JUMbotron Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Jets were in control of No. 6 seed with tiebreaker over Cincy on strength of victory.... but the Bengals beat Arizona to go 9-6, Jets lost to NYG to go 8-7.... NYJ at Miami (tough, tough game... Miami is playing hard, so damn hard for interim HC Todd Bowles.... ) Cincy at home vs. Baltimore (Ravens already clinched playoff spot, can they get up again to clinch No. 2 seed?)

half_hennessy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Go Bengals they need a season or 2 before they can really contend but it would be good to see them get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonsoxandy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Tebow wishes he could be the Red Rocket! Edit: In shamelessly tooting my own horn: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?show...;hl=Andy+Dalton "In my opinion I believe Dalton develops into a better QB than anyone else in this draft class. Can someone tell me why he isn't even close to being a top-10 pick, when Cam Newton and Blaine Gabbert are both LOCKS for being drafted in the top-10?" Newton has outplayed him, but I still stick by my opinion that he will develop into the best QB out of this year's class.

Bronco Billy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) DEN at 8-7 has beaten both CIN & the Jets, so if they don't win the division, if they win next week but lose the division to OAK, they would hold the upper hand in a 3-way with those 2 teams I believe. TEN is also in the mix. SD down 24-0 right now in DET is in trouble. Edited December 24, 2011 by Bronco Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 No matter what happens, 9-7 or 10-6, this team has been more fun to cheer for than any other Bengal team in a long while. Nice that they control their own destiny again, but they had that earlier in the year too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 So they dump the allegedly highly talented malcontent d-bags and bring in young kids who play hard and viola. And this without a running game. Think team chemistry means anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansFan Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 There are so many different scenarios for the 6th seed, it's insane. The Bengals have the advantage, win and they're in. However, I feel they have the greatest chance of losing of any of the teams involved. The Ravens need a win to secure the division and a first round bye, since Pittsburgh is almost guaranteed a win against Cleveland. Assuming they lose to Baltimore, they can still get in if in a head-to-head tiebreaker with Tennessee. However, if there's a three way tie involving the Bengals, Titans, and one other team (Jets, Raiders), the Titans will advance. If all four of those teams are tied, Oakland will advance. Oakland would also advance in a three way tie with the Bengals and Jets, or just head to head with the Bengals. This is, of course, assuming Denver beats Kansas City to win the division. If they lose and Oakland wins, granting them the division win, we're back to Bengals/Jets/Titans. tl;dr - It's a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardway Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Regardless of whether they make it to the playoffs this season, Cincy has really put together a solid foundation to build from. If they don't make a move, I think they are going to be force next season. If they get someone with a little more skill than Benson to run the ball, look out!

Sox Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yeah, what the heck is all that about? How come the Bengals have so many unsold seats and played last week in front of a half empty stadium? Partly the economy,partly due to last season and the PR disaster press conference Mike Brown had where he announced there would be no changes to the organization.Lots of us are getting tired of his refusal to embrace the 21st century and to hire 5-6 more people called scouts,not to mention a GM that actually knows football. It was only a few years ago there was a waiting list for season tickets.I got rid of mine because of being married,and now with a baby,so my ability to throw away every other Sunday was pretty much gone,even though I still go to a game or two a year.

stevegrab Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Yeah, what the heck is all that about? How come the Bengals have so many unsold seats and played last week in front of a half empty stadium? Because the fans hate Mike Brown and think they are punishing him by not buying tickets. They act like they have one of the worst teamd in the league. This is the second time in a few years that a playoff game (or game to decide if they make the playoffs) is being threatened by a blackout. If you're a fan of say the Browns its pretty disgusting. If the fans don't start buying tickets again it will bet be a statement more about Brown than the team. In the long run it could really hurt them. PS Regarding Broncos, I'm not sure but I think BB's post was before the the AFC West results, but as of now Denver can only be division winner with a win, and cannot be a wild card (that's between CIN, TN, NYJ and OAK).

Seahawk Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) A few year back, I remember being pissed that a preseason Seahawk game was being blackout. It probably had more to do with buying two six packs a pizza and driving over to a friends house to watch it. I hope the best for Cinny fans as they have a great young and up and coming team. If they get in they could ruffle some feathers or pound some steel. Edited December 29, 2011 by Seahawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I was very lucky, and got to sit next to Anthoney Munoz for a very long dinner this summer, and got to talk a LOT of Bengals football. He was speaking as a former player that spent his whole career with the Bengals, he continues to live in Cincy, and runs several foundations and charities in Cincy. He is very much a part of the city. He was railing against the Brown family as being bad for cincinnati. The stadium deal the bengals have is HORRIBLE for the city, and the city subsidizes the team on a yearly basis. This has forced cutbacks in other city services, and cincy is not a wealthy city. He was especially not happy with the browns not reinvesting in the team and making it a desireable place to play football, both for current players and for attracting and retaining free agents. he said that the brown family gets subsidized by the city (or under threat that they would have left and held them hostage). He doesnt spend much on free agents, and does little to instill a culture of discipline and leadership in his organization. I hope that he is happy with the current season.
