New Jersey Abuse Victim Count To Reach 45

Meadowland, NJ

By 4:00 pm EST. Forty-five (45) Cincinnati Bengal players will be throughly abused by the New York Giants. This should, without a shadow of a doubt, be the most notorist beating on record in New Jersey for 2008.

The Cincinnati Bengals, led by their lifeless head coach Marvin Lewis, make their way today into Giants Stadium with as much apprehension as a student heading to the principals office for a severe paddling.

Marvin Lewis says he likes the way things are headed for the Bengals. Maybe Lewis is standing on his head. 0-16 looks pretty good from that percpective.

The 14 point spread in todays game is a bit mind boggling. The Bengals have played two 2nd tier opponents in the Ravens and Titans, and have mustered only 1 offensive touchdowns in 8 quarters of football. Carson Palmer is a mere shadow of his old self and Chad and TJ can't stop telling you how good they are long enough consider getting back to what they are supposed to be good at. I'm quite sure Chris Perry is going to have another stellar game (averaging 2.7 yards/carry) against the Giants front seven. This will probably be a game that in which Perry has at least one fumble and most likely suffers another in a long line of injuries.

A run defense that is giving up approximately 200 yards/game and a pass defense that will only get worse should teams decide to abuse them through the air as opposed to on the ground adds to the miseries of this team.

Marvin Lewis has not only lost his team, he has lost his mind. There is nothing positive that should be said about this version of the Cincinnati Bengals. He is a coach that has seen better days in this town. Marvin is simply collecting a paycheck that Mike Brown is willing to continue to give him. This, in Mike Brown's estimation, is better than firing Marvin, having to give him the balance of the contracts value, then bring in another coach and increase his expenses. It's all a business in Cincinnati. Sport has left the building.

This blogger would be floored if the Bengals stay within 25 points of the Giants.
