Second-Half Open Thread: Bengals Lead Texans 16-3
by Jason Garrison on Dec 11, 2011 3:11 PM EST
Email
PrintThe Texans have lost to every team that has scored more than 14 points against them this year. The Bengals scored 16 in the first half thanks to Cedric Benson's 92 yards, Reggie Nelson's interception, Rey Maualuga's forced fumble and recovery, Andy Dalton's touchdown pass to Jerome Simpson and three field goals from Mike Nugent.
If the Bengals continue to play like they did in the first half throughout the rest of the game, there's no reason to think that they won't keep their playoff hopes alive with a win in Week 14.

I would just like to say
I called this and some where telling me I was nuts for thinking it
How funny is that where the Bengals sat them for the game?

Poor Mr. Yates.
I know TJ is a third stringer but he should have enough coin to get pops and family better seats.
The NFL minimum is ~$400,000, IIRC.
He could comfortably buy any seat in the house, especially with next to zero demand for the tickets.
I'm hungry for 48-3 whipping

A double-digit win would be fantastic.
I’m always happy with a win in any form, but it’s great to destroy a team. I’d like to see us turn one into a joke by the fourth quarter.
Welcome back Jerome Simpson!

Tampa and Jax were tied at 14
I blinked and Jax is leading by 14 points. :S
Time for a long, extended TD drive.
Chew seven minutes off the clock and score. That would really take the life out of them.
Rackers did us a favor
now we get it on the 20
"At the very end, somebody took a dump right where I stood in the dugout every day." Dusty Baker
So far, so good.
No horrendous second quarter?
I was wondering how Dalton couldn't make some big drives
He just takes care of the ball and make some safe throws. Then, comes this 97-yard drive. I’m awful, I kno.
wtf was that for?
Get lit up from behind as you are preparing to throw, it’s likely you’ll lose the ball. Let’s put the blame on the missed block.
... I still say it was a touchdown, got tammit.
Simpson
Just saw the highlights of his TD catch. How does he make that reception and drop other easy ones?!
Yeah, it was bad.
Ced got blown up in the backfield before there was even time for the D to realize it was play action, and by the time Dalton looked downfield the pocket had collapsed to the point where he had zero time.
Not a good way to start.

Now it's time to kill the game
22-play, 80-yard drive, 11:00.
Since Benson is a machine today...
they can risk Scott on returns now.
look at that
the returner ran out of the end zone, away from the tacklers, and got some yards. Tate should try that sometime.

he missed, the ball went right through his hands, but he did try. That’s much more than we’ve seen out of him the last 4 or 5 games.

stupid announcers
wasn’t a bad throw. hit simpson. where else should the ball have been?
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
Dalton should just throw to AJ every single play
and my fantasy team agrees.
he did a good job of being in position, pulling up and jumping for the ball
he just didn’t close his hands together on the ball. It went right between them.
time to exchange punts
I wouldn’t mind to exchange punts until the end.

I'd like to give a quick shoutout to Throw the Ball.
The stream you linked is, like, two minutes ahead of the one I was using before and clearer too.
who was that and why didn't they catch it?
how many times am I going to vent about this this season? You stand on the 10. If it goes over your head, let it. You don’t field it inside the 10, and you don’t let it go over your head from the 18.
no leonard

the talk to Pressley, as if it’s going to be the quick handoff, and then Dalton hits Green for a nice gain.

I'm pretty sure he's going to be a Lion anyways.
Also, remember people thought Carlos was a horrible pick because of his temper issues.
He has no discipline.
He got benched in his last game for having multiple personal fouls on the same drive, and apparently he’s been bad at practice recently and he’s practicing with the second team now. We don’t need him.

looked like a catch to me
"At the very end, somebody took a dump right where I stood in the dugout every day." Dusty Baker
red flag
maybe they’ll say that Atkins was down by contact. (looked like 23 never had possession, from that short replay)
... I still say it was a touchdown, got tammit.
it's gonna be overturned anyway
so I’m glad the Texans ended up with it. If it was going to be Bengals ball on the 2 and then turned over, that would hurt
why in the hell would houston's coach challenge that
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
would you rather have a new series of downs?
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
I think it was a complete pass
"At the very end, somebody took a dump right where I stood in the dugout every day." Dusty Baker
probably stands only cause it was behind the line of scrimmage.
i feel like if that happened at, say, 20 yards downfield they’d say it was incomplete
I thought so at first...
but it was out when he was still running
Eh, no one ever has an idea what a cach is anymore.
Change gone come mane! Trust me! Cause i Bleed tigerblood!--Jerome Simpson
holy crap did the refs screw up
that wasnt a catch
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
I agree
but it hurts the Texans more than the Bengals. 1st and 10 from your own 2 is not a better situation than 2nd and 10 from your own 25, which is what it would have been if they’d made the right call and turned it over.
jeez that was too easy
"At the very end, somebody took a dump right where I stood in the dugout every day." Dusty Baker
if nothing extraordinary happens
forcing them out this drive will win the game for us
we're even on the face mask
"At the very end, somebody took a dump right where I stood in the dugout every day." Dusty Baker
Yep
Let’s rip one of his arms. He will do half damage, I suppose
The announcer just said we don't have a dominant pass rusher.
I know Dunlap is out, but if you announce in the NFL, you should know he’s one of the best. Hasn’t got the sacks this year, but dominates in QB pressures.

I made a clear separation between what I was talking about and what you were talking about and agreed with your statement – taking your statement out of context implies that I ignored your context, and I didn’t.

I wasn't commenting on his particular post.
why are you fixating on the merits of a particular post?
I was making a comment about ignoring a guy who never says anything positive, ergo is here in a troll fashion. You don’t have to be incorrect to be a troll.
... I still say it was a touchdown, got tammit.
Dude, I'm not fixating on anything.
Just like I’m not taking you out of context or even arguing with you. All I said was he’s right and this isn’t a playoff team. God damn man, this is exhausting and nobody’s even saying anything, let’s just call it a day.

That's what you get for playing like a pussy when you have the ball
Can’t do that Gruden when you don’t have a 7+ point lead

i really, really doubt gruden had any say in the aggressiveness of the playcalling in the second half
you can tell when gruden has the reigns and when marvin takes them away once the bengals are trying to “hold” onto a win. the offense transforms into what it looked like with brat here.
His 16yd scramble
allowed that drive to continue. I don’t blame the Defense as much as the offensive play calling on the bengals last drive. It was a great game. The Bengals still have a chance at a wild card-they will just need to win out and have the Jets collapse.

You really think they'll win out?
Not with this team. Remember – they just lost 4 out of 5. No way they come back from that.
Honestly
I understand the people saying stuff like “We weren’t even supposed to win 3 games so stfu”, but seriously to get SO CLOSE and lose it, by shooting ourselves in the foot AGAIN, is a tough pill to swallow. Yes, they’re a tough team, but that’s not an excuse. It’s the NFL, if you can’t beat a good team you have no place playing professional football. I’ll give it to Yates, helluva comeback for that man, but come on.
this has to be the worst loss of the year so far.

Not quite.
10-6 is still possible, especially if the Ravens are resting key players in Week 17. The Bengals don’t have control of their own destiny anymore, but there’s still an outside shot at the playoffs.
assuming Gruden was the one calling the plays
also, Benson blows.. Reggie Nelson not falling on the football and giving the ball back really killed us…
by pedro_oliveira on Dec 11, 2011 4:17 PM EST up reply actions
we only gave up 20 points to a team while the offense couldn't sustain any drives for an entire half
the defense played pretty well minus covering tightends when it mattered. i’d say the loss is on lewis because he never has the mentality of putting teams away. he goes so conservative with a lead, and it always comes back to haunt him.
no shit
cant defend against Yates… would get raped by Big Ben (just like last week)

marvins post game press conference
It was a tough loss for our team. I have to give credit to the Texans organization. We werent prepared at the last 2 minutes of the game. We did some good things and some bad things. We need to make more plays both offense and defense. Our players will go back to the drawing board and be ready next week. I felt we got some pressure on the QB but we need to tackle better. We need to be able to score touchdowns than field goals. And that was the deciding factor in todays game.
Reporter: Marvin, what are your thoughts about brandon tate?
ML: Brandon tate did some things good but allowed us to be backed up on our 2 yard line.
Reporter: Marvin, Any chance you put another person on punt and kick returns.
ML: No our team didnt play a team effort and Tate is only one person. I feel tate is very good at the job he does.

For what its worth.....I hate it when fans from other teams come in here to our open threads
I know some of you think they are just making conversation but they are not. They know exactly what they are doing and there is no reason for them to do it.
it is what it is
its a free country but i hear u. So we just have to deal with it

stop being a pussy about it.
We have worse trolls that come here claiming to be Bengals fans.
That texan guy you were ragging on said nothing provocative. He probably made 10 posts, none worth arguing over.
... I still say it was a touchdown, got tammit.
+1
i agree with you on that
A change needs to happen to this organization. Mike Brown please step down.
You know what the worst part of us losing is?
That we turn on each other. Instead of focusing on what the Bengals need to do to improve, we instead turn on each other and start arguing. I don’t know if I am the only one that feels that way but I think we need to improve on that.
I have always agreed with that.....
part of the reason for my earlier post (which by the way didn’t think warranted me being called a pussy…thanks though that really helps me not be defensive). People come in here and whether they try to or not…….piss people off and cause unnecessary tension and anger.
the only way i see that being solved
is by winning. But thats just a guess.
A change needs to happen to this organization. Mike Brown please step down.
well time to start my mock draft early again for another year
overall, this team did better than expected this year even though there are 3 games left in the season. I say we still should rise to the occasion and prove the world that we can still make the playoffs. But our schedule will get tougher next year. A lot of talent needs to be addressed on this team. And us fans already know which areas. But i hope the coaching staff knows these areas as well. Hopefully and indoor practice facility, scouts and an improved medical staff would help us take us where we need to be. I just hope the coaching staff gets improved as well. And im referring to the likes of Paul Alexander, Darrin Simmons and our RB coach.

hate to say it
but our last few losses makes our 6-2 record a fluke in the nfl and thats probably why analyst never really pay attention to this team. Hard not to blame them but its like they know reality and know whats really going on in this organization.
A change needs to happen to this organization. Mike Brown please step down.
that fumble on the fumble recovery came back to bite us in the arse
among other things…but if we jus thelp onto the ball there we woulda been 2 scores up and in supreme control of the game. again, one of many mistakes that pretty much eliminated us from playoff contention. SMH
