Hello from Bengal Country
 

Howdy Pats fans. Just wanted to stop in and say hello and that I am really looking forward to this week's game. My Bengals are being hyped like crazy right now and I am cautiously optomistic, but hype doesn't win football games.

I have been following your team for a while, they always brought me hope during the dark years of Bengal football. I was on one of your message boards the night of your first superbowl win chatting it up with your fellow fans. They were very understanding of my plight as your team went through a similar drought. That win gave me hope that it could happen in Cincinnati. That time now appears closer than ever and this weeks game will be a great measuring stick for my Bengals.

Good luck and here's to an injury free hard fought game for both teams.

Thanks, here's to a good game. Looks like the Patriots secondary will have their hands full this Sunday!

I think that the hype isnt too bad. The offense of the Bengals is simply awesome. Houshmanzadeh may be better then lots of #1's I have seen around the league. Henry is good also. And the Bengals defense does cause interceptions, so thats something to look for. I hate to do it but I do feel like we will lose to the Bengals and hopefully not get slaughtered.

I always appreciate an even-handed post from other fans. Good luck to you too. Here's to no injuries! (I hope your LBs don't do to Brady what they did to Trent, lol)

It's nice to meet a gracious fan from the opposition on these boards. I always like to see teams that were considered "jokes" by most of the media finally make it (or on the cusp of making it). The Bengals are heading in the right direction. They have a very good passing offense and a stout D (when fully manned).

Kudos for staying with your team through the lean years. Lord knows we've had plenty of them here in New England. Good luck on Sunday! :)

I hope they don't either, I hate injuries in football on any team. I appreciate the kind words. Your fans have always been a classy bunch.

As for our linebackers, just look out for out of control SUV's with vomit flying out the window and you will be okay.

Always nice to get a decent fan from an opposing team. There is alot of hype for your team but so far its deserved. I never really liked chad johnson but i am a huge fan of TJ. Hopefully no inuries to either team.

It just goes to prove that classiness begets classiness. We need more posts like this.

Thanks for the tip.

Could you give us a run down of how you think your D matches up against the evolving NE O? I think most here recognize the greatness of Cincy's O, but your D flies under the radar.

Wait, vomit flying out of LBs? We saw that last week with Patrick Chukwurah. LoL.
