Heard on our sports radio today that Mike Brown wouldn't pay the $2500 for a two hour practice session in the UC bubble. If true, I see why fans are fed up with him.
So, do you make your rookie QB coming off an intestinal virus practice in 30 degree weather?

For those outside Bengal Nation who don't understand why Bengal fans don't fill up PB Stadium, this is one of those reasons. It's about the owner, not the team.

Mike Brown has made millions of dollars off of the Bengals, which he should of course. However, he doesnt care if they compete or not, for years Bengals fans bought the merchandise and filled the stadium to watch 2 teams under his watch make the playoffs in 20 some years. They are way behind in facilities and scouting departments. He is about making money, not making money and trying to win games.

I think he means that not even 1200 dollars would make him root for the steelers.DeyDurkie5;1039554 wrote:will you please explain what you mean for the millions of people viewing this thread?

Bengals win this game if they score TD's instead of FG's in the Redzone... Which has been their problem all season long

I'll take the bengals 23-17.
We may not have many scouts by they have drafted pretty good these last few years.

Weather was very nice here today, I was comfortable in a polo shirt. I'm sure Dalton will be just fine.georgemc80;1039525 wrote:Heard on our sports radio today that Mike Brown wouldn't pay the $2500 for a two hour practice session in the UC bubble. If true, I see why fans are fed up with him.

Doesn't Reliant stadium have a retractable roof and more than likely it will be closed to maximize crowd noise. It would make great sense that the Bengals should practice in an indoor facility. But then again 2500 dollars is a lot of money to an NFL owner. /sarcasmdave;1040244 wrote:Weather was very nice here today, I was comfortable in a polo shirt. I'm sure Dalton will be just fine.

Reliant does have a retractable roof and it will most definately be closed. Good luck simulating that noise outdoors.

Houston was my early season pick to go to the super bowl. That was before all the injuries and they are limping into the playoffs. I think cincy wins this one, but Houston's defense will keep it fairly close.

I will make a prediction now. Texan's win this game fairly comfortably. 24-10.
Andre Johnson's presence makes the difference. Stack the box to stop Foster and Tate, AJ will make you pay. Double AJ and Dreesen and Daniels will hurt you. Offensively, the player that will shock the Bengal defense is James Casey.
The crowd will induce a minimum of 4 penalties. (false starts and delays)
The Texan defense will own the day.
The only advantage I will give the Bengals is AJ Green vs. Jonathan Joseph. (of course Joseph rested last week and is healthy again)

I don't know about that Joseph is going to be 1st team All pro this year he has had a very,very good year as has AJ I would call it a wash.georgemc80;1040961 wrote:I will make a prediction now. Texan's win this game fairly comfortably. 24-10.

Reliant is natural grass, why would they want to go practice in a bubble on turf rather than be right next to all their facilites practicing on grass? They've already played at Seattle, Denver, and Pitt. All 3 of those places are probably louder than Houston. It's not like Dalton has never played in a big game, he's started just as many games at Reliant as Yates has.Skyhook79;1040273 wrote:Doesn't Reliant stadium have a retractable roof and more than likely it will be closed to maximize crowd noise.

Gotta go for the Bengals in this one. If the Steelers win I'd rather they play on Sunday against the Ravens because of the extra rest.
But I think Houston will win. First home playoff game for the Texans. Foster will be the catalyst.

I think the Bengals must get off to a good start.
1st playoff game at Reliant will be loud.

I picked Houston in my pick ems league but I think Cincy may take it. I mostly picked Houston because everyone else did and I cant afford to get behind a game. Ha

I'm taking Bengals by a FG and of course goes down to the last play of game to determine winner. Hard to believe 21 years ago to this day since last playoff win. If I knew that 21 years ago I could have saved myself a lot of wasted time watching them on TV since then.

No way did I imagine coming into the year that we'd be playing on Wild Card Weekend.... This young team has fought through injuries, losing Leon Hall, Dunlap, Green & others for games or the season. Along w/ a total team makeover in losing the teams franchise QB, WR, another potential HOF WR & the teams best shutdown Corner to other teams in a lockout shortened off-season.
Seeing something like a 17-13, 24-20 type of score & hopefully in the Bengals favor
WHO DEY

First playoff game in Houston since January 16, 1994
A 28-20 win by the Joe Montana-led Chiefs against Warren Moon and the host Oilers.
