The T.O. And Ocho-Less Bengals Beat The Chargers

[Militant X 1]

this is interesting!

soooo, no T.O. and no Ocho Cinco and Palmer and the Bengals knock the Chargers....the Chargers out of the playoffs! wow!

they are coming to M&T Bank Stadium next week riding this wave. let's hope they don't play the spoiler and the Ravens can finish them off!

The Chargers have always had a reputation with many sports columnists as a soft team, similar to the Broncos. While the Chargers are certainly no pushover, they are perceived to lack the toughness needed to win in must-win situations -- today's game against the Bengals only gave further credence to that claim.

The Bengals are always a dangerous team in divisional games, so next week should be no different from this week's game against the Browns. However, the Ravens have developed a reputation for taking of business as needed, and the Ravens won't overlook next week. They know the Bengals would love nothing more than to play spoiler, but the Ravens are also in position to finish the job they started earlier in the year in upsetting the Steelers in Pittsburgh. If the Ravens and Browns both do their part, the Steelers will be knocked off their throne and a new champion will be crowned heading into the postseason.

As long as our running game continues to be successful like the last 2 games, we are good to beat any team in the playoffs.

Cindy is no joke either. We need to finish up strong and hope for the best for divisional title.

we cant just go run run pass like we have either because they are good at shutting it down when they know what we want to do. Cam is going to have to be creative an keep them on their heels. If the run is working tho keep using it to setup that play action. Flacco will bounce back from his worst game this season by defeating them at home.

Jerome Simpson and Palmer played out of their minds.

I don't see them doing it 2 weeks straight though.

Seeing how they did yesterday without Batman & Robin, I think the Bengals may see that as a opportunity to trade Chad Johnson and get some value out of him(it would be even funnier if they trade him to a team where 85 is occupied lol) and draft AJ Green.

With only one year left on his contract, the Bengals will likely simply cut Chad.

Did this really surprise anyone? Chad and T.O. are always barking at Palmer. I'm sure (though he'd never admit it) he is feeling a certain relief and freedom with them out of the line up. No diva egos to have to indulge. No whining in his ear after every incomplete pass. He can go out and play the game without the added stress.

Like Franchise said, the Chargers are known for not being able to get business done. They've imploded year after year in the AFC West, whether during the regular season, or playoffs. Remember the Freezer Bowl in '81 between these two?
