Can't turn the ball over as much as they did and you can't keep letting WRs get behind the defense like they keep on doing.

483 yards against arguably the best defense in the league with a Rookie QB. Nothing to be upset about there.

If they do, I'm sure it will just come back to bite them in the butt on defense.
It's just never meant to be with the Bengals.
Re: 2011 Bengals Discussion Part II
Even though they lost my confidence in Dalton grows more and more every week. Kid made a few mistakes but he had a chance at the end to win. This team is young and a lot of fun to watch even when they lose. I would say the future is very bright.

And yet still an L in the standings. Moral victories don't get you anywhere in the NFL.
Re: 2011 Bengals Discussion Part II
We're close guys. I know we've lost 2 in a row, but I'm still really excited about how good this team can be.

Yes an L in the standings but valuable experience for a young team still learning how to win close games.

Yes, but experience only goes so far when it's just not meant to be. They never seem to get a call.

Yes, my pessimism will alter the Bengal's season.
Rah rah! Go bENgalz!
I'm being harsh. I'm really glad you're happy. Who am I to try to be a buzzkill with the moral victory celebration.
Re: 2011 Bengals Discussion Part II
Alright guys, cool down. We're all on the same side here.
Re: 2011 Bengals Discussion Part II
Possession and two feet in. Gresham's TD should have counted and would have at the very least put us into OT. That Calvin Johnson rule (even if it applies here) is simply horrendous.

I got some friends in Buffalo that would disagree with that statement. It sucks and I was pretty mad at those two blown calls but man I am looking forward to the next time these kids play.
Re: 2011 Bengals Discussion Part II
Next week with Cleveland at home is a must win for this team especially with Blitzburg looming the following week.
