mistamic with the pick...
Cincinnati had a lot of issues on the offensive side of the ball last season. Their star quarterback missed most of the season due to injury and their running game was nonexistent. Wanna know why? It was because of their offensive line. A few years ago it was one of the best lines in the league. But free agency and injuries decimated this unit and now they need help. Guess what? This year's draft is stacked deep with offensive linemen and Cincy manages to... Read Full Story
Its come to my attention, through Music City Miracles , that the title of this post should probably be Know Thine Enemy, instead of Thy. I'm not going to change it but I wanted to let you know that I am indeed aware of the discrepancy. Wow. That wasn't really necessary at all, was it? Onward... Josh from Cincy Jungle figuratively stopped by to fill us in on the Bengals. Thanks to Josh for taking the time to do this and for everyone who submitted questions. What's been the offensive Achilles... Read Full Story

The New England Patriots enter Paul Brown Stadium with a plethora of offense at their disposal that they intend to use against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. I think it is safe to say that barring a total collapse of Randy-Moss proportions (pun semi-intended), the PAtriots will visit yet again the postseason. The Bengals, on the other hand, are 1-2 and need this game in the worst way to keep up with the Pittsburgh Steelers and have a chance at a wild-card berth.
The Patriots... Read Full Story

Saturday night two teams that are long-gone when it comes to the postseason do battle at Monster Park in San Fran, as the 5-8 Bengals take on the 3-10 49′ers on Saturday Night Football. Both teams already have sights on 2008, and want to finish the 07 season on an up note.

From the diaries. -Chris Cincinnati Bengals (1-3) The Cincinnati Bengals come into this contest with the Kansas City Chiefs needing a win. Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson are obviously frustrated as noted by their sideline shouting match in their last Monday night game against the New England Patriots. Chad Johnson seems like one of those teammates that is probably great to have in the locker room when the team is winning then immediately starts complaining when they are losing. Carson...
