December 13, 200619 yr The Colts scare me in a way but then they don't. Indy will be fired up but so will the Bengals. The Bengals can win a shootout with this team.
December 13, 200619 yr Since Marvin took over the Bengals have been great in primetime games. I think they have only lost one primetime game in the Marvin era and that was the sunday night game @ Jacksonville.

December 14, 200619 yr http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=5765 The blueprint for beating the Colts isn’t locked away in a dusty drawer waiting for use. The five keys to winning Monday night’s national showcase in Indianapolis has been on display the last month and are embedded in last season’s loss to Peyton Manning and Co. 1. QUICK STRIKE: The Colts haven’t lost at home all season. Not only that, they haven’t lost a game at home with playoff implications since October 2004. Not only that, they haven’t lost a game at home with playoff implications by more than a field goal since October 2002. The Bengals have never trailed in their four-game winning streak and for just 7:48 of the last 20 quarters. The only stretch is since Carson Palmer fumbled the ball away on a sack with eight minutes left in the Nov. 12 game against the Chargers and running back LaDainian Tomlinson scored on the next snap on a nine-yard run. With rookie left tackle Andrew Whitworth getting the call against Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney if Levi Jones can’t go in practice this week, it’s more important than ever to take the crowd out of the game as soon as possible. Not only that, getting a lead on the Colts puts them in an awkward position in their bend-but-don’t-break Tampa Two defense.
December 15, 200619 yr Bengals aquire WR The Bengals today made the following roster moves: Acquired rookie WR Skyler Green on waivers from Dallas. Green (5-9, 190; Louisiana State) was a fourth-round Cowboys selection in the 2006 Draft (125th overall). He began the season on the Dallas practice squad, and was signed to the Cowboys' 53-player roster on Oct. 13. He played in two games, with 5 punt returns for a 5.2-yard average and 3 kickoff returns for a 19.7-yard average. Placed WR Kelley Washington on the Reserve/Injured list. Washington, a fourth-year player from Tennessee, has been inactive for the past eight games, due to a hamstring injury he suffered Oct. 15 at Tampa Bay. He played in this season's first five games, with 9 receptions for 115 yards and 1 TD. It's likely the Squirrel is done as a Bengal... :cry:
December 15, 200619 yr It's likely the Squirrel is done as a Bengal... :cry: How many times have we heard that before? The Squirrel is very resilient.
December 16, 200619 yr Thank goodness! No need for a team first guy that accepted his role and kept working hard...
December 17, 200619 yr Bengals left tackle Levi Jones, who relishes his one-on-one battles with fellow 2002 first-round draft pick Dwight Freeney of the Colts, was upgraded today to questionable and participated in the 11-on-11 drills in practice.
December 17, 200619 yr I'm picking the Bengals in this one, should be a fun game to watch, looking forward to it.
December 17, 200619 yr The Bengals will need to control the clock and win the turnover battle to succeed. The Colts are last on defensive 3rd down percentage, that's a plus but they are first offensively and that really scares me, the Bengals have been pretty bad for the most part on 3rd down defense. Add in no real consistent pass rush and PManning should have a very nice day. In the end the Denver game will decide a playoff birth. Cincy 28 Indy 34
December 17, 200619 yr Hopefully the Bengals will control time of possesion by a running game and keep Manning and Harrison off the field. Bengals 31 Colts 24 WHO DEY!!!!!!! :dancingpa
