Thornton

Probably see some DEs take some DT snaps.
Second straight week that Shirley was inactive… Sims being inactive is likely still his injury and perhaps, lack of preparation.

Sims being inactive, I understand (it's injury)
But I question Shirley. We’re just really short handed. What’s the reasoning? Is it his impending court case? Is he not adjusting? Is he not doing “his job”? Is he in Marvin’s dog house?

we should have kept mike myers if we were going to have the rookies inactive

Whitworth
I’m hearing it, not seeing it. But apparently Haynesworth, on the past two plays, is really frustrated by Whitworth’s total awesomeness. Whitworth has lost his helmet twice, though I’m not sure if he’s just losing it, or if Haynesworth has something to do with it.

Cincinnati's performance was embarrassing on that drive.
What happened to an “aggressive Zimmer defense?” That was a bend, bend, bend, bend, screw up, and eventually break defensive series. You have a back-up QB who is known for throwing picks – force him to beat you! That “ten yard cushion” BS is as bad as Bratkowski’s play calling last weekend.

To allow a team that was trying to run out the clock to score before the half. Letting teams score in the last two minutes of a half KILLED the Bengals last year. Good Job not fixing that at all Zimmer.

the wind makes plays like that tough
why is the offense so bad?

Will there be a backlash?
Or will our fans continue to go to the stadium, pay for merchandise, and line Mike Brown’s pockets?

Can't speak for them
I know several people that go down there, simply because they like the atmosphere. Tailgaiting, and being with their kids, or having fun with the family. Friends with friends. That type of thing. So I hate to say anything about them, as if a boycott would work anyway.

if you already have bought tickets, you should go if you want
but don’t buy any new merchandise or concessions

I don't know. This time we have the talent... though I'm beginning to question that.

Don't know
I haven’t seen him, however, I’ve lost my television signal several times for long periods.

I kinda miss Peter Warrick
Does the special teams coach really tell the kick returners to go find the first defender down the field and get tackled by him? It looks like they’re trying to get the least amount of yards possible.

Holt has been decent. Has 30.7 yard-per-return average. Though I missed the last one.

Hey! Another palmer interception.
Time to use another first round pick on a QB.

That was way over his head. He did well just to get a finger on it.

we need to make plays

why are we soo bad?
do we have a major flaw in the offense, or is everything just not quite good enough
by R.F. Mehl on Sep 14, 2008 3:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Is it our WRs?
Are they just not getting open? Are defenses finding a way to beat up on our WRs that we just can’t adjust to?

Finally?
Can we finally fire Marvin, now? This “talented” team looked pathetic – again.

I'd fire Brat first.

Anybody want to guess what the post-game comments are going to be?
“We made too many mistakes.”
“We have to get to better.”
“We have learn from this.”
Translation: “We do not know how to win. 2005 was a fluke.”

Whatever they say, it's going to be BS.

This team has talent but,
There are no leaders. There is no accountability. There is no strategic game planning or management. Carson Palmer = Drew Bledsoe (a mild mannered, rocket armed, immobile QB who fails to inspire or lead his teammates). This game was winnable, but the Bengals broke down at every key moment. Hell, it should have been 7-7 at halftime except idiot Nduke misses a tackle. The frustrating thing is that neither the Ravens nor the Titans are as talented as the Bengals. Marvin Lewis has a lot of work to do.

Talent?
On what basis do you think this team has talent. Please take the opportunity here – or even in a new post – and list the collective achievements of this team. What, exactly, has this team ever achieved? One playoff appearance in six years?
I am sick and tired of people saying that this is a talented team. “Talent” is consistent. Talent is executing. Talent is winning. Everything else is an excuse and an apology for losing.
I would be willing to bet that most of the players on this roster have little – if any – knowledge of what it takes to win in this league. There is no talent on this team as there is no team. There are only individuals. You need a coach to get individuals to play as a team.

Well i'd say they improved since last week, so that's good i guess

It would have difficult to be worse than last week, but they tried.

Yeah, and next week it’ll “only be three,” then it’ll “only be four” after we go 0-4 losing to Cleveland week after next.
