Preseason Game 3: Rams vs Bengals

[BB99]

Please keep all of us watching the arrows move left and right, with detail updates from those of you watching the game on tv. Thanks

[WHODEY-n-VA]

Cosby!!! Touchdown!!! NICE!

[CKWI88]

you can find radio here to go with the arrows http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/reps/rpmap/rp_new-eng.jpg

Touchdown Rams

7-7

[BB99]

Man, you get called out of the office for a minute and Crosby returns a punt for a TD, I need to leave the office more often. :lol:

[TheBengals]

Our d looked really bad on that last drive.

[CKWI88]

http://www.atdhe.net/8626/watch-st-louis-rams-vs-cincinnati-bengals

crap quality, but....

[Macnbaish]

Yeah they went right down the field. We were able to get good pressure on the QB but they were able to get first down after first down anyway.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Samkon Gado had a nice drive there. Bengals were overpursuing every time he got on the field. 7-7.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Roy Williams looks really slow out there.

He looked lost on that pass to Curry.

[battey60]

Our d looked really bad on that last drive.
Yea they really got bent over

[WhoDeyMatt]

Caldwell return to the 29. Commercial break. Bengals moving right to left, Caldwell forced out of bounds on the far sideline.

[lombarvm]

Roy Williams looks really slow out there.

[BB99]

crap quality, but....

Thanks for the link, but our internet is really bad. Afn is only showing the Bucs - Dolphins game, so I will have to just watch the football move left and right all night. :lol:

Wow, defense kind of got walked on there, but hopefully they will pull out a stop next time, it happens.

[TheBengals]

sack

[WhoDeyMatt]

O'Sully sacked on the first play of the drive. Pressure came from the left side of the line. Looked like a safety, but the sound keeps going in and out on the broadcast.

Second play: botched exchange, fumbled, Laurinaitis recovers. First and ten St. Louis from the Bengals 20.

[TheBengals]

OMG fumble.

[battey60]

O'sully eaten

[Macnbaish]

Botched snap.. fumbled Rams have it.

[battey60]

again

[BB99]

Deja-vu from last season on offense already.

[WhoDeyMatt]

First play of St. Louis drive: Gado rushes right, maybe a yard.

Second play: Boller scrambles for about 10, gets damn near decapitated by Keith Rivers as he slides, very reminiscent of Trent Green and Robert Geathers.

[jace4655]

wow massive hit by rivers

[WhoDeyMatt]

Boller pass to robinson complete to the 5. First and goal.

Next play: Gado rushes to the 2.

2nd and goal: From shotgun, Boller shovel pass to Gado, TD.

UGH.

[just another bengals fan]

i HATE these little errors, they always cost the team who does them, loose. period.

[TheBengals]

Did the Rams just get really good this offseason?

[Macnbaish]

Defense getting destroyed.

[pamar427]

Offense and defense look horrible tonight.

[WhoDeyMatt]

And we're having timestamp issues again.

Jesus, upgrade to the next version of VBulletin already, Bengals.

[BB99]

Let's just hope these guys are just a little nervous playing for the home crowd. That was about as bad 5 minute span as you can have there. :eek:

[lombarvm]

Wow...we look awful.

[battey60]

14-7 rams

[jace4655]

missed the first part of game does anyone know how they scored? I heard something about a kick return and wanted to know who and how long was it?

[Bengals Mike]

this turned ugly quick. D opened strong and went to sleep after that punt return.

Our O certainly didnt help them though.

id say it looks like this is what happens when O'Sullivan faces a first team defense, he didnt see one in New Orleans, he didnt do much last week with the Patriots and now this

[CKWI88]

this turned ugly quick. D opened strong and went to sleep after that punt return.

Our O certainly didnt help them though.

[battey60]

Win or lose our starters did not come to play today.

[BB99]

More detail for the sack, someone said left side. Was it a botched assignment, extra man, someone's fault, etc?

[Jonboy13]

missed the first part of game does anyone know how they scored? I heard something about a kick return and wanted to know who and how long was it?

Cosby ran it back, the only high point thus far...

[battey60]

We need a good drive here.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Cedric Benson totally smothered in the backfield by James Hall, who beat Coates.

But next play Benson runs for about 9.

[Macnbaish]

Cedric tackled for loss. Yay

[battey60]

wow still bad.

[WhoDeyMatt]

BEAUTIFUL catch by Caldwell for about 20.

Next play: jailbreak, O'Sully sacked for -3 yards.

[Eleden]

Andre Caldwell FTW!

[WhoDeyMatt]

Big run by Benson negated by a holding call on Cook. Bad play, considering. The hole was still big without the hold.

[battey60]

another sack

[WhoDeyMatt]

2nd and 25 from CIN 29: Pass batted down by Chris Long.

3rd and 25: Caldwell gains 14 yards on a swing pass, setting up a punt.

[battey60]

Big run benson

[Eleden]

3rd and 24? Brat's gonna go for a run.

[jace4655]

Is it just me or is our O-line blowing tonight? And every time i see a TFL i get madder and madder that AS isnt signed

[WhoDeyMatt]

Huber punt goes inside the ten, returned to about the 15. Corey Lynch misses a tackle in pursuit before Rashad Jeanty finishes the play.

[TheBengals]

I'm beginning to see some true colors from our OL.

[Macnbaish]

Actually at this point I'm glad Palmer isn't in. Would be dangerous to his health.

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st and 10: Joseph breaks up a pass from Boller to some guy I missed the name of.

2nd and 10: Antonio Pittman run gets 2 yards, Roy Williams totally creams him.

[battey60]

Caldwell will die if he keeps running liek that.

[jace4655]

I am just watching a little here and there, but it seems our special teams are really playing good (not just saying that because of the punt return). But like i said it could be because i am only watching a little at a time.

[just another bengals fan]

Man, you gotta love huber, his punts tell the other team to kiss da baby each time.

[WhoDeyMatt]

3rd and 7: Boller pass complete to Tim Carter, but short of 1st down marker. Rams will punt.

[Jonboy13]

Caldwell will die if he keeps running liek that.

yeah I thought the good ones quit dancing when they get to the NFL!!

[Macnbaish]

Bengals D holds on third down!

[BB99]

Good job by Defense, we really needed a 3 and out!!!!, Lets hope for a better effort in the 2nd Quarter

[just another bengals fan]

THATS THE D, im talking about.

[MoneyCityManiac]

D looked better on that series, for sure.

[jace4655]

Huber punt goes inside the ten, returned to about the 15. Corey Lynch misses a tackle in pursuit before Rashad Jeanty finishes the play.
After the last installment of hard knocks i doubt Lynch will make the team, it seemed every time they talked about him was something negative.

[bengalsfanatic85]

our pass protection is garbage...


wait for it...


is that a "it's just the preseason!" excuse i hear???

[WhoDeyMatt]

2nd Bengals drive starts at CIN 25

1st down and 10: Shotgun snap, pass to Coats for about 7.
2nd down and 3: Benson runs left for about 5. First down.

[bengalsfanatic85]

nice coats

[scottws]

See? Brat doesn't always run on first down.

[jace4655]

God....our first quarter stats blew a big one...both on D and O

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st and 10 from the 35: Benson tackled in backfield, looks like Williams missed a block.

2nd and 12: Offset I, big run by Benson to the 45, close to a first down.

3rd and 1: Jeremi Johnson up the middle for the first down.

[bengalsfanatic85]

id say it looks like this is what happens when O'Sullivan faces a first team defense, he didnt see one in New Orleans, he didnt do much last week with the Patriots and now this

i dont really think it o'sullivans fault. its our pass protection

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st and 10 from Cin 48: Coles 10 yard completion. First down.

1st and 10, Rams 41: O'Sullivan fakes a handoff, completes a short pass to Ocho. 9 yard gain.
2nd and 1: Bernard Scott fumble returned for a Rams TD.

CRAP.

[Clark W Griswold]

Nice cutback and run by Ced.

Jeremi Johnson getting a carry for 1st down

[bengalsfanatic85]

Nice catch LC

[jace4655]

Now it seems like the O is finally starting to get itself into gear

[WhoDeyMatt]

We still aren't doing a good job protecting the football. You'd think they would work on that. Rams kickoff coming up.

[Jonboy13]

Nice cutback and run by Ced.

Jeremi Johnson getting a carry for 1st down

coles just got his 1st catch as a bengal!!! WHO DEY!!

[bengalsfanatic85]

I quit:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

[Macnbaish]

Ugly. Fumble returned for TD

[jace4655]

Spoken too soon:mad:

[Clark W Griswold]

Man my picture on the net is terrible!

Nice move by Chad ( he is going to have a big year)

Are the Rams starters still in?

Scott fumble returned for a long Rams TD.

HOLD ON TO THE BALL RBS!!!

[bengalsfanatic85]

coles just got his 1st catch as a bengal!!! WHO DEY!!

uh not his first catch

[BritishBengal]

Oh well thats just dynamite!:angry:

[cliftonskyline]

im guessing the rb coaches wait until the last week of training camp to teach ball protection

[Jonboy13]

I quit:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

and did it look like coles got up slow? love it!

[craig309p]

coles just got his 1st catch as a bengal!!! WHO DEY!!

he had a catch he got hurt on against the saints

[BritishBengal]

We are getting nailed

[lombarvm]

I think we should all set our expectations a lot lower for this team.

[just another bengals fan]

eh, the picture quality is as good as our play today....

for real...

[WhoDeyMatt]

My audio is out, so I apologize if I get names wrong.

Scott return goes to about the 28. Commercial.

ACK MY SIGNAL IS TOTALLY LOST.

[Peace2]

We look slop slop sloppy. Other than Cosby, our rookies are really looking like rookies. Rey on the overaggressive run fill and scott putting the ball down twice now.

The rams are putting 8 in the box. Deep seven route to Henry!

[jj22]

We can't hold on to the ball... Is this an obvious peep into the future?

[BB99]

our pass protection is garbage...


wait for it...


is that a "it's just the preseason!" excuse i hear???

No excuses from me, more of a THANK GOD its just the preseason so far for this game. Wow, lots of alchol will be consumed tonight by Bengals fans I predict

[WhoDeyMatt]

my bad first catch for a pre season stat

Maybe his first catch this game. Did you watch the first two at all?

[Jonboy13]

uh not his first catch

my bad first catch for a pre season stat

[bengalsfanatic85]

reality check...

and no, this isn't because palmer isn't in

[jace4655]

well i figured if the team isnt going to play then i am going find a better use of my time instead of watching this crap! Going to go and spend time with the family....hope you all have a good time watching crapp.

[Clark W Griswold]

eh, the picture quality is as good as our play today....

for real...

Yeah, I should probably be glad that I can't see this more clearly.

I can see enough to know that the Bengals are playing very sloppy tonight. This is a terrible team they are playing yet they are down 2 scores, mostly due to turnovers. Marvin is going to have plenty of rear-ends to chew out after tonight's game.

It is the biggest cliche in football but it's true - turnovers will kill you.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Check that. 31.

1st and 10: Play action pass to Coats for about 12.

1st and 10 from the 43: Leonard run to the right no gain. Nice play by Witherspoon.

2nd and 10: Incomplete pass, dropped by Caldwell. Would have gone for about 25.

[Clark W Griswold]

reality check...

and no, this isn't because palmer isn't in

You are right - the Rams are playing Boller at QB!

[bengalsfanatic85]

Yeah, I should probably be glad that I can't see this more clearly.

I can see enough to know that the Bengals are playing very sloppy tonight. This is a terrible team they are playing yet they are down 2 scores, mostly due to turnovers. Marvin is going to have plenty of rear-ends to chew out after tonight's game.

It is the biggest cliche in football but it's true - turnovers will kill you.

but apparently not important enough for our coaches to be teaching anyone...

[Clark W Griswold]

Starting o line is out now? Kooistra just got owned!

Caldwell has to make that catch...Bengals don't look like a hungry team tonight.
They do look like a 4-11-1 team, though.

[Macnbaish]

As bad as the first o line was playing they needed to stay in longer.

[Jonboy13]

he had a catch he got hurt on against the saints

guess i stand corrected

[just another bengals fan]

damn man, the rams ****. period. and we are loosing to these jokers?

child please, i dont care if its preseason or not, the Bengals need to step up and deliver, get rid of the stupid penalties and play plain hard football.

FFS

[WhoDeyMatt]

3rd and 10: O'Sully scrambles for a nice gain. First down in Rams territory.

1st down from Rams 44: Leonard for 2.

2nd down, Rams 42: O'Sullivan pass intended for Leonard tipped at the line. Incomplete.

3rd down: tipped AGAIN. But there's a flag on the play; defensive holding, 5 yards, first down from the Rams 37.

[Macnbaish]

I can't figure out how we played so well last week against New England and look like High Schoolers out there tonight.

[Clark W Griswold]

Is it just me or does Leonard run the ball like a FB? No burst into the hole at all.

(but at least he doesn't fumble :cool:)

And as soon as I say that Leonard busts a big run...

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st and 10: Big gain on a Leonard shovel pass to the 12.

1st and 10: Fade route to Ocho, but he's interfered with in the end zone. Ball to the 1.

[Macnbaish]

Nice shovel to Leonard in the Red Zone!

[BB99]

I can't figure out how we played so well last week against New England and look like High Schoolers out there tonight.

We seem to be playing down to the competition, not a good sign. All we can hope for is for these guys to pull their heads from their (four points of contact) and rally to pull this one out.

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st and goal: Leonard pounds it in. TD Bengals. Who Dey! :tiger::tiger::tiger:

[Macnbaish]

PI on Defender in end zone on chad. 1st and goal on 1

[Jonboy13]

Is it just me or does Leonard run the ball like a FB? No burst into the hole at all.

(but at least he doesn't fumble :cool:)

he turned it up there:tiger:

[WhoDeyMatt]

Swank PAT is good. Jungle Boogie. 21-14 Rams. Kickoff coming up after the commercial. :D

[BB99]

[QUOTE=WhoDeyMatt;1198168]1st and goal: Leonard pounds it in. TD Bengals. Who Dey! :tiger::tiger::tiger:[/QUOTE/]

Sweeeet!!! you know Leonard is loving that!!!!:tiger:


Lets GO Defense....

[Clark W Griswold]

he turned it up there:tiger:


He must have read what I typed - see I am motivating him! :thumbsup:

[Jonboy13]

He must have read what I typed - see I am motivating him! :thumbsup:

I like it!!!:rock on:

[bengalsfanatic85]

THERE WE GO!:thumbsup:

[Clark W Griswold]

I can barely tell the teams apart much less the players so I have to ask - did the Rams have their defensive starters in for that last series?

[WhoDeyMatt]

Rams return to the Bengals 31, brought down by Hebert. 1st and 10 St Louis.

1st down: Pittman runs to the right for 3.
2nd down: Screen pass to Pittman goes for another 2. Nice pressure up front.
3rd down and 5: McMichael catches a pass at midfield. First down.

[just another bengals fan]

I can barely tell the teams apart much less the players so I have to ask - did the Rams have their defensive starters in for that last series?

lol , slightly over the top :denny:

[Macnbaish]

D gives up another first down on 3rd and 5

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st down from the 49: Pittman run goes for 1.
2nd down and 9: Robinson completes a pass, tackled by Hall at the 40.
3rd and 1: Pittman tackled in backfield by Pat Sims for a loss. Rams to punt. Nice play!

:tiger:

[nepa]

Is it just me or is our O-line blowing tonight? And every time i see a TFL i get madder and madder that AS isnt signed

Actually, to me the offensive line has not looked that bad tonight. They have protected the QB well and have created some big holes, particularly on the right side. The problems have been the center position (botched snap and holding call on a big gainer) and the turnovers. It may not be a world class offensive line, but they are holding their own at least. It is not like the disaster it was much of last year.

[Macnbaish]

Sims tackle for loss on 3rd and 1! Punt Rams!

[bengalsfanatic85]

Sims!

[Clark W Griswold]

lol , slightly over the top :denny:

Fixed the problem - just needed to adjust the rabbit ears on my computer monitor!

[WhoDeyMatt]

Rams punt to Cosby, fair catch at the 11. 2:04 left in the half. But wait, there's a flag...

...unnecessary roughness call on Purify?!! Lewis is ******. Half the distance.

[Clark W Griswold]

Nice play by Pat Sims. Not sure that Tank will keep him on the bench if he keeps playing like that.

[just another bengals fan]

Wow, I'm telling you right now, watch out for Pat Sims, that guy has impressed me all preseason long, what a beast, he will be unstoppable in the regular season.

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st and 10: Scott carry goes for a nice gain of about 14. 1:58, 2-minute warning.

[Peace2]

if we get out of this half 21-21, i'd be pretty happy.

[Macnbaish]

First string oline back in. Good.

[bengalsfanatic85]

there we go baby!

[WhoDeyMatt]

I think Purify just landed himself back on the practice squad.

[BB99]

Rams punt to Cosby, fair catch at the 11. 2:04 left in the half. But wait, there's a flag...

...unnecessary roughness call on Purify?!! Lewis is ******. Half the distance.

I like the intensity by Purify, he is just trying to make the team. Probably realizing with Crosby's TD he is going to the PS and just took it out on the Rams, :lol:

[Leprechanus]

Can't wait for next week's Hard Knocks and see these guys get absolutely chewed by the coaches.

[bengalsfanatic85]

Swank PAT is good. Jungle Boogie. 21-14 Rams. Kickoff coming up after the commercial. :D

haha

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st and 10 from the 19: Leonard 3 yard carry, including a Leonard leap. Time out, Bengals. 30 second time out.

[Peace2]

Can't wait for next week's Hard Knocks and see these guys get absolutely chewed by the coaches.

Yeah, they are going to get laid into. Or they should. You can't come out like this in any profession.

[just another bengals fan]

what did purify do?, i missed it

[Macnbaish]

They didn't show it on the stream I'm watching. Apparently unnecessary roughness.

[WhoDeyMatt]

2nd and 7 from the 22: Shotgun snap, incomplete pass intended for Coats. O'Sullivan was under pressure from the right. Collins got pushed back.

3rd and 7: Shotgun snap, throws wide of Ochocinco. Bengals to punt.

4th down: Huber punt goes to about the Rams 34, returned for about 10. I think.

[bengalsfanatic85]

gotta make those throws sully

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st down, Rams 48: Pittman runs for about 5.
2nd down: Robinson catches a Boller pass at about the 41, stopped immediately by Hall. Surprised he held on, he took a nice shot.

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st down, from the 42: Leon Hall makes a nice stop on Curry, one yard gain.
2nd down: Boller pump fakes, steps through a Michael Johnson tackle and runs to the 32.

1st down: Incomplete pass, off the hands of Stanley. About 5 seconds left.
2nd down from the 32: 50 yard FG attempt, Bengals call timeout to ice the kicker. Kick would have been good.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Field goal is NO GOOD. That's the half.

[NC Bengal Mike]

First half over.

Damn guys hold onto the ball.

Sully way off on a number of throws and Zim not bringing the heat.

Spagnouls blitzing on every play.

Sims, Jumoy and Joseph are balling.

Where's slim?

[BB99]

As bad as that first half was, at least we are only down by 7. Offense needs to come out of halftime and at least get 3 points, preferably 7.

Ha, Ha, you know its bad when Kyle Boller is outperforming you...

[scottws]

Well at least the Bengals second-to-last drive was pretty solid. Need to shore up the defense though. I don't know what's going on all of a sudden.

well hopefulyl someone streams it then, cause i wanna see it again in good quality and i'm in canada, lol

BTW the stadium looks pretty full (for preseason)

[melvis]

Defense needs to step it up although 14 points off turnovers isn't really on them. Offensive line is opening holes in the running game but pass blocking doesn't look good. Blitz and you will get there 3 out of 4 times. I like the fact we are only down by 7.

[WhoDeyMatt]

well hopefulyl someone streams it then, cause i wanna see it again in good quality and i'm in canada, lol

BTW the stadium looks pretty full (for preseason)

Hard to say, really. There's a lot of empty seats in the upper deck and club level, but they could be off getting something to eat or taking a leak. :D I can only see the crowd behind Munoz and the Frankenstein monster.

[Joe from Florence]

Our O-Line sounds like it's going to be a long year again. Defense sounds like they can't stop the run either.
not sounding good so far

[melvis]

Benson, Leonard and Scott have all had nice runs. Another game another fumble by a rb. Still too many penalties. Several killed nice gains. Overall Caldwell has looked pretty good.

[WhoDeyMatt]

DeDe Dorsey KR goes to the Bengals 24.

1st and 10: I-formation, handoff to Dorsey goes to the 32. Gain of 8.
2nd and 2: Nice run by Dorsey for about 8 to the 39.

1st and 10: Dorsey carries to the 41 up the middle.
2nd and 8: O'Sullivan pass to Ochocinco is a bit off. Incomplete.
3rd and 8: Shotgun, 4wr set, pocket collapses, sack.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Huber punt is returned to the Rams 25.

[CKWI88]

Our O-line needs help.....

BAD

[The-Wise-Old-Bengal-Fan]

Ndukwe injured shoulder

[WhoDeyMatt]

Ndukwe is injured, jammed his shoulder. He's out.

1st and 10: Darby run goes for a yard, tackled by Fanene.
2nd and 9: Boller pass to McMichael goes for about 6. Tackled by Rey.
3rd and 2: Boller pass to Phelps goes to the 40. First down, stopped by White and Pope.

1st and 10 from the 39: Handoff to Darby goes for 2, stopped by Hodge and Rey.
Time out, Rams.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Am I talking to myself in here? ;)

[Joe from Florence]

Ndukwe injured shoulder
no big loss

[WhoDeyMatt]

Crowd shot shows lots of empty seats in the upper levels of the stadium.

2nd and 8 from the 40: Bubble screen to Tim Carter goes to about the 45, forced out by Trent.
3rd and 4: Incomplete pass intended for McMichael, broken up by Hodge.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Punt to Nelson caught at the 16, HUGE return to the Rams 36, flattening the punter with a stiffarm along the way.

Palmer in

1st and 10: Pass to Henry goes for 8.

[melvis]

Nice return by Nelson

[Clark W Griswold]

no big loss

I think that is a bit too harsh. He is not all some on here make him out to be but he is a solid, experienced safety. If Crocker can't go, then Ndukwe is the next best option.

[cliftonskyline]

well if tom nelson hasnt made the team yet...

[WhoDeyMatt]

2nd and 2: Dorsey carries to the 25, but there's a flag...

... no foul.

[just another bengals fan]

Nelson is doing a solid job, Chatman to be cut?

[melvis]

Wouldn't bother me fror Chatman to go.

[BB99]

Nelson is doing a solid job, Chatman to be cut?

With Nelson and Crosby's play on special teams tonight, I am kind of expecting that.

We have a Henry stat line sighting, :thumbsup:

[Clark W Griswold]

Nelson with a great return - he has played his way onto this team for sure.

[Joe from Florence]

i am so tired of this idiotic offensive line holding every series

[melvis]

Imagine that a screen on 1st and 20. What are the odds?

[WhoDeyMatt]

1st and 10: Dorsey carries for no gain. Flag on the play: holding on Luigs. Send it back to the 35.

1st and 20: Swing pass to Caldwell gets sniffed out for a loss of 2.
2nd and 22: Interception. Quincy Butler, returns it all the way to the Bengals 18 before Jordan Palmer finally stops him. St. Louis gets a 5-yard penalty after the play for delay of game, spiking the ball.

[Joe from Florence]

I think that is a bit too harsh. He is not all some on here make him out to be but he is a solid, experienced safety. If Crocker can't go, then Ndukwe is the next best option.
i meant i'd rather it be him than a starter like Roy Williams

[MakeShift]

Butler just intercepted Jordan Palmer and ran it back like 50 yards......Jordan with a nice open tackle to stop a TD......trying to make something happen.....nice read by Quincy Butler

[Joe from Florence]

ok, i've heard enough...i'll watch some when it is replayed but i can't listen to this team anymore tonight...they sound too much like last years team tonight

[melvis]

[Bengalitis]

is the game still on? link please

[Bengal Dude]

Am I talking to myself in here? ;)

Well you're in a thread, doing play by play, that's about which RB would go to the PS.

[scottws]

is the game still on? link please

You don't want it. Your Benalitis will flare up.

[bengalsfanatic85]

man our offense looked like the three stooges trying to make that tackle after the pick

[Bengals Mike]

not that its saying much but at least no regular starters have been causing the turnovers,

O'Sullivan probably wont play again unless Palmer is hurt and the team would be in trouble anyway with anyone but Palmer starting, Bernard Scott probably wont be seeing much playing time as a rookie anyway but naturally rookies make rookie mistakes anyway which he did with the fumble and this is pretty much Jordan Palmer's season right now anyway since he's gonna be buried 3rd on the depth chart

Well you're in a thread, doing play by play, that's about which RB would go to the PS.

I am TOTALLY in the wrong thread. Criminy. Mods? Please move my posts? :cry::cry::cry:

[Bengals Mike]

Man can you imagine if this Bengals team was playing the Steelers or Ravens with all of these mental mistakes and turnovers? We would be getting annihilated rather than only being 10 down.

that would probably happen in any game without Carson Palmer playing

Sorry guys, I was posting my second-half play-by-play in the wrong thread! :mad::cry:

[WhoDeyMatt]

3rd and 7: Shotgun, Palmer sacked. Waited too long.

[just another bengals fan]

Rag doll / stunt man alert

[battey60]

3d is dying to make this team.

[BB99]

There are no positives that can be taken from this game. Every time I try and think of something positive, like special teams, etc. I have to keep telling myself, ( we are playing the St. Louis Rams at home) the team that picked 3 spots ahead of us.

:cry: again no positives coming from this game.:angry:

literally.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Great punt coverage by Morgan Trent! Rams will start around their own 20.

[tdlong85]

3d nice return buddy

there is one

we wont be seeing a quarterback botching handoffs or underthrowing receivers like O'Sullivan and Jordan on the 13th

I was just thinking the same thing. I know this is just preseason, but they look terrible. The wont come close to competing in the AFCN playing like this. They need to step it up in the trenches and quit putting the ball on the ground.

[bengalsfanatic85]

i'm reallllly getting sick of that excuse.

[maclanta]

if brock berlin shreds our d right now, i might vomit.

[WhoDeyMatt]

Rams start at the 17, but flagged for a false start.

1st and 15: Jerome Johnson on a screen gets a big gain. 16 yards, first down.

1st and 10: Pittman runs for about 4.
2nd and 6: Pass to Fells complete, tackled by Rey. Gain of about 5.
3rd and 1: Berlin throws behind his receiver. Incomplete. Flag on the play...

... illegal hands to the face on Trent. First down.

1st and 10 from 42: I fomation, pass from Berlin to Carter is overthrown. Incomplete.

[just another bengals fan]

i'm reallllly getting sick of that excuse.

its no excuse, its reality, this team ***** without him.

carson palmer = the bengals

[WhoDeyMatt]

2nd and 10: Pittman runs, but nothing doing. Gain of about 2. Hodge on the stop.
That's the end of the 3rd quarter.

[bearcatbob]

CP should have requested a trade before signing his extension...He probably is second guessing that decision the past couple of years.

[bengalsfanatic85]

haha did anyone see corey lynch go flying when the reciever bumped into him????

i guess that shows his value to this team.

[bearcatbob]

its no excuse, its reality, this team ***** with or without him.

carson palmer = Bengalized

Fixed it 4ya! :tiger:

[bengalsfanatic85]

its no excuse, its reality, this team ***** without him.

carson palmer = the bengals

okay but palmer doesn't affect horrible pass protection, stupid penalties, fumbles, dropped passes, etc...

this team needs a lot of work on both sides of the ball.

o'sullivan isn't the greatest qb in the world but hes an accurate passer. you cant blame this on him

palmer isnt a miracle man

[WhoDeyMatt]

3rd and 8: Safety blitz, Berlin throws it right into Brandon Johnson's chest, who prompty drops it.

Rams punt.

Cosby stupidly catches the ball at the 1 yard line, but there's a flag. Ineligible man downfield, Rams. Bengals make 'em kick it again.

[BB99]

its no excuse, its reality, this team ***** without him.

carson palmer = the bengals

Based on what I have seen others write, and the updates on the tracker. Palmer probably would have been walking off the field with a bloody nose or worse. Doubt he makes to much off a difference with how it seems most of the team is playing tonight.

[Krynn]

the game doest seem to be that bad concidering we dont have our qb yet again. i mean there are alot of mistakes but so far with just backups in im impressed. The only key mistake aside from trivial things was that 73 yard fumble recov for a td for them. I must say i am vry impressed with the punt returners. They seem to be doing well. Yeah you can say STL isnt that good of a team but 3 punt returns for alot of yards 44 long and a 49 long and a td. Thats comforting. Im impressed with cosby. both of them really. Andre need to get a contract and tell his agent to stop being a *****. hes fat and has man boobs.. hes out of shape and yes I think he will help us greatly but look at sanchez.. hes sucking it up.. the nfl needs a new way to deal with first round picks. we are getting the shaft due to sanchez and his rediculous contract. Id give him a dollar to play for me. then cut him cause he blows so far. Id rather have eli and his draft day antics over sanchez anyday. But i hope for the best. We need carson. we need andre to kick his stupid antics . we need our team to play as a team.

[WhoDeyMatt]

On the re-kick: Punter's standing on the Rams 25...

...Cosby lets it go this time, but the ball bounces to about the two and a Rams player downs it. Wow, that's a helluva kick.

[Clark W Griswold]

its no excuse, its reality, this team ***** without him.

carson palmer = the bengals

Then the Bengals will never be good. I know Palmer is the franchise player but you need to be able to compete even if your star QB goes down. This team would probably fold up it's tent and go home if Palmer were lost for the season again. That is not how a good team responds. You may need to change how you play but if you are any good then you will still be a good team.

Look at the Patriots last year - lost a guy who was coming off of the best season in NFL history and they still finished 11-5. That's why, no matter who is playing QB, the rest of the team needs to play well, not turn the ball over and find other ways to win games.

[maclanta]

you wonder how many of these players are just so worried about making the team this year that they're overpursuing and not sticking to their fundamentals... trying to do too much.

Very true...I think Sullivan can step up though I don't mind watching him play. Need to give him some more time back there O-line still is not steady enough

[bearcatbob]

Is it too much of a stretch in hoping for an 5-11 season? :tiger:

[Krynn]

i agree sullivan isnt the answer but hes not a bad backup. all concidering.

[maclanta]

i really think we have a lot of guys overplaying here tonight


and by the way... who the &%$@ do we get rid of at rb. talk about a roster batlle.

:Clap::Clap:

[WhoDeyMatt]

Bengals from the 3: Bernard Scott runs it outside to the right. Gain of about 8.
2nd and 2: I formation, Scott to the 15. First down.

1st and 10: I formation, but 83 jumps.
1st and 15: Scott runs it back to about the 17, but there's another flag...

... flag against Bengals for illegal formation.

1st and 20: Palmer gets hit, fumbles, but the Bengals recover at the 2. Jeez.

[WhoDeyMatt]

2nd and 23: GOOD GOD, another flag?! What the hell? Holding, but the penalty's declined. Scott's run for 2 counts. Make it 3rd and 21.

3rd and 21: Bengals call a much-needed time out so the coaching staff can explain to everyone what they're doing wrong, which is basically sucking at life.

[cliftonskyline]

does brat really think a rb is gonna pop a first down on 3rd and 20??

did I miss something???

[cliftonskyline]

k it was 2nd down but wtf???

[camman007]

does brat really think a rb is gonna pop a first down on 3rd and 20??

According to Brat philosophy a RB would indeed make that play :cry:

[scottws]

This isn't a real game. I think they are trying to decide tonight who they are going to get rid of at RB. I mean they are barely passing the ball.

Still, that's no excuse for the overall terrible play (yay Chris Henry TD!). Hopefully the theory that a lot of players are overplaying has some truth and they'll settle down when it counts.

I will say this, they need to come out and get things done this week in practice and play well in the 4th preseason game or they will be lacking some confidence.

[WhoDeyMatt]

3rd and 21: Bernard Scott has an amazing run where he stiffarms one guy and dives over another. May have gotten... YES. Got the first down!

1st and 10 from the 26: Jordan Palmer complete to Faschi for 20.

1st and 10 from the 46: Deep ball to Henry. TD.

[cliftonskyline]

well, i take that one back! ha!

Mods, please delete any "Jordan should be our 2nd string QB" threads so that we can protect those that suggested this from public embarrassment.

Thank you.


Tip for the younger Palmer - Holding onto the ball too long on your own goal line then fumbling as soon as someone gets near you makes us all suspect you are only on the team because big bro is the franchise player.

hell yeah scott!!!!!

[Peace2]

I've been asking for that all night! 8 guys in the box. throw it over the top with the wideouts we've got.

Nice play. Let's win the game.

please sit chris henry now and play simpson... henry can sit the next game too for all i care... he's ready

well that's also on good drafting and good coaching, Cassel was from a pro system at USC, of course henever played but he had exposure to the system there and pretty much carried that knowledge over to New England where he learned even more and when he finally had his chance he did well for himself, granted he had a lot better andm ore around him than most backups but the Bengals havent really drafted an understudy to be put into a role like that and have only signed these waiver wire backups that havent translated into anything

for example like Fitzpatrick who looks like he has an arm for a West Coast offense and didnt have the arm strength to follow a pass heavy playbook like the Bengals run and we all saw what happened from that, Chad's longest catch all year was only 26 yards

Complete to who? This is literally the first time I've seen or heard that name.

He's one of the TEs we signed last week. He played in Oakland before coming here.

GREAT job by scott, that made me happy.. pass to the TE... they said Faschi??? i said WHO? lol i must of missed that signing, either way way a good catch...

and god damn henry is good...

yea.. i'll give ya some credit too.. nice pass jordan... way to redeem after underthrowing him and having it picked

[Clark W Griswold]

Haaa - I love it.

Earlier I talk about Leonard lacking speed/quickness and then he breaks off a nice run.

Now, I bash Jordan and he responds with a nice throw over the middle followed by a long TD to Henry.

I really know my football!! :wacko:

[battey60]

1 good drive with the 2nd stringers doesn't erase 3 bad ones with 1st.

He has a pretty good arm but needs alot of work...while I dont think he should be our #2 or that his name doesnt help him ,I do think that he has potential and could end up being an alright backup that could come in and win a game or 2 in the future.

[scottws]
