Did yesterday remind anyone else of...

[Guest mongoloido]

It just seems very much like the Stealers game from last year (the October 23rd one), and I feel almost as sick as I did after that game. In both games, the offense stated out looking great, but stalled when it got to the red zone. Two field goal attempts ensued (Shayne missed one of them in the Stealers game). In between, the defense played well, giving hope we could do some damage (but man, those field goals instead of touchdowns just nagged at the brain). After that, the Bengals just kind of stagnated in both games. The other team had more success moving the ball, and went in to halftime with a lead.

The second half of each game showed a bit of promise early on, and then the team just seemed to quit...

I don't know. Did anyone feel we'd seen this last year against the Stealers? Just me?

I was just making this post to another thread, when you made this thread...

So you`re able to predict 4 more losses just based off of yesterday`s game ?

Step away from the edge.
Yesterday`s game looked A LOT like the Stealers game last year at PBS.
The Stealers rushes for 221 yards and totally dominated the Bengals, after
the Bengals settled for 2 FG`s. Those Bengals only scored 13 points too.

The Bengals ended that game being tied with the Stealers for first place.
They went on to win the division.

These Bengals have 2 weeks to get things right, and get healthier.
I`m not happy about yesterday`s game at all. But this IS a good team.
This isn`t the Bengals of old that fold at the first sign of trouble.
They lost one game. There is stil a lot of football to be played and won...[/quote]

The Bengals gave up 17 points in the 3rd quarter in that Stealers loss.
The score was 7-6 right before that.

I think it was a huge mistake by Marvin to punt when it was 4th and 2 from the Pats 38.
He went for it on 4th and 1 from their own 30 last week. So I don`t understand why he
chose to punt in that situation. That decision was the beginning of the end.

[Guest mongoloido]

I think the punt was a bit of a mistake too, but after watching those back to back bad pass plays to CJ and TJ... I don't get why we didn't use the running game in that area. I guess hindsight is 20-20, but I thought for sure they'd do a bit of continued pounding after Rudi gouged them for 8 yards.

I was thinking it reminded me of that opening day game against the broncos.....

[WhoDey48]

it seemed to me, when watching the game, that it looked like carson decided not to go for it on 4th and 2 and have the team punt. marvin left him out there, they were lining up, then i thought carson looked confused so he just came to the sidelines... not wanting to risk not making the 4th and 2.

was that just me?

[Guest schotzee]

For some reason we suck at home to +500 teams.Did anybody see that stat they showed yesterday before the game about us losing to those teams during the Marvin era?

I thought, at the very least, they'd do that lame thing of lining up to try and draw an offsides. What they actually did was baffling.

yesterday reminded me of 1991 - 2002.
