Bengals going backwards 4-3 as Atlanta takes them in a shoot out.

I’m not a professional sports coordinator, but the Falcons didn’t do much different this week than they did last week. How Crumpler could be so wide open is beyond me.

(pull)I know the Bengals offensive line has ISSUES, but with the weapons we have, you have to adjust.(/pull) Change some plays so that they aren’t the same telegraphed screens and quick outs to the running backs that get us zero yards.

Those don’t seem to be keeping the defenses honest or taking any pressure of Carson. When a team can rush three and still sack the quarterback and force a fumble, that’s pretty sad. Once again Carson spent too much time on the ground.

Rudy again had some reasonable gains, but there isn’t enough consistency there to keep a defense honest either.

The Bengals have talent, but they aren’t using it effectively. Again, I know the line is beat up. It’s almost non-existent. That seems to happen in the NFL when you dump a lot of money in something does it not? You also can’t give teams two years to look at the same stuff. You need to change up and improve.

Are other teams catching on? I think so.

Come on Marvin, after the way Atlanta played in against Pittsburgh you should have expected nothing less. In fact what you got today was no different, not at all.

Bengals 4-2 after unimpressive victory over Panthers

But hey, a win is a win, and Chad got his plays in.

The Bengals skated by 17 – 14. They again came out strong, going 3 and out on their first 4 possessions and looked horrible in the first half. Amah Brooks is for real. He’s a monster, no doubt about it. As he settles in he’s certainly going to be a force.

The anemic offense did march down the field with some help from the Jaguars and the men in stripes, and they did make a few key plays when the needed to.

I really wish they didn’t leave us hanging the first half of every game.

Giving credit where credit is due, the defense played pretty well, as did dare I say it, Rudy.

Given the points the Atlanta put up today against the Stealers, next week should be a shoot out. I haven’t yet read what knocked Big Jen out of the game.

But I’m still concerned for our offense, more so than the defense.

But Chad’s catch on 4th down, well, that’s the Bengals I’m looking for.

Bengals 3-2 after horrible loss in Tampa

Horrible doesn’t even describe it.

How does one get a roughing the passer call while sacking the quarterback the way Justin Smith got that call? Sad, sad I say….

That pretty much did them in, however the Bengals brought this loss on themselves. They played a very hungry 0-4 team and they did not look like a team that just got their buts whipped and had a bye week to think about it.

Nope.

The offense was pathetic. How many false starts and bad penalties? 10? A season high? The Bengals shot themselves in the foot so many times it wasn’t funny. After the whipping the Steelers put on KC yesterday, it means they may not be the division gems we all thought they were.

It’s time for you to show us something Marvin. Show us that you haven’t lost it. Show us Carson that you haven’t lost a step, that you can hold on to the ball and make a play. Some of your passes looked like Kitna passes yesterday.

Help me, I’m having flashbacks.

Bengals get B*tch-Slapped by the Patriots 38-13 are now 3-1

Perhaps the Thurman and Henry issues on the team are bigger than anyone would like to think.

The look on Chad Johnsons’s face says it all:

Chad

It was horrible. The Bengals _stole_ a win in Pittsburgh last week and I think they took that for granted. Again the offense sputtered. Both initial drives should have resulted in 14 points and only ended up as 6. It was down hill from there.

The D? What D? The improved run stopping D that gave up 200+ yards on the ground? Man did it look bad. They need a real safety, and Big Nate, didn’t seem to help much today. They ran right by him like short bus passes the regular kids.

I must say I wasn’t fully expecting a win today. But I didn’t expect the Bengals to get blown out. Nope. I thought Chad would have a big day or if he didn’t Kelly Washington would because nobody can cover all 3 of our receivers.

I don’t know if Brooks played today other than special teams, but now that Thurman is out for the year and unlikely to be back as a Bengal that monster needs to see some play time.

Tory James got burned yet again, he is really starting to remind me of Rod ‘Toast’ Jones. I think that might be 3 weeks in a road he’s been beat bad for touchdowns.

C’mon Marvin get control down there. What happened to “Do Your Job?’

Teams that are doing their job don’t get blown out like that.

Who Dey! 3-0

Who Dey! Not the Pissburgh Stealers that’s who.

This weekend a group of (4) outstanding, and classy Cincinnati Bengal fans made the trip to Pittsburg to see the game and get what’s owed to us.

It was a guy thing so we had a lot of fun. Headed up Saturday, dropped off our stuff at the Hilton, went to Ruth Chris for a most delicious steak, then out to a bar (ended up being the bar at the Cheesecake factory of all places) then to see Jackass Two.

Yeah, guy stuff.

Then Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

Hit the buffet at the hotel and wandered over to Stealer (yes that’s spelled right) territory.

Let me tell you… For the most part, football fans are football fans there are jerks everywhere, but Pittsburg has way more than their fair share.

A little hooting and hollering is expected. It’s all about the rivalry. Nothing wrong with being proud of your team, or even being pompous, hat too is expected.

But here’s the problem, being rude and vulgar to visiting fans, calling them f*ing garbage, is totally classless. The biggest part of this is it never happens where there is more than one Bengal fan around, but if you happen to find yourself alone, prepare to just get hammered with white-trash, insults. It doesn’t matter if kids are around.

There were Bengal fans that got egged walking to the game, totally lame. I thought Cleveland was trashy… Pittsburgh set a new low.

But we got what we came for. We are 3-0 while they are 1-2

We live for the now, they rest on their laurels of 5 super bowls. Don’t get me wrong. We’d love to have 5. But (4) of those happened back before these retard fans could even walk back in the 70’s. Maybe they’ll figure that out some day.

Let them continue to live in the past. I think the best part about it all was listening to Pittsburg radio on the way out of town. They are already after Cower…

Classless.

Photos of our adventure can be found here.

I will give Pittsburgh this. They got a way better deal on their stadium. Heinz field to be renamed Marvin Lewis Field for 2007 because Marvin is 3-1 there. Is nicer than Paul Brown and cost about 150 million less too.
