Mark Schlereth had a piece today on ESPN where he talked about how Yates is in trouble because of how good Cincinnatti's defense is. He then went on to say they are not very talented but are a very relentless bunch of no names (his words).

Then the amazing part. To show their relentlessness, he shows a sack they got against Yates with less than 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter. It was a coverage sack where they never gave up. So to show how Yates will struggle, he picked out a bad play from the GAME WINNING TD drive Yates led against Cincy. It was about as misleading a use of highlights as I've ever seen. Then he closed out his remarks by saying they were very good against Baltimore EXCEPT for allowing two long TD runs and how those runs were not really even their fault, just that they had issues on those plays with Gap integrity. No mention of how the Texans and Foster take advantage of gap integrity better than any NFL team.

I am not a big believer in Houston right now, but the media dismissal of them for a more broken Cincy team that backed into the last wildcard is amazing me. Especially since Yates beat them already...without Andre...on the road...in his first ever start.

I think our season ends January 15 in Baltimore, but we have more than enough for this Bungles team.

This is precisely why I have zero respect for the media. So many of them are looking for that "moment" that they seldom report on facts.

'Antoine Caldwell' and 'bench' harmonize beautifully in the same sentence, don't you think?

I'm happy Texans and especially AJ made it to playoffs this year.

I guess we have a reasonable chance to win this game.

The Atlanta game was Yates' first start but the Cincy game was his first road start.

Last time the Bengals won a postseason game: 1990

Their opponent: The Houston Oilers.

It may not be a factor but Dalton has struggled with the flu this week. I know from experience that one of the worst things to endure with the flu is a plane flight. The confinement, the cabin pressure, the recirculated air...
