Wild Card Weekend: Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans

[DOGWARZ]

Then I guess the Pats have no chance

No, I just don't take any teams lightly in the playoffs or say they don't scare me. Any given Sunday bad luck, stupid bounces etc etc. hell the rams thought they would beat us in the sb and we thought the same against the nyg.

 

[IndianPat]

Dalton is terrible. Bengals will get killed by Denver if they win tonight

 

[The Gr8est]

Brandon Harris vs Stevan Ridley and Marcus Cannon.

Pats got the better of THAT trade.

 

[DefenseRules]

It would be fine had the game been dominated by defense. As it stands, the game has been dominated by poor offense.

This is the part that surprises me. I didn't expect much from Cincy's offense, but I thought that the Texan's offense would have been much better than this.

and I agree about Peterson. He is so easy to root for.

 

[Deus Irae]

Y'all need to stop pretending as if the Patriots are perfect and their opponent next week is just a ritual sacrifice. It's just not the case.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

This is probably the worst good game I've ever watched, if that makes any sense

 

[patsinthesnow]

LOL they burn a timeout and refuse to run it 2x in a row.

I know what you mean. I was just being a smartass.

I will take Gronk, Boldin, Jones, and Cunningham back as well for this one who missed the last one. And hopefully we get a full game from Talib, not just a half.

Jones did play something like 8 plays in that game, but let's face it that he was a shell of himself.

 

[DOGWARZ]

And you were right.

Pats beat themselves, the Rats just happened to be the other team on the field at the time.

So you can guarantee they won't " beat themselves" again?

 

[kkpat]

I think Houston may not be bad option for us. First off all, this is how they have been playing for last several weeks. They are not able to finish drives, too many penalties etc.

He is for sure...will be interesting to see how the backup does today...those wideouts are gonna be big in that game to keep those chains moving...

 

[SVN]

Of all the remaining teams the pats can play in Div round, texans have the best defense and I would rather avoid them but looks like its going to be houston.

 

[PatriotSeven]

If the Bengals score a TD here, and the Texans put the game in Schaub's hands....Denver's going to have such an easy game.

 

[Rob0729]

Anyone can beat anyone especially in the playoffs, but none of the teams they will face really scare me. The Pats are clearly better than anyone they will face next week. Are they worlds better than all three teams they might face? Probably not. Are they better than those teams? Definitely. Doesn't mean it is a guaranteed victory.

Besides, who cares what we think? We aren't playing the game.

 

[Betterthanmost]

That is the penalty that won the bengals the game.

 

[The Gr8est]

So you can guarantee they won't " beat themselves" again?

Nope, just that the Rats did not beat the Pats. Their fans were crying all week that they would lose badly, and then they've been thumping their chests for two years after the Pats handed them a win.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Not saying I'm salivating over the Texans or anything, but God I do not want Denver getting Cincinatti at home next week :nooo:

 

[The Gr8est]

Glover Quin has made a couple of gr8 plays today.

 

[PatriotSeven]

Gotta credit the Houston's D right there. Their pass defense was solid.


Wow @ Dalton missing Greene there.
