Week 15: Cincinnati Bengals ( 9 - 4 ) @ San Diego Chargers ( 10 - 3 )

  Does Kaeding act like a dick after every FG?
• Citybuck

  Wow, Leon Hall plays some soft covereage. He had a really rough day getting beat deep and then playing soft letting the Chargers drive down the field to win it.
  
  
  Lets hope the Bengals can beat KC next week.

  Leon hall had a rough day. Vincent Jackson ate his lunch.
  
  Heart breaking defeat today. This team is emotionally depleted, I don't know what they have left in the tank. If they lost the last two games of the season I wouldn't be surprised one bit.
  
  The drive with the Foschi penalty, then Caldwell fumble, those things weren't happening in weeks 2-9 but now they can't seem to put it together. Oh well, one win and your are in. Hopefully they can get it.

  I know a win wasn't guaranteed, but that's 3 games now the Bengals have pissed away this year. They are going to mess around and miss the playoffs.

  In the legendary words of Jim Mora...... Playoffs?? Did you say Playoffs? How about we just win a game?
• Citybuck

  I agree, not really sure if the Bengals will win another game this year. Caldwell has had some huge fumbles this year.

  You guys are crazy. Kansas City we will beat and the playoffs are pretty much a lock. This team had a rough week, played on the west coast and damn near pulled it out. I know damn near pulled it out aint getting it done but they dont roll over and play dead. SD is a hot choice for a SB team and they needed a 52 yard fg by Nate the Dick in the last 5 secs this Bengals season is far from over. They will make it very far in the playoffs AFC Champ game at least. 4 losses to a 9-5 Denver 11-3 SD 11-2 MN and a bad loss to the Raiders 5-9.
• Al Capone

  Whats it like to play back to back playoff teams bungal fans. hahahaha!
• Al Capone

  Dont look now bungal fans, but that object in your rear view mirror is the black n gold express coming right for ya.
• Al Capone

  Wheres all the bungal fans at? Is it safe to say that you will be rooting for the Steelers sunday. How ironic. I said this last week and was laughed at.
• Al Capone

  Hopefully you end up the 4 seed and play the Steelers in the 1st round.
• Terry_Tate

  

  I'm a Bengals fan and don't care at all who wins the battle of two teams that have already been swept by the Bengals.

  Kaeding did kick a 52-yarder game-winning field goal. I love how you LOVE Chad every time he does anything, but apparently think guys on opposing teams are dicks when they do anything above and beyond a quiet, reserved celebration. Look at it this way: Kaeding's being Kaeding. He's just having fun because he loves the game.

  Please.....stop embarrassing the rest of us Steeler fans with your trash-talking of a team that's beat us twice. Our Black-and-Gold express is not catching them.....if we both finish 9-7, they have the tiebreaker. We could match up with them in the playoffs and I'd be cool with that (hell, I'd be cool with us matching up with ANYONE in the playoffs), but unless we do get that opportunity to be in the playoffs and capitalize on that, they were the better team this year. A rarity, but a reality this year.
  
  As for the game, after what the team had to endure emotionally (and because of my dislike of the Chargers in general), I was actually rooting for the Bengals today. Coming so close, but losing in such a heartbreaking fashion, after losing a teammate could have a very negative effect on their psyche. San Diego's the hottest team not located in Indianapolis right now. You got the idea they fought their asses off in memory of Chris Henry, but it just wasn't enough. That's going to be hard for this team to come back from.

  Why the Hell would we root for the Steelers next week??? It doesn't matter if we win 1 of our next 2 games we win the division. You seriously might be the most idiotic Steelers fan I have ever heard from. Pretty bad when Steelers fans are now calling you out...

  Ochocinco with 15 fantasy points yesterday.
  
  Coincidence?
• Al Capone

  voewoody, you getting a bit nervous. You seem edgy.
• swamisez

  

  I wouldn't root for the steelers over Al-Qaeda
  
  Would love another round with Pittsburgh or Baltimore, we have beat them twice, will do it again.
  
  Also, for a 7-7 team, Capone you sure are getting confident. Be careful.
• Al Capone

  Be careful what you wish for swami. You may just get it.

  Nope not nervous at all.. Beat the chiefs at home or the Jets on the road and we win the division and have a home playoff game. Doesn't matter what your seed is as long as you get in you have a chance. You guys have proved that in the recent past... However its not going to happen this year for you... so better luck next year!!

  You sure they can pull that off. I'm not. Thats why I said you should be rooting for the Steelers this week. I'm not an idiot like you say, just being logical.
• voewoody

  

  You seriously do not think they can beat the Chiefs at home who just let up 41 to the Clowns at home? That is not very logical... I mean if they can't beat one of these 2 teams they dont deserve to be in the playoffs anyway...
• Al Capone

  Steelers lose to the browns, raiders, and chiefs.
  Steelers beat vikings, packers, and chargers.
  Anything can happen in the nfl.
• voewoody

  

  Yeah no kidding.... I am pretty confident we can at least win 1 of 2 and hopefully both to get a little momentum going into January but like you just said... you never know. I will tell you one thing if they do not win 1 of the next 2 you could probably classify this as one of the biggest choke jobs of all time right up there with the Jets last year...
• Al Capone

  Bengals should be fine. I think the Steelers will handle the ravens with ease.
• Strapping Young Lad

  

  Why would Bengals fans be rooting for Pittsburgh??? They don't have to root for anyone but themselves, haha.
  
  Al Capone. This man knows his football.
• Al Capone

  Strapping Young Lady. The man? knows nothing.
