As insane as it sounds, the Bengals defense (once again), has the Bengals in position to (at least), be in the game. Considering the way the game has gone, the Bengals only down by three, is a result of the defense — I believe — and a late drive orchestrated by Fitzpatrick and Houshmandzadeh.

:)

Great show.

Seriously. We can not run the screen. Our line can’t block it.

Unblocked blitzing S/CB gets Perry by the ankle for no gain.

Great pass blocking. Fitz kept looking and hit Chad (single covered) running to the first down marker and then out.

Goes to the left, 2-3 blockers penetrate the backfield, turns back inside and gains nothing.

Watch specifically the blocking. At least one, sometimes 2-3 defenders, get off their blocks have Perry in their sights in the backfield.

sigh

IT WAS A THREE MAN RUSH!

Where’s the punt coverage. Holt was down there early, but blocked. No other Bengals player was within five yards of the returner for like 4-5 seconds.

Compare the blocking, specifically between the guards, on running plays. The Jets O-line collapses the center whereas the Bengals O-line just collapses.

Favre throws for 29 yards to Coles (good pass and grab). Hall was on coverage and on Coles’ hip. Favre threw the ball where no Bengals defender could pick up.

Then he throws for 17 yards to Cotchery, wide open in a massive hole in the zone.

Favre starts scrambling to the right and throws across the field to the left sidelines to Bubba Franks. Marvin White covering, takes position on Franks and jumps up for the pick.

The Bengals will start at their own 3-yard line.

Likely, the Bengals rush on their first two attempts for limited gain. Anyone want to bet against that?

Benson goes for three and then one.

Third and five. at the Cincinnati eight yard line. Fitz, in shotgun, runs into the endzone, throws deep down the right sidelines. Over thrown. Incomplete. Bengals punt.

Man. Chad had a step, and was outpacing the defensive backs.

Second drive start at the Cincinnati 47-yard line.

Fourth drive starts at the Cincinnati 34.

Fifth drive starts at the Cincinnati 24.

Eighth drive starts at the Cincinnati 25.

Frostee Rucker. Woot.

With the Jets starting position in half their possessions, including turnovers by Fitz, it’s amazing we’re only down by six points, honestly.

are responsible for those 3 points

I thought he was fast….

Have 18 rushes attempts for 68 yards (3.7 yards per rush).

Fitz, hits Perry out of the backfield and gains… drum roll please… no gain.

Seem, flat slant route. First down.

For… drum roll please… one yard.

“In case anyone is wondering, the Bengals rushing just stinks.”

After the first down, we rushed the ball twice for two yards. And then we ran pitch to the short side for three yards.

Perry just whiffed on the pass. He should have caught the pass, would have had the room for a first down.

God, Perry is just awful. Awful.

he sucks as a receiver too !!!

There, I said it.

We need to blow up this offense. Granted, Palmer isn’t in so we shouldn’t take games that Fitzpatrick is playing as indicators of how this offense is performing.

Still, positions all over the offense just don’t step up.

But the Bengals just drain me. You know?

Oddly enough, LeCharles Bentley is still out there. I don’t believe he was signed.

Rivers almost makes a pick. Then, on the last passing play, Dhani and Ndukwe had a shot at a pick. Fanene hit Favre and hurt his shoulder — well, somewhat. He was rotating it like he got hurt.

The Bengals have forced two third down situations with four yards and six yards to go. The Jets converted both with 6-yard completions and 13-yard completions respectively. On the 13-yard completion to Cotchery, Dhani Jones was covering — which seems like an impossible task — likely in a zone.

Mother is aggressive.

Sims just doesn’t move.

On that last pass play, Sims was falling down, but already in the backfield.

This guy might be REALLY good.

Great, great job by JJ to force the ball to be deflected into the air. Lynch, covering deep (a cover two), comes over and picks off the pass.

Offense needs to get it going.

“The offense sucks. Sucks.”

Perry: 11 rushes, 14 yards.

Did you guys see Perry trying to block the guy? Perry was shoved backwards, badly. Perry’s guy made the sack.

Bengals punt.

I can’t expect them to keep the Bengals in the game much longer. They have to be worn out by now. There’s eight minutes left in the game and the Jets offense has had the ball for 29 minutes.

He took his block, and just kept his lineman separated with a big paw, going down the line of scrimmage hitting the RB at the POA — which was on the opposite side of the line.

We showed blitz — bringing three.

15 rushes, 20 yards.

That is sad when peko is a leading tackler

Favre was not freaked out. No we are reaching if we are looking for penalties to help us out

We Suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who Dey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bengals or Lions!!!!!!!!!!!

0-6 how bad it feels.

Bengals could be the only winless team by day’s end.

1981 at Shea, beating the Jets 31-30, was the last win AT New York.

The Bengals won the turnover battle (+2) and the Bengals defense scored a touchdown, and the Bengals are losing by 12 points.
