Sour Grapes in Cinci.

[plesiosaur]

While wallowing in schadenfreude in reading accounts of the Ravens' MFN performance, I came across this [url="http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120910/COL03/309100088/Bengals-humiliated-by-Ravens-Monday-night"]article[/url].

Check out some of these excerpts:

[quote]This could have been a chance to turn some national heads, away from the division-darling Ravens and their anointed "elite" QB, Joe Flacco, and toward the team in Flyover Country. Instead, it was an affirmation that the "experts" were right on the money, at least for a week.[/quote]

Check it out! Now Joe is an "anointed elite" QB and the Bengals are from the poor little flyover city of Cinci. Apparently, Balto is also the "division-darling!" Nice hyphenation, Dr. Watson.

[quote]Flacco made a brazen statement on the first play of the game. He play-faked to running back Ray Rice, then threw 52 yards down the middle to Torrey Smith.[/quote]

"brazen" yikes!

[quote]Bengals trying to stop backup QB Tyrod Taylor.


They did, sort of. Taylor led the Ravens to a piling-on field goal.
[/quote]

And of course we're "piling-on" points when we win big.



p.s. Why is "Flacco" not a recognized word by spell check on this site?

For some reason I though of Gilbert Grape when I read this?

LOL.

Those writers are just mad. They mad bro. Hella Jelly.

I hope Cincy fans realize how truly pathetic their defense is to have been shanked by a mediocre quarterback, and how dreadfully embarrassing their offense is to only have scored 6 more points than an old and slow defense that doesn't even have their best player. 44-13 is embarrassing for any team, but especially to one with such a bad defense and QB. Hang your heads in shame, because at this rate your QB and defense are the worst in the league.

Having 1 friend sucks. Experience.
Only women get migraines I guess.

"Piling on"? LOL

What are we supposed to do in that situation? The FG (after a drive by the back-ups) wasn't anything offensive.

[font=times new roman,times,serif][i]Then I guess I'm a woman. I suffer from migraines all the time. Take about 5 ibuprofen, chew on a pencil and within about 30-45 minutes it becomes tolerable. Kind of like you. [/i][/font]

Yeah, that was a lot of second team guys...for a field goal.

it didn't seem like a rant session. i don't get where you're going with this. if you want sour grapes, you'll find it on their forums not their writer's articles. the only thing thats even close to earning a "you mad?" award is division darling

Not hilarious per se, but I appreciate the humorous double entendre.

Middling tight end Dennis Pitta? I hope the rest of the NFL is that ignorant of Pitta.
