Hey all, if any of you see this game as a pk or Cincy favored, let me know and let me know which book. Got a little thing going with a couple people on a Bengals forum who said we would be 4.5 to 6 pt dogs and laughed at me 2 weeks ago when I said the Bengals could be favored. My exact quote was "The most the bookmakers can hang is 3, and if they do it gets drilled down fast to 1.5 or 2." I love being right.
Plus our predictions were implying we beat Baltimore by the way. Thanks, and if anyone needs info on Cincy let me know, I've seen every play
i caught a 2.5 and bought to 3....i watched cincy handle my ravens last week....and it wasn`t pretty....i`ll gladly take a very improved bengal team + the 3 and feel happy as a clam.....
with dillon back and kitna looking pretty damned good,with those receivers and that blitzing defense,i`m very happy....not to mention one of the best young "o" lines in the league...
marvin lewis has this club playing very good football....seattle throws in another lackadaisical performance and they`ll get smoked.....
kitna has to keep his mistakes down....the ravens dropped a few picks that could have made a difference....
but,this is a team on the come...

Yeah I think Kitna and Johnson will have a big day, Seattle has good corners, but this makes JOhnson want to burn them even more, he gets off on it. SI asked him who the best corner was he faced, he said "noone stopped me yet, so I guess nobody" or somethign to taht effect. This guy is the real deal and will end up in the hall barring injury
As I have said, I have backed The Bungles for the Division and hope they win. But Seattle is probably the most balanced Offense they have met so far. While they have short-circuited that doesnt mean they cant come good at any time. Terry should be up to steam after last week which will be an improvement on the O-Line.
I have no doubt Cincy can score as I think the Seattle Defense is over-rated, but if they play catch up I can see those horrible calls coming.
I am going to pass on the game and hope my view is wrong.

you could also make the argument that kitna knows quite a bit about holmgren`s system......looking at the hawks schedule,i`m not convinced that this is anywhere near an elite team....4 home wins(1-1 on the road...the win was at arizona)....they seem to be regressing a bit,don`t always play 60 minutes....while cincy gets better each week...and dillon is finally back...the offenses are fairly even,imo...a good back...good receivers..good offensive lines...
will hasselbeck take advantage of those cincy blitzes?...and they will blitz...the ravens had a hard time with cincy`s blitzes coming from everywhere.....maybe marvin had a leg up after being with b`more for all those years....
an interesting game....this game is 1,1.5 for a reason....

Seattle an Interesting Team because from the beginning of this season and the end of the last one people have been jet set on jumping on the holmgreen wagon. People want this team to succeed but they have not impressed me thus far. They should have lost to St louis. Damn near choked against Frisco. Theyve beaten the saints (who hasnt ) and the cardinals. Their first true test of the season exposed them for who they really are. They are indeed overrated and we have not seen them play against a team like Cincy as of yet, so there is a bit of an assumption in laying points on this hawks team facing its second test of the season on the road. Their 5 - 1 and the bengals are 2 - 4, Those are the most misleading records between two teams facing each other this weekend. Im leaning towards Cinci here.
Dillon Whining Again
Nothing new, but the timing is interesting. His bitching came right after practice today, and Wednesday is the day when most teams lay out their game-plan (or at least start to.) In all likelihood the Bengals are again going pass-heavy, despite Dillon's full recovery. Makes me lean in the direction of the over.

I think he has two years left in his contract, so he'll be out of there by way of trade in the offseason. Lewis puts up with no shit. Maybe a trade with Detroit and hope for the 1st overall pick? I also wouldn't be surprised to see Lewis sit Dillon down for a few this Sunday and give Rudi Johnson a couple of extra carries.
you think you have a slight edge and this moron throws a pall over everything......i`d call this selfish a--hole into my office and tell him that if he waives his contract,we`ll waive him....
wasn`t he injured for the past few weeks?...he`s frickin` virus on the organization...this isn`t even close to being the first time he`s cried like a frickin` baby....
who`d want a jonah like this on their roster?....and just when things appear to turning around....what a mo-mo....

Like Winbet, I backed Cincy to win the division too. Got 55-1 back in August. I'm convinced that if Dillon had been 100% for games 2-4 they'd be 4-2 right now.
MATT, I've watched some Bengals action here and there, but not alot. Just wondering, has Lewis become more aggressive in his play calling? I remember in the Pittsburgh game he was extrememly conservative, like punting from Pitts 35 a couple times with only a couple yards to a first down.
Also, are Bennett and Rudi viable backs if Dillon gets injured again, gets benched, or just flat out quits like the quitter he is? From what I've seen they're crap.
Also, how do you think the fans will react to Dillon this weekend? I think for the Bengals sake I'd rather them play one of their away games this weekend given Dillon's comments this week. I imagine the reaction will be pretty negative and will only make things worse. Man, I hate Dillon. Things finally seem to be turning around for the team and he does that. What an idiot.

Dillons remarks are very revealing when you think about it. I am now almost certain that this was the type of guy who was very content being the man on a loosing team. Breaking records and getting the ball because they had no other choice inflated his ego to astronomical proportions and he loved it. Now after three years of almost garnering himself a hall of fame ticket for the future, you would think he would be ready to sacrifice something for the good of the team...Guess not. Its guys like that that give the NFL a bad rep.
Rudi Johnson is a viable backup, the guy is a horse, he played very well against Buffalo. 16-69(17yd TD or somethign like that) but dont forget who they signed 3 weeks ago, Kenny Watson, who was bigtime last year at Washington. But reading more into Dillon, he said some of that crap, but he would come back around and say"We could do it in Cincinnati" and all this stuff.
I think the fan reception will be good for him, and I think he will be ready to and teh OLine will be pumped. I know Big Willie Anderson wants to open up some holes this weekend.
The aggressiveness has been better, I dont know what to add about that, but overall aggressiveness has been up
