Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Post-Game Thread: Detroit Lions (2-10) 13 - Cincinnati Bengals (9-3) 23

Jermaine_gresham_tiny by jsl413 on in Game Log

The Bengals won another snoozefest this week against another awful team, reminiscent of last week's boring win against the awful Browns. But, hey, a win is a win, and a winning season we have secured as the Bengals improved to 9-3 with 4 games to play.

Carson Palmer turned the ball over 3 times. The defense played pretty well, including making a few take aways of its own and scoring a touchdown to help carry the Bengals to victory. Penalties were rampant and a problem. Tackling was a problem at times, too. But the Bengals took care of business, I guess, and style points don't really matter at this point to anyone but the pundits.

Here are some stats, because I'm bored and complacent since the Bengals won easily. Oh yeah, some notable notes... Bengals are the first team ever to have 3 different backs go for over 100 yards in 3 straight games, and they've recorded the biggest 12 game turnaround ever (from 2-11-1 to 9-3).

  • Penalties: CIN - 9: 75, DET - 7:45
  • Time of Possession: CIN - 38:48, DET - 21:12
  • First Downs: CIN - 22, DET - 14
  • 3rd Downs: CIN - 6/15, DET - 2/11
  • Rushing: CIN - 41 carries, 122 yards, 3.0 ypc, DET - 20 carries, 80 yards, 4 ypc
  • Passing: CIN - 17/29, 220, 7.9, 1 TD, 2 INT , DET - 13/29, 192, 5.7 ypc, 1 TD, 2 INT
  • QB Pressure (Sacks/Hits): CIN - 3/8 , DET - 2/3
  • Secondary (Int/Passes Defensed): CIN - 2/8, DET - 2/5

ALMOST caught in the back of the endzone. Oakland has 15 seconds and 1 timeout.

Why doesn't

Marvin Lewis figure that out? WTF?
Why not play Chase Coffman in the slot? How much worse can that be than Coats coming in to play at the end of the line, and either dropping the ball on the turf or getting beat by his man?

Touchdowns, Browns.

Quinn goes 6/6 for 61 yards and throws a TD pass to take the lead over the Chargers.

Credit to the Lions,they played tough at times,we were pretty predictable but it was good to get Ocho back in the game. Benson looked rusty at times but I think we will see a more focused effort the next two weeks. We did miss Peko today.

If the Bengals win one more they can be at worst 10-6.
The Ravens can be 11-5 if they win out.

Hobson said that Roland was a high school basketball player. I think it’s possible that he could serve the ‘block first, CATCH a few passes’, role better than Coates, and have Andre play RT in those situations.
