Second Half Open Thread: Cincinnati Bengals (10-5) 0 - New York Jets (8-6) 27

PrintDrop, drop, drop, punt? At least Chad Johnson can run past Darrelle Revis before he drops the ball.
Anyway, there are a lot of starters resting tonight. Among the notables are Cedric Benson, Domata Peko, Chris Crocker, and Robert Geathers. The Bengals were notably weak tonight against the Jets rushing offense and defense. I think these are related statements, but I can't be sure until next week. In other injury news, Pat Sims was out of the game with an injured forearm that was getting X-Ray scans done in the second quarter, and Tom Nelson got hurt too.
Regardless, the game was extremely sloppy up front and in the hands of the receivers. There were at least 4 drops (that I saw) in the first half, backups got blown off the line by the Jets O-Line, and there were even a fair spattering of penalties. The Jets played the first half like they needed to win to get into the playoffs. The Bengals played the first half like they kind of wanted to play the Jets in the playoffs.
The stats that we typically see the Bengals control in games (time of possession 24:50 to 5:10, rushing yards 191 to 7) have heavily favored the Jets. I just have a hard time believing the Bengals really wanted to win this game, not that I think they threw the game, but starters simply weren't playing and defensive playcalling seemed extremely vanilla. I'm pretty excited to see these guys again next week.
Use this thread to discuss the second half and laugh at the trolls. Don't lose faith, I guarantee you that we won't have a repeat performance next weekend.

i guess
i dont blame you guys for wanting to play the Jets rather than the Texans…you guys assume that you will get all this film and all your players back and win…what a joke

the way the jets are running the ball..
I’d much rather the Bengals had to play Houston. Looks like it’s going to be a hellish finish to this one and then a very scary game next week. Jets look unstoppable

The run is the one thing I'm not worried about.
We don’t give up big runs, and we’ll be prepared for their wildcat and option plays next week. Thomas Jones is only averaging 2.5 yards a carry.
zimmer will be ready
i think this week was a wait and see what theyll throw at us, we also havent brought any pressure packages
catalina wine mixer
yes, we'll stop the run next week
and vancouver, i know this is painful to watch but try not to judge too much from this game. leave that to everyhoustonteamrox
My guess
on this game is they are trying to see if they can pass on the #1 pass defense in the league. They haven’t seen any of our stacked lines and only a handful of simple running plays. We have seen just about everything in their offense and what i’m hoping is marvin told them to just play enough to not get hurt. There is no way the bengals approach this game the same way in the playoffs.
I don't think it would matter
Either the Jets or the Texans would take down this team pretty easily. They’ve played craptastic football since the Ravens game, except for an inspired almost in San Diego. Other than that they were lucky to get some wins over the weakest sisters in the league.

The media is going to be really critical this week..
but that is how the Bengals appeared to thrive this year. When the media and fans never gave them a shot. Let’s hope Marvin uses this embarrasment as a tool to get fired up next week.

I don't either, offense has been pretty abysmal since October
But of course, the playoff appearance probably ensures Bratkowski will be back next season

This is how we went in in '05, too, against a worse team that had nothing to play for.
Then we played decent against the Steelers until the team realized Carson wasn’t coming back.
And what better opponent ...
than one who comes in overconfident, thinking they can dominate you? At least, I hope so.
Brad Smith injured
Maybe that rolls over to next week
Notice we're not passing?
Obviously playing vanilla to give them nothing extra for next week. They went nuts with their wildcat because they’re desperate to win…
For the love of god, just take a knee!

they put this game on sunday night knowing the bengals wouldnt play to win
and then when they sit people they rip the bengals for not trying. The media is a joke

when missing so many starters from the beginning of the year: Odom, Peko, Geathers, Williams, Crocker, Mualaga (that’s half the squad already)

It’s your job and you’re embarassing yourself and your team. You’re being blown out and you think screwing up is funny? This is a joke

either way
as a lifelong Bengals fan dying to see them on TV this is absolutely disgusting. Terrible all around, defense looks soft and unable to generate any kind of pressure or stop the run. The team looks like they’ve selfdestructed. I have no faith they can go back next week to Cincy and play any better.

theres a lot of history behind our bitterness. colts fans may be a little spoiled
I've been in Indianapolis for Christmas break...
they were booing and overall pissed. Fans wanted to go for perfection. Local government official called for the colts to give the fans back their money.
You know what would have been sweet...
If the Texans would have lost and it was the Steeler’s fans in here moaning.
You know what will be sweet....

Question:
When was the last time the Bengals won a nationally-televised game?
I think you are right.
We don’t do well on national tv, do we?
we dont play much on national tv either
and it doesnt help that this game essentially didnt matter.
I wonder why?
