Continuing in my series of predictions that are bound to be wrong, here’s a first run at the top six picks in the April 2009 draft.
1. Detroit Lions: QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia. Obviously, at 0-16 the Lions could go just about any direction here and improve. The best course of action would be to trade [...]
Now that I have established my complete ineptitude with predictions (see previous entry), here’s my take on which Bengals free agents will be back, and which won’t.
Unrestricted Free Agents:
RT Stacy Andrews - re-signed to low-money deal, spends 2009 on PUP/IR.
RB Cedric Benson - Bengals bite the bullet, give him starter-caliber RB deal prior to March [...]
Not, of course, that I need all that much help. But in the interest of maintaining accountability around this blog (I know, when there’s no accountability in the Bengals organization, why should I bother? I guess I’m just a glutton for punishment.) here’s a look back at my howler of a season prediction. You know, [...]
During free agency ‘08, the Bengals lost three players — Landon Johnson, Madieu Williams and Justin Smith — and in their final cuts released fan favorites Rudi Johnson and Willie Anderson, as well as Deltha O’Neal and Ahmad Brooks. So, how did this years’ crop of ex-Bengals fare in the final week of the regular [...]
In a classic Dead Cat Bounce, the Bengals popped the Kansas City Chiefs 16-6 Sunday to earn a winning record — 4-3-1 — over the second half of the season. That performance (as usual) likely ensures that head coach Marvin Lewis and his staff will return in 2009, despite the team’s overall 4-11-1 showing.
The same [...]
The Bengals’ 16-6 defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs today, combined with Cleveland’s loss to Pittsburgh, means that Cincinnati (4-11-1) escapes the AFC North cellar and finishes third in the division, half a game ahead of the hapless 4-12 Browns. Cleveland will now pick fourth next April, with the Bengals sliding to fifth for the [...]
Both Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh will miss the Bengals’ season finale against Kansas City today. Chad continues to nurse a hammy injury, while Housh is down with back problems.
Rookies Anthony Collins and Dennis Roland will start at left and right tackle, respectively.
Update: Here’s kingwilly’s weekly preview!
Game 16 - 2008 Bengals Season
Chiefs at Bengals, December [...]
The Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs play for the fifth time in six years Sunday. These AFC Midwest Division foes are knotted at 2-2 over the previous four games, with the Bengals famously defeating the 9-0 Chiefs in 2003 and again on opening day 2006. The Chiefs in turn trashed a 2005 Bengals team [...]
There’s been a fair amount of buzz in Bengaldom regarding a weasel-word-filled blog post by NFL.com’s Adam Schefter. First, we get a blinding glimpse of the obvious when Schefter avers that Stacy Andrews’ knee injury “could likely mean” any use of the franchise tag is off the table for him.
Could likely mean. Gee, Adam, don’t [...]
On the strength of a three interception, one touchdown game against Cleveland, Bengals cornerback Leon Hall has been named the AFC’s Defensive Player of the Week.
Hall is the first Bengal to get the nod since Brian Simmons in 2005.
