Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

Second Half Thread: Detroit Lions (2-9) 7 - Cincinnati Bengals (8-3) 17

Pretty lackluster first half from the offense against the woeful Detroit defense outside of the big play to Chad Ochocinco on playaction in the second quarter. The good news is the defense is still pretty good, outside of giving up a big pass to Calvin Johnson. Pressure has been decent, coverage has been excellent, and tackling seems to be improving as time goes on. Even the offense heated up at the end of the second half, with Carson Palmer going 5/7 for 73 and a TD after starting 2/6 with an interception.

The Lions got the ball back with just over 2:00 to go, and the Bengals played to get the ball back before the half, and the Lions were forced to punt after some incomplete passes with 1:19 left in the half, and Cincinnati took the ball with 1:08 left at the 38 yard line. Palmer took a sack, Detroit took a time out, :59 left. Palmer to Coles for 11 at the 49, snap with :38. Palmer throws deep to wide open Chad Ochocinco with :30 left, marching into Lions territory. Carson was forced to run it, and managed to spike the ball and stop the clock with :14 seconds, and following a delay of game penalty, Shayne Graham booted a 44 yard field goal to push the Bengals lead to 10.

Some causes for concern in the first half - offensive line and penalties. Carson was under durress far more than we expected him to be against the worst pass defense in the league, and the Bengals were flagged, well, a lot, giving up 50 yards on 6 penalties in the first half. The Lions' only points of the game came after a false start and a hold. We're also only averaging 3.0 yards per carry, which isn't so good.

Causes for optimism - Carson was much hotter toward the end of the second quarter. The defense continues to play well. We're playing the Lions. It's our ball first in the 3rd quarter and we're winning by 10. We've scored more points than our defense gives up per game, and the Lions' offense isn't exactly a juggernaut.

Stats of interest:

  • Time Of Possession: CIN - 16:31, DET - 13:29
  • Penalties: CIN - 6:50, DET - 4:30
  • Total Plays: CIN - 33, DET - 33
  • Yards (Passing/Rushing): CIN - 174 (126/48), DET - 142 (88/54)
  • 3rd Down Efficiency: CIN - 2/5, DET - 2/8
  • 1st Downs: CIN - 12, DET - 9

Kind of even, huh? Hopefully the second half is a little more favorable to the boys in black.

one thing i'd like to see from benson

is to make people miss in the secondary. he really doesn’t ever spin or juke the secondary, he just runs right into people. that’s great for short gains, but it is really taking away some big plays and honestly just putting more toll on his body

It's clear

it’s clear if they play like this the next oucple of weeks the Bengals will get absolutely crushed by a good team.

by occams_tiger_teeth on Dec 6, 2009 3:39 PM EST reply actions  

look what they're doing with it

Too many “Benson for no gain” plays. Too many penalties. Etc.

They’ve looked like crap today. Only winning because they’re playing piss-poor Detroit.

i know by-and-by an NFL scout and he said that Mays is very low on certain scouts list because he doesn’t take coaching very well. Like Ahmad Brooks… all phsyical talent and nothign upstairs

by TennBengalfan on Dec 6, 2009 3:54 PM EST up reply actions  

What overthrows?

He’s not been on the same page with Coles all season, and the fact that we run the ball 40 times a game keeps him cold. He didn’t win the Heisman handing off, and he didn’t go to the Pro Bowl 2 years because of his handoff skills…

But the Lions need to build the foundation around him or it’s all for naught.

Is a playoff team in 2011.

if he sorts our his interception prob and the o-line gets better his big arm will make big plays and he’ll get to the probowl… i mean even Derek ANderson did.

the kid has real potential. and his toughness on that dislocated shoulder shows he has the stuff to get there. Just he can’t do it all himself

Paul Brown used to do that with Otto Graham when he struggled early in the game.

Would bench him a few possessions so Graham could see what the defense was doing. He’d come back in and play well.

I just hope we’re playing down to the Lions like we seem to do EVERY time we play a weak team. I figure we’ll look better against the Vikes, but it’ll be a tough game.
