Cincinnati Bengals @ Houston Texans WC

[utahmark]

I just hope they win to shut some of you guys up. To be fair, the Texans have made it hard to argue with anything i'm hearing on this board.

Rain made it easy to make it a defensive battle. If the conditions were better, I think it would have been much worse for us.

31-10 Bengals. Just put this team out of its misery. Also, I hope the game is on Saturday so we don't have to wait an extra day to watch this team fail.

Wow this board is getting really really sad and gloomy. Before we had a good team i used to always here "any given sunday" now that we have a good team we have no shot

I'm calling bull Ellis.

When this team was bad there was plenty of griping around here. Plenty.

This is a pre-pre-game thread.

Only one guy is charged with the official pre-game thread OPs.

AH. Hard not to get confused, I guess.

[Maddict5]

am i the only one who thinks this is a really difficult game (and not just because we're playing crap)

the deja vu of the game, it being early on a saturday (and the general non-marqueness of the bengals) will mean the crowd wont be really into it so homefield advantage will be minimal.

plus the bengals are prob the most underrated team in the afc and they'll be looking for revenge. they can dominate games on the lines... and does anyone else remember that the bengals were totally outplaying us in the first half last yr until JJ's pick 6 totally swung the momentum of the game?

No you aren't.

It's a play off team.

[mridge01]

I'd rather watch Sam Houston st play for the FCS championship.

Ah, the payoff we get is a lame Saturday afternoon slot against the same damn team we played last year. Hard to get pumped for this.

I like the early Saturday slot.

It wouldn't shut those people up you know that. They are just waiting for the team to lose so they can complain. It's how messageboards of teams are. Usually when the team is winning no one can say much.

The Texans can be the first team to exit the playoffs playing at noon on saturday. What a disgusting finish of a promising season. I still say Cushing was the key loss that ended our season. The guy is a beast.

Texans can beat the Bengals. Getting past Manning or Brady is another story.

[TheMatrix31]

That would be pretty cool if we could beat Cincy and Baltimore/Indianapolis beat Denver. That would give us another home game in the AFCC if we were lucky enough to beat New England.
