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.”
And now Dalton has two picks in the first six minutes. Bad Andy showing up early

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.
So the bengals throw a pick the first play of the game

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.
Andy Dalton is holding the Bengals back.

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.
Funny thing is, I didn't tweet a prediction this morning...I started to tweet, "let me get back to you 5-minutes into game."#badfeeling

#Bengalshave never won a game with Andy Dalton throwing 3 INT.....0-4.

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.

Andy Dalton is the most interesting QB in the NFL.

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.
Game over.#WHODEY
