"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"

I still say that special teams is gonna play big in this game.

Marvin Lewis at his finest.
Stupid challenge IMO. Gonna lose a TO.

It was clearly a fumble, and Marvin challenges if it was out of bounds or not.
Just dumb.
Marvin has to be the worst coach I've seen at using his challenges.
But even worse, in all my years watching football, I've never seen another defense that allows as many runs where the RB is never even touched through the line and then there's no DB anywhere around as this year's Bengals. It seems that once they break through the line, they're off to the races.
The Pats are going to put up 40 points here and I don't think the Bengals will put up more than 13.

Man they really need to take Marvin Lewis's red flag away. If you can't use it properly, don't use it at all.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
3....3 and outs in a row......so much for a shoot out in the jungle.
It's more like a homicide in the jungle.

And a good defense should not need the DBs on a run. They should be there as safety valves. Linebackers should at least be there to plug it up or make the first hit. That first hit or attempted plugging of the gap is not there. Pollack/Thurman are really missed. Picking up other teams nottas (Edwards, Jones) aren't the solution, but whatcha gonna do?
This game is one more good lesson for the Bengals organization and the fans to realize just how far they have to go before they're a truly elite team.
They're not even close.
