Tampa Bay 14 - Cincinnati 13

[football05]

What has happened to Cincy? Is Cincy back to the old days, by saying that I mean are they going to start losing again, or was today a fluke?

I dont think they are throwing to Chad Johnson enough, but thats my opinion, I am sure Fritz will info us in whats going on?

[BelfryJustice]

The personal foul call on Justin Smith was a joke and took the game away from Cincinnati! Palmer was off today and Tampa Bay played great run defence. I guess a few excuses, but the call on Smith was terrible!

The personal foul on Justin Smith was a complete joke. Teams have been focusing on Chad, which is allowing things to open up for other players, but even so, Chad had 6 catches for 99 yards. Rudi couldn't do a whole **** of a lot, and that hurt. Mistake on defensive play calling: I think they should have loaded up the box with 7 or 8, maybe doubled Galloway, and force a rookie quarterback to make plays to beat you.

I'm too tired to think right now, but I'll have more when I get a lil rest and when I'm less angry......

Oh yeah, but Palmer did stand in, make throws, make reads, and stand tall in the pocket. They still loss, but good call about Palmer, alfus and co. (have you been right about him yet??)

Scoreboard is all I care about today bub. The Bungals are back, and in old fashioned form. Losing to a winless team. :letsparty

[alfus21]

Fritz, don't quit your day job. I don't think picking games is your strong point in life. At least you were close on this one. :)

I doubt they'll get much pressure, if any, from Tampa Bay's defense. They don't have a solid pass rushing defense, and the Bengals have a solid, middle of the pack line.

Bengals- 42
Bucs- 10

Cincy in a route.

Bengals - 45
Bucs - 14

Yea i think the Bengals will win this one big.
Cin-49
TB-14

[SEKYscout]

Oh well, win some, lose some Alfus

[-STAT-]

Unbelievable. Cant believe that the Bengals would be the Bucs first win of the season. And the first win of Bruce Gradkowskis career. Not been a good weekend for me on the football side of things.

[alfus21]

Oh well, win some, lose some Alfus

I was more or less wanting to point out Fritz, but people should have known the Bengals couldn't blow out Tampa Bay. They're just not that good right now.

[football05]

instead of Who Dey? its Where Dey at this year lol

How do you figure the Bungals are back? By the way, you were concerned with Palmer's numbers and how they weren't great when they won, but, when they lose, you only care about the scoreboard, even though Palmer looked good, that's convenient. Bottom line: If they win, you find ways to downplay it, and if they lose, you say they're suddenly the worst team in the NFL and make it out like they lost to a high school team.

Even good teams lose, it happens. Tampa Bay's really not that bad: They only lost the Saints game by 3 and that was cause Bush returned a punt all the way with 4 minutes left in the fourth, and they only lost to Carolina on a 46-yard field goal with 7 seconds left in the game. They only lost to Atlanta by 11. Baltimore blew them out on opening day, which is the only game that they didn't play close, and Baltimore's very good.

I'll admit, I was caught off guard, and assumed they'd win, but losing doesn't mean that they're not good.

Agree 100% BFritz

What has happend ! The Bengals lost to a team with a Rookie QB that played for Toledo !

Tampa played solid today, and the Bengals had some mistakes and some things that just didn't go their way. Baltimore's got the same number of losses, and they have their bye week next week, so after the Bengals handle the Panthers at home, it will be a tie for the tops in the division.

They're back Fritz. Nobody is talking them up anymore. They can't score in big situations and they can't stop the run.

I love how you said the Bungals would blow Tampa Bay out, but now you're saying Tampa isn't that bad. Why did you predict a blowout if they weren't that bad?

[alfus21]

so after the Bengals handle the Panthers at home, it will be a tie for the tops in the division.

:) :) I'll be remembering this one.

I underestimated them, plus look at the facts I stated about how they played with those other teams, you're avoiding admitting that they're not as bad as the record shows.

Halftime of the Sunday Night game, they just said they didn't agree with the roughing the passer call at the end of the game.

Buddy, go to the prediction thread. I never said they were as bad as the record shows. I said it would be a good game unlike everybody else and it was. So you're 100% wrong there.

I never disagreed with the call Fritz, it was bad, but the Bungals should have put it away before that, to where a call wouldn't have made the game.

It also wouldn't have hurt them to play some defense at the end of the game.

[PLAYBOY5]

I know someone else who WAS WAY OFF ON PREDICTIONS this week BFRITZ, so don't worry about it:)! But I do hate the Bengals, lol! Sorry!

Yeah, you're probably right....I guess my prediction was more-less wishful thinking. I do think they'll be able to correct their mistakes and pull out the next one against the Panthers....but much more closely.

[BFritz]

I guess I agree with you, but, even so, I still legitimately thought they'd pull out a win for sure

[BCF4L]

Wow. Ummmm I really don't have anything to say about this game. Stupid loss is all I know. The personal foul call at the end was terrible. They have made it to where you have to 2 hand touch the QB now. I don't know what he did that was so wrong, but apparently grabbing the QB and tackling him is illegal. Oh well, I was wrong about them losing this one. Hopefully they will get em next week.

[Pink Flamingo]

I would have to agree. The call on Justin Smith was rediculous. The NFL needs to put flags on the Qb's if they dont want anyone to hit them!

[BFritz]

Tonight, Arizona only had one win, they beat a team who had one less loss to than the Bengals prior to this weekend, does that make the Bears horrible now too??? And, the Bears had one more win, so that means that the Bengals and Bears both had the same win-loss differential to the teams they lost to. So, I guess that does make the Bears horrible.

They came back and won, like good teams do, despite having 6 turnovers.

Despite the few mistakes at the end, they got outplayed by a bad team. Take away that penalty which wasn't a penalty on Cinci, and they win. It's still the same thing

That has to be the lamest thing I've ever heard!

It was a bad call, but they lost! Get over it, and move on. The Bears won, the Bengals didn't. Get over it, and move on to next week. I can't believe you're excuses after these last two Bengals game.

I told everybody I knew you said "Palmer only fumbled because they knocked the ball out of his hands" after the Patriot drilling, and they said it was the funniest thing they'd ever heard.

Now this. Keep em' coming man. I need to keep my friends laughing.

[Disco Stu]

Fritz, that was about the lamest thing I've ever read on here and this is coming from a Bengals fan. Yeah it was a bad call, but it's fans like you that give us a bad name by making excuses like that all the time.

Get over it dude and let's just look foward to the next game and hope we can beat the Panthers.

I don't make excuses, I just try to point out that they're not as bad as the haters say.

Are you going to the game this week? Or is anybody else on here?

Disco...a TRUE Bengals fan...you're not blaming the refs or anybody else for this lose...i appreciate that in a bengals fan...

[Old school Dawg]

Pittsburgh gave the game away to the Bengals Fritz.

[Estillfootballgirl]

I Was Upset By The Loss...Thought He Should Have Had The Field Goal... :'(

[Pink Flamingo]

As Marvin Lewis said on the internet,"..I guess you have to cuddle the qb to the ground..."

[TOMCAT06]

Very suprised by this loss! Don't think itll hurtem though

[BFritz]

Very suprised by this loss! Don't think itll hurtem though

Me either, they'll be fine
As Marvin Lewis said on the internet,"..I guess you have to cuddle the qb to the ground..."

Auh ****, now Disco Stu is going to be calling Marvin saying

All of you, including alfus, criticize me when I say the Bengals give away games, and you say that the opposing team was simply better

Fritz these roughing calls are a disgrace to the game.
