A Bengal and Giant Invade Fansided
The Landry Hat | A Blog For Dallas Cowboys Fans — The NFL fansided network has added two new blogs this week. A jolly Ho Ho to Bo Vandy at stripehype.com and Neil at gmenhq.com. Neil is a die-hard Giants fan from Southern Connecticut, but he goes to college in Cheaterville, Massachusetts, home to the New England Cheatriots fans. He’s a journalist like me, and has some strong blogging experience. I cannot stand his team, his coach or his players. I do like him, though. But I can’t be too nice to him here. I just want to say I respect him, but his team is dead meat for many years to come. And Jeremy Shockey is a little ...

Two New Sites
Just Blog Baby | An Oakland Raiders Blog — I’d like to announce the addition of two new Fan-Sided Blogs .  The first site will be dedicated to Cincinnati Bungals Bengals fans.  I gotta take a shot at a team that’s signed more felons in the last three years than the Raiders have in the last 40.  I don’t even want to think about how opposing fans and critics would’ve attacked the Oakland Raiders franchise if they were the ones who signed the miscreants I speak of.  Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson are too good to be apart of such a mediocre team.  I like what the Bengals were doing a couple years ...

Why the Bengals you ask? Because in 1989 as a young child, Bo was enamored with the striped helmets, and player names like Boomer and Ickey . Since then Bo has had to suffer through miserable season after miserable season, but has remained loyal, to a fault. You can ...

I have a lot of confidence in our linebackers getting better.” The LBs were good against the run and better than past linebackers on this team, but they still did not make enough plays. all of the LBs combined finished the season with 3 sacks 2 Ints, and 1 FF. That’s pretty pathetic to finish the season with such low numbers. Heck Dhani Stinkin Jones forced more fumbles on the Bengals than all of the Eagles LBs combined. Johnson better pray they get better. Johnson ...

Lewis set the record with 295 yards, surpassing Cincinnati Bengals running back Corey Dillon’s record of I’m-going-to-say-about-270-some-yards (please correct me). Breaking a hallowed record by 20-some yards is pretty good. If Peterson “smashed” or “crushed” Lewis’ record he must have really done a number on it. Oh wait, he rushed for 296 yards. One more measly yard. DirecTV must be rather desperate to introduce these types of exaggerations into their commercials. ...

According to coaches, Jackson is supposed to be the third-down back, but has shown trouble picking up the blitz in practice and in Monday’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals.  Herron and Morency have both shown they can pick up the blitz, but their overall skill set is not near Jackson’s.  Herron missed all of 2007 with a knee injury while Morency was primarily a pass blocker in 2007.  I did not expect Herron to be re-signed this offseason, but Ted Thompson sees something in him. ...

Booty bandwagon (everything with “Booty” in front of it naturally becomes dirty doesn’t it?).  Bollinger would’ve given you a tiny bit more insurance behind Tarvaris Jackson and Gus Frerotte, but even with him on the roster, it’s likely the team would’ve fished around for someone else in the event their top 2 QBs went down.  Booty is a project at best.

What Were They Thinking?
Inside the Iggles | A Philadelphia Eagles Blog — ... Zorn is such a bonehead, but earlier in the season I thought this guy was pretty sharp. He would stay committed to the run even when trailing by double digits. He recognized his best player was Clinton Portis and would continue to feed his franchise back late into games. Evidently, Clinton’s bitching and moaning this week angered the seemingly calm Zorn. With six minutes left in the third quarter the Redskins had a first and goal at the Bengals one yard line, down by seven points. Common sense dictates you hand the ball ...

Browns - Bengals: the Real Battle of the Titans

Eagles at Vikings
The Viking Age | A Blog For Minnesota Vikings Fans — ... The main argument in the Vikings’ favor, besides the presence of Adrian Peterson who has the talent and desire to carry the team on any given day, is Philly’s propensity to mix a complete choking dog-like performance in when you least expect it.  The most notorious of these unaccountable egg-layings took place November 16 when they tied the Cincinnati Bengals and the whole world found out Donovan McNabb doesn’t know the overtime rules.  They followed this up with perhaps an even more putrid performance, losing ...

Bengals "Round Table" Discussion

I had hoped that lost seasons like this were a thing of the past, but a string of poor personnel decisions on the offensive line finally caught up with the club, and their too-clever-by-half cuts at the end of camp -- namely Willie Anderson and, if only for his ability to pick up a freakin’ blitz, Rudi Johnson -- compounded the problem. When those calls in turn ...

Cincinnati Bengals Draft Needs
NFL Mocks | Covering the 2010 NFL Draft — stripehype David Wellman from Stripe Hype and Fan-Sided Blogs weighs in on who the Bengals should be looking at in the upcoming 2009 NFL Draft. As one might expect of a team that finished last season 4-11-1, the Cincinnati Bengals are in need of upgrades pretty much across the board. The only exception is quarterback, where a healthy Carson Palmer is by all reports set to return next fall. Here’s a unit-by-unit look. Offense: The Bengals’ weakest unit is the offensive line. Left tackle Levi Jones hasn’t been completely healthy since early in the 2006 ...

The Viking Age | A Blog For Minnesota Vikings Fans — Former Bengals DT John Thornton says on his blog All Pro Blogger that T.J.

Thinking Out Loud
Inside the Iggles | A Philadelphia Eagles Blog — ... is certain to run straight at him, and test Macho deep on Sunday. If they are not up to the task, where will Reid and McDermott turn? - I can’t help but think that Alex Smith is another Matt Schobel. Schobel was a young prospect with promise when he arrived in Philly via Cincinnati in 2006. His play declined each year. Here’s my problem with Smith: He played for both Jon Gruden and Bill Belichick. If they couldn’t get him to ball, what makes you think Reid can? - Is it just me, or is Brian Westbrook’s role on Sunday being ignored? What are your realistic expectations for ...

It’s more likely, however, that the space-time continuum will remain intact and our universe will not shift into bizarro mode, meaning the Browns will end up with about 5 wins…just enough to grab third place ahead of the Bengals . Yes Browns fans, you always have that one thing to hang your hat on, don’t you?  At least you aren’t the f**king Bengals.

Dig back through the annals of pro football, my children, and you will see that it is true.  The 49ers, from 1982-1995, were in the Super Bowl five times, winning it on all five occasions. You will also note that two of those victories came against the Cincinnati Bengals .  Yes, Grasshopper, it is true:  the Bengals have actually been in the Super Bowl. And did you also know, my students, that there used to be no internet?  No, I don’t know how we survived either.  We spent a lot of time rummaging through our friends’ fathers’ Hustler ...

The game also has significance in terms of our perception of the two teams.  We thought the Packers might be pretty good after the defensive effort they mustered in Week 1 against Jay Cutler and the Bears.  Then they laid an egg against the Bengals , at home, and we wondered if maybe we didn’t over-estimate them. Coming off pounding the ...

Eagle Eye Observations: Week 6
Inside the Iggles | A Philadelphia Eagles Blog — ... was a horrific performance yesterday, I’m going to use this time to address a sentiment that has been bothering me the last few years. Why are some fans okay with dismissing this loss as the Eagles being the Eagles? The line of reasoning goes something like this: Yeah they sucked, but they do this every year. Losing to a bad team is okay as long as they bounce back and make a playoff run . WTF! Don’t people get that dropping games to inferior teams is not a good thing? The tie in Cincinnati and the week 16 loss to the ...

Fantasy Football Fiasco – Week 10
FanSided — ... ball three times for six yards. Obviously, LenDale is better off as a tub of shit. He needs a new nickname – Marion “The Barbarian” Barber has been behaving a little too civilized this season. Five totes for 26 yards is grounds for an immediate lashing. What happened to the reckless abandon running style? The bruising power? The punishing goal line plunges? Marion is playing like, well, someone named Marion. Who’s leading the AFC North? – Big Ben was toppled yet again by the mighty Bengals defense. Completing 20/40 passes for 174 yards with zero TDs and one INT would ...

10 Points: Vikings Over Seahawks
The Viking Age | A Blog For Minnesota Vikings Fans — ... Jackson’s rating from yesterday, 144.3.  Favre’s season rating is now up to 112.1, well ahead of second place Drew Brees who is at 105.8.  And Favre’s tied with Peyton Manning for 2nd in touchdowns with 21, just one behind Brees.  And he only has 3 picks, the lowest total for any QB with at least 100 attempts. 10.  And on top of it all, Antoine Winfield got to rest for another week.  Hell, let him rest this week against the Bears too.  They suck.  Save him for the Bengals and Cardinals .

Fantasy Football Fiasco: Week 11
FanSided — ... his sorry ass. I realize the Redskins boast the league’s top-rated pass defense, but 158 yards and an interception is sad. My advice to Romo: throw it to Witten; he’s usually open. Just die already – Matt Forte averaged 2.4 yards per carry Sunday night. If anyone deserves to be deep fried and served on a platter, it would be this fowl. Blame the offensive line, blame Jay Cutler. However you slice it, Matt Forte is the biggest bust in fantasy . The Cincinnati Bengals – Just when the Bengals look like contenders worthy of universal praise and ...

10 Points: Vikings Stumble in Arizona
The Viking Age | A Blog For Minnesota Vikings Fans — ... Visanthe Shiancoe’s aggravated rib cage issue.  Tyrell Johnson suffering a concussion.  Cedric Griffin getting banged up.  Bryant McKinnie and Phil Loadholt both leaving the game, forcing the Vikes to face the horror of Jon Cooper and Ryan Cook being in at the same time.  Favre banging his hand on someone’s helmet.  Who am I leaving out? 6.  The Vikings are still 10-2 and comfortably ahead in the NFC North, so obviously, there’s no cause for panic.   However, I think the Bengals game this weekend constitutes something of a gut-check.  We’ll be facing another pretty ...
