Hey Josh!!!
Bengals Working out Joey Galloway Mike Doss and Ed Johnson

I liked Doss' sure tackling when we had him around last year. Wouldn't bother me a bit to have him around in the secondary on rushing downs.

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.

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.

Yo Josh Kirk...

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

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

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…

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
I'm not too worried
since he’s throwing to Darrius Heyward-Bey (who has bricks for hands) and Chaz Schilens (who?)
