I was a year old the last time the Bengals won a playoff game.
And I will be 22 for their second post season win.
By the way, the Bengals were 4-11 in 1987. Destiny?
Jets Fans
A “breakdown” of Jets Fans by the people over at TAUNTR.com. Quite humorous and they bash teams equally and unapologetically for a good laugh.

The Steelers one is also pretty funny as well:

Last playoff win we had. Wait

Our Defense is indicative of how well Benson will do on Saturday.
Our defense is nastier then yours, and we’re better on both lines. If you want to win the game you need to Force Sanchez into a couple of turnovers.
Hold on a second there, Professor...
Not to sound whiny (because after all, we do have to deal with this kind of thing twice a year every year when the Bengals play the Steelers), but the Jets O-line held and held and held and held on Sunday night…with no holding calls. Even on slow-motion replays where Al and Cris were going on and on about how great the Jets O-line is, the player they’d be harping on (usually Mangold) was holding the DT he was blocking, pulling him all the way around the pocket on passing downs and away from the ball carrier on running downs. I’m also not saying that it won’t be any different this go-round just because the game’s in Paul Brown Stadium…I’m just saying that this time, the refs might actually do their jobs.
That said, I do actually think Mangold is a stellar center and one of the best all-around offensive linemen in the league. I hope the return of Domata Peko will mitigate the effect he has on the game.

And Collinsworth....
the WR who also happened to be an ex-Bengal saying it was good defense everytime? FWIW, the NFL Network was breaking down the game the other day, the Bengals had quite a few guys that were wide open, but Carson threw the ball elsewhere, mainly medium-deep routes. Makes me think they were more interested in just testing stuff offensively than anything else.
For example, on the play to Ocho where he got busted by Rhodes there was a RB wide open in the flat about 4 yards in front of and 2 yards closer to the sideline than Ocho that would have gotten a first down easy. Gotta think Palmer makes the right read in the playoffs and not the read he was told to practice in this game.
mangold got selected to be the AFC pro bowl starter. zebras wont call much on him i’m guessing. will just have to run him over with the Tank.
HAHA
Are you kidding with the screen pass? I totally agree with you about using the screen pass but Brat and Bengals won’t even consider it.

found this while looking for nfl contests
I was looking for the best nfl postseason fantasy contests to get into and i stumbled on this site that looks pretty damn fun called FoFreePicks. They are running a great nfl contest for the postseason where you pick the games like you’re at a sportsbook in vegas. They have halftime lines, quarter lines, all the cool stuff. Just thought I’d pass on this info. Check it out. Looks like fun and so far the community has been great.
SUSAN BOYLES MOLE IS A SCAMMER
watch out boys. Just check out her profile. SB nation should ban her ass before she(he) runs through the entire league with her spamming.
check out ...
SBM’s fanpost from earlier today:
“Looking for a little action for free”
Faaaccck man, don’t click on it… unless your prepared for mass XXX popups followed by an effing littering of your directory with hella malware….just sayin ….. it’s possible
3 yards and a pile of dust
You need a correction in the Jets Summar
The phrase ‘Mark Sanchez set a franchise record with 2,444 yards passing’ probably meant to say “Mark Sanchez set a franchise record for rookies with 2,444 yards passing”. Joe Namath holds the franchise record at 4007.
