Another disappointing Sunday has the Bengals down-right reeling. After losing at home to the 1-3 Dolphins, (and a week of talk about how “angry” they were about it), the Bengals proceeded to go to Cl…
Week Five Hit List
The Bengals lost a game they couldn’t afford to lose. I know that we as fans can sometimes overreact to a loss. The Bengals made the playoffs last year at 9-7 after all, and the eventual Super Bowl …

The Bengals fell to the Ravens, 24-16 today, in a game they needed to win to secure a playoff spot. With their playoff future on the line, they were unable to stop Ray Rice, and fell to 1-7 against te…
Bengals Survive Cards; Control Their Destiny Again
