I think that our offense is more content to dink and dunk their way down the field this year and have long, sustained, time killing drives. The deep ball doesn’t seem to be a huge part of the playbook this year.

Ravens play the Steelers, who don’t have Troy or Ben.

If the Ravens win and the Bengals win, the Bengals will take a two game (really a three-game considering tie-breakers) lead.

Geoff Hobson on Benson....
The Bengals fear that Benson’s type of muscle strain is simlilar to that of a groin or hamstring issue and even when it feels ready it needs more time to heal. Plus, reaggravating it would put him on the shelf longer.

Purely in the computers

Cincinnati is 3rd, just .01 behind Florida.
Alabama 1.000
Florida .930
Cincinnati .920
Texas .880
TCU .870

A Texas loss coupled with a UC win and the SEC championship game forcing a loser should put UC into second in the computers and second or third in the human voting categories. Based on the numbers, a Texas loss puts UC in the championship game

It seems like many of his throws are high. But know its obvious to see its because his feet are not set.

Need to do something to negate the pressure that Ryan's getting on Carson.

Lots of blitzes and stunts, our guys are getting toasted. Screen passes, quick outs to the flat, and for God’s sake don’t stop running the ball.

Foschi.

He was covered for a moment, then fought off the coverage and found a hole for Palmer to throw into.

Great play by Foschi, who I believe is getting stronger. Once Coffman mans up and plays, Foschi will be a good backup TE.
