Open Thread Quarter 2: Cincinnati Bengals (0) at New England Patriots (10)

The Bengals opened the season with the ball in Foxborough and they looked to air the ball out early. Carson Palmer was 1/2 for 14 yards and took a sack on the opening possession, and Terrell Owens dropped the incomplete pass on a fly route when rookie Devin McCourtney got a hand in the break it up. Benson had 2 carries for 8 yards, but the sack killed the drive on 3rd and 2.
The Patriots came out on fire, with a play action pass to rookie tight end Aaron Hernandez for 50 yards getting the Patriots into the redzone. A quick screen that everyone had to have seen coming with Wes Welker lined up behind two tight ends on the left led to the first 7 points for the Patriots. Shoddy tackling and a blown assignment can be blamed for this one. The Bengals defense simply failed to adjust to the play action and telegraphed bubble screen that led to the touchdown.
On the Bengals' second possession, after a 9-yard pass to Ochocinco to start the drive, the Bengals offense stalled on a failed stretch hand off to Benson and a hurried Palmer incomplete pass to resident punching bag Daniel Coats. The defense at this point needed badly to step up and bail out the stagnant-so-far offense. The Patriots picked up 15 yards on 5 plays before a bubble screen, again, resulted in a first down for the Patriots. There was some offensive pass interference on the play that went uncalled. Turns out that 3rd down was pretty pivotal, as Fred Taylor ripped a big run behind amazing blocking and Bengal over pursuit. Another 3rd down, this time in the red zone. The Bengals defense comes through on a Kevin Faulk drop (of what would have been a touch down pass), and holds the Patriots to a field goal.
A Benson fumble capped off the first quarter. Things are looking dire for the Bengals so far, and they ma be facing a a large deficit at halftime without a big play to change momentum. I blame the offensive line to this point - but the defense hasn't been very good either. The Bengals need to pick it up in the second quarter - starting NOW!

Maybe turning the field around will help.
Joseph just laid a dude out on a blown coverage.. again.. I’m glad there wasn’t a flag. That was lucky.
JJ was such a pussy when he came into the league.
No one can say that any more.

OT: If you didn't know
sounds like Connor Barwin’s ankle was blown to pieces this afternoon.
There's a break. So far, the second quarter has gone well.
Benson’s fumble doesn’t hurt too bad yet.
Notice when the Bengals audible and shift guys around
it’s almost always a running play. When the Pats do that you have no idea what’s coming.
Watch for it next time. I wonder if anyone from Football Outsiders has a chart.

Either our OL sucks or their defense isnt near as bad as was reported
My three favorite things in the world in no particular order: My wife, sex with my wife, and The Cincinnati Bengals
O-line sucks
if all they had to do is pound the the run game with an extra tackle they’re good. Otherwise Meh.
What the fuck
has happened to the OL? They weren’t this awful last year.
towards the end of the year they were kinda awful
the offense was really struggling last year it was only the cupcakes on the schedule that allowed them to eke into the playoffs — barely generated much against KC at home.

We are making the New England defense look incredible.
Super Bowl-level, really. Is the o-line REALLY that bad where we can’t do 5-step or 7-step drops w/Carson?

Every phase of the game is just terrible. Halftime can’t come soon enough.
This has to be Brat's last year

No, because if he did, he'd pass a lot more.

Are we gonna be subjected to those awful Mike and Molly ads all season?
Wow, guys. Step away from the ledge, seriously.
I know they look like crap, but you do remember that New England was 8-0 at home last year and they’re reputed to be a decent football team, right? For crying out loud, we’re barely into the second quarter of the season. Nothing’s lost, we’re not picking #1 overall in April. Just chill for a bit.
I think (well most of us)
are mostly being facetious about this.

How can u seriously say its Mike Brown's fault
Look at the players… Its the first game of the season and they’re playing like its a lock for the playoffs and they’re just going through the motions…Its lewis not getting them ready to play…good move not to extend him, so Brown made a GOOD MOVE
It's Mike Brown's fault
because big fattie the #6 pick in the draft isn’t doing crap while Baltimore’s guy picked 20 picks later is gonna be all-pro.
It’s Mike Brown’s fault cause the Offensive Coordinator has kept his job for 10 years despite the fact that he’s not qualified to pump gas.
And there’s millions of other reasons. The Rot starts at the top. When a team mostly stinks for 20 years and changes all the parts, and the stadium, except for the GM, you know it’s the GM.

of that first Pittsburgh game. It looked we were gonna get murdered then they came rushing back. At least…I hope that happens.
So the Bengals will be the blowout of the day
Thank you Mike Brown, Marvin Lewis and the rest of the characters

I realy don't think Brat's at fault today
The O-line is only good if they play with an extra tackle and they pound the ball running. Otherwise, they can’t transition between pass protection and run. They should consider running no-huddle just to get into some rhythm.
I havnt been this embarrased in a long time.
Even in the 90’s when we got embarrassed all the time\ this season was supposed to be different I did so much smack talking i told everyone that these bengals were for real.
Well one thing everybody should learn from the 20 year dark ages
is never talk smack about the Bengals. Never.
They haven’t had consecutive winning seasons since Ronald Reagan’s first term. They have never had two consecutive years with a playoff win. This is a team with some especially horrible history, thanks to Mike Effin Brown. And the history has to weigh on the players — they’re going “Not again” right now.

is gonna be annoying.
Probably helpful though...
We played better with a chip on our shoulder. I don’t think they knew how to handle the high expectations.
This is where Mardy would have been helpful
Granted the premise he can do to NE what he did to Pitt.

There's nothing Mardy can do
that Shipley can’t. It doesn’t matter anyways with Carson “2005 was so long ago” Palmer.

got a combined 3.5 sacks for the eintire year

our last 8 games (including playoff loss) the D-Line total put up like six sacks
we play a 4-3 the LBs
stop the run and play the pass…3-4 is where the LB’s rush the passer
I understand that… I just find it hard to believe that a top-five defense didn’t get sacks.
I literally haven’t seen those statistics.
lol trust me...
I’m a draft fanatic and some ppl thought I was crazy for wanting a D-lineman (wanted Brian Price until his sstock dropped some)…its all real… we put up 0 sacks in 5 of the last 8 games… and one of them was against the Raiders who were 7th in sacks allowed and 9th or so in Qb hits allowed
hers another one for you...
we were the 2nd to last 4-3 teams in D-line sacks by only .5 sacks to the RAMS

I disagree
The Bengals were not ready to defense the screen which is NE’s bread and butter. They havn’t done anything special to get pressure on Brady because they can’t defense the screen.
Offensively, the line is weak. The Bengals needed to game plan for this like last year. Maybe it wasn’t pretty but pounding the ball kept the defense off the field and wore down the opposing defense for late game heroics.

Not ready to play a real game. Flat as hell. No fire. I hope Zimmer is ripping them all a new asshole in the locker room.

again, I ask
what does that do? All he can do is yell and scream. That’s not going to create a productive effort.
i do blame the coaches
but belichick makes the contrast even more extreme

I wish Carson was more like Peyton Manning.

Second half thread, I guess.

Not much to say at this point.
Cardiac Cats once again?
Is it possible to get one back in the 3rd and two in the 4th with a late game tying score
maybe carson should get into a car accident a few days before a game then maybe he will play better

if the defense has pride
they will not let brady tweet from the pocket anymore today

pass rush
Does the D-line know that Brady isn’t wearing a red jersey?

Tom Brady is getting so much protection today
If another car came at him at 40 mph, he’d still remain uninjured.
i saw it once against the jets his rubber flesh was pealed back by a face mask and you could see the robot.
the knee injury was a hoax to throw people off the scent

Simms
essentially just called the Bengals “idiots” and I’m inclined to agree.
it helps to have time
in the pocket if you are a qb. must be remembered when evaluating one qb against another.also football is the ultimate team sport and tom brady would have had a very different career if he had ended up in cincy.

The Oakland Raiders
aren’t this bad. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
The Pats look like a fortune 500 company, and the Bngls look like a mom&pop shop!

Carson Palmer
Carson is decent @ best. Should have been another pick. We could of used andre smith’s pick to get a new qb.
