So, I don't really have anything to say about this one. We dominated every phase of the game but turned the ball over at some very inopportune times, including Andre Caldwell's fumble kickoff, and Jeremi Johnson's fumble in the red zone. Shayne Graham also missed a field goal that was about 35 yards long. Feel free to continue discussing the loss here, I really don't have anything to say about it, I'm too disgusted. The Bengals did not play a complete game and made terrible mistakes down the stretch, including a dropped interception by Johnathan Joseph, and did not put the game away.
Unbelievable. Enjoy the gift Oakland, Pittsburgh, and the rest of the AFC. The Bengals really served this one up on a platter.

Not win every game, but win the games where the Bengals dominate every facet of the game.
Those fumbles and missed kicks. Unacceptable. Period. Shayne Graham is a choker. He’s never made a kick that actually mattered. The Bengals did everything they could to lose this game. The Raiders did very little to win it. These are the games that ultimately mean something in the NFL. THe Bengals have failed miserably in two this season.

Dude, we were facing arguably the worst franchise in pro football…and we lost. And this is nothing new, we barely beat another terrible team in Cleveland and we lost against the very beatable Denver team.
Say what you want, but they should have taken care of business. All that talk about being SB contenders…what a joke, just like the Bungles.

Gentlemen,
I am terribly dissapointed in the outcome of today’s Footing-Ball competition, but I remain confident that the team fielded by the St. Paul Brown’s Reform School for Misguided Youth will learn from their mistakes and will emerge stronger for having lost in such a ridiculous fashion.

We were running like Ced was still in there.
Sure, Scott ripped off a sixty-one yarder, but besides that … we ran for one-to-three yards, or most often negative yards. And we kept running. I understand the game plan, but hand off after hand off, then punt after punt—the game got away from us. And Oakland clawed back. Then Caldwell … clutch catcher before, but not so much on the return game, huh? Where was Scott?!

AP Recap:
The Bengals scored touchdowns on two of their first three drives, but managed only three more points the rest of the way. They were done in by three lost fumbles, eight penalties and a missed field goal.
The biggest fumbles were by fullback Jeremi Johnson at the Oakland 15 and poised to add on to a 17-10 lead and the one by Caldwell. Shayne Graham also missed a 37-yard field goal in the third quarter.

It was definitely a letdown
We-re 0 For Oakland to date. I blame the turnovers and the playcalling even late when we still had the lead. We should have used Leonard and not JJ as the change of pace. We should not have been throwing on second down with the lead in the 4th. Caldwell’s fumble may have been the icing on the cake, but JJ’s fumble gave a Raiders team who started slow in the second half new life. I will give Gradkowski credit. We may not have had one sack, but B-Grad showed the decision making skills of an actual NFL QB. He ran out of the pocket to escape pressure and threw the ball away when he had nothing.
by Danimal, Destroyer of Worlds on Nov 22, 2009 7:54 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Gradkowski didn't have a very good game.
He was mediocre, but he won. He made the plays on the last drive, and he found Morgan Trent stumbling around on that touchdown heave. He threw 2 balls that should have been picked before that.
I’ll maintain for the rest of the year that this was a gift-wrapped game for the Raiders.

Larry Johnson
Isin’t it weird that 2 of the most improbable outcomes of the season involved Larry Johnson? He leaves Kansas City and Kansas beats Pittsburgh, and his new team, our beloved Bungles lose to Oakland? He seems to have bad energy or something. Apperently our locker room is not as strong as we thought.
By the way O line played its worst game of the season, Andre Smith should be active by now and rotating once in a while.

I'm not inclined to disagree with you there
We as fans have endured many losing seasons and stick by our teams. By no stretch do I think as optimistically as last week. We can still win the division. Steelers just lost to KC and are beat up. I also agree that maybe Bengal-Fan is taking things too far by cussing out and namecalling the other guy. I’ve heard lots of fans say they’re done after a bad loss or a bad season. first round bye is probably out of the question at this point.

Not great, but not the end of the world either
We beat ourselves in this one,Missed Field goal after 6 attempts in the redzone,we got another shot after a roughing the passer penalty and still couldnt execute,JJ fumble..why was he running the ball? Also plays like Ocho’s false start erasing a 9 yd gain on 3rd and 1 that resulted in a failed 3rd and 6,and ultimately Caldwells fumble…just poor execution today but its not the end of the world. We will bounce back next week against Cleveland.

Give Caldwell a break
The guy has been pretty much clutch all year,Ok he isnt a great returner,but he was called on and on this occasion made a mistake, yes ball handling is a basic fundamental of the game but,jeez mistakes happen…trade him?whoever said that needs to get a grip. Another thing..It was good to see Ocho giving him encouragement on the sideline…anyone remember that game in 02 I think when chad let the ball go through his hands that killed the game in Indy,we all see how he bounced back after that. That moment on the sideline still gives me confidence for the season.
by pilks1075 on Nov 22, 2009 8:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Caldwell looked very uneasy on the sideline following that play.
That may have been the ultimate deciding factor, but JJ’s fumble was definitely a key turning point.

Steelers fan here...and a big Marvin Lewis fan, too....
I’ve been picking the Bengals as the most improved team in the league all year….
and they’re still gonna win the division and probably go deep into the playoffs….
so get off the ledge. In a 16 game season, you almost always lose a game or two that you should win. It ain’t the end of the world.
Honestly, a lot of you have to learn how to be a good winnner, and – now that your team is back among the elite – you also have to learn again how to be a good loser. You’re still in first place, and will be undefeated in the division.
Tomorrow is a work day, even though it will suck for both Steeler and Bengal fans, but at least the beer’s cold, and I’m gonna drown my sorrows. It sucks when you lose to a lousy team.
Good luck the rest of the way.

Hey fellas, I got a new word from you.
It’s PERSPECTIVE.
Let’s look at the facts here: We’re 7-3. 1st place in the AFCN. 1 game up on the Steelers, and we hold the tiebreaker. We’re tied for 2nd in the AFC. 5 of our last 6 games are against teams that are not likely to be playoff-bound. We lost another let-down game. We’ve got a smart coach and a team that’s hungry. We’re gonna be OK. Yes, this one stings a little (especially cause I’ve got some friends that are Raiders fans that are giving me the business) but some of you fellas make it sound like we got blown out and we’re going to lose to the Browns by 40. Let’s keep our heads on straight.

I think Marvin should be blamed for letting Caldwell return kickoffs, he hasn’t looked good all season long. That being said, I think Scott wasn’t an option there since he must have been tired after the heavy workload he had today.

But Caldwell isn’t the answer. I’ve been saying that all year. I’d much prefer Cosby or Purify to return kicks.

Very few teams in the NFL don't lose at least one game to a team they should beat.
I’m disappointed as much as anyone, but we weren’t going to win out. The team has been taking care of business nearly all season, I don’t think we have reason to panic just yet. I would have figured Marvin would use Pittsburgh’s loss early in our game to drill not playing down into the players’ heads, but the blame for this one goes from players all the way through the coaching staff. Bratkowski called a ridiculous game.
I still think they come home to PBS on Sunday, do work and have all the outer fringe fans slopping down the Kool-Aid once again. They most likely won’t blow the Browns out of the water, but they win on Sunday. Decisively or not. It puts them 6-0 in the division. Bear in mind, we didn’t lose any ground in the AFCN yesterday because all four teams lost. By a total of nine points. To three bad teams.

i think there’s a difference between oakland and cleveland/detroit (detroit might currently be closing the gap a bit, but it’s still there). oakland has a fairly talented team (asomugha, seymour, mcfadden, to name a few) that is a lot like the bengals pre-marvin; that is, they have plenty of guys who can play, but they don’t really have the people in place to help them reach their potential, so they’ll get a few surprise wins (even with jamarcus russell at quarterback, who isn’t half the quarterback gradkowski is, and i know that’s not saying much), but overall their record won’t be good. the lions and browns are still teams against whom you can commit three turnovers and win; it’ll be sloppy, perhaps, but still a win.

I have but one question. WHY ARE WE SCARED TO THROW THE BALL?? The Bengals were running the ball and milking clock like we had already won after we went up 14-0 in the first half.
Terrible turnovers, scared playcalling, and predictable defense.
The only good news is that Pitt choked to KC and B-More lost to Indy. Gotta find a way to get over this one quick.

Don't run and hide just yet:
after the 2 losses this season, the team responded with great win streaks.
When you’re 7-2, you can afford a letdown. Give our boyz a break, they played a bad game. Either Benson comes back, or LJ gets goin, which will give us our power run game back. So quit your bitchin…this loss will be a re-focus point for the team. They’re gonna be pissed and take it out on the Browns, which will be quite satisfying.
8-8? 7-9?? Seriously? So we’re gonna finish 1-5? or 0-6???? L-O-L at you, the red scratch marks where your bandwagon tatoos used to reside standout painfully.
