PrintBengals perform their most complete first half, with good pass protection, great wide receiver routes and sustaining drives with third down and short, converting most of them. The Bengals secondary is beating on the Jaguars receivers, while the Bengals defensive line is getting pressure on Garrard.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is quick on his decisions, throwing to his first option on a majority of his passing downs, and pulling the ball down when he sees a running lane. He's completed passes to eight different receivers. Benson picked up towards the two minute warning with a 20-yard run up the middle. The Bengals have two rushing plays of 20 yards or more -- Benson, Fitzpatrick.
Also the Bengals defense held the Jaguars offense below 100 yards total for the half. Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor combined for 31 yards rushing on 10 attempts. Garrard completed only six passes on 12 attempts for 53 yards -- which includes a 16-yard screen pass.
Fitzpatrick: 16/19 for 100 yards passing, two touchdowns and 52 yards rushing on three carries (one draw, two scrambles).
Benson: 10 rushes, 46 yards rushing, one reception for five yards.
Watson: One rush, one yard.
Chad Johnson: four receptions, 26 yards receiving, 2 TDs
T.J. Houshmandzadeh: five receptions, 35 yards receiving.
Garrard: 6/12, 53 yards passing
Jones-Drew: seven rushes, 25 yards rushing, one reception for 16 yards
Taylor: three rushes, six yards rushing.
Lewis: 2 receptions, 11 yards
Jones: 1 reception, 9 yards
As a Team
Total Yards: Bengals (199 yards), Jaguars (86 yards)
Passing Yards: Bengals (100 yards), Jaguars (43 yards)
Rushing Yards: Bengals (99 yards), Jaguars (43 yards)
Third Downs: Bengals (5/7, 71%), Jaguars (3/7, 42%)
Time of Possession: Bengals (16:24), Jaguars (13:36)
First Downs: Bengals (13), Jaguars (5)

He twisted his ankle severely when a DT fell on top of him.
Could be a serious sprain or worse, a broken bone.

The Bengals have to score to start the half.
That would really go a long way in putting the pressue on Jax to become one dimensional.

Fitzpatrick
This is a great (however safe) game being conducted by Fitzpatrick. He only has three incomplete passes (16/19) with eight different receivers getting into the game.
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
Colt McCoy-esque.
Let’ s hope they don’t give the game away at the end.

He was nasty that half

Fitz, in shotgun, with plenty of time HITS CHAD Johnson deep down the right sidelines. Chad can’t catch the pass while diving — another catch he’s typical of making.

DAMN!
I like the aggressiveness. Too bad.

Hey Kirkendall
Can you give me an YOU TOLD ME SO already? Because you disagreed adamantly with me about Benson being a franchise running back for us.
Adamently?
I don’t think I was “adamant”. I bring up other options or scenarios. And my point that his value shoots through the roof in a weak RB free agency market remains.

I dont know, you were pretty set on him not being the answers
Its called back-peddling or flip-flopping
Bengals need more than a RB for "answers".
He’s done well, no doubt.

But the fact still remains. He’s unsigned after this season. Will the Bengals give Benson a big-time contract?

Nice Catch by Chad.
Rollout right, Fitz throws a fast ball to Chad down the right sidelines. Good 11 yard gain.
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
Benson
One thing I like about Benson is that when he picks a hole, he buries his head and charges.
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
Fitz intercepted
Threw a pass to the left for T.J. running a hook/out route. DB recognized the route, and jumped the pass.
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
Double move on mid-yardage downs would be lethal...
but that would actually be a good play call, something Bratkowski is unable to do.
"Ryan, Things in here don't react too well to bullets." - Marko Ramius
FITZ?!?!?!?!
That was awful. Just when you think the Bengals have turned it around…

Too bad Fitz does not know the meaning of finesse.
"Ryan, Things in here don't react too well to bullets." - Marko Ramius
Plenty of time.
Fitz steps up and throws a missle to T.J.
And then a riot takes place.
Whitworth had his helmet taken off. And throws punches. Several more than one.
Ejections?

Wow!

Ejections.
Whitworth and John Henderson ejected.
Henderson illegal hands to the face on Whitworth.

What was Whit supposed to do?
Henderson was going for his eyes! The Refs got that wrong.
"Ryan, Things in here don't react too well to bullets." - Marko Ramius

Henderson. What a ASS!
He started clawing at Whitworth’s EYES. Did you see it? Then Whitworth retaliated by starting to punch Henderson. Jesus Christ.
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
WTF
How do those penalties offset?
Illegal hands to the face is a flag. Then two personal fouls off-set. I don’t understand that. Anyway, third and 11 and Fitz is sacked.
Whitworth is MANLY.

Plus, those penalties came out AFTER T.J. converted the first down.

That was an injustice that the Bengals had the 1st down taken away.
The league should change that rule. The PF occured after the play was over, except for Henderson’s penalty DURING the play!
"Ryan, Things in here don't react too well to bullets." - Marko Ramius
I don't blame Whitworth one bit on that one.
And Whitworth got crapped on after that. He shouldn’t have been flagged.

Lapham on Whitworth
Says that he doesn’t know, that since the ejection occurred in the third quarter, if there’s not some carry-over to the next game.
He better not get fined or suspended. That would be terrible by the league — though I wouldn’t put it past them.
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
If the Bengals lose this game...
it will all date back to that injustice when a first down was taken away by a totally screwed up call. I hate refs.
"Ryan, Things in here don't react too well to bullets." - Marko Ramius
It's amazing how a dirty play can get a bengal doing nothing wrong ejected, take away a first down in Jag territory, and switch momentum.

just that he is nasty and a top 10 back in the league
thats what I said, you disagreed, I said we need him long term, you said you didnt that he was the answer and at the best a 3rd down mix up back, I disagreed and he is proving me right
Now you're lying.
I said he’s “at the best a 3rd down mix up back”? I don’t recall that. Where’s the link I said those exact words.
The one thing that I have maintained, is that the Bengals should go after a big-play running back in the draft — provided that they have tackle and center options sealed — because the team has Watson and Chris Perry for next season. Benson is nice, but the Bengals still need to dramatically rebuild the RB roster.

Are they picking on JJ?
I’m just following on cbssportsline.com and it has listed him as the DB for the past 3 complete ions
Yes - he is letting the Jags complete everything in front, no pressure, not making tackles in bounds.
Awful.

Detroit let the game slip.
Looks like we will too.

No way
The lions will be the only winless team after today
On side kick... Bengals recover.
Houshmandzadhe recovers!

Bengals have the ball.
Two point lead, with 1:17 left in the game and the Jags having two time outs left.

ALRIGHT TJ
We seriously need to resign this guy! God knows we have the cap space
Maybe Franchise the guy.
We use it. So why not T.J.?

Agreed
The 7 million we we get for letting Andrews walk could go toward that
First and Ten
I formation, hand off to Benson. One yard gain. Jags take time out.

Second and Nine
We’re in FG position.
Handoff to Benson up the middle. Two yard gain. Jaguars use their final time out.

Play action would have been great on second down....
roll out with run pass option.

Third and Nine
Benson picks up two yards.
Fourth and seven. Clock rolls.
Bengals could attempt a FG.

Bengals take delay of game.
Larson is going to punt the ball with 19 seconds left.

Is it sad that I am still nervous?

Larson kicks the ball straight up.
Ball is downed at the four-yard line.
Well done.
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
WOW, Larson is having a good game
I’m shocked
BENGALS WIN
Bengals only rush three. Garrard gets the pass off. Lateral city takes place. One went forward for penalty.
AND THE BENGALS WIN THE GAME!
Blogger at CincyJungle.com -- SB Nation Cincinnati Bengals blog.
I think it's safe
We’re not the worst team….it’s a start
Don't want to get too good
I’d still like a top 3 pick to land a blue chip OT
Defense, great game.
Fitz, great first half.
Benson, great overall game.
Nice to see Chad score.

Jones-Drew/Taylor
Combined for 15 attempts for 45 yards total.

CINCINNATI BENGALS
Thats the team were gonna cheer to victory
My son just learned how to clap (8 mos old)
He just applauded for 10 seconds as soon as the game was over.

Yes - that is. Well, he saw a few in utero last year.
But those don’t count.

Pat Sims
He’s nasty-good. Andrew Whitworth, totally screwed. Defense put pressure on QB all game long.

"It's a great day to be Bengals fan!"

Thanks for coming guys.
Great game. Nervous as hell until the end. But we got the first one!
