Post-Game Thread: Cincinnati Bengals (7-3) 17 - Oakland Raiders 20 (3-7)

WTF?!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!

Thats all you can say about this one….

But Andre Caldwell should not be fucking returning kicks. We have 3 RBs and scott has returned one for a td. Ugh. So fucking angry.

fire marv fire marv let Zimmer take over and choose his own staff

we are trying to work our way through a minefield called an NFL schedule and we are doing pretty damn good right now. Better than anyone would have guessed or even hoped before the year started. So lets keep it in perspective

if we had lost to the ravens and steelers this would be a good effort

 on the last drive…

damn

Because this win would have basically sealed the playoffs with the pitt and Baltimore losses.

I am terribly dissapointed in the outcome of today’s Footing-Ball competition, but I remain confident that the team fielded by the St. Paul Brown’s Reform School for Misguided Youth will learn from their mistakes and will emerge stronger for having lost in such a ridiculous fashion. Go, Bengal-Tigers! Go!

I just dont get the struggles with teams we should beat. Hopefully this game is not a replay of 2006 all over.

to be andre cacdwell to know that yoy’ve lost two games ost twogames this year

Hopefully this time learnshow to go for the juggluar before the playoffs start.

so upset cant even type…………………team

bring on the brownies

Cincy had 2 big back to back wins and then played out west….sound familiar.

I swear if they don’t fire his ass next year I’m not renewing my season tix

 i’ve been a fan since before most of you were born.
I give up.

         they always lose’’

  they will alwaly

The Bengals scored touchdowns on two of their first three drives, but managed only three more points the rest of the way. They were done in by three lost fumbles, eight penalties and a missed field goal.

The biggest fumbles were by fullback Jeremi Johnson at the Oakland 15 and poised to add on to a 17-10 lead and the one by Caldwell. Shayne Graham also missed a 37-yard field goal in the third quarter.

We-re 0 For Oakland to date. I blame the turnovers and the playcalling even late when we still had the lead. We should have used Leonard and not JJ as the change of pace. We should not have been throwing on second down with the lead in the 4th. Caldwell’s fumble may have been the icing on the cake, but JJ’s fumble gave a Raiders team who started slow in the second half new life. I will give Gradkowski credit. We may not have had one sack, but B-Grad showed the decision making skills of an actual NFL QB. He ran out of the pocket to escape pressure and threw the ball away when he had nothing.

the bengals will win the division but this lost is worst than the loss to Denver

I was looking forward to that 1st round bye

leonard didnt look like he was at 100%

We let em off the hook.

Isin’t it weird that 2 of the most improbable outcomes of the season involved Larry Johnson? He leaves Kansas City and Kansas beats Pittsburgh, and his new team, our beloved Bungles lose to Oakland? He seems to have bad energy or something. Apperently our locker room is not as strong as we thought.

By the way O line played its worst game of the season, Andre Smith should be active by now and rotating once in a while.

The person that blogs on here under the name TennBengalfan. Fuck you. You claim you’re “Done” with the Bengals…Goood bye and fuck off asshole.
Eat shit in Tennessee. The last thing Cincinnati needs is a loud mouth inbred.

Bottom line, any person that blogs on this site and says that the Bengals season is over, should be banished from this site.

Fuck you TennBengalfan.

We beat ourselves in this one,Missed Field goal after 6 attempts in the redzone,we got another shot after a roughing the passer penalty and still couldnt execute,JJ fumble..why was he running the ball? Also plays like Ocho’s false start erasing a 9 yd gain on 3rd and 1 that resulted in a failed 3rd and 6,and ultimately Caldwells fumble…just poor execution today but its not the end of the world. We will bounce back next week against Cleveland.

The guy has been pretty much clutch all year,Ok he isnt a great returner,but he was called on and on this occasion made a mistake, yes ball handling is a basic fundamental of the game but,jeez mistakes happen…trade him?whoever said that needs to get a grip. Another thing..It was good to see Ocho giving him encouragement on the sideline…anyone remember that game in 02 I think when chad let the ball go through his hands that killed the game in Indy,we all see how he bounced back after that. That moment on the sideline still gives me confidence for the season.

They have it in them to turn good teams over,we are not anywhere near the level where we can start to overlook anyone

surprised he didnt get in the game afterwards

It’s PERSPECTIVE.

Let’s look at the facts here: We’re 7-3. 1st place in the AFCN. 1 game up on the Steelers, and we hold the tiebreaker. We’re tied for 2nd in the AFC. 5 of our last 6 games are against teams that are not likely to be playoff-bound. We lost another let-down game. We’ve got a smart coach and a team that’s hungry. We’re gonna be OK. Yes, this one stings a little (especially cause I’ve got some friends that are Raiders fans that are giving me the business) but some of you fellas make it sound like we got blown out and we’re going to lose to the Browns by 40. Let’s keep our heads on straight.

Oh, noes. The Bengals slipped on a silver and black banana peel.

They are of course going to lose out and go 7-9. Give me a break. Any if you think Marvin didn’t knock some heads in the locker room? Watch the “Be a f***ing pro” speech again.

They’re going to take today’s loss out on Cleveland next week. They’ll do work.

same record and now we suck, cmon guys

Damn it all to hell. What a downer for a Sunday.

I have but one question. WHY ARE WE SCARED TO THROW THE BALL?? The Bengals were running the ball and milking clock like we had already won after we went up 14-0 in the first half.

Terrible turnovers, scared playcalling, and predictable defense.

The only good news is that Pitt choked to KC and B-More lost to Indy. Gotta find a way to get over this one quick.

God that made my day. now I care more about the Butthole Bungles losing than i do my team winning. Steelers are fine. You can have the division and lose early in the playoffs. When we get troy back it’s friggin on. This is 05 allll over again!

I’m remembering a missed block on 91’s fumble return that I think would have put him in the end zone.

Anyone?

after the 2 losses this season, the team responded with great win streaks.

When you’re 7-2, you can afford a letdown. Give our boyz a break, they played a bad game. Either Benson comes back, or LJ gets goin, which will give us our power run game back. So quit your bitchin…this loss will be a re-focus point for the team. They’re gonna be pissed and take it out on the Browns, which will be quite satisfying.

8-8? 7-9?? Seriously? So we’re gonna finish 1-5? or 0-6???? L-O-L at you, the red scratch marks where your bandwagon tatoos used to reside standout painfully.
