Week 8 Steelers @ Bengals (L 24-13) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
One
win hasn't turned Cincinnati's NFL season around, but last week's
38-31 decision over the New York Jets has the Bengals back on the
road toward having a say in the AFC North race. A prime opportunity
is offered this week, as division-leading Pittsburgh hits town. If
the Bengals win, they'll be just a game out of first place.
The Bengals can climb to 3-4, and Pittsburgh would be 4-3. Baltimore will remain at 4-3 following a bye, and Cleveland will be either 4-3 or 3-4, after playing at St. Louis. Asked if the intensity level would "go up a notch" for the Steelers this week, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said: "We have to approach it just like another football game. But it's a division game. It's at home. They're leading the division. That being said, that's where the intensity level is. Those things are important." |

Game Thoughts I am just so upset to see my Bengals sitting at 2-5 right now. It is not even Halloween yet and we are basically out of the playoff hunt. I few things will jump out and make you say what if when it came to this came. First half, down 14-3 on the 2 yard line, 4th down and 1. We settled for a field goal to make it 14-6 even though our defense could not stop them all day and we are suppose to have one of the best offenses in the NFL. Then we kick it off, Steelers march the field and score a touchdown with 4 seconds left. On 1 touchdown pass to Hines Ward it appeared rookie Leon Hall was burned. After watching the reply you saw only 10 Bengals on the field so Hall was in one on one coverage with Ward so when Big Ben did a pump fake and Hall bit on it, it was a easy TD. What other team does not get enough defenders on the field? Chad Johnson dropped two catchable passes, one was a bomb. The Bengals will need a miracle to turn this season around at this point. With this defense I have a hard time believing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Week 7 Jets @ Bengals (W 38-31) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The
Jets have been a formidable opponent for the Bengals, winning the
last five meetings to take a 13-6 overall series lead, including one
postseason win.
The last Bengals win over the Jets was a 25-20 decision at Riverfront Stadium in the season opener of 1990, when the Bengals went on to win the AFC Central Division title. Sunday the Bengals will be looking to snap a four-game slide that has dropped them to 1-4 this season. Twice previously in head coach Marvin Lewis's tenure, the Bengals have rallied strongly after 1-4 starts. His inaugural 2003 team came off the mat to win seven of its next nine, and the 2004 team followed 1-4 with a 5-2 run. This will mark New York's first visit to Cincinnati since the 1997 season, when the Jets cruised to a 31-14 victory. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In
2006 the NY Jets made the NFL playoffs and the Cincy Bengals missed
the playoffs by 1 game. What a diffence a season makes. So far these
are 2 of the worst teams in the AFC along with the winless Dolphins.
The NY Jets are 1-5 with the Bengals 1-4. The bright side is atleast
one of these teams will get to 2 wins in week 7. The down side is
the Bengals will have to play some better football to get there. Levi
Jones and Willie Anderson will start Sunday against the Jets. So what
though, my question is can they play? Levi came off his worst game
ever last week against the Chiefs. Will he be 100%? We have to have
that offensive line set it up so we can run the football and give
Carson time to find some receivers to make some plays. Tab Perry is
now out for the year so the search continues for a third receiver
due to the Chris Henry suspension. Robert Geathers will start his
second game ever as a LB, I thought he did well all things considered
against the Chiefs. I need to see a win as a Bengal fan this week,
real bad. We all know the problems, let's overcome them starting this
week. Post Game Thoughts What a win! Trailing 20-10 at the half at Paul Brown Stadium with the boo birds out the Bengals had there backs against the wall. The Bengals did not panic and ran the football behind Kenny Watson who went off for 130 rushing yards and 3 TD's and went on to score 28 unanswered points to comeback and win a must win game. Glenn Holt stepped up as the #3 WR with 50 + receiving yards and drew a couple of key pass interference calls in the second half. The Jets had there way with the Bengal's defense in the first half but the second half the Bengal's defense put pressure on Chad Pennington and made stops. Huge win for Cincy, next up is the Steelers, who dey. |

Week 6 Bengals @ Chiefs L 27-20 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The
Bengals looked to rest and heal during their 2007 bye week, and they
return for this Sunday's Kansas City game as a team with much to prove.
Cincinnati is 1-3, loser of three straight after a season-opening
win, and needs a win to begin making up ground in the AFC North standings.
The AFC North race still is not a runaway. The Bengals trail Pittsburgh by 2 1/2 games, Baltimore by 1 1/2 and Cleveland by a half-game. And head coach Marvin Lewis has faced worse situations, only to rally quickly. His first two Bengals teams (2003-04) each started 1-4, but the '03 club won seven of its next nine, and the '04 team won five of its next seven. Said an undaunted Carson Palmer: "There's no reason why we can't win all these games coming up." The Chiefs lead the all-time series, 12-11 overall and 7-6 as the home team. |

Game Thoughts This loss really hurts the playoff chances of the Bengals football team. Now at 1-4 the Bengals will have to go 9-2 in the final 11 games to have a realistic shot at the playoffs in a touch AFC division. The Bengals are not converting on third down. We have key players injured such as Rudi Johnson, Willie Anderson, Levi Jones, Chris Perry, and that is just some offensive players. Our defense is in shambles. Having to move Robert Geathers to linebacker now because of the injuries just let's you know how bad things are in Cincinatti right now. With the 1-5 NY Jets coming to town next week maybe the Bengals can get on track with a win. We need to approach this 1 week at a time from here on out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Week 5 Bye Week |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Heading into the bye the Bengals have grossly underachieved. At 1-3, fans are rightfully disgruntle. Bottom line is for the 2007 Bengals to save the season, we need the defense to step up and overcome some injuries at linebacker. The offensive line has to give Carson Palmer time to make plays. The running game will have to improve and 3rd down conversions will have to get better. We have allot to work on, but I still have hope. As a fan, I honestly need this week off, I am disappointed about the season so far. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Week 4 Patriots @ Bengals L 34-13 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Monday Night Football |
Coming
off a pair of losses in road games decided late in the fourth quarter,
the Bengals will face what has long figured to be one of their toughest
tests of the season, a Monday night home encounter against the New
England Patriots.
And the Patriots, winners of three Super Bowls this decade, have kept up their end of the hype, bolting to a 3-0 start, including a 38-7 dismantling of Buffalo last week. No doubt about it the Bengals will have there work cut out for them on Monday night. Rudi Johnson, Caleb Miller, and Ahmad Brooks look like they will not be playing. But hey, it is Monday night at Paul Brown Stadium, anything can happen. The Bengals can win any game they play this year with our offense, and boy would this be a huge win that we need badly. |

Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Ron Jaworski and Tony Kornheiser (analysts), and Suzy Kolber and Michele Tafoya (sideline reporters) will call the highly-anticipated AFC showdown game. NFL studio coverage will begin at 3:30 p.m. with NFL Live.

scores 38 every single game with precision. Cincinnati gives up
32. It’s an ‘uh-oh’ situation for Cincinnati,
but Cincinnati can put 50 up. It’s possible this is gonna
happen.”

Week 3 Bengals @ Seahawks L 21-24 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Frustrated basically sums it up. Poor special teams play. Defense not being able to make the big stop. No running game. All of those things will loose you a NFL game very easily. On a Sunday when the Bengals came back on the road and found themselves with the lead after a Kenny Watson touchdown the Bengals where in the drivers seat. Being up with around 2:00 left in the game 21-17, the Seahawks basically had to get a touchdown. Unlike the week before against the Browns when our defense and special teams imploded on every opportunity, this game we waited until the very end to do so. Shayne Graham starts it off by kicking the football out of bounds, then the defense gives up the touchdown to Nate Burleson. This loss really hurts given the Bengals are now 1-2 with the Patriots next on the schedule. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Week 2 Bengals @ Brown L 45-51 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Coming
into the game Sunday at Cleveland against the Browns the most drama
that I thought I would face was from my pregnant girlfriend when I
went to pop the top on my first ice cold Bud Light. Yes, that was
drama considering she can not drink, but that was just the start of
things to come for week 2 of the NFL season to say the least. I was the first Bengals fan to line up and tell you I was not sold on the 2007 Bengals defense. I was not, and still not am convinced we can line up and stop a defense when we need to. Never in my worst nightmare did I dream that the Cleveland Browns lead by Derrick Anderson would put up 51 points against my Bengals. Never did I dream that Carson Palmer would lead my fantasy team with 6 touchdowns, 2 to Chad, 2 to TJ, and my Bengals loose. Bengaldom, we have a problem. Monday night against the Ravens, we barely won with 6 turnovers. This defense is going to have to earn it's stripes in order for the Bengals to make this playoff run. This loss was a big blow to our 2007 playoff run no doubt. The great news is this is week 2 of the NFL season. Let's regroup, keep our heads up, and make a run starting with the Seahawks. If we win week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks and again in week 4 against the New England Patriots, this black eye on the 2007 schedule can soon be forgotten. |

Week 1 Ravens @ Bengals W 27-20 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Week
1 in the NFL season, Monday Night Football, buckle up Bengal fans,
the 2007 NFL football season is now upon us. It is time for revenge.
Revenge for being 8-5 with good playoff implications before the bottom
falling out to go 8-8 and missing the playoffs. Revenge on the Baltimore
Ravens for taking our AFC North crown. Revenge for the lack of respect
in the media where all you hear or read is about how the AFC North
going to be a battle between the Ravens and Steelers. 2007 is the
year when the AFC North division will come back to Cincy where it
belongs, Who Dey. Prediction: 23-21 Bengal's Win |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This
Monday night's game is the biggest season opener in Bengal's history.
Why? Here are just a few reasons: Consider that the Ravens and Bengal's
have been ranked 1-2 or 2-1 in numerous published AFC North forecasts.
Note that the Bengal's have never before opened the season against
the defending champion of their division. Recall that Baltimore comes
off a 13-3 season, best previous-year finish for any opening Bengal's
foe in the era of 16-game schedules. Feel the hunger of a Bengal's
team that has chased hard for playoff wins the last two seasons but
has come up short. Be aware that Bengal's fans, frankly, aren't real
fond of the Ravens. Ponder the 29th straight sellout at Paul Brown
Stadium. And Monday, of course, feel the buzz of ESPN in town, for
the first Monday Night season opener in Bengal's history. MONDAY NIGHT COUNTDOWN, 5 P.M. ON ESPN I personally love some Monday Night Countdown on ESPN. Just wanted to let fellow Bengal fans know that it is for sure worth watching before the game against the Ravens Monday night. Highlighted below is a couple of things the will be featured on Monday night countdown. Soundtracks: Carson Palmer Fans can listen in as Countdown microphones capture the Bengal's star quarterback going through a practice in “Soundtracks.” Rudi Johnson's Car Collection Each week, Countdown will take fans behind-the-scenes and into the life of one of the key players in that night's Monday Night Football game. The debut segment will feature a tour of Bengal's running back Rudi Johnson's extensive car collection. Field Pass Countdown offers an all-access look at pre-game preparations as the players get ready for kickoff. Analysts will also breakdown the important storylines and key players before the game. |

 Tony Kornhiser knocked Chad Johnson repeatedly over the hype of this planned celebration after he wore a sports jacket with 'Future H.O.F. 20??' on the back after catching a 39-yard touchdown pass against the Baltimore Ravens in the first quarter of an NFL football game, Monday, Sept. 10, 2007, in Cincinnati. Sure, watching it live, it kinda seemed like a calm celebration. But remember, considering all the rules in the NFL about over excessive celebrations, wasn't this brilliant? I will never forget it, and would it be surprising if it is laughed about the day he gets inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton one day. Big ups Chad Johnson. |
Final
Score: Bengal's 27. Ravens 20 Wow, whoever tuned in to watch the class of the AFC North go toe to toe on Monday Night Football watched a great game. Was the turnovers by the Bengal's defense that drew up flash backs of the 2005 playoff team that was knocked out by the eventual super bowl champ Steelers after the crippling Carson Palmer injury. It was the defensive tackle Michael Myers diving interception of a tipped pass in the end zone in the last minute stopped the Ravens on the 2 and gave the Bengals their sixth turnover of the night and a thrilling 27-20 victory over the Ravens Monday night here at Paul Brown Stadium in the regular-season opener that got me thinking this defense is 1 step up from the 2005 AFC North championship team. Was nice to see the Bengals win the big prime time game. The Bengals came up when they needed to over and over again with the big play. The running game was not a factor as well as a huge Rudi Johnson fumble with under 4:00 minutes left in the fourth quarter on just 50 rushing yards. Special teams was awful. Blown plays such as a blocked field goal (Kyle Larson), and a Ed Reed punt return show that there is work to be down on special teams. The field goal game should get more in tune as the health of Shayne Graham and his hip come along. Carson Palmer missed a handful of passes in the first quarter resulting with the Bengals failing to capitalize on some key turnovers. However. when time came for fans to leave Paul Brown Stadium Monday night, they left with a feeling. A feeling that this 2007 Cincinatti Bengals football team is special. A scrappy young defense led by the likes of Robert Geathers, digging and diving to force turnovers. A team of destiny maybe on the mend for Cincinnati folks. Can you say Big Orange Machine? Next week this turnover happy defense may very well get the opportunity to feast on the highly touted rookie Brady Quinn makes his NFL debut. Who Dey 1 time, Bengal fan, Happy Monday night.

2007 Cincinnati Bengals Preseason Results |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My
thoughts on the preseason are not about our play really. I am very
upset about loosing our 2nd round draft pick Kenny Irons for the season.
Irons only had a handful of carries, but wow, did he look impressive.
Just so erie and Ki-Jana Carter like considering that Carter was also
injured in the preseason in Detroit playing the Lions on the artificial
turf. Ki-Jana Carter was never the same, I hope that Irons can come
back. I am also worried about the offensive line. Willie Anderson has yet to play, but says he will suit up for the opener when the 2006 Division Champ Baltimore Ravens come to Paul Brown Stadium for Monday Night Football to open the 2007 season. Levi Jones health is also in question for the offensive line. The Bengals did not play outstanding in the preseason, but hey, our playbook was pretty vanilla. It is not all about winning in the preseason. In 2006, the Bengals where 4-0 in the preseason and that did not even result in a playoff birth, while the winless Colts went on to win the Super Bowl. Get the picture? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2007 Bengal's NFL Draft | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| With
the 2007 NFL draft on the loom I felt as though the Bengal's needed
to address the defense with the first and second round draft picks.
With the first pick our Bengal's selected corner back Leon Hall out
of Michigan. Great pick, think about it. Last year we took Jonathon
Joseph in the first round at corner back, now Leon Hall. Arguably
the best young corner back duo in the NFL all of a sudden. With the
second round somewhat of a surprise in taking running back Kenny Irons
out of Auburn. Bengal's fans think hey, we have Rudi Johnson and former
first round pick Chris Perry. Reality is though Perry is often injured
and Rudi is gaining some mileage but I feel he can still carry the
load for the next few years. I would have liked to seen a defensive
lineman but as they say, in Marvin we trust. Another shocker was the
drafting of a quarterback in the fifth round. I just feel we need
old veterans to backup Carson, not to mention what is so wrong with
Doug Johnson? I would have drafted defense or offensive lineman here.
Here is a breakdown of our 2007 NFL draft. Round 1 Pick 18 (18) Leon Hall CB MICHIGAN Round 2 Pick 17 (49) Kenny Irons RB AUBURN Round 4 Pick 15(114) Marvin White S TCU Round 5 Pick 14(151) Jeff Rowe QB NEVADA Round 6 Pick 13(187) Matt Toeaina DT OREGON Round 7 Pick 20(230) Dan Santucci OG NOTRE DAME Round 7 Pick 43(253) Nedu Ndukwe S NOTRE DAME |

Key off season moves for the Cincinnati Bengal's |
|
Free
Agents for the Bengal's
|
 
|
| Bengal's without Chris Henry for 8 games | ||
 |
Henry
will be reinstated after the Bengal's eighth regular-season game if
he meets certain conditions during his suspension that will be monitored
closely by the Bengal's and the NFL. Those conditions include the
following:
|
|
| Bengal's first ever million dollar punter | ||
 |
The
Bengal's have signed punter Kyle Larson, one of the team’s restricted
free agents, to a one-year, $1.2 million contract. Larson becomes
the first $1 million punter in Bengal's history.
Larson is a fourth-year NFL player in 2007. He broke into the NFL’s top 10 last season in two major categories, ranking fifth in net punting average (38.6) and eighth in gross punting average (44.5). His net average was the best by a Bengal since 1995, and his gross average was the team’s best since 1998. |
|
| Robert Geathers signed to extension with Bengal's | ||
 |
Defensive
end Robert Geathers' breakout season earned him one of the biggest
contract extensions in Cincinnati Bengal's history. Geathers signed
a six-year extension Thursday that will pay him $14 million next season
in various bonuses and salary, making him one of the team's top-paid
players. He can earn $32.5 million in salary and bonuses over the
six-year deal. Incentives linked to sacks and Pro Bowl selections
could raised< the total to $33.75 million. Geathers had a $425,000
salary last season, his third in the NFL. He was a restricted free
agent after the season, and became a priority after leading the team
with 10.5 sacks. Geathers was the first Bengal to have a double-digit
sack total since Alfred Williams had 10 in 1992. The 10.5 sacks were
the most by a Bengal's player since Eddie Edwards had 13 sacks in
1983. BigOrangeMachine.com Opinion: The resign of Robert Geathers was a delightful day for Bengal's fans to say the least. With NFL bloodlines and a knack for being around the football and pressuring the QB, Robert Geathers will be a joy to watch on Sundays for Bengal fans for years to come. |
