Cincinnati Bengals’ Jerome Simpson pleaded guilty to felony drug charge related to a package of California grown Marijuana that he signed for under the alias “Jason Snyder.” I guess the wide receiver wanted to get some serious relaxation when he admittedly received a shipment of approximately two pounds of marijuana. More controlled substances were reportedly found at his town home according to a plea agreement. Simpson initially claimed innocence in this case but later admitted that he indeed received the package and his attorney argued that the marijuana was for the wide receiver’s consumption with his friends. Per the terms of Simpson’s plea agreement after pleading guilty to a charge of “prohibited acts relating to a controlled substance” he was sentenced to serve 60 days in the county jail. A formal sentencing is scheduled for April 5th but the wide receiver is due for a minimum of four games suspension under the NFL’s substance abuse policy and what will happen to his free agency status now? Stay tuned for more…
As John Wayne would say, “Life’s though pilgrim, it’s even tougher when you’re stupid.” Good going Mr. Simpson
With Running Back Cedric Benson going into next week as a free agent, the Bengals would have to sign a new Running and reliable running back. One way to fulfill this task is to hopefully get a running back in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft. The Bengals have two picks in the first round and if used appropriately, they can possibly bring in a running back that would fit into the long term plan of the team. Another option if the Bengals do not resign Benson is for the Bengals to look for a replacement in the free agency, and Michael Bush of the Oakland Raiders is being rumored to be in talks with the Bengals when free agency begins on March 13th. Bush stands out among other free agent running back, and would be an improvement in comparison to Benson.

The Bengals put up a great fight against the Steelers on November 13, 2011 and were close to taking sole possession of first place in the AFC North, but the Steelers defense buckled down and refused to let the Bengals walk away in first place. It was one touchdown that separated the score between the two teams, but two fourth quarter opportunities were taken away by the Steelers defense when Timmons and Gay both intercepted Dalton. It was a close defensive battle, and the Bengals again let the NFL know that they are a completely different team and are truly playoff contenders.
Next week the Bengals will travel to Baltimore to play the Ravens for the first time this season. The Ravens have been extremely disappointing so far this season, and giving them another loss following a bad loss to the Seahawks might be just what is needed to ruin the Ravens spirits and put them in a downward spiral forcing them to miss the playoffs.

Surprise, surprise! The Bengals are now a solid 5-2 and can be classified as contenders to win the AFC North, or at lease vie for a wild card spot. In the 32-12 victory over the Seahawks, the Bengals again saw great production from rookie QB Andy Dalton. In spite of the 2 interceptions thrown by Dalton, he completed 18 of 29 attempts for 168 yards and 2 touchdowns. One of those touchdowns went to star rookie receiver, AJ Green. Green finished the game with 4 receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown. A great surprise in this game came from Bernard Scott, who was filling in for the suspended Cedric Benson. Scott added a productive 76-yards on 22 carries.
Next week the Bengals will travel to Tennessee to play the Titans. Keep coming back to this Cincinnati Bengals blog for all the Bengals news you need regarding the currently 5-2 Bengals.
The Bengals hosted the disappointing Indianapolis on October 16, 2011, and played a physical game that they won 27-17, which helped them improve to a surprising 4-2 record. During this victory, Andy Dalton continued to make Bengals fans forget about Carson Palmer, and give us hope that the future of Cincinnati football is bright. Dalton completed 25 of 32 attempts, threw for 264 yards, and one touchdown with zero turnovers. In addition to Dalton throwing the ball, Simpson and Green showed great skills catching his passes, Simpson having over 100 yards, and Green catching his 4th touchdown of the season. In addition to the offense, the defense forced three turnover, two fumbles and one interception. The Bengals committed zero turnovers to those three takeaways. The Bengals are on a roll and the playoffs are certainly something to think about.
The Bengals have a bye coming up, but will be playing the Seahawks following the bye week. Keep reading this Cincinnati Bengals blog for all the Bengals news regarding the team and their upcoming opponents and games.
The Bengals may have lost, and you may be able to change the word pride with future, but Bengals fans have a lot to be excited about. Yes the Bengals lost, but Dalton threw for 332 yards on 27 of 41 throwing, A.J. Green had 10 catches with 124 yards and a touchdown, maybe those comparisons to Randy Moss weren’t as extreme as some us thought (those who didn’t want to be disappointed). But Green is the real deal and Dalton should have no problem just throwing it his way when he is pressured and needs to get rid of the ball. Cedric Benson had a shaky performance, but look forward to him bouncing back next week against the 49ers.
Next week the Bengals play the 49ers, keep up with Bengals 360 for all the news you need to know regarding the game.
