Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

Have we ever been able to defend a pass play to a TE or RB?

What NFL can or really does on a consistent basis nowadays? They give the O every rule to help them. You need All Pro's at two spots at LB just to be able to help you overcome rules that easily allow TE's to run amok.

A lot of teams are having success with TE usage for obvious reasons. These guys are as big as OL with speed and the rules allow them to do what they want.

I realize a lot of rules are in place for the offense, but that doesn't mean you have to leave guys wide open like we do. Our LB play is laughable.

It ain't getting any prettier either, when we go up against competent offenses I'd expect more of what we saw in week 1. Defensively they're a wreck.

Wow. This is why they still are the Bungles. One good year, then back to business as usual, it seems, just like the last few years.

Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

3 turnovers for Dalton...another pick 6 today. No rhythm on offense, iffy running game at best, bad penalties, lots of 3 and outs....ugly ugly ugly.

One of the worst weeks ever for Cincinnati sports. Looking at the rest of the schedule I see very few games this team can win

Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

Hopefully talk of a 'good' season can be put to bed now. This wasn't a well constructed team and it's showing.

Cleveland? Really?

Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

I do not see one game....even at KC or home vs OAK as a win down the stretch.
Just like 2010.....awesome to be a fan of this team. Never any hope at all from year to year, except for some blind nut ...squirrel thing.

I think you can actually count on them being decent every other year. Record wise anyway. Play awful when you get the tough schedule, then play well when they get the easy schedule from being so bad the year before.

Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

Btw, are we all as sure as we were last year that Andy Dalton is the answer?
