Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

Nice to see such a motivated prepared team to start the year - but a damn shame Marvin gave his team the week off

Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

This team simply didn't get better in the off-season. Combine that with some bad luck (injuries) and a tough schedule and it's back to your regularly scheduled Bungals.

5-11

Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

Baltimore was a dropped pass away from the Super Bowl last year. They look really really good.

Defensively the secondary looks suspect, that shouldn't surprise anyone. Offensively we're doing some good things though. Hawkins and Green Ellis have been good. Go get em in the 2nd half!

Balt looks pretty "super" to me so far but I think the Bengals have acquitted themselves well so far. I'm particularly impressed with the new O-line

Oh, wait...
The issue hasn't really been with the secondary. Flacco is making some nice throws against decent coverage. The bigger issue is that he's had almost all day to throw.

I was skeptical about the line and running game in general coming into the season, but I agree tonight it looks pretty good.

I was really worried about Boling and Faine going into this game, I agree they've been much better than expected.

Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

Decent drive to start 2nd half. Need to get a quick 3 and out. Would have been interesting to see a make it or break it 4th and 1 from the 1, but can't argue with going conservative.

D-line is getting manhandled.

Can't cover their WRs and TEs.

Re: 2012-2013 Bengals Discussion

Making Joe Flacco look like Joe Montana. That takes a pretty special lack of talent and/or effort to do.

Oh well.

He's throwing off of his back foot and/or with pressure in his face and he's putting just about everything on the money. He's playing great.

Baby Hawk is balling out of control. Too bad he was down.
