lol, Kitty Kats.. They talk about losses firing up the Bengals, but you can bet that Ryan will also be drumming into the team about the loss of Mr Johnsons daughter too. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Gd4hgJFgc[/YOUTUBE]
I doubt that the death of the owner's daughter will have much bearing on this game Gus. I'd be surprised and disappointed if Ryan even went there.
My opinion is unanomous. I don't think Ryan wants to go there and I don't think Woody wants the team to go there.
Both teams have loss issues. I'm sure it was mentioned or will be mentioned at some point. I'm sure the media wont let us down. The kittens will be playing harder but I say come out running again. No funny business. Shotty will probably try and get cute but I see no need.
Their loss didn't fire them up last game, did it? If your not already fired up to be in the playoff, then you don't have a chance of winning. They are just talking out their butt to fill tv time. no big deal.
I think the opposite, while I don't think it'll be in the pre game speech I can't help but think the team will be thinking of their owner at one of the most difficult times in his life. He is the guy that signs their paychecks and even though I doubt any of them have ever met her they all know Woody and giving him some light at a very dark time may not be the main reason they play hard but I'm sure giving him something to smile about will make the team feel good.
