Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

Post-Game Discussion Thread: #4 Cincinnati Bengals 14 - #5 New York Jets - 24

The Bengals gave up some sort of field position with a failed onside kick or completely shanked kickoff to start the 2nd half, but it only led to Jay Feely 42 and 52-yard field goal attempts negated by penalties. The Jets opted to punt rather than attempt a 57-yarder, and Feely dropped another one inside the 20... but, importantly, the Jets came away without points. Thus appeared a golden opportunity to turn momentum around and take control of the psychological edge.

And Cedric Benson, predator of souls, decided to do just that behind some great blocking, great second efforts, and Chad Ochocinco pancaking Darrelle Revis. Even old coach Gibbs recognized the momentum shifting (for a few minutes). Unfortunately, a hobbled Andre Caldwell couldn't reel in a first-down pass from Carson Palmer, and Golden boy Graham decided to be terrible and miss a 30-yard field goal. So much for that mo'.

Shonn Greene found a lot of space outside of the tackles, particularly on the left side, and Jerricho Cotchery made another amazing catch on the sideline. Playaction and more handoffs chewed up time and yardage as Mark Sanchez decided he was a decent quarterback, and Thomas Jones finished off the drive with a TD. Things were beginning to look grim in Cincinnati. The defense looked wiped and the offense looked, as it has all year, offensive.

The Jets took possession back minutes into the 4th quarter and resumed pushing the ball up the field on the backs and blocks of their punishing offensive line, but came up short on a 3-and-out and the Bengals got the ball back with plenty of time left to come back.

And they got on the right track with a Cedric Benson 47-yard touchdown run after Chad Ochocinco beat Darrelle Revis for the first time in the game. Were things turning around? The Bengals got the quick strike they needed to get back into the game.

But two huge plays - a Dustin Keller 41 yard reception, and a big Shonn Green first-down run or two put the Jets in position to make a field goal and make it a 2-possession game. Graham's missed field goal looming large, huh? Less than 6:00 left, down 10, the Bengals needed another :50 second score or something of that nature. Alas, time ticked away as Carson Palmer continued to airmail passes and the Bengals best player, Cedric Benson, was taken out of the game because there simply wasn't enough time left. When Shayne Graham missed his second field goal of the game, he punched his ticket out of cincinnati, and Cincinnati's ticket out of the post-season.

The Bengals managed to get the ball back with over 3 minutes to play in the game, but penalties (holding and an illegal shift) killed momentum and sapped  the clock before Carson Palmer took his second sack of the game and faced a 4th and 22 to save the season. Carson held onto the ball until he got sacked for the second consecutive play, and the Jets had 3 knees to take to end the football game.

Penalties were truly devestating in this game. The game started out clean for the Bengals, but as penalties kicked in, so did ineptitude on the offensive side of the ball. Big plays were negated. Time was wasted. It was an abysmal performance by Carson Palmer, Ghayne Graham and the secondary. Overpursuit gave up 2 big runs and 3 huge receptions. Mark Sanchez made no mistakes. Carson did.

Heads must roll.

i have to agree

2 chippie FG’s in a home playoff game is unexcusable, especially for a FRANCHISED kicker.

Feely shows some cahones drilling 42 and 52 yard FG’s before a 2nd penalty forced him to punt, which he did damn well this game. Suck it, Shayne.. .

It's one season, gentlemen...

You routinely draft in the top 10. It’s been almost a decade since we’ve been that far down, and while congratulations are in order for your division championship, the fact of the matter is you were average at best over the second half of the year.

If it makes you feel better that, in the rarest of rare instances, you beat Pittsburgh twice this season, then maybe that’ll make you feel better after losing to a 6 seed again in the first round of the playoffs.

I'm not ready to give up on Carson

He’s been struggling for the last few years (especially in terms of throwing high), but it’s not like he has an o-line that can pass-block, a deep WR corps, or an OC with a brain in his head. Let’s try getting those things first.

What has happened to his arm strength?

he’s been throwing floaters all year. It looks really bad after watching college bowl season to see Carson lobbing the ball everywhere. His shoulder was bad all last year and they elected not to do surgery. I wonder if it never got better.

Hey guys, just come over to say thanks for the talk this week, obviously a tough time for you guys right now, and most definitely not here to gloat or anything stupid like that. Can sympathise with a kicker screwing up in the post season, but you have a lot of exciting players, and you guys were right Benson is an incredible player. He owned our run defence will give you that.

Good Luck To The Jets

They beat us, pure and simple. Ced played great and we need to make sure we keep him and Zimmer. Losing Henry really sunk our deep passing game. Shank, I mean Shane is our “franchise” choker . I’m not giving up on Carson, but that “golden arm” stuff has gotta go.Golden dog leg maybe.

by laibach on Jan 9, 2010 7:59 PM EST reply actions  

Not worried about defense

I am not worried about our defense at all next year (we do need depth at DB and a kick ass Safety)..Offense is a different issue – I love the commitment to the run, but we need to be able to go pass happy when necessary. Carson is a great QB, but I think he really needs to have a good QB coach or an experienced back up QB like Kitna to talk to on the sideline and of course, not have Coats to throw to.

by BlitzAway on Jan 9, 2010 7:59 PM EST reply actions

how far a decent offensive coordinator can help out a team. Most of us Bengals fans have been all over Brat for his lack of an even average offense and now we just got beat by a team that’s offensive coordinator can hide an inexperienced QB.

Just when I thought...

…we’d get along. I can’t control what MB does. You can’t control what the Pirates Front Office does. You are not suggesting you will only root for the team that consistently wins are you? (because life isnt always that fair).

by BlitzAway on Jan 9, 2010 9:03 PM EST up reply actions  

You're right

I can’t control it. I do, however, support franchises that have enough fighting spirit to do the best they can. I refuse to believe the Pirates have the balls and the competitive spirit to look themselves in the mirror and say they’ve done the best they can. Plenty of small-market teams have made power moves and not just future moves and found themselves to be competitive.

I don’t root for the Pirates and I won’t ever, even if they finally catch lightning in a bottle, because they’ve disrespected the fans for far too long. They’ve made a mockery of the legacy that Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell and the rest of the last decent baseball franchise in that city put forward. I won’t support it, and I have no qualms about stating that.

Not the players, mind you, the ownership group. I do not root only for teams that win, I root for teams that put a respectable product on the field in terms of effort, from the roster, sir, on up through the front office.

I would think any Cincinnati Reds fan would agree with me (Eric Davis was my idol growing up and I still have newspaper clippings when he popped his kidney or whatever in the 1990 World Series against Oakland).

Clarifying

1. For starters, stop saying “we” when you talk about the team you are a fan of unless you work for them in some capacity
2. There are fans – of all teams – that can get downright abusive. I could not care less about them. I will call you out as being pathetic if you do.
3. Someone puts out a winning team? Its because of the front office and management. Bengals have MB. Any wins they get are “despite” him.

Oh no!

Don’t call me out! Please?!?

I’ll call them “we” as much as I fuckin want to. Why? It’s a culture in our city.

Be advised, I don’t own the city of Pittsburgh either, but I’m gonna refer to it in a sense of ownership because we take pride in it. The city is a part of us, just like the team is. You clearly don’t have anything that unites you with your family or your neighbors. The Steelers do that for us.

And since you brought it up, I couldn’t care less if you agree with that or not. I’m sorry your owner doesn’t give you reason to take pride in your team, but put a Steelers hat on, and that’s what you’ll experience.

Who said the only thing?

Keep trying, though, I feel so embarrassed right now.

The ownership of the Pirates let the city down. The ownership of the Steelers did not. I don’t acknowledge the Pirates, and it has nothing to do with their record. It’s their lack of committment to the fans. Sort of like the Bengals, so I can understand your hatred toward people who believe in something.

And I’ve lived in lots of places, and travel routinely for work. I didn’t say anything about raising a family. I said that’s where me and my family were raised. Truth be told, I live in Minnesota, I’ll raise a family here just fine.

I love the sheer arrogance, though…nothing suggests world traveler more than someone who assumes no one else has any reason to offer an opinion.

Offseason Wishlist

1. Release L. Coles
2. Throw Bratkowski in the river
3. Trade for Brandon Marshall
4. Draft a huge D Tackle
5. Resign Zimmer

No matter what this season has been a success and if people come on here and talk shit, like the jets win somehow justifies their own existence because of where they are from or who they root for, then they need to reassess their priorities in life. I enjoy talking with fellow fans, but people who have enough time to lurk on other teams sites and run their mouths really demonstrates how useless they are.

Speed Receiver, Possession Receiving TE, New O-Coord

Bengals played hard but just didn’t have the components of a balanced passing game. Brat was out coached by Shottenheimer tonight. The Jets had great mis-direction & play action, they did not ask Sanchez to do more than he could, they were more prepared on offense. The Bengals D made it a game & the offense couldn’t get it done. Injuries killed the Bengals down the stretch, but that’s part of the game, we need more depth.

But he didnt fumble on the first drive,he didnt drop the ball inside the 5(caldwell) he had Chad in the endzone(Albeit a great effort by 85) and it was also a drop. nad it is the playcalling.Late in the game 2nd and 9 we run Benson off tacle for a yd. asking your qb to be surgical on 3rd and long is a big ask.

at the risk of interrupting the trash talk

The five things that cost us this game:

1. Credit where credit is due: Sanchez was good when he had to be.

2. Palmer’s had an awful game, particularly in the first half.

3. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again part one: you can’t take all these cheesy penalties before the snap or after the play. They false started at least as often as the Jets… at home!? Terrible. There’s got to be some problem with the coaching on offence when this problem doesn’t get fixed all season long.

4. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again part two: they have to protect the ball better, instead of having the receivers waving it around in the air like a discus while they try to pick up extra yards. This reflects coaching problems on offence as well.

5. Even at the age of 41, never having played a down of any sort at any level, I can hit a 28 yard field goal. Shayne Graham was pretty good for several years, but so was Brad St. Louis before he started making costly mistakes. I think Graham is done, and would be overjoyed if Bratkowski went with him.

That is a nfl record u bungholes can be proud of, Its also a record that will stand the test of time. You bungholes can brag about that. When is the steelers next playoff game? You bungholes got us on that one. You were superb this season. You bungholes went undefeated in the afc north and took divison champs only to back up into the jets pole going south. Cya next year cry babies. If need let steelerNation know, i believe we have something to wipe those decades of being defeated. Next time cheer for ur bungholes instead of booing them with time in the game. Ohhhhhh! sorry bout that one, it wasnt boos, it was ooo’s, thats right.

A season without drama & adversity

Think I would trade a draft pick for a season next year without drama. Who ever the Bengals draft I hope they don’t go shopping for cheap picks that are social projects. The off-field adversity this season was the teams biggest test & they did as well could be expected.

seeing as I've been a critic so far

game balls in a losing cause to:

1. Cedric Benson – first rate.

2. Domata Peko – the Jets got very little between the tackles this week with Peko back. If he hadn’t had the knee scope, he would have had an outside shot at the Pro Bowl.

If...

we had made 2 chipshots, and Chad had somehow managed to keep control of that TD pass, we would be all talking about how the Bengals proved our doubters wrong and looking forward to the Chargers or Colts. It didn’t happen. Graham will be fired. Yes we had a few penalties (too many pre-snap) but that’s not what killed us today. It was execution. So here’s how I see it:
Marvin keeps his job
Zimmer gets poached
We draft a WR or TE with our first pick to add a badly-needed weapon to the passing game.
Next year is a losing season.

Just a shame we couldn’t get ourselves a marquee matchup in the divisional round. But remember the good times: the Cardiac Cats coming back from the grave multiple times to sweep the AFC North, and that glorious performance against the Bears, and the way we hung with the Chargers at their place.

I reserve the right to refer to the team + fans combined as “we”. Win or lose. If you’ve got a problem with that, I don’t give a damn.

1. im gonna give the jets props i dont think they outplayed us but we were definitely outcoached( big surprise lol). im dissapointed but im not surprised idk if all the injuries caught up or what but were not the same team as we were 6 weeks ago.
2. we lost more than 6 points with shaynes missed chipshots bc they caused major momentum shifts
3. im not gonna get on carson or coles, but they are getting paid too much money for their production.
4. we need to score more points next year or we will be 7-9 our defense is good but not top 5 regardless of what stats say
5. lol at trolls especially texans fans i never woulda thought the jets fans would be the classy ones

Nah, same old Bengals would’ve shit the bed a lot earlier and not made the playoffs. It was a dream season by our standards.

Heres a Positive

Well, hockey season officially begins,

but I thank the Bengals for a year where we got to play one more than other teams. And though they Bungled away too many opportunities to point the blame using only one finger, they competed. Not always do 4-11-1 teams change over one season, but 10-6? A playoff game in Cincy? At least we stand on a precipice near the top of a tall mountain we scaled farther up than mountain than anyone expected us to climb. And here we sit, after a long night’s frustration with the fans of eleven other teams (none of whom, btw, were the Steelers). Eleven other teams … and we were one, one of the few who got an extra chance at it. Tonight, though disappointed, I am content because my team showed up. They made mistakes, but as they’ve done all year they didnt turn on each other but stuck together and kept running for the goal line. What else does one need to do in life but enter the locker room, and begin looking ahead? And I look forward to next year, but first I look forward to the official beginning of hockey season. See you all near draft time! (Get Gilyard!)

Marvin - eat your own words

Bengals team is not mature enough to just turn it on and off. Lewis is absolutely correct that this team needs at least a few more years to grow up and to learn that they do not have their own characters yet. Palmer seems lost, not the type of leader you need at that position. May be we’d better start thinking QB in the next draft. You can’t always blame the receivers.
