The Scales Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 [quote name='Oldcat' date='30 November 2009 - 11:59 AM' timestamp='1259596769' post='834911'] Both the Ravens and Steelers had top ranked offenses before we played them. [/quote] This is certainly true. But as you know these ratings and rankings change from game to game, when it's all said and done at the end of the season I think the numbers can say more about how the team compares. The Bengals haven't been tested against the likes of the Minnesota Vikings, the Saints, the Patriots, or the Colts. The team has dominated against the division, beating them at the old game. I am thankful that the Minnesota game is scheduled right where it is. I think it will be a perfectly placed test. One which I think certainly think they can win, but one in which I think they will have to play like a champs to do so. Farve is leading an Offense that is backed by one of the Best Runners in the League (I hope they coach em up strong on the strip as Peterson likes to fumble) , and a pair of tall lanky wideouts who may pose matchup problems for our "average" sized corners. Percy Harvin could be looking at a rookie of the year award, and has the suddeness to put the fear in a third corner. Their front four alone on Defense can put serious heat on the Quarterback, and take a tremendous amount of pressure off an effective secondary. THE LINE MUST HOLD!!!

FulcherVulcher33 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Look I am not at all complaining about this team I am estatic that we are 8-3 and have had the minimal injuries that we have had, I am just saying that our pass blocking must improve and that the pass game must improve for us to go deep in the playoffs or the sb, and if you cant see that you dont know football.

Orange 'n Black Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Random thoughts from things in this thread: -Offense needs to improve, I agree. Don't think that it requires meltdown mode. They have all the pieces, the coaching, the leadership, the team spirit. Not a major worry. Not the offense of 08. -No NFC team besides the Saints scares me. Maybe the Vikes, but they have had a piss-easy sked, taken to the wire by one team we swept, beaten by another we swept, and beat up on a third we also beat. If we make it to the SB we have a hell of a chance to win it. -AFC competition is a lot tougher. No team I think we're incapable of beating but anybody we meet is going to give us a hell of a game. SD particularly is looking beastly. -I get the feeling either pass blocking improves tremendously this week in practice or Brian Leonard is never inactive again.

|SF2| Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 IMHO we do have a pretty serious problem with the medium to deep passing game and its not a little problem. I never thought I would wish for Chris Henry to be back on the field but we do need him or someone of his ability. The reality is if we can't stretch the field we will have a difficult time against any of the top tier teams in the league. I hurt our awesome running game and short passing game. Basically, we have about 5 weeks to shore up the oline (Smith) and find a deep threat speed receiver who can stretch the field a bit (Simpson?). We do have the pieces in place to do this on paper but it really depends on where these guys are ability wise. Still, way better than anytime in the last 18 years and that includes 2005 as far as I am concerned. Better, tougher defense by far. The grass looks pretty good on this side right now.
