Question Of The Day: Will The Bengals Win Another Game In 2010?

CINCINNATI - NOVEMBER 21:  Terrell Owens #81 of the Cincinnati Bengals pleads his case with game offical Ed Hochuli during the Bengals 49-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Paul Brown Stadium on November 21 2010 in Cincinnati Ohio.  (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)

With a 28-7 lead and 10:10 left in the second quarter -- a 31-14 lead at halftime -- it seemed very likely that the Cincinnati Bengals would win their third game of the year on Sunday; a win that's eluded them for 58 days, dating back to their last victorious celebration against the Carolina Panthers on September 26, 2010. Little did we know complaining about Carson Palmer's performance that day, 19 completions for 195 yards a touchdown and two picks, that it would get much worse. Like team loses the next seven games worse.

Yet all signs pointed to the team winning their third game of the season against the Buffalo Bills. Instead, the team performed so poorly in the second half, that they valiantly recorded a couple of firsts. It was the first time that the Bengals allowed 35 unanswered points (or more) in a half. It was the first time in NFL history that a "team has trailed by 17 or more at halftime and come back to win by 18 or more."

Being dominated by the Bills in the second half brings up the next question. Will the Bengals win again in 2010?

Cincinnati plays in New York on Thanksgiving night against the Jets. The Bengals host the Saints before heading out to Pittsburgh on week 14. Cincinnati returns home to host the Browns and Chargers before finishing the season in Baltimore.

Will the Bengals win again in 2010?

Are we against 2010?

or will we win again in 2010? Just wondering? if it’s will we win again in 2010, I’d have to say no. We are the worst team in the NFL.

Now, to the question at hand:

Unfortunately, yes. Just enough to make Mike Brown think “Whew, the wortht ith behind uth”.

I read your other post on this

I believe your right about winning the last three, but I actually want them to lose out. Not for the draft but for the embarrassment of MB. Remember the game ball that was given to MB when we beat KC a few years back? ML said MB has put up with a lot of shat until then and he deserves it. Well, who’s going to deserve it now, on the next win?

by WHYUS!! on Nov 22, 2010 10:49 AM EST up reply actions  

Why would we want to win?

At this point we need to hit rock bottom and secure the best position in the draft to start from scratch.

by jimbasa on Nov 22, 2010 10:46 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

I don't want to lose out for a draft pick that will hold out until the season starts because Katie doesn't have any idea how to negotiate.

I want to lose out for the sheer embarassement of this piss-poorly run franchise. I want to lose out for a guaranteed new head coach and coaching staff. I want to lose out so we can move on from Carson Palmer.

I want this team to go 2-14 so the entire thing can be blown up and started from scratch.

Unfortunately, that still won’t fix the crux of the matter. Mike Brown will still be at the captain’s wheel, and his daughter will still be waiting in the wings to take over when he dies.

Edward Smith could be the only person in history that would induce more fear while at the helm.

Agreed

We probably need to start over. However, the owner is not going anywhere (unless he moves the team), so you can pretty much expect status quo. More to the original question, I doubt the Bengals will win another game this season. To do so would require them to actually PLAY a full game, which they have yet to do this year. Has anyone noticed how the Bengals never seem to make halftime adjustments, and always get burned by every other team that can and does? Seems like a coaching flaw if you ask me. “In Marv we trust” died a few years ago, but still… we stumble onward.

Oh, wait….i think they just got crushed by that bad Buffalo team.

I think they'll win vs Cleveland

The rest is 50-50, they do play well vs. Pitt and Balt. so maybe they can finish strong and give undeserved hope for next year. As long as MB is the GM then this club will never win any meaningful game.

2-14 to 4-12

bodogg has a little breakdown for thursday night.
so we can rule out the jets game as a win, here comes 2-9.

which means the bengals will have to win at least 2 of these games for a 4-12:
new orleans
@pitt
cleveland
san diego
@balt

LOL, it's over.

We don’t have much of a shot at 4-12 if you ask me. 2-14 sounds more like it, unless we can upset (yes, it would be an upset at this point) the Browns.

Maybe he does have some sort of mental retardation. Just sayin.

Your right!

This organization and this team is a freaking joke. I personally never ever go on to another teams web site and talk smack. For one, 2 winning seasons in 20 years doesn’t constitute talking smack to anyone, but I am sure that there are some morons who went on to our rivals web sites and started talking smack after last year. There are a whole lot of idiots out there. When you can beat the best, and you prove that you can beat the best, then you can talk smack. Until the Bengals win anything on a consistent basis we need to keep our freaking mouths shut. Don’t tell me what you are going to do, show me… Let your play on the field speak for itself…

How is is possible that Marvin Lewis has not been fired?

This team has obviously quit on Lewis, and after Sunday’s loss, I say that they have pretty much packed it in. They will not win another game this year. Just when we think we have perfected the art of losing, we find a way to take it to new and amazing heights.

How does everyone feel about Palmer now? I’m sure there is still some blind idiot out there defending him…

How does everyone feel about Marvin Lewis now? Do you really want this guy to be your GM and have more control? He can’t even do one job right , let alone two. The only reason why he is still here is because he knows that no other team in the NFL would have put up with him this long, and he will not get another head coaching job, so he is going to milk it for all it is worth.

Do us all a favor and turn in you resignation Marvin and take that moron Bratkowski with you.

Marvin will get another job as a HC.

Every teams owner knows who Marvin works for and knows what he has to deal with. We all knew in the back of our minds that Marvin didn’t have a shot in hell with making this team successful when he was hired. We just had a wish and wanted to believe…

i still like Carson Palmer

and i’m definately not Blind, and consider myself not an idiot. for the thousandth time, can you please detail a scenario where we are better off at quarterback with someone other than carson palmer.

Personally, you sound like one of those idiots who just places blame where it’s convenient….Carson Palmer doesn’t play defense by the way, Yes his decision making is worse than it’s EVER been, and his picks are almost always costly….but if you think Carson is the biggest problem on our team then your a moron, we have TONS of bigger issues than CP9

Looks like you took offense to my post...

Did I personally call you an idiot? You sure picked up on it like I did. I guess if you spot it you got it. If you have to come out of nowhere when no one was speaking directly to you to make a point that you are not and idiot, then you probably are.

Were 2-8, Kitna and Fitzpatrick are our former backups on horrible teams and they managed to win 2 games. We can’t win with Palmer in there so do you really freaking think it matters if he is not? I know you have a huge man crush on Palmer that you don’t want to let go, but come on? We are going to have to draft a new quarterback. And I never said anything about all of the blame being placed on him, you made that assumption yourself.

Marvin made the choice to stay here...

There are no excuses, if he couldn’t get what he wanted from Mike Brown in order to produce a winning team, then he should have left a long time ago. How smart is the guy really for sticking with Mike Brown? Would you if you were in his shoes? It says something about a person who would put up with him for this long, it says he is not very smart and if he could have done better, he would have already done it…

by D-Day77 on Nov 22, 2010 12:10 PM EST reply actions  

or it says he was coaching out the remainder of his contract

With one of the most “talented” (on paper) rosters in the NFL. He turned down the extension in the offseason b/c Mike Brown woudln’t give him what he wanted (let me know if you need those items detailed)…he’s the most successful coach we’ve had under MB, and although it was brief, he atleast brought us back to respectability for a few years….YES i think he’s gone after this year, and i don’t really care one way or another, but to insult his intelligence is pretty low (he did mastermind the Ravens D during their superbowl run) and a Coach (i don’t care who) can only do so much under Mike Brown- this was Marvin’s first HC job so if you want to rip him apart, please wait until you see him succeed or fail with his next team….

by TruWhoDey on Nov 22, 2010 12:47 PM EST up reply actions  

I could care less what he does with another team...

I care about what happens with this one. What he does or did anywhere else is irrelevant. And you are talking about a contract extension that he didn’t sign this past year, what about the other 7 years he was here? So your little details about the contract don’t really mean squat, it just means that after 8 years the guy has finally gotten smart enough to take a hike.

that Mike Brown runs this team and Marvin never had a chance in the first place. But you can’t fault him for at least trying. He actually has gotten further with gaining personnel control than any other coach. Jut saying..

bengals should fire marvin

I never liked Marvin and everybody saying that he turned around the bengals is full of S%$^. He should have been fired 3 yrs ago. any team with carson palmer could have turned from terrible to mediocre. I am tired of Hobson (from bengals website) giving this dude so much praise. Start geeting angry you complacent SOB. As for the bengals, I F(&) give up. they are terrible, we need to fire everyone on the coaching staff, including ZIMM and start fresh, trade carson for some young role players and start building a team for SB 2018. Marvin hit his peak 3 yrs ago and last year was an anomally. Mike Brown if you are reading this or if anyone wants to relay it to him why dont you just die…

You can't trade Palmer.

Nobody in their right mind would take up his contract.

The only think to do is release him after this season.

What do you do when there's no way out? Find a way to get deeper in it.
