Wreck Your Team Campaign Peaks: Bengals Knock Chargers Out Of The 2010 Playoffs With 34-20 Win

PrintThis week's Wreck Your Team campaign took us to Paul Brown Stadium as the San Diego Chargers needed a win to remain in contention for the 2010 NFL Playoffs. Three hours after kickoff, the Cincinnati Bengals officially eliminated the San Diego Chargers from the 2010 Playoffs after the Bengals offense put 34 points up on the league's best rated defense and held Phillip Rivers and the league's second-best offense to only 20 points and nearly 100 yards under their average 397 yards/game. (Note: The Chargers had about 280 total yards when the Bengals took a 34-13 lead).
Before the game, Chad Ochocinco sat while struggling with bone spurs in his left foot. Jerome Simpson started in his place and caught six passes for 126 yards receiving, including a game-clinching 59-yard touchdown reception to give Cincinnati a 27-13 lead with just over six minutes left in the game. Simpson caught two touchdowns. After Geno Atkins knocked the football down at the line of scrimmage to force a turnover on downs, the Bengals answered with three-straight runs for 26 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown, to give the Bengals a 34-13 lead.
Notes:
- The Bengals scored a season-high 34 points, which is the first time that the Bengals scored 30 points or more and won.
- Carson Palmer recorded four pass touchdowns and 269 yards passing, completing 16 of 21 passes. This translates to a passer rating of 157.2. It's a career best, with 146.7 against the Chicago Bears on October 25,2009, being the second.
- This is the first time Palmer has four touchdowns in 2010 and the first four-touchdown performance since throwing for five touchdowns against the Bears on October 25, 2009.
- The Bengals scored three touchdowns on their final three possession, excluding the five-play end-of-the-game drive to pick up a first down.
- The Bengals defense forced the Chargers to punt four times and fumble one during San Diego's first five possessions of the game. The Bengals defense finished with four forced punts, three turnovers, two field goals and a touchdown.
- Simpson and Andre Caldwell, the two receivers starting for Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens, caught 10 passes for 211 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
- Carlos Dunlap recorded his eighth sack of the season, continuing a streak of at least a shared sack in five straight games and six in the previous seven games.
- The Cincinnati Bengals reached the Red Zone four times, and scored four touchdowns.
- Rey Maualuga recorded his second interception this year, returning the football 47 yards. The Bengals ran four plays and scored a touchdown to take a 20-10 lead.
- Kelley Washington is an ass-clown, for some show-boat display of displeasure with the Bengals. After a scoring a touchdown late in the game, Washington shouted for everyone to move so he could hit the Bengals banner in the endzone.
Next week's Wreck Your Team campaign will take us to Baltimore as we work to make sure that the Ravens remain as the fifth seed. With a win next week, the Ravens can take the second seed if the Pittsburgh Steelers lose to the Cleveland Browns. It's not the glorious fireworks of knocking a team out of the playoffs, but as long as another team has to suffer from the Bengals finally playing good football, then we'll be fine with that.

A few observations...
I didn’t even read through the other thread, so this may or may not be what you guys have been saying.
1. Jerome Simpson was a beast. He caught everything that came his way and ran every route hard. Can’t wait to see him become a regular.
2. Kelly Washington is still a fucking idiot. Dude, act like you’ve been in the end one before.
3. Palmer played a nearly flawless game. Great game from him. He’ll be our QB next year, and I like it.
4. Dunlap is still awesome. How about when he dropped back into coverage?
5. I liked the little bit of trickery. There wasn’t anything crazy but some plays stick out. Especially the play where they broke out of the huddle quick and sent Simpson on a streak.
6. Reggie Nelson was everywhere. He made a couple mistakes but he’s evolving into a (very, very) poor man’s Polamalu.
GREAT WIN, AND WHO DEY!!!

Yea, how the f do we trot out ocho who gets us 1 catch every week and then Simpson strolls in and has 124 yards and 2 td’s. It’s obvious we care too much about personalities rather than playing the best player. Ocho probaby should have been benches weeks ago after his continuous poor performances; maybe that would have waken his ass up.

Currently 10 4 or 5 win teams.
Bengals win next week not only would they likely take 3rd in the division (which would be bad) and could fall into the 8th-11th position in the draft (which would be bad).
But on the flip side, beating the Ravens would be great. It’s a tough one for me. Wish they would have just lost to the Browns last week and then won these next 2.
Disagree
Losing to the Browns is like losing your virginity to the girl in the tuba section of the pep band. Just a bad idea.

Lets take out the Ravens
Well, they’re in already but we can begin a losing streak for them. This will be the next test.
Simpson and Scott played more who knows

Something I was thinking about...
We really might be able to go BPA in the first round.
People thought we needed a QB, Palmer is stepping up. Then it was DE. Dunlap and MJ are stepping up. Next up was WR. Jerome Simpson is doing good and another good performance next week will prove he’s not a bust. He can be the #1.
I think it’s down to either Fairley or trading back for more picks and getting a couple linemen.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
I will not be happy with Fairley.
He might be a great player but anyone who hangs out with JaMarcus Russell is a loser and I’d hate to see anyone that might be influenced by him.
They are friends?

Scott is still NOT our next starter.
He can’t take the physical grind of 20-25 carries per game. Keep him in his role that he has now, just with a few more reps.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
+1
Need someone to do the heavy lifting and dirty work, and have Scott as a change-of-pace guy.
I've been saying that all season but some people don't get that.
Ced and Scott are a great tandem when Brat uses them right. BScott doesn’t get those big bursts without Cedric pounding the defense all day.
I just want to know what Ced wants as far as money goes.
If he wants the money of a star HB, I don’t want him back. He isn’t really a star.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
I think he's rightfully going to test the waters...
but ultimately, I think he knows he isn’t getting superstar money with his age and mileage on him. I think Cincy has a great chance to sign him back for a slightly improved salary.
I was thinking about it and you could make the argument that he's the worst starting HB in the division.

People forget
Scott is a 2nd year player. He is a great receiver already and averages over 5 per carry.
He can be our main RB with a 3rd down back added in the off season.
Benson does not fit with our offense. I have been saying this all year.
Way too many times he gets the ball 1st and 2nd down and forces Palmer to make obvious 3rd and long throws.

I would love to have John clay or some bruiser in the 3rd and 4th round. Actually, I’d like to have Michael bush of the raiders to team up with Scott. He’ll be a free agent this year.

This was Bradshaws 3rd season. He bulked up in the offseason, added muscles. Scott can do the same thing. Then we draft a 3-4th round RB to complement Scott

I wish I could figure this team out.
NO IDEA what to do this off season now. I still think a viable #2 quarterback needs to eb drafted – at least to develop and worst case to finally give Carson some legitimate competition for the starting job. This game alone will probably convince Mike Brown to keep him next year – and maybe that’s not the end of the world. He definitely needs to stop staring down receivers though…it’s really awful and he has to be damn near PERFECT with his accuracy to make up for it, like he was today.
So I was all set to relegate Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell to #3-4 receivers…both looked insane today. Caldwell was the fastest player on the field by a MILE. I thought AJ Green was a sure pick for us in the top 5. Now I’m not entirely sure.
More importantly, I think Jerome Simpson might have, or at least should have, provided all the evidence we needed that Marvin should be done here. There were grumblings with his reasoning for benching Carlos Dunlap for a FEW GAMES. What could Simpson have been doing for the last 3 YEARS? Yes he benefited from some shaky defensive play, but he also looked like a straight up BALLER. Marvin Lewis owes every fan of this team an explanation as to why the kid has been so utterly wasted all this time. You don’t go from being an inactive waste of a roster spot to a superhero against the #1 defense in the league in one week.
I think Locker will fall far enough to steal him possibly in the 2nd
even Mallett could be groomed as a later round project

I'd rather sign a veteran QB to back Carson

Please no Delhomme, I'd be cool with a Kitna

We need to draft one this draft or next.
Let him spend a year or two behind Carson sitting, watching and learning. Then he’ll be fully ready to take over. If Carson is totally done by then and won’t be starting anywhere, he can stay on as a backup. I want this treated exactly like the Palmer-Kitna situation, personally.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
They need to have a legit backup though.
Someone who can teach the new kid. You can’t ask Carson to lead the team and teach his successor. Kitna was different because he was never the franchise player nor expected to be the guy.
You mention a gm. What exactly is that?

So the question is:
IS this just the bengals doing what they do best (lose 10 straight then win a bunch in garbage time) or is this a sign of the future.
The guys who stepped up were the young ones (save Palmer.)
That makes me optimistic that this is a sign for the future.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
+1 Good Call
We’ve been blaming the O-Line all year, but the receivers have had a lot to do with Palmer’s inconsistencies. Maybe it’s both, but these last two games make me think that it’s more one than the other…..
This is our year!
Shit
I was hoping that sack Dunlap got tied him up with Suh. I checked the box svore and it turns out Suh got a sack today.
Dunlap needs to do some serious work on the Ravens if he wants the Rookie of the Year.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
Or the rookie sack lead, I should say.
ROY is still probably not going to him, no matter what happens..
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
Considering Suh's a DT and a major cog in Detroit's DLine dominance, I'd say Suh's got DPOY on lock.
Joe Reedy: "Supposedly Marvin could not find his flag to challenge the call. I am not kidding. #bengals"
Screw it.
Let’s draft Fairley.
Joe Reedy: "Supposedly Marvin could not find his flag to challenge the call. I am not kidding. #bengals"
May not get a chance at Fairley
A win next week could drop the Bengals to the 9th pick.
Even after the win today they are still 3rd and would remain 3rd with a loss and a Denver loss. A Cin loss and a Denver win would put the Bengals 2nd. Buffalo will have a higher SOS in case of a tie with them.
I wouldn't complain.
Dropping to ninth in the draft wouldn’t be terrible at all, and staying pat isn’t either. With the ninth overall pick, we’re not so terribly screwed monetarily, and with the second overall pick, it’d be easier to market. Though with Buffalo losing, I would think it’d alter just a bit.
Joe Reedy: "Supposedly Marvin could not find his flag to challenge the call. I am not kidding. #bengals"
Drafting 9th...
probably still lands you Julio Jones (if you want to go the WR route, although, if it’s not Green, it’s not worth it), one of the “elite” DL options will likely slip (Bowers, Fairley, Dareus, Quinn or Clayborn). Ultimately, I would rather take the 3rd spot and trade down to someone like Detroit or Dallas who may want to jump for Peterson. There is such a large need of upgrades, that amassing draft picks would be great.
Best. Player. Available. I don’t care what position. I think we could get locker in round 2…maybe pryor in round 2 or 3? You know those Ohio state players will enter the draft…. Love to get devier posey in round 2/3 and pryor as a project if he enters.

If Pryor goes
he’ll be a very late round. He’s not that good and may be used as a WR. He’s fast and tall.
or the mental toughness needed to be a QB.
It’d be an even less talented Vince Young. His prima donna attitude won’t accept being anything else. Also, he’s a buckeye, why further poison the team with those kind.
Woah, dude
take that back I’m a Buckeye! Just b/c I think Pryor isn’t a NFL caliber QB doesn’t mean he doesn’t have talent. He should actually start practicing to be a WR.
if he plays WR.and runs a 4.4 at.the combine
I can see if getting drafted in the 3rd round

Meh
He hasn’t proven that he’s a receiver. We know nothing about his hands, route running, ability to get separation, etc. He’s big and fast, which is a good start. But his size his the only thing to separate him from someone like Armanti Edwards, who was a 6th round pick if I’m not mistaken.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
Also, it's nice to be on the NFL homepage's spotlight again for something positive.
Joe Reedy: "Supposedly Marvin could not find his flag to challenge the call. I am not kidding. #bengals"
From Palmer, as to Simpson and Caldwell. Note the first thing he says:
“They ran great routes and made big plays,” Palmer said. “They made some of the biggest plays we’ve had all season.”
