A victory at home in Sunday’s regular season finale, and the Bengals are in the playoffs for the second time in three seasons. It’s quite an accomplishment for a team that was expected to struggle mightily in 2011. For the Bengals, the playoffs effectively begin today. They control their own fate. Win and they’re in. […]

Bengals Playoff Chances: 59-Percent
December 25, 2011 by
Things change pretty quickly in the NFL. After losing to the Houston Texans, the Cincinnati Bengals held only a 13-percent chance of making the playoffs. Then, the Jets lost twice, the Raiders lost, and the Titans lost too. Now, the Bengals have a 59-percent chance of making the playoffs, according to the numbers crunched by […]
Second Take: 5 Thoughts on Bengals/Cards
December 25, 2011 by
1. My gut reaction after watching Early Doucet trip up (and the Cardinals best chance at a comeback fall incomplete) was that the Bengals got lucky, that good fortune finally smiled on our black and orange brethren. And maybe it did a little. But I also think the Bengals made their own luck by bringing […]
Bengals Survive Cards; Control Their Destiny Again
December 24, 2011 by
Thank God for Early Doucet’s two left feet. The Cardinals wide-out was mystifyingly left uncovered on fourth down with 1:11 left in the game and dashed into the end zone where QB John Skelton had lofted a perfect pass, but Doucet tripped over his own feet at the goal line, and the pass fell incomplete, […]
Bengals Up 20-Zip At Half
December 24, 2011 by
The Bengals have looked solid in the first half in Cincinnati, enjoying a 20-0 lead on visiting Arizona. They could be up 26-0, but Mike Nugent has had 2 uncharacteristic misses on field goal attempts and is 2 of 4 on the day. Andy Dalton has been productive and efficient in the first half, going […]

Report: Bengals Will Face Skelton
December 22, 2011 by
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cardinals will go with 2nd-year QB John Skelton over Kevin Kolb Saturday in Cincinnati. Per the report, Kolb is healthy after suffering a concussion last week, but will be benched in favor of Skelton, the Fordham product who has led the Cardinals to 5 wins in […]
Reggie Wayne In Stripes?
December 22, 2011 by
The Indianapolis Colts could look very different next year. Every sports TV/radio talking suit in America has been speculating for the past two months that if the Colts land the first pick in next year’s draft, they will take Andrew Luck and trade/release Peyton Manning. (Something I never, ever thought we would see.) And the […]
WDW Episode 56 – Thank You Harvey Dahl
December 21, 2011 by
The Bengals got back on the winning track this past Saturday when they finally put the Kellen Clemons led St. Louis Rams down on Sunday. AJ Green continues to show more and more promise, now if only his fellow WR’s would do the same! Don’t forget Who-Dey Weekly is now recorded LIVE each and every […]
The PBS Ghost Town
December 21, 2011 by
A team that is playing to grab a playoff berth — especially one that was universally expected to be the worst in the game this year — ought to be generating a ton of interest, right? And the Bengals are. TV ratings, radio ratings, and internet traffic for the team are all at high levels. […]
