I gotta admit, Brady seriously reminded me of Dalton today. Or at least how Dalton played on that 5 game streak after Sanu went down. Brady was overthrowing open receivers on deep routes, having passes swatted at the line, throwing a couple picks, throwing behind wrs etc.
The only difference is that Brady had plenty of time in the pocket.

What matters is the fact that Andy has stunk it up in both those playoff losses and Gruden has not faired much better,,,especially this last one, i dont give a damn if it was gruden and andy first year, you dont NOT target your best player for an entire half,,,and you dont NOT run the ball when its clearly working,,,that is sheer stupidity that i wouldnt even expect out of rookies.

i watched the first half of the raven/pats game and read up on the rest,,,there were 2 questionable punts and some bad time management before 1st half was over,,,problem is you dont see that happen with the pats often,,,with the bengals its damn near every game that absolutely dumb calls are made especially with time management. Even when we win i still see stupid things that marvin or the coaching staff wound up doing that could have cost us the game,,yes every team is going to do this once in awhile,,,we however do it all the time.

Now Mike needs to give the players some better coaches. Time to cut ties with some of these guys who have been around for years. Could we have better players yes, every team could say that. Zim took the players he got and made a good D. Game planned a game winning D. Had the offense been just average the last 5 games and the playoff game we would have broken the 23 year streak. Maybe even won in DEN. Does BALT really have a roster that is that much better? BALT roster = CIN roster BALT coaching > CIN coaches SF roster > CIN roster getting close SF coaching > CIN coaching Happy with being relevent but now we are the joke of the playoffs. Oh those Bengals. Now Andre brings a gun to an airport and those jokes start all over. |

When New England comes to Paul Brown Stadium in 2013 to play the Bengals, I want the Patriots destroyed. I want Tom Brady to hit the turf as many times as Carlos Dunlap, Geno Atkins, and Vontaze Burfict can get to him. I don't want Brady injured -- I'm mean but not that mean -- but I want his bell rung so hard that he will have nightmares about Cincinnati for months. I am sick of that pretty boy.

Sorry, we are not close offensive talent wise to those two teams and not a darn thing any coach can do about that right now.

We're just good enough to get to the playoffs and lose 3 of the past 4 years...which means our talent level has stayed the same and not improved. |

Good point ... it was an uncharacteristically sloppy game by the Pats. Between the clock mismanagement at the end of the first half and Welker's big drop when he was wide open early in the 3rd quarter, the Pats could easily have led that game 20-7 in the third quarter. It's rare to see the Pats squander such opportunities like that.

While one of the best teams in the NFL recently, they aren't the dominant postseason team and haven't been for 6 years.
The illegal scouting stuff they did probably is what made an elite team the best team. The margin is that small. |

That was crazy how they brought Mallet in to fake a punt just to get a timeout called.

My point was that we have had different players through out the years with a similar looking team. Skidish QB, mental lapes during the worst times, game planning, contested passes, predictability, not using players to their strengths, not covering the TE, not giving playing time to better players, etc. Who exactly are you calling out in this thread, the fans that are still waiting for a playoff win? Just one playoff win, not SB, just one playoff win. Quote:

Dalton got his team to the playoffs in back to back seasons...in his first two seasons. That didnt buy him any benefit of the doubt.

The only similarities is we both have great defensive lines, our WRs and CBs are similar. The 49ers actually sign free agents to improve...Justin Smith, Whitner, Manningham, Moss, Carlos Rogers. Maybe had we signed impact free agents for years the gap would be smaller...but we don't. We sign value guys.

"Patriots problems." OOOOO! Say it again! I love hearing "Patriots" and "problems" as consecutive words in the same sentence.

You proved my point coaches using players to their stengths, Justin Smith, Carlos Rogers, Ahmad Brooks. Whitner and Rogers were not super stars when they signed them. The Bills, Eagles and Skins in the past, all brought in big FA's and failed. What big FA's did the Ravens bring in? They brought in Pollard a FA two years ago and J. Jones, value guys. They made a huge splash with V. Leach. Who were NFL FA's last year that made a huge impact this year that realistically we could have signed? How about A. Jones, Gilberry, Nelson, Newman, all value guys brought in and contributed on D. T. Howard FA would have been a big contributer. Bengals 3 picks in the first 54, Niners 1. Bengals draft 3 starters/contributers I would say they just got even closer. Now coaches what do you do with them. |

They also have been fortunate enough to play the weakest division in football (AFCE). Put them in the AFCN and after they were beat to death, my hunch is they would have not been so dominant.
