NFL Offseason: Big Money, Big Draft, & Big Ben Follies

[elka_sk8]

My game is actually this coming weekend when the Bengals actually play at home again. ;) The only things I ate today were cake, ice cream, and assorted picnic items at my little cousins' birthday party although my uncle and cousins were all having some beer, LOL :lol:

GO BENGALS!!!!!!!!!! :cheer: I thought for sure they would figure out a way to blow this game (botched onside kick anyone?!) but they held on and got their first EVER win in Green Bay. That game was a nerve wracking one though overall and my family and I went through the gamut of emotions all day long. Great to get the win and it's VERY nice to see the offense actually show up this week. Nice job guys!! :cheer2:

Heck yeah! Go Bengals! :cheer:

The fake news article? It's not really as funny as it should be.

Heather just saw the Bengals upset the Steelers in person!:cheer2: She is somewhere in that massive, orange-colored cheering crowd.:) They are now 2-1. Awesome clutch football from the Bengals.

I went to the kitchen to start supper - the score steelers whatever and bengels 10, when I came back out to the living room bengels won :eek:

I am still in shock but in a blissful type of shock. :)

I still cannot believe they pulled it off, they looked like they were going to get creamed in the first half.

WHO DEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

If anyone else is going to go to their first NFL game, I hope everyone else's games are like the one I just got home from tonight!! :rollin: It was AMAZING and I had the best time even though I was by myself. I just got home a little while ago. My poor mom couldn't get to me at the stadium so I had walk through half of downtown to get to her! We need to work on the whole picking me up after the game thing because that wasn't as smooth as the drop off was earlier this afternoon, LOL ;)

Anyway, I honestly thought it was all over after the Bengals offense couldn't get anything going, we were down by 10 points, and Rey Maualuga went off the field on a cart before the half was even over. :eek: The Bengals had to have made adjustments during the break because they looked like a different team for most of the second half. The Bengals interception with the TD was on the opposite end of the field from me but I screamed my head off anyway, LOL :lol: Cedric Benson's TD run was RIGHT towards me so that was extremely cool. The game winning TD and 2 pt conversion was in the end zone by me too and our entire section of the crowd was going berserk! I was sitting next to a Steelers fan who was actually a really nice guy (we chatted a lot), but most of the people around me were fellow Bengals fans so obviously the second half was rocking in my section! We stood for the entire fourth quarter (although the guy in front of me stood for most of the game.....I barely saw the first half due to that but he was better about it in the second half. I finally asked him to sit down so I could see the actual game and not just the screen off to my right, LOL) and I am definitely going to be hoarse tomorrow. Hmmm, wonder if that's a problem for someone who works in customer service, LMAO :rofl:

Anyway, the game tonight was an absolute blast and I am SOOO thankful to my friend for offering me her ticket! I definitely have to get her something nice to thank her. :) It was fun leaving the game too because all the Bengals fans were all slapping high fives and cheering the ENTIRE time we were leaving. It was VERY cool to see the Steelers fans all quiet and bummed out, LOL :lol: The whole experience was just awesome and I hope I get to go to another game sometime this season. WHO DEY!!!! :respec:

The Bengals won again today beating the the Browns 23-20 but they're going to totally make me gray before I turn 34 with all these come from behind/last minute wins! This one went all the way into overtime after they had to just TIE the game in regulation. The extra point was blocked which is what sent the game into overtime. :eek: I'm thrilled for the win but GEESH GUYS, can you at least make ONE GAME a blowout so the fans can relax at the end of the game?! :eek: :lol: :P

New Orleans might just explode from happiness. Too bad their defense was better then their offense tonight. FAIL.

Im a Giant's fan. I might just go to the saints game in Giants swag and see what happens to me :)

Monday night's game was so weird, and the dumfounding efficiency of the Colts was ... well, so Peyton Manning. :cheer2:

Miami executed a perfect "Colts prevention" game ... bled the clock throughout the game, and gained the yards. But, ala all of last season, the Colts -- though short-staffed with mucho injuries -- bent but didn't break. (Stingy on the points, and kept Miami from making even one big play, while my pretend hubby Dallas Clark ripped off a few big plays with Peyton.)

But, wow, the Dolphins' owners brought out the stars! Venus and Serena, J-Lo and corpse husband, Gloria Esteban, Helio Castroneves, Jimmy Buffet, and Tiger Woods, who turncoated and spent most of his time on the COLT's sidelines. :P
The 'Fins finally found someone they could pick on: The Bills. A 38-10 win was a bit of a surprise only because of the absolute thumping they gave the Bills. I'm sure The Dolphins schedule will humble them shortly, but I was so sweet to see them win one convincingly, especially with both of their team MVPs from last year down with injuries. They are a long way from being world beaters but they won't finish 0-16 this year....;)

NJL (And J-Lo was in attendance...in one of the billionaire's boxes, I think...:D ...)
