Bengals Starting Right Guard Bobbie Williams Feared Lost For The Season

With 6:21 remaining in the second quarter, Cedric Benson chipped away another seven yards to the left side during Cincinnati's lone touchdown drive of the game. And during the course of that play, right guard Bobbie Williams was rolled up from behind, laying on the turf after the play in obvious pain. Though he walked off the field under his own power, the limp was very noticeable.
Williams would never return.
According to Bengals.com beat writer Geoff Hobson, the general fear at Paul Brown Stadium is that Bobbie Williams, now on crutches and walking boot, is done for the season with an injured ankle. There's only three regular season games remaining following Cincinnati's 20-19 loss to the Houston Texans.
Mike McGlynn, who committed a false start on a fourth down late in the game, replaced Williams in the second quarter. Though Marvin Lewis admits that they were only trying to draw the Texans offsides, if McGlynn doesn't move and Houston commits a neutral zone infraction, the Bengals have more clock to consume, making it tougher for Houston to put together a game-winning touchdown drive.
Williams signed a two-year deal in 2010, making him a free agent after this season.

probably the last time you see him in a Bengals uniform then
since he’s a free agent.

Do you blame him?
Every one wants out…Justin Smith, Dillon, J-Joe, Palmer, Chad, Pickens….it sucks to be a Bengal….only a good place for 2nd chances like Benson and Pacman….
Who cares? Bungles are back.
I can’t stand Palmer, and loathe the Jets…I think we will lose out…it is December and choke time…i am rooting for Tebow here on out. At least their games aren’t predictable. all of us life long Bengals fans knew we were screwed when they started that drive….we have seen this happen to many times….I enjoyed the season…..it was much better than we ever thought possible….but Mike Brown sealed it away when he let Joseph go…Andy Dalton and AJ Green will want out of there soon enough….it’s what happens when you’re a Bengal….playing for a shitty organization that doesn’t care about winning……it would have been embarrasing to get blwon out in the play-offs anyway…Hootie, write us Bengals fans a song…
Horrible Attitude!

Seriously terrible attitude...
How is this Mike Brown that the players can’t cover a guy doing a crossing route? or that our players can’t fall on a fumble on the two yard line and try to pick it up to run with it instead? Or any number of things that the players didn’t execute or bad play calls by the coaches?
I wish we still had Joseph too, but we offered him the same kinda money… and it would have been insane to offer him more when he was only able to play less than half of his games here since he was injury ridden. We had Leon Hall and he went down for the season with an achilles tear if you remember… not like we didn’t have some decent corners, there have just been injuries.
Chill out dude.
Well Mike Brown is an older guy, I imagine his degrading 40 time and knees are to blame for not being able to cover guys on a crossing route.

I am so friggin' angry....
At least when Kitna was starting we could expect a loss….we started believing in this team….stupid asses that we are….
and the way marvin was talking about it is the most big game of his coaching
and they go out and lay an egg like that. ( it just speaks valumes about lewis in a big way, and its not good ).

13 straight losses to playoff teams
14-42-1 against playoff teams in his Bengals tenure.

we have 1 thing to play for
last game of the season vs ravens, we win and can probably knock the ravens down 1-2 seeds in the playoffs, possibly taking away homefield advantage from them.
ie: spoilers.
we’re a young team, going 8-8 or 9-7 is solid. hurting the ravens in the playoffs is a plus.
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
we can still make a run for the playoffs as crazy as that sounds.
by bengalinflorida on Dec 11, 2011 8:59 PM EST up reply actions
we need to win all 3
and hope for help. playoff algebra is never a good sign.
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
nothing just that...
We could possibly win out and go to the playoffs. Far fetched, but possible, not only that tho, if we can even go 10-6, hell even 9-7 I would be totally stocked!

Guard was a pressing need before this...........
now, it’s a no brainer. CB/OL in 1st round, at least the 1st should be fairly predictable for a change.

What a shame
Bobbie is such a great leader and was obviously upset to be leaving the game, but we definitely need an overhaul at the guard position, livings is a joke and mcglynn was just as poor, pony up some money MB in free agency for once in your life and draft a guard
