I Hate My Team

by Bengals

In the waning seconds of OT, the Bengals manage to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, beating the woeful Cleveland Browns 23-20.

The Cardiac Cats are going to kill me by the end of the season.

Gawd forbid they actually win a game by more than an RCH.

RCH? That’d be “red” on the front and “hair” on the back and you can probably figure out the “C.”

But anyhow…props to the D for some big OT stands, boos to the O for sucking wind most of the game, and a big “why the hell do you still have a job?” to Brad St. ChokesALot. OK, you made the last snap to win the game. But if you hadn’t blown two during the game we wouldn’t even have been there.

Now, pardon me while I go get drunk.

Update: Instant reax while I’m still sober enough to post ‘em:

Walker: Bengals win sets up a huge battle for first place in the AFC North division.

NFL.com: Palmer now 7-2 versus Browns.

CBS: Gamble on 4th-and-11 pays off.

Reedy: 3-1.

Cnati: Special teams stink it up.

CJ: Keep this up and we’re all gonna die.

Hobson: The Franchise comes through.

Florio: 0:07. The Bond-gels?

I think the TV angle made the last kick look closer than it was. When I first saw it, I couldn't tell if he made it or not. Thankfully, he did. I like Graham's accuracy, but I'd like to see someone with a bigger leg in stripes. When Graham does fail, it's on the longer kicks - or those that aren't even attempted because he doesn't have the range.

All I know is Shank Graham barely made the game winner yesterday and both his kicks were blocked by the nose tackle right up the middle.. I don't care if the snap is rolled back to the holder, if he gets it set up, the kicker has to make those very short ones, and Graham cracker ain't cuttin it....

I don't expect Graham back, either. They haven't been able to reach a deal for two years now so I don't think one more season is going to make a difference.

But until we get a long snapper who can actually, y'know, long snap, the identity of our kicker is of secondary concern.

I have a feeling Graham is out after this season (money) and Swank from Wake Forest will be signed.

Brad's the problem...no real ish with Shayne. Today's problems were no O at all, poor pass rush on D, lousy coverage on returns on STs. They were lucky to get out of town with a win...but WTF that rarely happens so we were due. Gotta pick it up for Baltimore.

WTH.... We have Graham and St. Louis, so who is the third stooge to round out this group?.. Enough already, Graham can't kick to the endzone, can't make pressure kicks (too many to name now as the list continues to grown), and now can't even kick an extra point or short field goal unless everything is perfect, and even the game winner almost missed... Cannnnn his arrsss along with St. Louis tonight and find some dudes off the street that can play better...shouldn't be hard.. I'm sick of it.. out

That game wore my ass out...I was expecting a blow out but about had heart attack...oh and screw you St. Louis.
