Some of you are going to quickly label me a pessimist. If you've never read this blog you are unfamiliar with my salt shaker: The Bengals Decade of the 90's jaded me for ever. The Carson Palmer era almost brought me out of it. The turncoat Cali Boy did his best yellow belly move not honoring his contract. I don't want to hear that "Well it was Mike Browns fault". There were over 50 other players that honored their contracts and showed up, it's not just you and your contract Cali boy it's about the Team you let down. One day (with the help of a Ring ;))) I will bury you along with the decade of the '90's  "Bungles" from my consciousness. The 2015 Bengals are doing much to help my condition, thank you boys :)So you see I am a damaged realist, not a pessimist at all. That being said Fellow WhoDeys we take one on the undefeated chin this week V the Yellow and Black: Tomlin (Much Respect, BTW if we had him over "Sarcast...

1st let me apologize for my "few years sabbatical" from this Blog: Career change etc, not that anyone noticed, but if your reading this: thank you ! :) Yesterday's Heart stopping, hand wrenching Comeback by My Bengals: An Instant Classic ! For a few years now a dear FB friend (well, and fellow HS Alum) has  affectionately dubbed/Glossed Andy Dalton with the moniker: "Opie". Why you ask ? Probably his happy go lucky, fixing-his-cool-Ginger-hair-due-on-the-sideline, smiling and "awe shucking" 0-4 Playoff self. Well that is over ! Tonight (while watching the Bolts hopefully humble that yellow and gold team from the Burg ;) I will toast The "New" Andy Dalton/AD/The Red Rifle and ceremoniously bury the name "Opie" from my rants. Why ?: His never say die play and attitude, his "demanding a play from the sideline" when he wants the up tempo to roll. His leading of  two amazing comebacks already  (Bmore and Seattle). H...

Surprise Surprise Surprise I know it's been a while since my last post, which  wasn't because of the disappointment of MY Bengals loss, You all know I'm very loyal, but once our season is over, my season is basically over. Yes of course I watch the playoffs and Super Bowl, but with a non-analytical, fun perspective. I have no interest in the remaining  teams,  I simply watch for for the fun of it, I'm only interested in one team win or lose: my Cincinnati Bengals. It will never be easy: Pittsburgh twice/Bmore twice, Beat them and you've prepped yourself for the playoffs: Right Bengal Nation? (forget 2009, (division swept in reg season) and 1 and done to Jets, nothin but a rare a Bungle meltdown, right? Right?) So lets embrace this division and strengthen your mettle: Andy Dalton. 2012/2013 is coming! First let's take a quick look back and put a period on our final game. Losing is losing, it sucks even if it's a young team with no expectations, so watch...

Bengals.com (Old Fat Rey Rey missing the future of the Who Deys ;) The winning team they beat you ask? Why the Titans! By winning their last two games, the Houston Oil...err Tenn Titans(that was Earl Campbell old schoolish) ended 9-7 and thanks to losing to Cincy, Bengals win tiebreaker. While boringly losing to the Dirty birds in game 16 and watching Ray Rice slice up the jungle like a cat in our litte box, we backed in. But "Won Enough" And Were in! Yea...Oh sorry...YEA! We lost and we got in, not the strongest way to enter the postseason, where playoff intensity is diff than the reg season. My tweet of the power and mystery behind the magical fate ;) CincyGy   Steven S   “Tim Tebow's latest miracle: Sending My Bengals to playoffs” and CincyGy   Steven S   "I read his lips while he was Tebowing: "Please Let us lose so Steves  # Bengals  can get in the Playoffs" I'm sold now! The power of Tebow ;)" So I'm now over the dissapointme...

bengals.com Quick Thoughts: - So I was off by one game, I said 11-5 (that included beating Ravens) the game I messed up on: Texans, had it won though didn't we?  bit.ly/vcG9vZ - If Playoffs started today, guess where we (6 seed) would play: 3 seed @Texans ;) Retribution? (hard to call a playoff win for this young team on the road but it would be fun ;) - I hope Dalton doesn't get injured, you know Bmore is gonna send the farm - Simpson's flip? sweet, just a taste of the excitment this team has brought us all year ;) - Once again we beat a losing team, (9 times 9 wins)  now as i said:  bit.ly/tFmEFI  we have one more chance to beat a winner, we will either carry the "Beat losers only label" (see Reds 2010) or head into the playoffs knowing we beat a quality Defense, thats right, Flacko Offense is the least of our worries (but the D must still play one of there best games of the year! Why? Their D definitely will play huge! Nugent be ready! This could eas...

Bengals.com Well here we go again, with the win over the Rams today, the National media is talking about Cincy playoff possibilities. Thats 8 times we we have played losing teams and we have won them all. At this rate, theres only one winning team remaining on our sked that can keep us from the Playoffs: Baltiomore! Final Game at PBS. If Jets and Cincy win out, its comes down to strength of sked. From Bengals.com : »  The Bengals and Jets are tied for that last AFC Wild Card spot at 8-6 overall and 6-5 in the AFC.  But if they finish tied, ESPN.com says the Jets still hold the tiebreakers based on best winning percentage in common games. Plus, the Jets have a higher strength of victory percentage at .396-.304 Winning only against losers (the what if's loom large now: what if we had just fallen on the fumble v Texans, what if we could have sucked it up a few more minutes to beat the Steelers) is getting old, but it is what it is, and those W's are great stepping stones for t...
