I just seeing that stat… Bengals have outsacked their opponents 25-14… that is a HUGE change of pace from what we’re used to seeing.

er.. just love seeing that stat. Wow, either the site is funky, my keyboard is going out on me, or (most likely) my typing skills have really degenerated.

oh, yeah. forgot we had a game this week. i hope the team doesn’t make that same mistake.

jamarcus russell almost to 4000 yards? and it only took three years? totally worth that number 1 pick.

i'm going to go america all over your ass!

Gradkowski beat the Bengals last time!

Not if you count the Cleveland game last year...

I once defended the managerial styles of Jerry Narron after a Reds loss in a bar after a long night of drinking. I wish I could say that I don't remember doing that.

that wasn’t gradkowski, it was mike carey.

Yeah I know

The coveted 4,000 yard mark, not many players make it there in their careers.

by St. Esiason on Nov 18, 2009 10:49 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

LOL. Didn't CP do that

In 2005 in one season?

Honestly, I’m kinda suprised J-Marc is actually gonna get there in three.

by Danimal, Destroyer of Worlds on Nov 18, 2009 12:25 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

He won't now

He’s supposedly benched the rest of the season. So it will take another year to reach the milestone.

didnt know CB Chris McCalister was a free agent!!! wtf!!

CB85......Collaros for Heisman

Yo Josh Kirk...

how bout a look at Larry Johnson vs the Raiders?

3 yards and a pile of dust

by Hudepohl Dey on Nov 18, 2009 10:55 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

It's updated with Johnson.

Wow.

thanks Kirk

yeah, I was thinking those would be some high numbers.

He also had 78 yards rushing in their first meeting of 2009. That brought him to 938 Rushing yards in his career against the Raiders. (also has 209 career receiving yards against them)

If he rolls out this Sunday, eclipsing the “vs Raiders 1K mark on the ground” is conceivable.

so, ditto…..Wow.

3 yards and a pile of dust

LJ

needs like 73 yards to post a total of 1,000 against the Raiders :)

by El_Danimal on Nov 18, 2009 11:56 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Anybody going to the game?

I’m sitting 16th row behind the Bengals bench…for only $49 lol! I’m looking for tailgaters…

by whodeyla on Nov 18, 2009 12:33 PM EST via mobile reply actions   0 recs

is it a sellout?

I’m in the Bay Area so this is the first time it’s affected me. Sorry to all the guys who’ve had to sweat out the home games in Cincy. Is there anyway to know whether a game is sold out other than waiting for a press release from the team?

by swebbIL on Nov 18, 2009 2:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I have no clue

Check profootballtalk over the next few days. The blackout deadline is tomorrow. And if you can still buy tickets through the team website (ticketmaster) then it’s not yet sold out. I got my tickets from stubhub a few weeks ago…

by whodeyla on Nov 18, 2009 5:51 PM EST via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

Stubhub

I bought them right after the Raiders got blown out at home by the Titans, so I knew people would be trying to unload their tickets. I’m paying less than half of face value!

One Game At A Time Fellows

  I just hope we don’t pull a “philly” in Oakland as all we’ve built up can come tumbling down.

by laibach on Nov 18, 2009 3:50 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Russell's Benched

Gradkowski it will be

by laibach on Nov 18, 2009 8:41 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I'm not too worried

since he’s throwing to Darrius Heyward-Bey (who has bricks for hands) and Chaz Schilens (who?)

"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
