Re: Bengals vs. Alka Seltzer Birds

Trouble is with going 1-3 is that it starts to build negative inertia. Then going 8-8 becomes a massive hill to climb instead of something to be counted on. If the Bengals go 1-3 to start the season, I think you've got to believe Murphy's Law kicks in to send them to a losing record.

Re: Bengals vs. Alka Seltzer Birds

Has it been noted that we have absolutely no pass rush. It's so bad, you really can't even blame the secondary.

They're awful. Its scary how my favorite college team resembles my favorite NFL team (Bengals). All offense and pathetic defense. After a year of watching this I won't be able to remember what defense looks like.

Re: Bengals vs. Alka Seltzer Birds

1 - How can the kick coverage be THIS bad. Covering kicks is all about coaching.

2 - Carson Palmer is SO freaking good it's ridiculous.

Bipolar.

TJ fumbles and Leon takes it right back with an INT.

Re: Bengals vs. Alka Seltzer Birds

Remember when Rudi used to run people over?

I wish he'd start doing that again instead of trying to be Barry Sanders.

RBs become "past it" so abruptly in the NFL... not saying that Rudi is at that point, but he SHOULD NOT be trying to run to the outside on a misdirection play, especially against a fast, ball-hawking defense like Seattle.

Imagine if we still had Ohalete instead of Madieu.

Its hard to run when you are getting tackled behind the line.

Re: Bengals vs. Alka Seltzer Birds

Another slow-developing sweep to the outside for Rudi that is absolutely demolished for a loss.

Rudi is doing his best to maintain his 0.0 ypc average.

Re: Bengals vs. Alka Seltzer Birds

Wow, is it possible that Justin Smith is our worse starter on the D-Line. Seriously, Michael Moore has outperformed all season long.
