Mock Draft has Bengals picking Utah TE
http://www.draftcountdown.com/sub/Mock-Draft-B.php
In recent years the Bengals have accumulated a lot of young defensive talent, using four consecutive first round picks on that side of the ball from 2005-2008 plus second and third rounders last year. Perhaps now it’s time to help out the offense. Cincinnati has been searching for a pass catching threat at tight end for years but with little or no luck. Granted they just drafted Chase Coffman last year but his inability to get on the field and make an impact even though the Bengals were decimated by injuries at the tight end position speaks volumes. Oklahoma’s Jermaine Gresham might have been the first tight end selected in the 2009 NFL Draft had he come out early and he entered this season as a potential Top 15 overall pick.

Super Bowl Thoughts
* Sean Payton was quite simply one of the most aggressive coaches in Super Bowl history. How many times have you witnessed coaches in the big game, especially rookies, who refuse to take chances.
* Drew Brees proved that he deserves to be talked about right alongside with the upper echelon quarterbacks in the league. What a performance for a guy that's never been there before.
* I'll admit it...I was rooting for Indy to win. I simply believed that the better quarterback was going to win. Last night at least, the better one did.
* Are the Indianapolis Colts the Atlanta Braves of the NFL? From 1995-2006, the Braves won 11 straight AL East Titles, but won only one World Series. From 2002-2009, the Indianapolis Colts have a regular season record of 99-29 and won 6 division championships, but have just one Super Bowl Title.

UC falls to Pitt 74-71
UC, 10-4 overall (2-1 Big East) fell to Pitt at Fifth Third Arena tonight.
Ashton Gibbs paced Pitt with 19 points and Gilbert Brown added 17 points off the bench. Deonta Vauhgn had 17 points for Cincinnati.
Cincinnati was hoping to start off Big East play 3-0 for the first time in team history.
Cincinnati doesn't have much time to dwell on the defeat. The Bearcats host Cal State Bakersfield Wednesday night before returning to Big East play against Seton Hall on Saturday.

My two cents: 1/4/10
Well, what can I say? It's been for the most part a disappointing week.
Watching the Bearcats and Bengals getting beat down in pretty similar fashion wasn't exactly the way I wanted to start the new year. The excuse makers are busy pointing out that the Bengals were playing without Crocker, Peko, Sims for most of the game, Maulaluga, and Geathers. Okay, point taken. Maybe I'll cut them a LITTLE slack on defense, but the offense was still playing with 10 out of 11 starters, and they managed just 72 yards of offense. 72??? Are you kidding me? Somebody please explain to me how ANYBODY can feel any drop of confidence in this team going into Saturday's game with this kind of offense.
I'm tired of hearing the excuses about how this is a running team now, and they've changed their focus into being a team of defense and ball control. BULL.
This team is paying right now for bad decisions they have made in the past, pure and simple. Their offensive line was a strength of this team in 05, it is now a liability. In 05, they had a younger Chad Johnson, TJ, Kevin Walter, and Kelley Washington. They now have Chad Johnson and who?
The New York Jets manhandled the Bengals all night last night on both sides of the ball, and not by accident. The Jets one year took Ferguson and Mangold in the first round. Both of them are stellar offensive lineman now. They also signed perennial Pro Bowler Feneca from the Steelers. The Bengals start 3 UFA's.
Based on what i saw last night, I don't see any way the Bengals win the rematch on Saturday. Injuries and a lack of talent and imagination are throwing another season away.

Cincinnati is a mentally, physically and emotionally drained team.
Let the chant rain down from the heavens over The Nati:
One and done.

Looking for some playoff experience to help a depleted defense heading into Saturday’s Wild Card Game at Paul Brown Stadium, the Bengals didn’t have to look very far Monday in signing 2004 draft pick Keiwan Ratliff.
