Email
PrintIn 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.
I agree with the clown
But if he did cocaine, his playcalling would be a bit more frenetic than it has been.

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

its still plausible for the Ravens to run the table
so we NEED to play w/ a sense of urgency
maybe that is what it takes
to finally open up people’s eyes on the coaching staff that changes need to be made and discipline needs to be branded into them
If we don't come out with urgency
Ive realy lost even an incling of respect for our offensive coordinator(notice I didn’t mention his/her name)
Can we cut Shayne after this game?
or because he is franchised he has to stay? im sure we can find a kicker

But you brought Ohio into this, and you’re not on BTSC, so I’m not gonna hold back. I disagree, Western PA is the cestpool of the US. Unemployment and crack addiction is even more rampant there than even the likes of Lower Michigan. Hell, you probably don’t even live in PA. I’m not gonna call you a frontrunner because you stepped up to defend your team in a bad year.

Refs are intructed to let the play continue and sort it out after the play....
but that was pretty clearly a down by contact play.

At least the defense has been pretty good.
They’ve been put in some bad situations, but I think overall we can’t be disappointed in their effort so far.
We've kept Favre - at home - to only 150 yards and 1/1
And peterson to only 70 yards, but we don’t have a prayer because we can’t pass the ball on their poor pass D….wow
The coaches are doing stupid things today too
bad clock management, very questionable playcalling,terrible use of timeouts

Thanks Brat
For telling us you were going to mix things up and not be so predictable in the red zone.
Run, Run, force to Chad.
Here's how you lose:
Penalties, Turn the ball over, kick field goals, don’t score red zone touchdowns.
And they settle for 3, which doesn't accomplish ANYTHING.
Still a 2 score game. Wasted 2.5 minutes to score 3.
we only down 13 now

I hope the Bengals coaches looked at the clock and realized there is not much time left

All they need is a FG for this game to be over
The D can only hold for so long…
lets face it, other than Mike Zimmer, these coaches aren't that competent

but everybody here loves marvin lewis

I don't get why
He’s showed WAAAAY to much loyalty to one of the worst offensive coordinators in the game, and his teams are pretty undisciplined

Carson sucks
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
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.

solidly in the loss column today
this offense has to improve drastically if we expect to win a game in the playoffs

Without the holding call on Livings
We still have the ball. You can’t win like this against anyone
our special teams has been dominated this game as well
poor focus and intensity
Cant do that with all the freaking penalties
Every week i think yea this week we wont have the false starts…….but noooooooo

Not going for it on 4th and 3 is going to tick me off all week.

lets go cowboys......
hopefully we come out better for the san diego game…
I dont know why we keep worrying about the second seed with this kind of play
we should be worrying about other things

Really?
That implies having coaches who look at tapes and know what they are doing. We don’t have that type of coach in Cincy

coaches aren’t the ones jumping offside though.

yeah many negatives but many positives.
They have played the whole game in our half. If we win the game of field postion we win our ballgames

offense fucking sucks

Stop worrying about getting the second seed fellas
we should worry bout other things after this performance

Might as well get JT some playing time

hope he's ready to be our head coach
and I sure hope he has somebody who can call plays on offense.

Yeah, they're going to fire Marv after a playoff season.
Come on. Be reasonable.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
I would really hope that Mike Brown would order Marvin to fire Brat
He’s been bad for several years now. I don’t get why he keeps getting brought back

Cause MB is a cheap ass
by Danimal, Destroyer of Worlds on Dec 13, 2009 3:57 PM EST up reply actions
Is Brat under a 12 year contract?
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
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
by Nunyabidness on Dec 13, 2009 3:59 PM EST up reply actions
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

a marvin lewis’ decision not working, shocker…
by pedro_oliveira on Dec 13, 2009 3:55 PM EST up reply actions
5 minute drive
THAT’S why you go for it on 4th down, down 2 scores on the road. Worst case they score a td with less time taken off the clock
I'm all for trusting our D.
I post about it all the time. But time is against us. Do you want to win or do you want to not lose?
well hardly any of this team has played in a dome in the NFL. they are very different places to deal with.
especially on the o-line
by Sheffieldbengal on Dec 13, 2009 3:58 PM EST up reply actions
Not for nothing, guys
We knew from the get-go that this would be a tough one. As will next week. Hopefully we can learn a thing or two (or eight) from this.
why save Palmer?
he can’t do much worse than the 94 yards he has today..

Pathetic performance on all fronts today.
The Bengals should be embarrased with both the effort and execution. Tackling was terrible today.

now why didnt we go for it?
your stupid choices have gone bad today brat and Marvin

I honestly think they wrote this game off as a loss
and hoped they might back into a win. Minnesota is clearly better than us

Well, the post game thread is up.
Think that’s the earliest we’ve ever had it up.
I know there’s no such thing as bad losses, but this was a bad loss. Have no confidence for next week.

just don’t see our D having problems with what they have. So even if we play like this we’ll end up winning 20-13
by Sheffieldbengal on Dec 13, 2009 4:05 PM EST up reply actions
have you seen our offense lately?
we’ll be VERY lucky to put up 20

God, it's actually worse than I thought
we’ve scored over 20 points five times all season, and once in the last six games

Agreed. This was pathetic no matter how you roll the dice. What makes anyone think we’ll play better against SD?

when JT came in, why didn’t they run it with Benson three times so he could have gotten 100 yards
by Sheffieldbengal on Dec 13, 2009 4:08 PM EST reply actions
Hey…what happened to the guys that said a win is a win and our offense was playing well enough? Anyone willing to admit that they’re borderline insane today?
This offense has been pathetic since 2007. How many miles can Brat and Carson Palmer get out of ‘05-’06?
well, i’d take an ugly win over and ugly loss anyday
by Sheffieldbengal on Dec 13, 2009 4:10 PM EST up reply actions
Offense has run its course
Defense deserved a little better today
Can only see defense keeping us in any game for the rest of the season
Coles – missing in action
Caldwell – not far behind
Coats – no comment
