Second Half Open Thread: #4 Cincinnati Bengals 7 - #5 New York Jets 14

PrintIt was a promising start for the Bengals in this 2010 edition of the NFL Playoffs in Cincinnati. Reprising their role as the #4 seed in the AFC. Rookie Bernard Scott broke a huge return to start the game before Laveranues Coles fumbled the football away at the 20 yardline or so. The Bengals defense quickly shut down the Jets' running game, Brad Smith false started a down away, and the Jets proceded to punt it away with Jay Feely as their punter appeared to be injured or late to the game. After Lito Murray scooped up the punt and returned it into Jets' territory, the Bengals managed to score on the strength of Cedric Benson's runs and Carson Palmer's touchdown strike to Coles on an out route on 3rd and 6 from the 10.
The Bengals D continued to play good football against the run and Brandon Johnson made a nice play that forced Dustin Keller to drop an on-target pass from Mark Sanchez preceding another Feely punt. After a brilliant first-down effort from Cedric Benson that turned a loss into a 6-yard gain, the Bengals saw a 1-yard pass to Brian Leonard, Andre Caldwell dropped a pass over the middle that forced the Bengals to punt. Just before the wild first quarter of Wildcard Weekend expired. Marvin Lewis used his last challenge of the game and second timeout of the first quarter.
The offense was stagnant for the next few drives after Jay Feely's amazing punting skills pinned them deep in their own territory twice in a row. Shone Green broke a big run down the left side of the field as Leon Hall got held then pushed in the back and taken out of the play. 2 false start penalties killed the next drive before Carson forced a throw short to Chad Ochocinco that Darrelle Revis easily intercepted, leading to an interesting play-action boot that saw Dustin Keller wide open, pushed out short of the pylon perhaps (probably not), but the Bengals were already out of challenges. The Bengals had 6 minute to answer.
The "answer" was a personal foul on the kickoff, then a 16 yard loss on a sack and fumble before the Bengals punted away, again failing to produce on offense (primarily due to lack of a passing game), with a questionable no-call as Huber went down after the ball was away. The rest of the first half was uneventful, but instead of taking a knee to get to the lockerroom without injury, Andre Caldwell was injured while blocking for a garbage time Cedric Benson run and limped to the locker room as boos rained down from the crowd as the clock ticked to halftime with the Jets scoring the last 14 points of the half.
The breakdown is fairly simple. The Jets have 2 big plays and have otherwise been shut down, which gives cause to be optimistic. Take away Greene's big run and he was averaging 3.1 yards a carry on everything else. Thomas Jones averaged a measly 1.3 per run. Meanwhile, Mark Sanchez played perhaps his best half of football in the NFL, going 7/10 for 94 yards and a TD, good for a 132.9 rating. Cedric Benson looked great in the first half, going for 73 yards on 13 carries, but Carson Palmer couldn't provide a compliment. In the passing game, we've seen a fumble from a receiver, a badly underthrown interception, and a wide receiver fumble a pass that came in a few feet too high. On the bright side, the Bengals are winning time of possession this week. Fix the turnovers and make Mark Sanchez keep throwing it, and this game is salvageable. The Jets' sustainability is questionable given the Jets' inability to gain runs consistently. Defensively, the secondary has to recognize misdirection. That's the difference (besides the bad penalties, no-call on Greene's TD, and Carson's poor play) in the game right now.

I guess Palmer needs to step up
O-linee needs to block better
and offense has to be more aggressive

Bengals fans, don't panic.
This game is setting up in your favor. You want them to be ahead in the second half. In fact, you want the jets to be ahead going deep into the fourth quarter.
Why, you ask? Well, their offensive coordinater is Brian Schottenheimer. Their family tradition is to give up ridiculously painful losses near the end of games. Think of any team that Marty Schottenheimer coached in the playoffs.
Yeah. You guys got this. Don’t worry about it. Just get cozy, grab a slice of pizza and watch a jets collapse. Enjoy the game and enjoy the dagger you’ll put in the hearts of jets fans around the world.
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.

He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
This is true
I’m tired of the highlights of Revis “shutting down” Chad with his hands all over him. You can’t do that, and no one else in the league gets away with what he does.

Honestly.
Huge breaks with the penalties, both on NY’s FGs and the PI…and we still can’t put anything on the board.
Don't panic. Remember. You gotta take the lead in the fourth quarter so it is more crushing.
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.
Girl, you don't need to be a 10, as long as you have a good smile and smell like bacon.
They've been moving the ball pretty well, IMO, especially on the last drive.
It’s a bummer that the drive came up empty because of the missed FG, but you guys are at least giving yourself some opportunities.

if Tank puts his hands up on that play its a deflection and a kick….. now we give up a TD
we haven't made the jets earn any of their points yet.
every TD has been a play that it looked like someone blew an assignment, tackle or just simply gave up. I don’t see us coming back.
Good season, better than 4-11-1 but Rey and Odom sure would have helped today. So would a second wideout that could hold onto a ball.

Passing game continues to look anemic.
Nothing has been there down the field all year, tonight is no exception. Carson still does not appear to be sharp. Receivers aren’t getting very open and aren’t catching passes. The offensive line, while effective in the run, has not been too great in creating a pocket.
Why won’t the announcers acknowledge Revis’s tendency toward illegal contact and that Ocho’s gotten some yards from the aforementioned tendency? That’s not a shutout.

It started with the loss to the raiders.
Go Cosby
I HATE THIS FUCKING GAME FOR MAKING ME HOPE
Ocho and Palmer
have not been on the same page for two years
We need to replace Coles badly.
I don’t suppose we only signed him to a one year deal did we?

……. what a way to lose

Technically, we still would have lost, even if he'd made both
But he still sucks

it's really not that surprising, the offense was basically abysmal all season
Bratkowski needs to be shown the door, maybe he and Graham can share a cab to the airport.
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
if we keep Bratkowski, four wins will be quite the accomplishment
think how many fourth quarter comebacks we made this season. That’s not going to happen every year

You guys should shit all over Graham's house
Unacceptable. All that fcuker has to do is hit kicks. Get him the F out of Cincy

Still want hm gone. But I feel bad. ‘cause I’m a girl.
I've gone from neutral to anti-Graham.
dude gotta go if he can’t make either of those kicks.
Gnight, Slim
a TD and an on-side kick
it’s not over completely
yeah but graham would be kicking the onsides

he'd probably boot it out of bounds

Except that
If he made the first one, the Bengals might have went for it on 4th down instead of trying a field goal

Graham – 2 bad plays
Palmer — Too many to count
I really want to know why Palmer got outplayed by a rookie quarterback who had 20
inteceptions this season.

At least it wont be by an average rookie QB and a rookie head coach……
Dont lose anymore hair over it.

Game over.
Good game, Jets. Have fun getting handled by Indy or San Diego.
That's funny
I seem to remember us beating one of those teams by 2 touchdowns. But of course, they weren’t trying either. They’ll get us when they really care.
What a fitting end to the season

Hooray! He's four games under .500 over his career
but because this franchise has been so inept, he’s the second best ever! So, even though he isn’t actually GOOD! We should settle for mediocre
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
Can you count?
He’s .500. That’s the best winning percentage in Bengals history.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
Straight off the Website:
Regular Season: 46-49-1
Postseason: 0-1 (now 0-2)
Career Record: 46-51-1
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
Okay, so he's 56-57-1 overrall
which means he’s the EPITOMY of Mediocre.
Sorry, just because the Franchise has been bad, I don’t get excited about mediore.
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
Or we could hire someone worth a crap
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
I wouldn't be heartbroken by that
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
He's the best coach we've had in a long time
and if you’re better, why would you want to come deal with Brownie
The best we've had in a long time
is Five games under .500 for his career. Being the best of a bad group isn’t saying that much
I guess I'm just a worrier, that's why my friends call me whiskers
It would be nice but it won't happen
Mike wouldn’t make a change unless Marvin went a couple years at 3-13 and peoiple were in his lawn with torches and pitch forks.

Seahawks fan here
Since my team was out I was really hoping you guys were going to finally win this year. I really feel for you guys, you deserve way better than this.
Thanks for all the fun on the board this season fellas
Its been a roller coaster for sure. Just sucks it had to end this soon.
My three favorite things in the world in no particular order: My wife, sex with my wife, and The Cincinnati Bengals
bottom line they were an average team at best
which had a few games go their way when they didnt deserve them
Good regular season guys- see you next year
Too bad it game down to our franchise tag messing up..but I am happy that we have pieces – defensively – to build with.
Jets fans – congrats and good luck on the rest of the season.
Not necessarily
If it was a one possession game, Benson would still have been a factor. With a 10 pt deficit, there was literally no chance of a run.
Congrats Bengals on a great season.
C Ben is a beast.

Unfortunately, when you pull the “We didn’t try last week” bullshit, Jets fans have every right to come on here and pop off. I’d be pissed and somewhat vindicated as well. Goal for 2010, Cincy Jungle: Let’s be a little more realistic about the team, eh?

Speed & Tight End
We see what not having a speed receiver & a possession TE receiver is worth. Should have paid TJ. Cosby showed something & Benson was awesome.
I'd almost rather them try not to go out and get a TE
Everytime they try, they end up with something worse than what they let go.
Come read all the bullshit crybaby crap your "homies" posted on our site kid. Grow up.
Thomas Jones runs this league
uh,
you just won a wlldcard card game. they are not the same as super bowls. there is another game next week.
you, like bengal fans, need more championships to talk trash or respond to trash.
i was not bragging or talking shit genius
i was telling your unintelligent self to go read all the shit you guys talked to us about “not trying at all” last week and to not get all butthurt when i come and talk shit back after we swept your ass. Try to keep up
Thomas Jones runs this league
Congrats, move on
It all goes both ways all week, when the game is over it over. You all should be checking the Indy & Charger sites. Move on & let us bengal fans do what we do best in this time of the year… sulk about what could have been, the JETS earned it tonight.

Trade Brat for Shottenheimer
Offensive gameplan by Jets was superior tonight, catching defense off guard with good play action play calling, something Brat just never grasped this season.
Next Year?
Zimmer GONE!
Palmer STAYS!
Graham GONE!

How about calling him "OJ" now?
So when can we expect Chad to change his name as promised? Remember the one he made on national TV before week 16? Okay so we gave him a mulligan on that one — but no m ore pree passes — time to put up. OchoJohnson has a nice ring. Whatever, I really don’t care — no matter what you call him he still can’t survive on Revis Island.
