Sport Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 No way Marvin Lewis returns. I actually liked him as a coach, but it seems he's fed up with the organization and this is the last year of his deal. Also, Carson Palmer needs to figure some things out. Today he fumbled untouched with 4 mins left. Miraculously the Bengals got the ball down the Ravens 2 and from 4th and 2 Palmer missed two wide open Bengals with ten seconds left. Story of the season. What a disappointment. It's also likely that Cedrick Benson, Ochocinco, and TO will all be out of the stripes next season. That is, if there's an NFL season in 2011. anyways, this means the Bengals finish last in the AFC North so this will be their schedule next year:AFC North - Ravens 2x, Steelers 2x, Browns 2xAFC South - Colts, Jaguars, Texans, TitansNFC West - 49ers, Cardinals, Rams, Seahawksflex games - Bills, BroncosThe good news is that schedule should be a lot easier than this season's (hardest in the NFL btw) and the new coach won't have too difficult a road. I sincerely hope they promote Mike Zimmer from defensive coordinator to HC next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Oh Rrrrussellll!!!! (Oh--and you too, Chawls. )Okay, sure, after three quarters, the Saints really ain't have nothing to play for in terms of seeding. (By the way, congrats, Atlanta...they might can take it all the way.) Okay, sure, the Saints were missing some key offensive cogs. Well, so was Tampa--except that by and large NO's big cogs are definitely better than TB's. No matter, because for the three quarters that mattered to the Saints, the Buccaneers straight-up outplayed the Saints. They came in, knew what they had to do...and did it. This also bears mentioning...yes the Buccaneers now need help from Washington and Chicago, but for what it is on its own, Tampa Bay, and all those young'ns, just finished the season 10-6...on the road...within the division. The tenth win was also their first against a team with a winning record. It was a victory within the division...and against one of the league's top teams. And they did with three more rookies starting today--two of those being on the offensive line. (Let's not also forget the issues between Freeman and Zuttah--they were not synching today.) And everyone say hello to Dezmon Briscoe while you're at it. Speaking of rookies...I think LeGarrette's been touted enough...and Josh Freeman. Wow. I may despise the Steelers, but I definitely respect them...and I think we're seeing Ben Roethlisberger 2.0 developing down in Tampa. All that having been said, this team's got some things to work on moving forward. But still, when one looks back over the course of this season, who woulda thunk at season's beginning that this team would finish above .500, let alone at 10-6? A team that's started ten different rookies and just about as many sophomores. A team two years removed from a complete blow-up. A team whose oldest player and head coach are the same age. That's a little mind-boggling to think about...but the Buccaneers just pulled that off. If this is it for them this season, I can definitely say it's been one of the better ones to witness in recent memory, as for the first time since right before Tony Dungy got let go, the team appears to have a rudder again. Credit Mo-Mo for one helluva vision at the outset. Things are definitely looking up going forward./fan rant *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 As a Seahawk fan, I so want Seattle to win tonight so they get some payback against the Lambs.But, should I even feel happy if they win? I know it's a win, but god... 7-9 division champions. I don't know weather to celebrate or feel bummed out because I know New Orleans is going to smoke 'em next weekend.

GFB Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Week 17 has been a snoozefest thus far. Hopefully teams begin to pick up their play so we can have some exciting finishes to games...Part of me wants both the Giants and Packers to stumble to see the Bucs sneak into the wildcard.Oh yeah, first 4 games winning streak for the Lions since 1999!

Credit Mo-Mo for one helluva vision at the outset. Things are definitely looking up going forward./fan rantCongrats, good win today. I was worried because this is exactly the kind of game Payton's Saints teams have not played well in, like last year's final 3. Did you see that fake QB sneak on 4th and 1 that the Bucs got a TD on? Jabari Greer was fantastic last season; this year he's getting beaten like a bass drum. It also concerns me that, having handled the Rams and Seahawks easily earlier this year, the Saints could get a nasty surprise next week if they show up thinking a win is in the bag. I really hope they're above that. As for the %$(#(@$ Falcons...the bastards earned the NFC South title (though Hartley sure helped in Week 3!!) and the #1 seed, so congrats TFoA and the other Falcon faithful. I'm getting a taste of what Falcons fans went through last year watching the Saints and I have to say, I really don't care for it. P.S. As of 7:28 PM EST, NFL.com's playoff picture still shows Tampa Bay at Philadelphia next week. Nice job being on it, NFL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
