs

Bengals playing like crap. No pass rush, not really stopping the Ravens, not able to run the ball, not doing much in the passing game, and not playing with their heads in the game. Yeah, a couple bad calls went against them. But the main reason they’re getting stomped is their own play.

Go away

It's true

they can't take facts

this team crapping the bed after begging for a full house today.

+1

+1

yes, they are playing bad.

however, one of the bad calls led directly to the last score of the half, making this a two score game.

"a couple" are u serious

Understand that but it doesn't excuse unfair officiating

The one TD drive the refs gave the Ravens 35+ yards

They stopped a potential first down pass that would have gave us the ball at mid field.

Not sure where your negative attitude has come from today, but just stop with it!

Oh, and I've stated that the Bengals have done absolutely NOTHING to help themselves

But there have been some horrendous calls.

You have to play through that in the NFL

as any playoff team…

*ask

I said they have done absolutely nothing to help themselves

and I’ve not blamed us losing on the refs, but some of those calls have been horrendous.

your right

I agree

by the way EVERYTHING you say is negative its like you are PEDRO DOS

+1

I know as Bengals fans we tend to expect bad things, but we need to lose that attitude.

At least two calls have been made up

but you’re right the bengals are not playing well at all.

Oak 3rd and 8 in Red Zone

lets go pacman!

Good atop D!!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

palmer helps again, first and goal end up with FG

Kinda, he threw a beautiful pass that got them down in the RZ though

Time for the Benson for one play

Scott's in actually

quit running the ball!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

damn do the bengals needs to address guard and running back

Here we go

run up the gut for 2-3 yards again again again

Ummm

was that up the middle? No and it was a TD…

and that makes how many for the season?

I can't count that high..

Wait! that was the first time I think..LOL

Scott gets 3 on first down

progress?

last 4 drives: 11 total yards

oh Bernard...

wow, that was a touchdown he just dropped..

omg that was a dropped td

Scottt..... dude, fuck

but you know, benson something…

that should have been a TD

missed a touchdown! Scott was wide open!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

get a hands back in the off season or put leonard on the field

scott cant make those plays

Need a first down

u cant drop that in this game

u just cant

ROME!!!!

First down to Jerome

jjjjjjjrooooooome

Simpson having a good game with Green being quiet

They are double/Triple covering green though

TD Scott!

SCOTT!!

TD TD TD TD TD TD

Bernard Scott around the end for a TD!!!

used the pass to set up the run!!!!

I told ya!!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Thank you for making up for that drop

shocked the refs didnt make up a penalty to call it back

i kno right

that was Ed Reed he shook off at the 20...

jeeze, the wind is incredible

gee and they didnt call holding on AJ :-)

This is what happens when you get Scott OUTSIDE.

Running him up the gut is a waste of a down.

+1

Talk about

redemption. Bernard scott after dropping a sure touchdown rushes it in. Good for him, and the Bengals are right back in it!

1 play dont make up for 3 seasons of not much

+1 You new around here?

He shows up from time to time.

Inside The Shoe is a fantastic blog if you’re a Buckeye fan.

to be an ohioan and not a buckeye fan

that used to be a tar and feathering offense.

Cincinnati has always been a grey spot.

Ohio State even has a hard time recruiting SW Ohio.

Let Scott play the rest of the game

Benson ain’t doing nothing.

if leonard, pressly, and peerman get time

sure

yes!

would love to see that. Mix it up!

Anything to keep Benson on the Bench

Only thing I’d say about Leonard is I would want him fresh on 3rd downs. A few carries would be good, but he’s most important on 3rd downs for this team.

I agree with that!

I can’t stand Benson and still cannot understand why he is still getting the majority of the snaps. He’s clearly not the best back on the team.

chargers driving

Scott's speed was the reason for that TD

PLEASE LEAVE BENSON ON THE BENCH. He brings nothing to the table. Atleast Scott brings something to the table.

yup

benson has yet to fumble this week, he’s due too. keep him off the field.

about time

Lets go!!!

We have the momentum! Lets take this game over!

Why is Benson in the Game?

HOW DOES HE CONTINUE TO PLAY?

momentum breaker

Why? Why?

again with Benson doing NOTHING?

Honesly we would be surprised if he did something :)

Gosh I hate him!

Benson for 2 on first down..

who could have guessed?

I want to smack

Gruden in the head!

Hey lets run it up the middle for a 2-3 yard gain..

Benson catch for 4

If I see another Benson two yard run I am going to fucking puke!

BABY HAWK!!!!

Let Hawkins play more

less Benson. More Hawk.

hawkins with the appropriate First Down point

saw Keller do it in Jets game too, so I guess Simpson isn’t the only inappropriate pointer type fella guy

at least it was a big play

Simpson used to do it after a 6 yards catch on 2nd and 10

yes, that's what I meant

Marvin=Dusty

Stubborn!!!!

go chargers

To be fair to Raiders fans

they are handicapped by Bresnahan, the worst defense “coordinator” in the Universe.

no doubt

he’s fired after this season ends

I saw that earlier today looking for Carson Palmer sucks pics! Lol!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

In the first half thread I said the Ravens could relax in the second half

except Steelers are winning haha

because the steelers are down by 3?

you really think that’s what’s happening?

hey these refs need all the help they can get

Tebow time coming up for the Broncos.

+1

Why I’m so glad the Raiders are down by 15 with Mr. Anti-Clutch in the game.

Also why I’m glad the Bengals are raging back!

pick 6 time!

31-16 Chargers....7-3 Chiefs

and the Bengals are driving….looking good, looking good

I WANT HOUSTON

Revenge would be so sweet

i want the ravens on the road all playoffs

they suck on the road

OMG, did they say good block by Livings?

Benson run on first down for 2.. wait, he got 6!!!!

benson carrying the ball, can I open my eyes yet?

off tackle either side open, he tried to climb up onto the pile in th emiddle

picked up 2

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE BENSON THE BALL ON 3RD AND 1

3rd and 1

please please dont give it to Benson

Benson for zero

another huge huge 3rd down

Beson had a huge hole to the left

he has no vision

He is not a starting NFL back. In fact, I'm not so sure he's not the 4th best back on the Bengals

couple of times

he could have bounced it out and had a nice gain.

nice username

at this point

he is incapable of lateral movement that means anything.

he does not

nor is he elusive. or able to break tackles. he’s durable, that is it.

Go to Gresham

Big 3rd down here. I trust Gresham here. Green will be doubled.

prediction: Benson 3 yard run for 1st down

TO

3rd and 1... oh crap!

I wonder what is coming?

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

is leonard inactive this game?

No

he’s there..saw him out there on a couple of plays. Just not targeted

not targeted. not used, not called upon.

gruden has pretty much ignored leonard all season

i feel your pain

i’ve been asking that all season..

Unless the DBs are playing deep, which they might...

then a quick hit to Green at the snap and let him run for the 1

give it to Leonard

Beson up the middle with a big gain!!

wow..

PUUUUUUKEEEE!

oh wiat, 11 yards

11 yards

Ok Ced there we go

Its time for the Bengals to part ways with Benson but for God's sake can we stop

with all the comments……its gotten repeptitive

benson with a 1st?

THANK YOU BENSON!!!

You’re off the hook for now…

Holy Shit Benson!!

Holly shit! where has that been all year?

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I guess he has to get one first on 3rd and 1 eventually

Still hate the call and Benson

Law of average I guess..

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Benson was 9 for 24 before that play

its ok

benson will be 9 for 24 after that play if given the chance..

Why is Roland playing so much?

apparently Anthony Collins pissed off Marvin somehow

or word came down from MB

“We have to knock him down a peg so we can afford to resign him”

he's a hell of a thompson gunner

Wow!

Benson took advantage of a hole..

ooh, busted play

Simpson/Dalton miscommunication, 3rd and 10

What was that?

Simpson wrong route?

yep

I still thought the first one was good.

Can’t wait to see it on NFL Replay later!

I thought that one was good too

for real...

If it was good and we lose because of it I will be pissed…

why is Cincy called the queen city?

I mean, I liked Freddie Mercury and the guys too, but...

long time back

“queen city of the west” when ohio was the usa west coast

ok..

so why was it called queen city then?

I’ll wiki it, just have wondered that for a while

as in jewel of the west coast

Charlotte

Does that make Charlotte the “queen city” of the east?

unknown

charlotte is known as the queen city?

yep

Never understood it…

KyleStyle11 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

So is SF

Well,

we have the tits of the Queen City in P&G building..

During the first forty years after its founding, Cincinnati experienced spectacular growth. By 1820, citizens, extremely proud of their city, were referring to it as The Queen City or The Queen of the West. On May 4, 1819, B. Cooke wrote in the Inquisitor and Cincinnati Advertiser, “The City is, indeed, justly styled the fair Queen of the West: distinquished for order, enterprise, public spirit, and liberality, she stands the wonder of an admiring world.” In 1854, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote his poem, Catawba Wine, to memorialize the city’s vineyards, especially those of Nicholas Longworth. The last stanza of the poem reads:

“And this Song of the Vine,
This greeting of mine,
The winds and the birds shall deliver,
To the Queen of the West,
In her garlands dressed,
On the banks of the Beautiful River.”

Time for Flacco to make a mistake here

let's go D!

Pick 6!

About time for Flacco to make a big mistake

He’s on the road where he normally does :)

4th down for Oakland!

Lining up for another FG

FG good. Chargers up by 12 now

31 sd 19 oak

Chefs punting from their own 6

Benson 1000 yard rusher last 3 years

… and 29 years old – gotta get someone new next year

TX Bengal - January 1, 2012 reply

The announcers still think he’s an elite/good RB. Not even close.

they keep saying that

as if 1,000 yards rushing means more than you’re a starting RB and didn’t miss too many games to injury

Defense needs to do it one more time

please!!!

vipbox is sucking

Jordan G - January 1, 2012 reply

Don't give em nothing!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Looked like good coverage. Flacco went underneath instead of forcing it.

COME ON D

SCbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Stop em!!!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Cmon D! Stop them here!

another gigantic 3rd down

YEAH!!!!

Nice job

Jennings made a decent play actually!

Nice

yessssssss!!!!!! Defense!!!!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

no good, intended for Pitta but the rush made Flacco hurry and he went high

Yes punt

DEFENSE!!!!

incomplete

YEA GREAT STOP!!!

Let's take this thing!!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

now this is going to be a defining moment for the bengals!

Let's show the world who we are!

This is our time!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Dezmon Briscoe 5 for 33 and a TD so far today

still wish we'd cut caldwell instead of him

Cosby instead

tate scares me everytime on punt returns

+1

81 yards to go fellas.

We need a TD!

just win baby.

I've gotta say, for all the injuries and lack of depth in the secondary they haven't been bad.

When Hall went down I thought we would be done for, yet we still hold the 6th best defense in the NFL I think Kevin Coyle is a gem of a coach and I’d like to see him move up in the organization in some capacity, before he is poached away. I believe the Cards tried to hire him away last season.

Broncos forced to punt.

It’s getting time for Tebow magic though.

Here we go!

No excuses this time. Get it done!

DonMegga - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

GRESH for 8

Nice pick up on 1st down

Did Benson get the first, Looked like it

Bring back Scott!!!!!!!!

+ my wife and kids

It's our time!!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Dalton picks up the first down.

DB Blitz, Benson sees him coming and runs away. Dalton scrambles for about 13

Ya ANDY!

love the ginger

dalton with on the field smarts

That's what Carson could never do!

DonMegga - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

damn straight

Red Rifle!!!

look at the wheels on dalton!

Way to use those legs!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Wow

that was a busted play that turned out

Daltonnnnn <3

.

Can anyone imagine Palmer doing that run?

oooo my knee hurts

rolling now!!!!

BENSON FOR 12!!!

I guess Benson does want that money for the 1100 yard incentives

target mcclain over and over

knock him out

Big Boy Benson!!!

BENSON!!! THIS IS IT LETS GOOOO

fake injury!

stop

its not

Who Dey chants!

Benson

scared me on that run. He was holding the ball out again..

He scares me everytime he touches it.

I’d love to see him get hot. Still want him gone next year though..

Yeah me too

I had enough of him

he'll fumble again if the coaches leave him out there

the ravens are good at that

beat them into submission!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

who dey

hear that crowd

+1

What a GREAT SOUND to hear!

Loving the crowd!! WHO DEY WHO DEY

i've got chills listening to that crowd

Gotta figure Palmer is good for one pick inthe fourth

TX Bengal - January 1, 2012 reply

Too much running

it’s going to the well too many times

Cmon Gresh

Pfft.

GRESH for 4, then he fumbles it...Ravens ball

no question, he was carrying like Benson and it got punched out from behind

.

r u fuking kidding me?

its big

Good news is, Chargers in FG range again!

speaking of the ravens knocking out footballs if you dont secure it..

I knew it...

FUdge!

disaster

welll crap

Pulled a Benson

Cmon D! Get the ball back!

D better pick six in response

Rice stuffed

Gresh was actually trying to cover the ball up too.

he was?

looked to me like he was holding it in one hand about 2 feet away from his body

C'mon defense

do it again

Stop holding the ball away from your body!!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I dont think he was..just a good play by Suggs

we have plenty of time lets go d

need a miracle

Big 3rd down here.

Need a stop to give the Offense as many opportunities as possible.

DAMN 70 yard TD

just when things were looking up this happens

3rd and short, Ray Rice td

You've got to be shitting me.

pretty much game =(

51 yards this time

damn ittttttttttttttttt

yuck yuck yuck yuck

game over

I hate Ray Rice

i hate the ravens

and would rather have rice than benson

god damnit same friking play as the first one

well.....crap

Chargers missed the FG also

They are still up by 12 though.

That FG would have made it really tough for the Raiders though.

un fucking believable.

Curse of Cincinnati strikes again..

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Time to start watching the Chargers and Raiders?

Where

Novak just missed a 44 yard field goal

sad that that's what we're left with

Chargers just missed a FG :(

ridiculous.

at least if we get in the playoffs we can't embarrass ourselves at home like last time.

true dat

won't have to worry about selling out a playoff game lol

That was on Rey!!!!!!

He should have known that hole was there, instead of smashing right into the blocker..

Lap sounds devastated

its big

i don't understand?

being down 2 scores this late in the game vs the ravens with time running low.

that score was big

we need to make ray rice a richest back in the nfl offer in the off season

make the ravens pay a ton if they want to keep him, provided they dont franchise him

they will franchise him

No way the Bengals make that kind of offer anyway

would be as unprecedented in franchise history as beating a playoff team in the last game to earn a playoff spot.

5:41 to go, 11 points down

it’s not over yet

thanks alot gresh

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Was there a hold?

Ah well…..at least the other games are going well (for now)

Illegal hit

roughing the passer, 15 yards

Cheap shot

Completely Unnecessary hit the ref said!

Wish

Nuge hadn’t missed that FG earlier..This would still be a 1 score game

shocked the refs didnt call dalton for a penalty

If both Denver and Oakland lose, we don’t make it in to the playoffs.

bengalbowl - January 1, 2012 reply

praise Tebow

lol yea we do buddy, we will get the 6th seed

Just need one to lose

?

If they both lose, they’d both be 8-8 and we’d be 9-7 even if we lose the game

we get in if both of them lose

yes we do

only if we lose and they both win do we miss the playoffs

if we need one of them to lose

How does it not work if they both lose?

Oregonbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

it could have caused one of those weird three way tie deals

but it doesn’t

Man we can't move against the ratbirds

We were moving just fine until the Turnover, which switched momentum by a large margin

it starts with way too many sequences

that go “Benson for 1” on 1st down.

static noise static noice

Simpson not on game today

better off letting him sit

well done. Simpson for 23 yards

guess he just needed motivation

I actually think Simpsons played decent.

Thank God for Carson

And terrell suggs couldn’t close his mouth if he wanted to. That may be the name of my fantasy team next year. Good thing for Carson, or we may not make the playoffs.

Oxailis - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Just throw it deep to AJ

+1

Give the D as much time as possible. Trust Green to make a play like he has all season.

No we do

They would be 8-8 and we would be 9-7

I thought Titans make it, if we go to a three way tie

bengalbowl - January 1, 2012 reply

we beat the titans

When does head to head come in?

Oregonbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Wouldn't be a 3 way tie.

Denver/Raiders would win their division!

it wouldn't be a 3 way tie

just us and the Titans

We would have a 2 way tie

Ravens D is fierce.

Well guys, looks like we’re just gonna have to rely on the Broncos or Raiders losing, which they are. Would’ve loved to enter the playoffs on a high note but we’ll take what we can get at this point!

Simpson out Baby Hawk in

CINCINNATI BENGALS

Cincinnati clinches a wild-card spot:

1) CIN win or tie

2) NYJ loss or tie + OAK loss or tie

3) NYJ loss or tie + DEN loss or tie

sd 31 oak 25

Chargers up by only 7 now

haaawk

BABY HAWK!!!!!

hawk is awesome

Hawk!!!!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

HAWK!

Wow Hawkins nice catch!

They're making a game of it. It's nice to know they can probably get in anyway.

going to be too little too late

with the refs running interference, just like the first game vs the ravens

Need to come back and win this.

Raiders coming on like gang busters and I don’t trust anyone against Tebow.

Dalton tried to take off with it, sacked

Not looking good for Denver

only 2 1/2 minutes left

It never looks good for Denver with 2 and a half minutes though :)

well that was stupid....

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Chargers missed FG could be huge

go for the td

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

this is why i don’t like marvin

If you don't convert 4th down the games over

If you kick the FG you still have a chance

+1

i understand but i think converting 4th down has a better chance than stopping the ravens

and then getting the ball back…….scoring a TD and then converting a 2 point conversion

Was that a designed QB draw?

cuz AJ Green seemed like he was jogging into the endzone instead of running a route.

Is it possible we have so many receivers in the same area by Design?

why would you waste all that freaking time?

Piss poor clock management…

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Wasted too much time Marvin

Fucking Marvin ball again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf marvin?

sure, now all we need is a TD, which we’ve done exactly once today, and a sucessful 2pt conversion just to tie..

brilliant

If we go for the TD and miss

its game over right away. What would you rather have?

marvin is thinking about going for 2 more scores..

an 8 pt game. not good statistics on coming back here

Carson scored again

31-26

Defense needs to come up big here

yep all they're going to do is run

Cmon Defense!

CMON D STEP UP

wow this is looking bad with the raiders coming back

Crap red zone execution yet again

Dalton needs to throw it away when he needs to…then that QB draw or whatever it was against those swarming Ravens LBs isnt the right call. Gotta go big or go home!

missed field gaol was huge

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

what terrible clock management!!!!!!!!!

ahhhbhhhh

Robert DeLeon - January 1, 2012 via Android app reply

another hallmark

for Mediocre Marvin

1st and 15!

backing in

slowly, slowly.
backing in.

not good

OMG are you serious?

They give up 15 yards when they know they are running

can't stop Ray Rice

wow thinking we can stop their running game......go for it on forth down

fourth'

damn don't the Bengals know they're going to run?

Ray Rice has been destroying us today

Cmon Chargers/KC

We need atleast 1 of you to hold on here.

are you fucking kidding me defense??

How in the hell do you just let that happen?

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Good night fellas

see ya tomorrow…

Two minute warning

in Denver….Teblow will have one more chance…..Chiefs will run one more play then punt…so Teblow will get it with about 1:20 left and no time outs.

KC punting with less then 1:20 left

Tebow’s out of Timeouts

fug, a lot of time left in SD-OAK

i wish i got the KC game instead of the Cards

I don't want to see any of our defense celebrate after giving up that crap.

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Rucker?

Just make the taclke and get back into position.

Bengals out of time outs

Denver getting it back with 1:12 left no timeouts. Need a TD

Should get bad field position..

Of course who knows with Tebow!

a curse on Tebow

and all his desciples

:53 left and Denver needs to drive around 85 yards, No Timeouts

Guys, we are a minute away from a playoff berth.

If the Broncos and Teblow can’t pull off a long TD drive.

3rd down broncos

2nd and 10 Broncos

58 seconds left

3rd and 10 with :45

Denver 3 and 10 45 sec.

Need about 85 yards too

From their own 16 for Broncos

Roughing the passer on Tebow

of course

Tebow never dies, LOL

roughing the passer saves Tebow

That was the worst roughing i have seen....

it was for a hit below the knee

the “tom brady” rule

Then why not call that when someone is tackled by shoelace

Worst call, sorry

Cmon Tate

35 seconds left

2 and 10 from own 40

in spite of as crappy as we have played we still have one more shot.

JCompton41 - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Poor time management = (

Throw it up to AJ twice

y didnt he just down that

horrible clock management here

I thought he had that

All kinds of contact, no flag

3 no call on PI

oh Cmon!!!! PI!!!

apparently its legal to grab a bengal 30 yards down the field

that's pretty blatant PI...

THATS PI

Starting to look like the officials were paid off.

don't do that.

that’s weak. Complain about missed calls, two blatant ones… but now you sound like Ray whineyass-knifer Lewis

huh?

Oregonbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

whining about the refs being paid off.

I get complaining about shitty calls. I don’t believe the refs are paid to determine winners.

Oregonbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 reply

Ahh

I was following the thread on my phone and all the comments didn’t load so I couldn’t see what you were replying to.

Low Football IQ

I love this team and what they’ve accomplished but they are a dumb team.

lol the Steeler fans bought a ticket so they can Boo the Ravens

like I said

We’re getting f$&#€ed

Oregonbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

There HAS to be some way to force officials to be honest.

they need to be able to challenge the refs penalties

They’re human

Nah, he only ripped off the jersey

Oh well, still going to the playoffs. Bring on Houston for some revenge

nice no call fucking ref!

He was all over Green! This shot needs to be addresses with the league.

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

fucking refs suck

Screw the no call guys, all eyes on Houston.

Exactly

I don’t care how we got in, we got in. We have a winning record and get to play one of the weaker teams in the first round.

The young players get a ton of experience in this game and the Houston Playoff game.

Playoffs!

Why would Lewis bring Benson back in after Scott TD ???
Ball on 50 and momentum was killed.
Scott is a playmaker Benson makes me vomit

ExNFLScout - January 1, 2012 reply

I guess we should root for the Raiders now

For a potential first round pick?

Doesn't it require them to get all the way to the AFC Championship?

i think so....

Yep.

Bummed at the lost but great season Bengals

I know we didn’t beat the “BIG” boys but I am a proud fan of this team. My prediction for this season was 5-11 and I am damn proud I was proven wrong.

Refs suck

this rediculous. I hope in the playoffs when the whole country is watching the Refs don’t get away with this S*hit

Palmer with the clutch time INT.

There's the Palmer we all know and hate!

INT in the Red Zone!

Oh well at least we are in the playoffs.

Palmer just threw a pick! Haha!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I'm fine with getting into the playoffs this way...

If we lost like, 35 to 10 I’d feel like crap, but losing by 8 points isn’t really that bad.

i hope we don't get the same ref crew for next week

my God I hope not!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Yay!

Lame to lose especially with that crappy reffing at the end. But Cincy is going to the playoffs!

WHOO!

HawaiianBengal - January 1, 2012 reply

talk about a bittersweet day.

bengals got bent over by the refs all day, but they still get in the playoffs at least.

dqniel - January 1, 2012 reply

it makes sense that we would get in based on other people losing, after this season...but thank god we made it in. My mind is blown by this season....WHODEY.

WHO DEY!!!

PLAYOFFS!!!

Bring on the weak ass Texans! 1st playoff win is very promising!

I don't recall ever seeing, collectively

a worse performing group of playoff candidates than this year’s Oakland-Denver-Cincy-Jets group. They lost about 2/3 or more of their games down the stretch.

Damn you're very negative aren't you. Can't you just be happy we are in the playoffs?

Yes so many mediocre teams in AFC - which actually means Bengals have a chance

Don’t think they can beat Pitt or Balt or NE at their place but the playoff experience will be good for next year.

brisd - January 1, 2012 reply

uhhh, you're kidding right?

seahawks, ram, and 49ers just last year were all in a race down to the wire and they all had miserable seasons.

dqniel - January 1, 2012 reply

I'm ok with backing into the Playoffs

because we had realy terrible calls against the Ravens this year.

i ain

Never players get grabbed and no pi

diehard bengals fan 20 - January 1, 2012 via mobile reply

Hey peeps, we got into the playoffs and Carson Poo Poo helped!

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Well, we were already in when Denver lost, but that's icing on the cake :)

BTW, say what you want about the Bengals not beating the top teams but

We’ve hung with every team we played, except Pitt in one game.

Once this young team learns how to put teams away and gains some Playoff and Division experience we will only get better, IMO.

We will get there.

We have a great young team. No we didn’t win but we made the playoffs with a rookie quarterback and wide receiver. Suck it Carson Poo Poo and Ochostinko. These kids did just as well as our former stars.

D-Day77 - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

I hate to blame a loss on refs but comon'

We've had a few tough calls go against us when we played the top teams.

Regardless we are young, in the Playoffs, and have hung with every team(one game against Pitt we didnt’).

Lot’s to look forward to as a Bengal Fan, IMO.

How can you blame the refs? How about not letting Balt score so many points

I predicted a 9-7 finish, didn’t think it would be enough but the rest of the AFC sucks just as bad. Congrats to Bengals for overachieving and reaching playoffs.

brisd - January 1, 2012 reply

how about watching the game

Oregonbengalsfan - January 1, 2012 via iPhone app reply

LOL, when did you predict a 9-7 season for Cincy, 2 min ago?

Nobody had Cincy winning 9 games, especially a Baltimore fan

I predicted it when they were 4-2.

I don’t watch the games because 1) I am not in viewing area 2) they always lose whenever I watch live

brisd - January 1, 2012 reply

honestly do you realy think the Refs called the game evenly?

Yes, the Bengals did not play well. I give them credit for almost overcoming it.

+1

I’m not going to blame the refs, but there were a lot of blown calls. I know it’s typical to swallow the whistle on a Hail Mary, but we were on the 35 and it was an obvious PI.

Marvin should step up

For once – I’d like to see him just come out and say the officiating stinks. He can afford the huge fine. Somebody has to say it.

he's on the competition commitee

you’d think he had some sway.

+1

I also want this. It’s about time someone stands up and says something. I have always said you have to overcome those bad calls/no calls, but this last one in the end zone was absolutely pathetic. Someone in the organization needs to say something publicly, Just one time!

When someone gets a video of that no call PI at the end

will you post it?

There was definitely PI there, he had a handful of jersey and was pulling him down

but to be fair, it looked like AJ was pushing off a bit as well.

A playoff win would sure be nice

Its there for the taking, but they can’t make so many mistakes.

TheC - January 1, 2012 reply

Playoffs!!!!

All i know is I am drinking a Dogfish IPA 60 living in Pittsburgh and thinking we were rated 33 of 32 teams heading into the season. Playoff game and bonus game hell yeah
