The Philip cry me a Rivers led Chargers travel to PBS to take on our beloved Bengals. Chargers have won 4 in a row to sneak into the playoffs. I don't think the Bengals will lose this game. Need good Andy to show up and the defense to keep up the good work. Bengals 34 Chargers 17. Hopefully I can carry us to the Super Bowl. WHO DEY!!! Beat the Chargers!!

I remember the last time these two teams played in Cincy in the playoffs.

Bengals 31
Chargers 16


The only possible problem for the Bengals is THAT they are undefeated at home and no one is giving SD a chance in hell......sometimes that causes a problem.

Just a couple weeks ago SD went into Denver and won that "not a chance in hell" game.

The defense is definitely capable of shutting down Rivers and perhaps even Brady next week if they get the chance. The wild card of course is Dalton.

Bengals are almost unbeatable at home. They battled some serious, serious injuries the last few weeks.

Newman, Still, Eifert Gresham out and a few others playing hurt. Hopefully, they are fairly healthy this week. Newman and Gresham should be back for sure.

This doesn't even make sense.

Anyway, I think the Chargers could pull this off. They have proven they can beat good teams on the road (KC and Denver), and if they contain AJ they will be in it. The last time they played this game was a lot closer than the score. I still see Cincy winning this game though.

Like I said in another thread, hoping for some cold weather. San Diego doesn't seem like a team that would handle that well.

Not sure why you are getting butt hurt. I said cincy will probably win, but the weather won't be a factor for the chargers considering they beat a better team, in colder weather, at their stadium.

The bengals roll in this one. They paid their dues on the road the last couple of seasons and it is starting to come together.

I know NE is NE and Brady is Brady, but I think they are there for the taking. What an amazing job Belicheck and Brady did this year with that collection of stiffs at the receiving corp. They started to hit a groove when Gronk comes back and then he gets hurt again. I know it is tough to win there in the playoffs but I would not be surprised to see the bengals visit Denver for the AFC title game.

..and then anything can happen.

Next year's Bengals schedule is brutal!

@ Indy, New Orleans and NE

Host Denver and Carolina.

Mixed in with they were 3-3 in the AFC North this year.

Yeah....but the two are Denver and NE, then get stuck at Indy and NO in two of the toughest places to win.

As a steelers fan and having to play the tougher schedule in the division quite a few times in the last 15+ years....I wont shed too many tears!!!!!!
Its alright though.....the better the opponant the better the bengals and good teams usually play.

The NFL changes with the snap of a finger. One injury. One firing. You never know.

Remember last year when the Texans were a brutal opponent and the Chiefs were a cupcake? The Falcons had the NFL's best record and the Panthers and Cardinals sucked?

Not sure what's funnier.

The Bengals still need to sell out their playoff game...

or

Chad Johnson stated he would buy any remaining tickets...
