NFL Week 13: Keep the Cristal on ice Mercury...

[Headspace]

I saw a few questionable ranks, but I def liked what he said, obviously laughed at some...maybe the jokes kept me distracted from any idiocy. What was your beef specifically?

It's not with the rank, it's what he said.

Points scored each week: 7, 31, 23, 23 (OT), 17, 17, 45, 17, 18, 17, 16. Throw out that 45-10 win over Chicago, and their 2009 point differential is 186-164. Even the Football Outsiders guys are concerned: In their weighted DVOA rankings, the Bengals finished just 15th this week.

Cincy's underlying problem: They haven't had a big-play guy since losing Chris Henry for the season (and he wasn't exactly Randy Moss). You'd think it's Ochocinco, but really, he's more of a possession guy at this point: 773 yards, 50 catches, five TDs, only two 40-plus catches all year. And Ced Benson hasn't had a run longer than 28 yards. They're grinding everything out. At some point, they'll have to play from behind when it matters and/or make one or two home run plays in a high-scoring game … and there's no evidence they can do either.

1. If he'd watch the game, he'd realize we don't bomb it out, or really even attempt long passes, at all. It's the scheme, Lewis and Bratkowski don't want to go with the long ball because we've been able to run on most everyone and stop most everyone so far.

2.No evidence we can play from behind when it matters? 4th quarter drive to go up 7-6 against Denver to lose on miracle play by Jesus. 4th quarter drive to beat the Steelers after being down by 10 at the beginning of the 4th quarter. Last second touchdown drive against Baltimore after the Pittsburgh game to go 2-0 in the division.

Really disappointing analysis Bill.

Finally....I've been saying this guy is overrated for almost 2 years now...

Did it ever occur to you they don't attempt to throw the deep ball because he is now more of a possession WR as opposed to a deep threat?

Bill has forgot more football than you have ever known.

Edit:

Honestly, I'm in agreement. The Bengals are going to be down in the playoffs and won't be able to come back. Palmer INT while forcing the ball to Chad is almost a guarantee. 1 and done. Draft board time.

Actually, the thought of them beating Indy/Pats on the road is ludacris lol. Laughable...even.

Edit 2:

Screw it, Pitt ties them in regular season wins and then beats them in the playoffs.

When you need a big play you just bounce it off a db's head rite?

I've seen eleven more games worth of plays of cincy. I know a little more about them than he does. Chad's still beating corners, UT you're not going to rack up yards when you run three times more than you pass.

So continue to talk about things you know nothing about.

Serif, you find out if you can nab an extra ticket yet, gonna take a vacation day on monday if you can.

I will need to call my Uncle. If you come, will probably have to pay face value on the ticket, just saying.

[Tyche]

That'll be fine. What's face value for those seats?

60 dolla, not bad at all for where we sit.

I will talk to my parents and Uncle tomorrow and try to get a definite answer.

Kerrigan Vince for me prz Tyche <3

$60 is a lot of money to watch the Titans play.

$60 is a lot of money to watch the Titans play.

And but a pittance to witness the Vince in person.

[Headspace]

Can see that for free at any club that has "Mens night"

[Kyo]

Man 60 bucks can spent better in much more entertaining ways.

[Kyo]

If anything it'd be spent to watch Chris Johnson.

not with the ball in his hands!



wait, maybe I shouldn't word it like that...

Says the guy who is a fan of the Bengals. They can barely avoid blackouts with a 8-3 team or whatever the team's record is now. That is just downright pathetic.

[Tymon]

$60 is a lot to watch any NFL team. I would probably only pay that kind of money to go to a Cowboys game, and that's only because of the stadium.

I can get wasted and watch football with the same people I would be going with on a soft comfy living room sofa with a better view than I could get for $60, anyway.

Foods free, too.

Kenny Mayne, how do you do it?
