Hang up this sign in the Bengals locker room. We are open for business! The Bengals won an enormous game yesterday at Paul Brown Stadium yesterday against their dreaded rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, while the Steelers have basically wiped their butts with the Bengals over the past decade (when they could have just used a terrible towel), they have to take notice of us now. Carson Palmer led a beautiful clock eating, game winning touchdown drive for our first win against the Steelers in 9 attempts.
Now, I must say. Pete Carroll doesn’t look that great in straw cowboy hats, but he can just keep producing football players and sending them our way. The Bengals should start calling themselves USC West because with Carson leading them on offense and Keith Rivers and Ray Maualuga pounding people on defense, we’re starting to get a taste of that winning tradition in the Queen City. Speaking of Keith Rivers, thank God he didn’t have his jaw wired after the game. He was probably wearing an MMA mouthpiece this time around so that Hines Ward wouldn’t bust him up. However, for once, the Bengals are smiling and Hines can cry his way home.
Now, we’re not a playoff team yet. We have a loooonnng way to go. The Baltimore Ravens look freaking unbelievable this year with an offense as good as their defense. But yesterday’s game was so huge. It could be a changing point for this franchise. By the way, here is the song that Chad OchoCinco had blaring over the stadium PA and in the locker room after the game. How true it is:
