Free Bengals Replays?

2013-06-18T00:34:32Z

I had NFL Sunday Ticket last year on my 120 inch projection screen. Sadly both the program and the screen are gone. As we approach the long boring stretch before training camp I'm looking to re-watch some old games, submit some articles, stir up conversation. I'm having a hard time finding anywhere I can watch replays from last season for free. Found plenty of places for movies and TV shows, no NFL games. Is there somewhere out there I don't know about? Am I forced to pay a subscription somewhere? If anyone can point in me the right direction it would be much appreciated.

What are your thoughts on the Bengals being a part of "Hard Knocks" once again?

2013-06-16T18:42:46Z

I'd be interested to hear some different perspectives on this topic. I,for one, really enjoyed when they first were a part of the series back in 2009. That year we were coming off a disappointing season, in which expectations I don't think were incredibly high. Hard Knocks aired, I watched every minute and we marched on into the playoffs. But I would also be interested to hear the opinions of those who think it may cast a negative light on the Bengals, be a distraction, etc. What do you think?

What does Cincy Jungle think of Marvin Lewis?

I've been thinking of something to say, but no one told me how hard it was to do this for 32 sites. Wow. What have I gotten myself into?

Hello. I am ak4niner, a die-hard 49er fan. I am going to be posting this over all 32 SBN NFL sites to try to answer question that I have had for the past year or so.

How do coaches rank among fans?

I’m going to do a little twist on this though. I am not going to set up a ranking system (like I think Harbaugh is #1, blah blah blah), or have you discuss any coaches other than your own. I want to know what the fans of your team think of your coach. After a week or two (timing based off of when I can sneak away to work on this) I am going to look over all 32 fanposts I have made and use the comments to make an “expert” analysis of what fans think of their coach. (Expert meaning I use my 3 synapses to write it, and the monkeys do the editing.)

There are only two things I ask.

One, be honest. I don’t care what direction the posts take us down, but be honest. If you think your coach is the greatest of all time, say so! If you think he doesn’t even deserve to be a dog catcher, then let us know. I am going to try to not let any personal bias creep in when doing the final document.

Two, please only fans of this team comment here. I want to do this ranking based off of each team’s opinion of their own coach. I only ask this so I can save myself time generating the final document. I will filter the comments as necessary.

Thank you for your help in this.

2013 Bengals D-Line/Linebackers Preview (NFL Films HD video)

2013 Cincinnati Bengals Defensive Line and Linebackers Preview HD (via nfl390)

Here's my Bengals D-Line and Linebackers preview trailer, with video exclusively from the past season. I'm really excited for Hard Knocks later this summer, but for now this should be enjoyable.

I started off the video with some on-field sound from Michael Johnson. Just for kicks, I included a random shot of ducks walking on the Kentucky side with PBS across the river. Then the rest includes a mix of player highlights, mainly Geno Atkins and Michael Johnson, and coaches' pep talks from Marvin Lewis, Jay Hayes, and Mike Zimmer. I'm fully aware that this video is almost all D-line and only some LB (nearly all of which is Vontaze Burfict), but that's all the video I had. That also really sheds a light on how much more playmaking the D-line was overall, compared to the LBs. As usual, the NFL Films song titles and albums are in the video description. The two main songs I used are fairly well known and should be recognizable to some.

Now that the embed video function is working again, I'm posting my Bengals Running Game Preview here as well, since I was not able to do it before:

And please check out the nfl390 channel if you haven't seen the original "Play To Win" Bengals trailer.

I mentioned in my previous post that I have an idea for a Dalton to Green highlight video. That is still in progress but it will be done. It's taking so long in part because I decided to include 2011 highlights as well, instead of just 2012. I didn't previously have any significant 2011 highlights, so I've been scouring NFL.com and the internet for those.

Enjoy!

So the woman in that Adam Jones "assaulted" also works at PBS...

2013-06-14T16:08:26Z

It just came out in today's hearing that the woman was seeking a "Stay Away" order since both parties share a common workspace. I hadn't heard that she was a PBS employee until just now. That thickens the plot quite a bit I think. I'm sure Mikey is fuming at the thought of some Club Level waitress potentially costing his team a starting CB for who know how many games!! I can't wait to see how all of this plays out.

Zimmer wins every game.

Bengals cant score. Will heads roll if the Bengals do a nothing again on the Off? Are Grudens days numbered? Can Gruden put up the points with his current QB? Does Gruden have an Arm that can play fast? Or is Dalton a slow arm? I bet that Gruden does not mess around with this Dalton guy. Dalton fails time and again with the little things like keeping the ball in play. What if Dalton fails again this year. Is or can the WRs be better with a stronger arm is my question. Why does not the Bengals just say it as it is. We need help at QB!!! Dalton at QB slows everyone down. Even Green gets it. Slow QBs with below aveage arns get me down. Will the Bengals ever learn that a slow QB IS A CANCER! QB HAS TO BE FASTER THAN THE REST! Dalton is slow of arm and feet and mind. Dalton MAKES HIS TEAM MATES SLOW!!

Gresham in 2013

2013-06-13T16:44:12Z

I keep reading predictions that Gresham with have a "breakout" or career year next season. I tell ya, I don't see it happening. There is nothing to suggest that Jermaine Gresham will rise up to the next level. He's a solid player, but his talent has plateaued the last couple seasons (IMO), which is disappointing. This season I see less of Gresham and a lot of Tyler Eifert. Gresham may have fewer drops this season and hopefully some big plays, but overall, I believe his production will drop pretty significantly. Tyler Eifert is going to be the man the Bengals were hoping Jermaine Gresham was going to be.

1 Roster spot available. Who do you want?

2013-06-13T02:22:57Z

The obvious free agent for me is Kerry Rhodes. The weakest link on this team is strong safety. Rhodes is arguably the best option at that position, but the coaches seem to be fairly high on Shawn Williams.

I had another thought: What about Desmond Bishop? The Packers appear to be shopping him. Possibly trade a 4th or 5th round pick for him? He appears to be an improvement at middle linebacker. There are a couple of question marks, though. He plays in a 3-4 defense and is a free agent after this season.

What about Brandon Lloyd? A good #2 wr? I'd personally stick with the wr's we already have. Anyways, who would you want of the available players out there?

Legal Problems,.. (advice) MUST READ

Hey guy's I've got a great story and some questions..

I moved in with a crazy lady I found on craigslist... And this is the story that I sent to Judge Judy about my last few days...

I really hate that this is happening to me, but if it was somebody I knew I would be pissed for them but would think it's hilarious,.. Luckily I have an awesome boss who's helped me get back on my feet and in a new place. But I can't just let that lady get away with what she did... So I sent this letter to Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown. Ya'll are in for a treat:

"Dear judge:
I am currently a student at Troy University in Alabama, and I am staying in St. Augustine FL, for my summer internship. My father found a place for me to stay on Craigslist. He was to pay the person I was going to stay with $100 down for her safety just in case I backed out. He sent her the money and I was going to give her cash when I arrived at her address ($250). I got to her place (which is disgusting and smelled of pure nicotine and smoke) and introduced myself while she told me to hide my things because her landlord is walking by (more on that later).
I was somewhat alarmed but just thought it was a preference. Soon after, she asked for rent, I handed her $250. She said "$350", and I said I only brought what I remember you telling my dad for me to bring. She gets annoyed but doesn't do anything un-ordinary, and didn't write me a receipt immediately after asking, which also alarmed me. I take her around town (she doesn't have a car) let her get groceries and other items.
We get back and I notice she doesn't have an iron, so I go buy an iron and get back and she tells me "If you're gonna use an iron, it'll be another $5, and I noticed you left your laptop charging, that's also $5." So now I'm alarmed and call my father and explains, he calls her and she gets annoyed and turns the phone off, I got to work (first day on the job) the next day, my dad calls her to speak, and is very calm, but alarmed that he may have to pay an unreasonable price. He calls her ma'am (she's at least 50 but looks 70) too many times according to her and barely mentions the word police (just to see if I have rights), so she curses him out and hangs up.
She won't talk and she's aggressive, so my dad wants me out of this place, I talk to her on the phone and she seems fine, I say I'd like to meet at the apt, and she agrees, she wants to go away from the apt because get this, SHE DOESN'T HAVE A LEASE and she can't have sub-renters... We talk to her landlord, who hates her, her neighbors, who hate her, they all tell me she's crazy, and When I talked to her at the apt. she got aggressive and stormed off, I simply asked for $200 dollars back, just so I can perhaps find a new place and have some food money, and she says no!? She calls me later and says she will give me the money, I call her 3 times next day and leave voice mails, she calls back and goes back on her words, gives me no money. So I've had 350 dollars stolen from me, and my parents. And she is a crazy lady who preyed on a college student, Please Judge Judy/Joe, give this lady justice!"
-Trevor Long

She's truly nuts guys,.. It's taking every bone in my body not ring her neanderthal neck,.. She looks like a ferkin Geico caveman... So yeah, Do you have any advice?.. Do I have any options????

To make this Bengals related... I now don't have the money to buy a Bernard jersey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Also... Spare change?..

I didn't see another post so I'm opening the door

Should the Bengals sign Leach? I know people are liking the idea of Charles as a FB/TE but I believe this teams running game explodes if they sign Leach. He is arguably the best blocker in the league and neutralizes LBs routinely with his blocks. He could really solidify things in the backfield. Anyone remember what happened when the Bengals had Neal? The running game was near the top of the league. I think Charles is still your 3rd TE and works into packages at the FB position but we are naive to think the running game would be as good with Charles or Pressly at FB as it would be with Leach.

Let me know your thoughts and to make the word count, I'll say Dusty stop being afraid to let Chapman pitch for more than 1 inning! He averages about 12 pitches an inning. He will be fine pitching another inning or getting the third out in the eighth.

John Skelton?

2013-06-12T17:50:32Z

Hey there Bengal fans. I'm a Cards fan down over at Revenge of the Birds and I am curious as to how John Skelton is progressing. I heard he's behind Josh Johnson as backup but that was it. Also from what you've seen/heard of him during OTA's and whatnot what do you think of him?

And as a friendly gesture, best of luck this upcoming season. I believe you guys, not the Steelers, are the prime candidates to usurp the Ravens as AFC North champs.

Andre Smith Getting Fined

2013-06-12T16:44:23Z

Offensive tackle Andre Smith will be fined by the Bengals for missing all three days of mandatory minicamp according to Marvin Lewis

Smith, who re-signed with the Bengals for three years, $18 million in April, has missed all of the team's offseason workouts and didn't report Tuesday for the start of minicamp. Lewis said Smith would not attend any of the team's minicamp this week.

Lewis said it was just a "minor distraction". I'm not so sure. I'm a little concerned about his actions so far and wondering if anyone else was.

What is your "verdict" in the Pacman Jones saga?

2013-06-11T12:42:59Z

In our own court of public opinion (aka - Cincy Jungle), what side are you on in this incident? Should Pacman have reacted the way he did and strike a woman for potentially harming him? Or do the rules of behaving like a public figure (Pro Football player) always apply and one should act accordingly? Seems to be a lot of debate going on between several different threads, so thought it might be easier to wage the war on one single thread as new information continues to come out.......So what are your thoughts and whose side are you on?

Bucs were looking at Eifert

2013-06-10T23:20:36Z

While cruising the Bucs site looking for info on the Gabe Carimi trade, they got him for a 2014 6th that's a steal, they really have bulked their team up.

I came across this article.

http://www.bucsnation.com/2013/6/8/4409626/2013-nfl-draft-buccaneers-would-have-taken-tyler-eifert-in-first-round

Interesting take on who the Bucs FO regarded as draft targets especially who they regarded as the #1 T and the CB they were after, there's also a comment from a poster on Eifert which I agree with, saying they'd have used him as their #3 WR

IMO he's our #2 WR.

Child Please... 30 days to think about growing up

2013-06-10T15:40:31Z

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9360765/chad-johnson-serve-30-days-jail

I loved Chad when he was here but he did start to wear on me with his self-promotion and distractions. I wish the best for him and hopefully the next 30 days may grow him up some? He has a big heart and a giving personality that lately seems to be overshadowed by his lack of maturity. Hopefully he comes out of this a little wiser and gets his opportunity to play again in the NFL... Just not for the Bengals.
