Bengals kiss sister again, take field goal

INDIANAPOLIS -- With wide receiver Chad Johnson -- he who prides himself in a fast-food diet of McDonald's -- in the locker room for at least half of the third quarter and the first 1:57 of the fourth quarter to get an IV, the Bengals settled for their third field goal and a 15-point deficit.

With Chris Henry and Reggie McNeal in the game with T.J. Houshmandzadeh, a third-down pass for Houshmandzadeh in the end zone was knocked down.

Indianapolis leads 31-16 with 13:01 left in the game.

The Colts have 3 starting defensive backs out, and the Bengals have ZERO touchdown passes tonight. TJ has been invisible and Henry is phoning it in. This is not championship caliber play.

Chad needs t be hydrated during the game. Anumber of Bengals do their hydrating after the game. Get the DUI checkpoints up.

This is far from the first time our #1 receiver has had to have I.V. fluids pumped in. I've lost count! Is the problem he just can't stand Gatorade. Hey Chad it's free! Try it! Pinch your nose and force it down! You've got a college education, in I believe phys. ed. and you've been in the pro's how long?

As for the game, gee whiz, I don't believe what I saw. Or rather what I didn't. This one stunk up the entire dome! It was the worst of the season and at such an opportune time. I can count on one hand how many positive things I saw.
Well I'm still on the bandwagon and I'll hold the faith like alway's. Maybe next week they'll all get on the same plane to Denver. Hope so because they didn't seem to catch the same bus.
What WAS that?

Chad needs to grow up and lay-off the fast food.

His constant cramping is beyond excusable at this point in his career - he was barely on the field last night before taking the IV.

Enough with the antics and shoes and nonsense.

Marvin Lewis has no control over this team, or apparently his assistants' game plans.

What a disappointing night for Cincinnati and what a let down for Bengals' fans.

Thanks Marvin and Chad for losing big when it counts.
