The adventure that is the 2013 Cincinnati Bengals captivated the city once again this Sunday as they tale of two teams showed up once again. Except this time it was in the same game. The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Baltimore Ravens 34-17 but not before and appearance from “Bad Andy” then the resurgence of Dalton along with the Cincinnati defense.
First came the appearance of “Bad Andy” and boy oh boy does twitter hate Bad Andy, some more than others but let it be known Andy Dalton’s nickname is not the “Red Rifle” it is now and forever more “Bad Andy.”
Those are just a few of the Bad Andy tweets, there were hundreds that FanSided wouldn’t let us post. Cincinnati fans get very very emotional and man do they love swearing, but then again who doesn’t. A slow start from the Bengals and two interceptions but Dalton really put Bengals fans in a downer mood.
A pick six would have been worse and to Robbie’s credit he was a good sport about it when we pointed that out.
Well if that isn’t the most depressing tweet of the day I don’t know what is Cole. Don’t worry though the Bengals managed to pull through thanks to an outstanding performance by the defense.
Then we got the negative Lance McAlister tweets, not that Lance ever has any positive tweets, unless he’s talking about the Cardinals. Today though Lance apparently was a psychic and a regular stat guy.
Then in some miraculous sort of way Andy Dalton and the Bengals turned the game around. When Dalton started to make plays twitter turned around, although god forbid anyone actually give him any real credit.
Then once the Bengals were in complete control and the game was out of reach Dre Kirkpatrick made the game ending interception to ensure the Bengals a victory.
The Cincinnati Bengals are headed to the Playoffs. At the moment of this article the Bengals will be the 3 seed facing the Chargers or Steelers depending on the outcome of the Kansas City San Diego game. Stay tuned for more.
