Open Thread. Second Half: Cincinnati Bengals (9-3) at Minnesota Vikings (10-2)
In a game that was expected to be a bruising low-scoring game, the Vikings and Bengals appeared to be going very one-sided, with Cincinnati's first four possessions picking up 17 yards and four punts. Cincinnati finally found its rhythm with a good combination of passes and rushes, converting a ten-play drive 82 yards, ending with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Chad Ochocinco.
Thanks to good field position by poor punts from Kevin Huber, decent returns by the Vikings and a few penalties, Minnesota's offense did get 10 points on two drives that picked up 39 yards or more on at least seven plays. With four minutes left in the first half, the Vikings went 71 yards on 14 plays to convert their second field goal, leaving half a minute left in the half. The Bengals, brilliant as always on offensive play-calling, were quickly taken off the field after a Brian Leonard fumble which lead to another field goal and a 16-7 Minnesota Vikings lead.
Brett Favre and Carson Palmer are each completing just over 50% of their passes while Cedric Benson and Adrian Peterson have combined for 98 yards rushing on 20 carries.

You can't have one without the other
Only 12 of 31 plays have been rushes. The Bengals need to go to Benson more often.

Benson's Half
This needs to be Benson’s half. He’s averaging 5.8 yards per carry. He’s over 1,000 yards on the season. Time for Benson to take over.

he was only averaging that high per carry because of his 42 yard run
without that, he’s averaging 3.6 YPC

we only have one receiver
our only strenght is running the ball but we can’t do that when we are 2 possessions behind
by pedro_oliveira on Dec 13, 2009 3:49 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Carson doesn't suck
He’s been hamstrung by a run, run, pass offense. If you only throw on 3rd down, it severely limits how effective you’re going to be.

Because at some point, you just let his contract run out. He’s been here a while. Brat has been brought back because Marvin likes them

and by the way, this is not a playoff team yet
Baltimore could very easily go 4-0 to finish the season out. With games against San Diego, the Jets, and the Chiefs, we PROBABLY go 10-6 at least, but if our offense continues to be this abysmal, losing the rest of our games isn’t out of the question

Absolutely. But my point was: If we’re barely squeaking them out against awful teams, the better teams are going to stick it to us. Eventually the defense won’t be able to bail out the offense.
