Did anybody besides me bother to watch the second half?  Ugh.  If that's the team that shows up this weekend, good riddance to a season that might as well have been over a week earlier.  But I don't think it will be.  Will we be better enough to make enough of a difference?  Not sure, but I expect the game should at least be a BIT more entertaining and a LOT less nauseating.

This time we have the New York Jets coming to visit our house instead of vice versa.  They do have a really good defense, but it's not invulnerable and they have now one of their best players injured badly enough that he at least will almost certainly not be at 100% on the weekend, if he even plays at all.  That improves our chances.  The offense is not as much better than ours as they appeared last time around, but I think they are a bit better.  Then again, they have guys who can drop the ball as well as or better than ours can.  So a lot depends on who screws up worse.

Time to place your bets.  Pick your player to hang your hat on, and best of luck to all.

The scoring recap post from last week is repeated here as well:

Well with such a butt-ugly puke-fest of a game, I’m glad this is not our final week of the games here. Not a single player on the entire team did anything that would count as scoring. Unless we want to give points for the jets players abusing us or Dan Coats for actually catching TWO balls in the same game… but we won’t. So we’ll head into the postseason with a completely unchanged scoreboard.

If you haven't played yet, here is a brief recap of the rules:

1) Pick one player (Make it easy on me, make him the title of your post.  Both first and last name please.) who is NOT officially listed as a QB, P, or PK on the roster.
2) An offensive score is worth one point per participant who did not pick your player.
3) A defensive player is worth 3/2/1 point per participant who did not pick your player based on if he 3) actually scored, 2) gained possession of the ball for the team but didn't actually score, or 1) allowed the Bengals to gain possession by causing a fumble (or blocking a kick) that another Bengals player recovered.  Sacks or tackles behind the line of and by themselves are not worth anything unless they are a strip-sack (1 point if we recover) or they are also a safety (3 points).
4) You score the maximum possible points for your player but only one time.  So a defensive player who forces an opponent's fumble that Cincinnati recovers and recovers another opponent's fumble at a different point in the game is worth 2x points (not 3x cumulative).
5) Keep commentary to the bare minimum please.
6) Predictions on how they will score are not required, and if you provide one they don't net you any bonus if you are right nor do they detract if you are wrong (so long as they do actually score by game rules).
7) Try to be original yet still pick somebody you think has a realistic chance to score or cause a turnover.
8) Only ONE (1) player entry per contestant, per week is allowed.
9) Deadline for player entries each week is THIRTY (30) minutes prior to kickoff.
