Post Game Open Thread: Dolphins Drop Bengals To 2-5 On The Season

PrintToo much of Cincinnati's 22-14 loss to the Miami Dolphins reminded me of the team's 2008 season. Offensively, they looked terribly incompetent and the defense was forced to deal with consecutive three and outs, wearing them down to the point that the opposing team was able to impose their will late in the game with an exhausted defense.
Carson Palmer and the Cincinnati Bengals started the game off with a 15-play 86-yard touchdown drive. In the following ten drives throughout the rest of the game, Cincinnati would punt eight times and have a pass intercepted in Cincinnati's last possession. And the Bengals second touchdown was largely thanks to Chris Clemons' inability to catch a football. Aside from that, take out Cincinnati's opening possession and they were migraine-big embarrassing.
Defensively, the Bengals played well enough to contain. After back-to-back field goals by the Dolphins, the Bengals defense didn't allow a Miami drive of more than 40 yards until late in the third quarter, right in the middle of the offense's terrible display of "ball control". Eventually, the Bengals spirit and strength was sapped during Miami's 96-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter that sealed Miami's win.
The Bengals fall to 2-5, including a four-game losing streak, with the Pittsburgh Steelers on tap on Monday Night Football next week.

My favorite team sucks
I hate Mike Brown.

It was a fluke
they pretty much stunk outside of the division last year, except for getting lucky in Wisconsin that the Packers had a guy out across from Odom.
The only really good Bengals team in the last 20 years was 2005.

Andre Smith
any chance he would have been benched today or do you just let him get mauled – and Palmer gets mauled as well
the anchors of which were
handed to Marvin Lewis when he got here.

T.O, Benson and Ochocinco are disappointing.
I’m sure many will point out that there were palys where Carson’s throws should have been picked, but much of the time, the receivers were never open. Regardless of the fact that we had 6 pathetic drives, we had a legit chance at the end. The first pass to T.O should have been a touchdown if T.O had come back a little. The interception was on T.O when he just stopped running. That type of route usually leads to the receiver running to the sideline or turning to the endzone(Not sure, this is what I’ve seen. If i’m wrong, correct me).
Ochocinco was acting out all day and Gresham was droppin passes. Of the receivers only Shipley seemed to be working his tail off.
Benson needs to rotated with Scott a bit more. Thats more on Bratkowski. This has to be the most annoying loss since we didnt make any turnovers and we still lost. Looks like we have to 9 straight?
TO is not a disappointment at all.
He could leave tonight and I think he gave us more already then we really expected.
Misunderstanding
I didn’t mean he’s a disappointment for the season, just for this game. I guess seeing how hard he was working for us for the first 6 games, I expected a little bit more heart from him. I just hope Ochocinco can just start showing more discipline.

He's too soft
At least three times T.O. would of caught the ball if he either didn’t p***y out turning to look where the safety is or not being physical enough with the corner. Twice he waited and hoped to see if the ball was going to get past the corner, as opposed to going up, challenging the corner, and catching it at the highest point. The underthrow in the end zone towards the end of the game was a perfect example. Whether or not the ball is underthrown, he’s not physical enough and is too scared when going over the middle. Then if he does catch it in the middle, he loses five yards each time trying to avoid the defender and running backwards trying to create a play.
I really like T.O. and know he gives us a whole new demension, but damn….time to stop playing like a p***y.

Fucking Awfull
Lets come out and boss the game,only to fail completely in the 2nd half. Miami’s TD drive had plays of 21,18,32 yds in it,the main reason being the Defense being absolutely gassed by our offense having a million 3 and outs due the complete arse sucking offensive playcalling. Im sick of asking why the fuck Bernard Scott isnt seeing more of the ball!!! honest to god,no other teams forgets about a weapon like that. Im sure Miami’s Defensive co-ordinator was pissing himself laughing at our sorry effort. This season is now completely done and so is this team,I sense a return to the lost decade…
we need to blow her up
and not vasselate for a decade. I’ll probably get flack for this but the only keepers are J. Joseph, L. Hall and Carson. Maybe Whit should stay.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
You're not a million miles off with this
I just wonder without Palmer if it is actually any better.
The problem is with the backups, you just don’t really know.
You’re building around Shipley and Gresham.
But where is the rest of the defense going? Rey? Rivers?
Rey and Rivers
are not impact players.

High draft picks
…that’s all that seems to matter to the Bengals.
I reckon they have the most first rounders in the NFL on an active roster.
All their own busts
+ Reggie Nelson
+ Cedric Benson
+ T.O. (at a guess, I couldn’t be bothered looking)
+ …
TO wasn't a first-round pick
And he seems to be doing fine.
You guys will compete next week, they’re not far from putting up a good 4-quarter effort. May not result in a playoff year, but they’ll be competitive in a lot of games.
by Neal Coolong on Oct 31, 2010 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions
Reggie Nelson Had a decent game last week
Benson is good when we block good and call effective non obvious running plays, TO is the most consistent target we have in the passing game, keeping the score close, none of these losses are coming from the fact our players cant play. Its simply Conservative Play calling in the wrong situations. BAD COACHING
by Makin Edwards on Nov 1, 2010 11:23 AM EDT up reply actions
my belief and Bill Parcell's
is you start with the Offensive and defensive lines. Build from the inside out. You then have to get a good quarterback (doesn’t have to be a world beater but can’t lose it for you either). Then cornerbacks. Skill possition players can be had every year as fill ins.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
Wherever you start
Your team needs to make a commitment to developing its own players. There are way too many troubled free agents on Cincinnati’s roster. You can’t develop a team by shuttling new players in every year. They have to draft well (which they don’t do, top to bottom) and they need to have a leader at the quarterback position. I don’t believe Palmer is a strong leader, but at the same time, when they rotate in huge ego free agents every year, how do you expect him to maintain alpha status?
It’s not all about talent, it’s about chemistry. If the guys don’t fit in together, you aren’t going to win. You think Tampa Bay is the most talented team in the league? Absolutely not, but Freeman is a leader, and he has a bunch of guys the Bucs drafted around him. They all buy into what Morris teaches them, and they win games together.
Cincinnati does not do that.

well said
the Bengals don’t have a “system”. They seem to draft players and try to adapt those players to whatever is the system for that season. It starts from the top with an owner that thinks he knows how to run a team as the GM.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
Not sure
Hall has kept up his part of the bargain
Carson maybe not, but fair dues to him for taking the lick in the fourth regardless of his past injury problems – maybe it doesn’t work for him in Cincinnati, but he’s still got the savvy if the tools are there
No worries, jimbasa
Fair call, each to their opinion on this
He’s had one clearly awful game every season – but outside of that, I thought he was a potential gamechanger for the Bengals.

Since the season is fairly certainly gonna be a fail
‘d like the Bengals to try something drastic. Fire Brat in the middle of the season. It couldn’t be worse.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
Let's play Dan Skuta and Domata Peko at fullback
There is too much time on either Mike’s hands or on the hands of the coaching staff.
Blind leading the blind.
Bring in Pressley, Briscoe. Cut Simpson and other dead wood.
Carson Palmer's only shot
at NFL goodness is to do the Vinny Testaverde thing and end up elsewhere on a team that has everything but the competent QB, and then lift his game a bit to play more mistake free.
In Cincy his shot at a Super Bowl is basically over. After this year the Bengals will be in “rebuilding” mode, and there may not be a 2011 season. Ced, Ocho, TO are all reasonable bets not to be in a Bengals uniform for the start of the next season they play.

and a number two
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
OK
He has his own routes – and is allowed to continue.
There still seem to be a few “impossible” catches thrown his way.
Maybe his part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
Either way, the rebuild program has to start somewhere, stick in Simpson and Caldwell and see what they have to offer. Otherwise they’re not part of the solution either.
Simpson and Caldwell are busts
it’s already known cause Shipley beat them out so easily.
by occams_tiger_teeth on Oct 31, 2010 5:33 PM EDT up reply actions
It's sad man
He’s got the physical ability, but his mental ability is what i question. He’s a veteran that causes penalties and doesn’t run the correct routes. Then Carson throws a bad ball and he loses it. It’s like dude “Be an F’n Pro!”
but the problem is that #1 pick
was just as likely to be another Jerome Simpson as anything.

He was a No. 1 this year?
You brought in the king of No. 1 receivers to play alongside him. What did you expect was going to happen?
by Neal Coolong on Oct 31, 2010 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions
Maybe
Maybe Just Maybe, Lewis and Zimmer will chew out the players one final time like they did last year. And maybe, after we get Joseph, Odom, Ndukwe, all back, the team might actually start pulling out. And maybe just maybe, Carson will also chew out his team for not puttin in the effort and just giving up and TO can get into Ochocinco’s ear and force him to try as hard as he does. You can’t blame Carson for effort because he was persistent enough to run for the 1st down marker twice (even tho on one, he had Shipley pretty open). And just maybe we can be the essential Cardiac Cats and squeeze into the playoffs and make some noise like those jets last year.
But all in all, what can you expect from a group of players who know that they probably won’t get contract extensions. They start playing as individuals instead of doing whats good for the team so they can look good. Its like what Al pacino said “Either we heal as a team, or we crumble as individuals” Heres, to hoping the Bengals do the former
The problem is
You have a bad coach who is will to take a chance on too many players who have very questionable histories.
it's not the coaches making the personel decisions exclusively
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
what management?
It’s called Mike Brown Owner
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
What I'm saying
is that marvin is not the one resposible for the Bengals taking players with “questionable histories” as you so eloquently trolled.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
Who the hell do you think picked all the terrible coaches?
In the case of Chris Henry Marvin Lewis actually let it be publicly known he didn’t want to take him back for the umpty-umpth time it was Mike Brown “the redeemer” who overruled that.

What was the thinking?
Foschi and Caldwell in on the opening offensive play?
Interesting that Miami benched the CB that got done on the first TD – the Bengals persist in letting Andre Smith get torched (and thus allowing the “franchise” QB to get hit).
whose the replacement?
and Mike needs to see where his money is going.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
If it's truly like that
How the hell does he get away with “selling” tickets
The matches are held in Cincinnati for Brown’s (sadistic) enjoyment.
For Christ’s sake, you’d think a family with such heritage in the sport would have some pride.
there's no "heritage"
it was one person Paul Brown who was ahead of the curve in pro football. Genes are tricky things. Sometimes the apple falls way away from the tree.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
Paul Brown
Was still owner of the Bengals, setting up the franchise in Cincy, and ensuring it didn’t have an overall losing record as long as he was involved.
Clearly it has gone south since then, but the family has been around the game often enough. Maybe now money means more than winning matches. I drop the “maybe”, it’s clearly wrong.
Underachievement
Where will the changes happen first…
Dallas?
San Diego?
Denver?
Carolina?
Cincinnati?
Buffalo? (Cincinnati’s twin)
Minnesota?
Cleveland was not included because they’ve over-achieved
Buffalo (Cincinnati's ugly twin)
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
Re
Buffalo, Carolina knew they were rebuilding. Dallas, Minesota,San Diego just as dissappointing as Cincy. Denver is probably a dissappointment that is between the two groups.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
Of all those "disappointments"...
…which franchises will bounce back more quickly and why?
I reckon we all know the answer to one of them.
Anyone know why the Bengals qualifying for the playoffs ultimately sends the franchise back five years?
San Diego
They aren’t out of their division race, they have an elite QB, their best WR is returning and their defense is pretty good.
"They looked far more like they....were trying to screw the football than move it downfield" JungleJohn
good ?
jerry dont like to change in middle of season. San diego is still in it with there sorry division and denver still has a young coach. carolina may happen first. I think chilly will last the year. cincy wont make a change untill after the season becouse his contract is up. and the bills is a dumpster fire. So i say its between carolina and the bills

CB position
No one evaluates the CB position well. It’s all about pass coverage, if you ask the average Joe Sweatsock. I think Hall is an elite player, but Jonathan Joseph is one of the more overrated corners in the game. He gets beat plenty, and I don’t see him supporting the run all that well.

Curious
The next time the Bengals are getting blown out and moving the ball against the soft zone, will the sadly uninformed, needlessly optimistic homers hesitate for even a slight second before declaring the “offense is rolling” or “we can’t pin this on Palmer”?
I'm done backing Marvin...
I’m done backing Marvin, time for him to go too! How do you take the opening drive and score and then suck the rest of the game? Why dosen’t Marvin see that Brat sucks and needs to go? Why dosen’t Brown see that Brat needs to go? Question: Is Brat the most hated man in Cincy? I say fire them all at the end of the season and start fresh! There is too much talent on this team to suck like they do this year… say what you may, but it all boils down to coaching! Bring in Gruden and this group goes to the Super Bowl!
Mike Brown doesn't care
and nobody better than Marvin Lewis would want to work for Mike Brown.

Carson Palmer apologists, please go form your own blog and quit posting that he is making haters “eat crow” the next time he passes for over 300 yards in a blowout loss against prevent defense. The guy is simply brutal when going against even mediocre defenses.
Bratkowski must go. I still cant believe he is actually still around, but his 10 year old playbook is no longer relevant, and Palmer doesnt have the arm, accuracy, or mental toughness to execute the shitty plays that are given to him.
Didnt we draft a really athletic Tight End with great hands??? Maybe we should use him.

Mr. athletic TE dropped two easy first down catches.
Then walked out of bounds w/o getting touched for a 4 yard gain on another play. Played like a sissy in the fourth quarter today.
And this isn’t just a knock on Gresham, TO and Ocho played like fairies in the 4th as well. Some people gave up. Carson wasn’t one of them. I give him credit for that.
So I’m wondering where I should put the blame. The coaches for not being able to get these overly paid “stars” motivated? Or the 3 skill players that looked like they didn’t give a rat’s behind in the 4th?
How will Chris Carpenter explain this to his children?

Love your optimism!
You have to be going crazy like me watching a talented team squander a great opportunity because of poor coaching & leadership. They always look uninspired & unmotivated. They owe the fans more than what they are giving. If they were doing right by us & still losing then we could all stomach this season.

100% correct! they do owe us
I think all that falls on the coaches, especially Marvin. I am going crazy though

I don't know about the "talent"
O-line and D-line suck. A lot.

Looking at Chad's comment from this past week in light of the way he played today about making the best of his situation,
it seems like he’s resigned to losing. That sucks. Hopefully he’s gone soon. First time I’ve ever said that.
Hell, my fantasy football team name? 81+85=Super Bowl XLV. But I really don’t want this nonsense to rub off on a guy like Gresham, who showed something in the 4th today that he hadn’t shown all year, and that’s quit.
How will Chris Carpenter explain this to his children?
I was the #1 Ocho guy until he said that
I’m really disappointed in him

Please don’t fall victim to Bengalization Mr Gresham. You too Mr. Shipley.
