Bengals STINK it up on Monday night football!

Wow!, no I really mean Wow!

Now, mind you I didn’t really expect them to win. Certainly I wanted, and hoped they would but I didn’t really expect it. I didn’t expect them to be so embarrassing. This is just the ticket to get the Bengals more prime time games let me tell you.

Chad Dropped 2 balls, Chris Henry is a piece of work, he didn’t eve reach for 3 balls that were catch-able, and even T.J. Who’sYourMamma dropped at least one. Although I give T.J. a lot of credit, he didn’t quit. I think Chad quit, and I don’t think C. Henry ever got started.

Joe Theisman is an idiot. I don’t know if you heard his comments or paid any attention to them. In the beginning of the show he said; “The colts run defense is ranked 32nd in the NFL, the only reason they aren’t ranked lower is because there aren’t 39 teams in the league”. So for a Defense that had given up 550 yards running in the last two games, you’d want to run the ball against them no? Later he said; “The Bengals game plan was fatally flawed, they tried to run from the start and you can’t do that against this team”. What an idiot.

Now as soon as you get behind as the Bengals did, which was exactly what they could not afford to do, they still ran the ball more than they should and didn’t get the results.

Rudi, isn’t all that folks, he never has been. If the line isn’t doing all the work and pushing the D around, Rudi gets nothing. He doesn’t have a move to save his life. When our O-line is as busted up as it was, we needed him (or someone) in the backfield keeping Carson from getting killed.

The Bengals won’t make the playoffs this year (as if that’s a big surprise at this point) bu write it down. My post season schedule has just opened up.

I hope this is the gateway to better things. Marvin you know who your players are and who the guys are that are just along for the ride. It’s time to cut them lose, and dare I say that might include your defensive coordinator too.

The last 3 weeks the defense has been extremely over-rated, they have only been successful because of who they’ve played. Put a decent team on the field and they are done.

Bengals Shutout Cleveland, get back above .500

Honestly, the game was played well by the Bengals. The O was clicking on all cylinders. Who were those other guys and what did they do with the Bengals D?

Regardless of the fact that I’m pretty sure So. Rita’s blind and deaf varsity team could take the Browns, the Bengals didn’t disappoint.

So they have improved to 6-5 and are on a two game streak. It’s way too soon to say the D is fixed, but they did play well.

The D stands for Dismal?

As Mark reports the Bengals defense has dropped to LAST in the NFL.

By allowing 595 yards, (601) by my math, they are now, or once again, the worst Defense in the NFL.

Here’s a few other D words that are appropriate: depressing, disheartening, doleful, despondent.

How about just plain Horrible?

Don’t worry though, because according to Marvin, they did OK, they executed well and followed the plan. There are just a few things that need work.

Forget the injuries, forget the fill-ins and the fact that 5 starters on Defense didn’t start. I’m not convinced that even with those players on the field the Bengals D wouldn’t be near the bottom.

Sheesh.

Bengals back to .500, Chad with another big day.

Already the sports casters on the radio are touting how good the Bengals looked today. Hrm.

10-3 going into the 4th quarter, and most of that was pretty lucky.

CinNO

It’s pretty amazing that you can give up 601 yards, (510 in the air and 91 on the ground, yet hold an opponent to 16 points, and win the game).

Obviously timely turnovers were HUGE. Without them this game would have been a lot rougher.

But a win is a win. Yeah, they have a lot of starters out, but the D played the run pretty good all in all. They couldn’t stop the pass to save their lives though.

Cleveland next week, should be a win, but based upon the past couple weeks let’s not count that chicken just yet. Cleveland has been in a lot of games and found a way to lose. Hopefully they will continue that trend. A loss next week to Cleveland would be devastating.

Bengals Blow It & Drop to 4 & 4

The Bengals blew it. Hell they blew it in the first 5 minutes of the game. You can’t let a team like Baltimore get up on you 14-zip.

3 and out, 3 and out, and the D can’t get off the field on 3rd down, same story different week. I’ve never, ever seen a team so weak on 3rd down on both sides of the ball.

If I can sit back and pick one of the two plays we run on 3rd down, don’t you think other defensive coordinators can? It’s like we have (3) plays for 3rd down, that’s it, hell the majority of the time it’s the same curl to T.J. which unless you’re going to get the pass interference call, isn’t working. The same play ended up with on 4th down.

Now I realize this is probably Carson’s 3rd, option on that play, but that seems to be the one he’s hitting with consistency, or missing rather. The Bengals are now 1-4 in the last 5. That’s not good.

Certainly they have some key injuries. Rich Braham, but this was more than likely his last year anyway. We should have someone ready to slide right in.

The Bengals are decimated at Linebacker due to injuries and suspensions.

But fellas, it’s time to step up. “Do Your Job??? as Marvin would say. We’ve looked bad, no, downright awful.

It’s certainly clear the NFL and its officials hate the Bengals. Week after week, a bad call has ended the game early or killed a drive that was going to put the Bengals ahead or tie it up. But the Bengals should not be allowing the game to be decided by the officials.

They shouldn’t be in that position to begin with.

Right now 8 and 8 looks mighty optimistic unless some things change significantly for the better.

I have one last observation after watching that game on TV:

Dick Enberg, it’s time for you to consider retirement. Being blunt, you suck.

‘Chris Palmer’ does not play for us. You referenced the Bengals as Baltimore at least twice, maybe three times. I do give you credit for being able to pronounce Houshmandzadeh. But that’s it. I think you need to be checked for Alzheimer’s, and if you don’t have it, then your preparation for the game and ability to deliver is unacceptable. Simply put, you’re past your prime, get out while people still think you’re good.
