The Bengals Deacon Report

The Deacon, by way of a report on his trip to Seattle, reminds us not to bite those cyanide capsules yet...

"I am just now really recovering from my trip out to Seattle. The rush of the whole week was so much that I never really slept much. I have posted a bit about all this in Randomville, so let's just get to the Bengals stuff here in sports

My two favorite teams did battle, and it was a joy to see. The only other thing I could of asked for is that the Bengals did not fumble that kickoff with a minute to go. I so wish they would have gone down the field and tied the game up, and then I could have watched a chance for a tie. That would have been ok with me. Now the Bengals and Hawks don't hook up for a while again, so here is my take on what I saw from the Bengals.

They went on the road in the most hostile and loud place I have ever been in, and play toe to toe with a great team. It is the NFL, and that is hard to do. All the Seahawks fans that were around me had so much respect and nervousness about how the Bengals at any time can do what they want on offense at any given moment.

Sure, there seems to be panic in this city sometimes about the Bengals, but watching Seattle local sports for the days leading up to the game, you would have thought the Seahawks were underdogs at times. The Seattle media and fan base was very concerned about the Bengals ability to put up 400 yards at will, AND THEY FUCKING DID IT AGAIN, AND LOST AGAIN.

The Bengals are banged the fuck up. They are trying to get the special teams back on track after losing key contributors like Kevin K. and Tony Stewart, among others. It is taking a bit. The Bengals D did hold the Hawks to 24 points, and after giving up 51, I would say that is something considering The Hawks Offense is way better than the Brown Stains O.

If the Bengals can pull out a win Monday night going into the by week, all should get way better in a big hurry in Bengaldome. Because that will be a week of rest, and it will be almost time to bring back Chris Perry, and Chris Henry to an offense that is still putting up crazy numbers. And just think, the Bengals have gotten off to crazy fast starts in the last few years, and then to seem to fade out, where as many other playoff teams made their run at the end of the season after a slow start. If the injury bug stays away from the Bengals and begins to take it's toll on other teams.......who knows, maybe the Bengals will roll right into the playoffs with a 2 seed in the AFC.

I got to quest field early on Sunday, and I got to make my way down to the tunnel where the Bengals came out. Got some great pics, and got to have a little halla exchange with Chad Johnson. I screamed, "Hey Chad, what kind of show are you going to give us today?"...... He looked up, gave me a smile and a node.

The Bengals and Seahawks will get to the playoffs. I promise."
