Pre-Game Thread Bengals @ Pats

[TheRainMaker]

Defense made plays in Arizona but not in Nevada. How are they going to be against the powerful Bengal offense?

Not looking good.

This was a staple of the 2008 defense.

We have to be mentally strong, not like that weak minded franchise!!! This team has historically proven to be resilient, so let's see what we can do against this Cincy!!!!!

This is true.
But until Bill helps himself giving the opportunity to beat the Bills else matters only so much.
Or at least gives the offense the opportunity to play a normal game of football (OL/OC) so the product is at least watchable and for players somewhat enjoyable.

Happy to jump on your goodwill train though..

The defense absolutely made plays in Nevada… I think that’s a ridiculous statement, to be honest. They played a very effective game against a good offense.

I haven’t seen so much disrespect for a Super Bowl runner up in the Bengals. Just when you thought the were having a hangover, they end up 10-4 and beating the Chiefs for a 3rd straight time. Still nobody cares. They are going for the #2 seed at worst and face the Bills next week for the #1 seed.

They had a pick 6 and 3 sacks. At the very minimum that is 4 plays made.

The defense was really good up until the last minute.

I’m just excited to watch the team play and put the Raiders behind them.

In the long term a win this week probably doesn’t do much but make the draft picks worse. If they win it will be fun though. If they lose they are a step closer to adding a franchise left tackle or WR1.

I would love to see Mac play well and have momentum going into next season but they would probably be more likely to win if they ran 70% of the time and abandoned the pass game other than play action.

I thought I read they had nothing to play for here on this forum??!!

Why did @FCB02062 post get deleted? It seems like he gets kick out and have posts deleted a lot. I didn't see anything wrong with what he was saying.

I haven't exactly seen that. There is a chance the Bengals may overlook NE for the big showdown with Buffalo next week in primetime. Lots of upsets have happened this year, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Bengals slipped up and NE played spoiler keeping their playoff hopes alive.

because people are too sensitive. I made no personal attacks, did not use profanity; I simply asked a question of a moderator, provided FACTS as I always do. apparently that moderator or another thought it was bannable....oh well, off to the gulag. some folks don't like inconvenient facts when they prove the point of someone they don't like

We sure miss Devante Parker he's been a good wide receiver for us can't wait to see him in the system again next year.

Resilient ... the Near York Jets would be "resilient" if they win tonight....Reslient

Winnable game; Judon wreaks havoc on Burrow and throws off their rhythm; Pats offense finds some Xmas magic and finally converts with red zone TDs and come away with a full team win to get back on track. Merry Christmas woooo

From your lips to God’s ears, though maybe a higher draft slot has more value.

There’s some history to go by. Not sure if it’s entirely relevant, though. The most recent example is actually us in 2018. After the Miami Miracle, they put up a stinker. That’s the point I wrote them off, and ended up being very wrong.

I remember that lol
