Bengals Are "Ways Off In Trying To Reach A Sellout" Against Tampa Bay

by Josh Kirkendall on Oct 4, 2010 2:42 PM EDT in Media

The Cincinnati Reds will play their first playoff game this Wednesday for the first time since 15 years, playing in Philadelphia. They'll take Thursday off, play Friday and then use Saturday as a travel day. That means that the Cincinnati Reds will play their first home game in the NLDS on a Sunday, without an actual time determined yet.

That's the same day that the Cincinnati Bengals will trying to wipe off that awful taste after losing to Cleveland, hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And that could be a problem.

With fans disappointed in Cincinnati's showing against the Browns, with the Reds in town playing Game Three of the NLDS, there stands a pretty good chance that the Bengals may not sellout this weekend.

According to the Enquirer's Joe Reedy, the Bengals "are ways off in trying to reach a sellout". If the Bengals do not sellout by Thursday afternoon, provided there's no extension, this weekend's game will be blacked out locally.

Bengals will sellout when...

Regardless, if the Bengals sellout the Reds will. And that’s great for Cincinnati in general. I hope the Bengals get their act together with an aggressive and sagacious offensive strategy. Sometimes I wonder what Palmer is thinking when he throw that ball. You should always throw a hail mary with the intent to acquire a pass interference penalty if the receiver doesn’t catch the ball. That takes skill and I think Terrell Owens and O are capable of pulling it off. Yeah, the Bengals will sell out when their offense becomes masters of deception. LOL.

Bratkowski lacks that aggresive and killer instinct

He may go aggressive on one play, but if that play fails he is going to go conservative. He plays not to lose instead of playing to win.

Mike Brown doesn't deserve to sell out

Until he does something about the coaching problem.

I got tickets for this game along time ago.

I figured why not get tickets to a sure win? Well now it looks like I might have bought tickets to a home loss. I know were 2-2 but we don’t have a history of winning like other teams at 2-2 so I think there is cause for concern. Our front 7 on defense blow. Our O-line blows. This team is built backwards.

having the game blacked out just might be a good thing, so you wont have to see the product on the field

Palmer performance below par

How can you lose to the Browns? Palmer has been underperforming this year and it is time that Palmer lives up to the games that he cost the Bengals. Come on, get tough. You don’t get paid that kind of money and played like you don’t care. Bengals don’t even have another decent replacement. I’d get rid of Andre Smith, another highly paid no good player who only cares about his own foot.
