Bengals offense
Appearing they could go with a very obsessive rushing offense, if they’re talking about sharing carries between Benson and LJ. Is the over under 40 rushes between the two?

I think they are lulling us into believing that, then Carson will throw it about 35 times
watched some of the tape of vikings against Cards. Though i’d see them getting killed by spead-offence but alot of it was two TE formation. Made me wonder about the ability of our running game to get established as we like two TE sets etc.

Nickel corner is the weak point of the defense, especially against teams with multiple deep threats.
If SIms can play at a near Peko level, we are in good shape.

Biggest concern
If I had one concern, it’s the Vikings pass rush. I’m not sure how well Whitworth can slow Allen. And I do have worries about Livings/Mathis at left guard holding one of the Williams brothers.

As long as Carson shows he can protect the ball in this kind of offense
then it’s what they have to go w/. Enough of this 45 runs a game.
I'd guess that he is. My guess is that he reinjured his already injured ankle...
That’s why we activated Murray
Because of the good mix of passes and runs...
And execution and no penalties
thats what you have to do
will they keep it up?

Thanks guys
Found an English-TV link and its kind of funny, but works nonetheless…
btw, does anyone else think they should have called a timeout in between those plays instead of trying to hurry it up??? That was a booty-call by BRAT…

That’s what we get for calling lame plays. This field goal will be the difference in the game

Bratkowski sucks
throwing underneath crap like that plays with fire. If you are gonna do that, just take a damn knee. Throw the ball downfield if you are going to run a play in that situation. A TO is less damaging in that scenario.

I do agree on Dumbdorf
that Carson has to take responsibility for that throw to Leonard, it was a horrible decision.
the coaches need to take responsibility
they weren’t trying to score, not with a draw and a screen pass…so why run a play?

In defense of that last play call
I think the goal was to run down the clock while advancing the ball a few yards and run a hail mary (if Palmer got the protection) with a few seconds left.
Bullshit
That’s a typical Bengals play that I’ve been watching for forty years.
You either commit to move the ball downfield and use your time outs or you take a knee and go in the locker room.
Why are NFL coaches so dumb. I’ll take an IQ challenge against any coach in the league!

Timeout called?
Sorry I lost the feed at the end – but did Marvin call a timeout after the “fumble” to give the refs time to think about it? Worked for the Saints last week.
i really hate how rice BEGS for a flag

we look like crap
