Thank god that season is over. The Bengals have shot themselves in the foot all damn year. We would have just ended up watching them shoot themselves in the playoffs. At least seeing Santonio break it, then do the O-HI-O took a little bit of the sting out. Can't help but feel good for him succeeding.

Damn it!!! Leave it the Bengals to find a way to choke. I knew Shittsburgh would win as soon as they won the toss.

So did I. I didn't even watch after that because I know that the Bengals' defense is as soft as warm butter. Oh well, at least we're not Browns fans.

STEELERS 23 BENGALS 17 (OT)
Bengals left behind
Team would?ve made playoffs if not for mistake-laden loss

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

CINCINNATI ? The Bengals will be watching the playoffs in their homes. Appropriate. These guys belong on the couch. A year after the Bengals had supposedly exorcised the demons from 15 years of futility, it?s obvious much psychological work remains.
Cincinnati needed to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday and get help to qualify for the playoffs as a wild card.

COMMENTARY
Promising season sabotaged by players? selfishness
Monday, January 01, 2007
BOB HUNTER


CINCINNATI ? Close?
Naw.
The Cincinnati Bengals aren?t close. They were close to making the playoffs, maybe, but let?s be brutally frank here: Do these unremarkable, winone, lose-one bunglers look close to being one of the NFL?s elite teams to you? "We are a very average football team," quarterback Carson Palmer said. "We were a very average football team ? won some games, lost some games. We?re just not a very good football team."

QB wants to huddle up
Palmer seeking a voice in offseason personnel decisions
BY MARK CURNUTTE | [email protected]
Carson Palmer became the first Bengals quarterback to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a season when he went for 280 yards and two touchdowns in the season-ending loss to the Steelers.
Boomer Esiason threw for 3,959 in 1986.
But Palmer only cared about two numbers after the game.

Chips fall perfectly, but Bengals just fall, miss playoffs
BY MARK CURNUTTE | [email protected]

On Sunday, everybody did their job except the Bengals.
The result of the Denver-San Francisco game late Sunday put an exclamation point on the Bengals' season. And it made this fact painfully apparent: They have only themselves to blame for missing the playoffs.

Missed chances will haunt Bengals
Tuesday, January 02, 2007

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH



The last impression is the one that lingers.
Shayne Graham knows what that means for him after he missed the 39-yard field goal attempt that would have put the Bengals in the playoffs. "It?s just a feeling no one wants to remember," Graham said after Cincinnati lost 23-17 in overtime to Pittsburgh on Sunday. "I?m sure I?ll have people ask questions all year until I get the first game out of the way next year."

Bengals' Lewis doesn't expect Thurman back

JOE KAY

Associated Press

CINCINNATI - Coach Marvin Lewis refused to talk about suspended linebacker Odell Thurman on Tuesday, another indication that he has written him out of the Cincinnati Bengals' plans.
Thurman, a second-round draft pick from Georgia in 2005, was suspended for the season because he violated the NFL's substance abuse policy. He can apply to the league for reinstatement before next season.
