As Usual, Chris Crocker Nails It

Chriscrocker_medium

Well, we are in Day Two of the post Brandon-Stokley-horse-****-miracle-reception-deflection era, and I have to say, I'm still bitter.  Very bitter, in fact.  That's why when I read things like Chris Crocker's reaction to said deflection/reception, I can't help but agree in an animated manner.  Although, I don't think I have quite the amount of emotions tied up in it like Crocker does:

Safety Chris Crocker was a little more blunt about the outcome when he said: "That play was a miracle. I'm not going to give them any credit and they didn't do anything to deserve that play. We played our butts off."

Is there a little bit of sore loser on display there? Perhaps, but put yourself in Crocker's shoes.  For the better part of three hours he and his teammates absolutely buried the Broncos.  Next, his offense finally decides it would offer some support by scoring a touchdown. 

Now he's feeling like his defensive efforts are paying off, only to watch Brandon Stokley take those ideas and urinate all over them, courtesy of doing nothing more than being in the right place at the right time.

If you take pride in what you do, a game-turning play like that would have to hurt to the point you feel like your opponent deserves no credit for their burst of fluke luck.  With that in mind, I can't imagine preparing for the Green Bay Packers is going to be easy, but if the Bengals and Crocker don't have short memories, Aaron Rodgers might throw for 400 yards against them.

yep... hit the nail on the head.

it’s what i’ve been saying the past two days. it sucks because we won the game, but we still got a loss.

if i had to guess, the defense will be more inspired against green bay. this loss won’t sit well with anybody. i bet we play better offensively too.

Watching Rodgers throw the ball..

…On Sunday night scared me. If they don’t bounce back mentally, it could be long afternoon in GB.

Definitely...

(dang…I’m agreeing with the Mildcat here! Somebody write down the date!)

“Making an ass out of me and umption” that the Bengals’ offense plays less…well, offensively this weekend, this game is going to be won and lost in the Bengals’ secondary. If they can defend enough passes to keep Rodgers’s completion percentage down in the 50s or lower, we’ve got a good chance, all other things being equal on the defensive side of the ball.

Very much agreed.

On the other hand, watching him NOT throw the ball worth a flip when he was pressured — and watching an OL actually makes ours look pretty stinking good, which is hard to do — also made me have a bit of hope.

still have faith 1 more time

lets see how they do against a team that lots of people are picking to win the NFC. if they win it could be a good year for us. but have to watch out for the injury bug. seems like when they play with a chip on their shoulder they end up with a lot of injuries. KNOCK ON WOOD!!!! BRING ON THEM PACKERS !!!!!!!!

Please

just take all the frustration from the BS at PBS and take it out on the Pack. It might even reverse part of the curse-since it was at Lambeau in 1992 that the Pack’s backup QB by the name of Bret Farve came in for an injured Don Majkowski to throw 2 touchdown passes in the final 4 min to erase the Bengals 10pt lead. It only got worse from there until 2005.

i dunno

the offense didnt play well enough to win the game, or any game. it was a fluke play which led to a loss.

and NE had a fluke play that led to an improbable win.

blah.

Poor Chris

Hasn’t been here long enough to understand that these kinds of things are the rule, rather than the exception.
