Bengals1181 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 [b] They lost, but they won![/b] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] The regular season is over, and the seedings are set for the playoffs. I have mixed emotions about how some of the teams enter the postseason. Momentum is usually a critical factor heading into the playoffs, but it isn't always the most important component.[/size][/font] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] The [url="http://www.nfl.com/teams/houstontexans/profile?team=HOU"]Houston Texans[/url], [url="http://www.nfl.com/teams/cincinnatibengals/profile?team=CIN"]Cincinnati Bengals[/url] and [url="http://www.nfl.com/teams/denverbroncos/profile?team=DEN"]Denver Broncos[/url] advanced into the dance without winning in Week 17 wins. Sure, the [url="http://www.nfl.com/teams/neworleanssaints/profile?team=NO"]New Orleans Saints[/url] entered the postseason on a three-game losing streak and went on to win the Super Bowl, but I don't have any faith that either of those three teams will repeat the Saints' title run.[/size][/font] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] Houston won its division but finished the season on a three-game losing streak and can barely break the 20-point barrier without injured quarterback [url="http://www.nfl.com/players/mattschaub/profile?id=SCH085186"]Matt Schaub[/url].[/size][/font] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] The Texans face a Bengals squad that went a combined 0-7 against teams in the playoffs this season, including a 20-19 loss to the Texans three weeks ago. Two rookie quarterbacks most likely will face off in this game, and as I pointed out in my [url="http://www.nfl.com/goto?id=09000d5d8257c088"]"Trends in the Game" piece last week[/url], things are tough for rookie quarterbacks in the postseason.[/size][/font] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] Since the merger, rookie quarterbacks are 6-9 in playoff games and no rookie ever has led his team to a Super Bowl. The Bengals couldn't stop [url="http://www.nfl.com/players/rayrice/profile?id=RIC154451"]Ray Rice[/url] on the ground this week (24 carries for 191 yards and two touchdowns) and they will struggle against [url="http://www.nfl.com/players/arianfoster/profile?id=FOS107404"]Arian Foster[/url] and Ben Tate, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals won an ugly game.[/size][/font] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] Neither team is going any further than the first round, however.[/size][/font] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] [/size][/font] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] video in the link[/size][/font] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] [/size][/font] [font=arial, verdana, helvetica][size=4] [url="http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d825a3e6e/article/afc-trio-backs-into-playoffs-but-momentum-isnt-always-a-must?campaign=Twitter_features"]http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d825a3e6e/article/afc-trio-backs-into-playoffs-but-momentum-isnt-always-a-must?campaign=Twitter_features[/url][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 [b]Playing from behind vs with the lead[/b] Yesterday was another example of the Bengals defense putting pressure on the Bengals offense. The Bengals fell behind 7-0, and 17-3 to Baltimore. I wondered how much time the Bengals have actually played with the lead this season. Joe Reedy, of the Enquirer, took up the challenge. 960 total minutes of football Bengals have been [b]tied 23%[/b] of season (261:41) Bengals have [b]led 31%[/b] of season (296:14) Bengals have [b]trailed 46%[/b] of season (447:05) Read more: [url="http://www.espn1530.com/pages/lancesBlog.html#ixzz1iKtz0Utk"]http://www.espn1530.com/pages/lancesBlog.html#ixzz1iKtz0Utk[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 On Sunday Night football at halftime, Dungy thought we will win, while Rodney Cheap Shot Harrison laughed and basically said that the Texans have been awful, but will win at home.

Andre Johnson played in week 17 but they limited his snaps so he hasn't had time to develop chemistry with Yates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 [b] T.J. Yates threw well on Monday[/b] Posted by Josh Alper on January 2, 2012, 5:51 PM EST [font=Georgia,]It looks like the Texans will avoid having to turn to [url="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/2398/jake-delhomme"]Jake Delhomme[/url] for their first-ever playoff game.[/font] [font=Georgia,]Coach Gary Kubiak said that quarterback [url="http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6603/tj-yates"]T.J. Yates[/url] [url="https://twitter.com/#!/McClain_on_NFL/statuses/153964556979408896"]threw well on Monday[/url], one day after he was forced out of the Texans’ season finale with the Titans. Yates suffered a separated left shoulder, but, per John McClain of the[i]Houston Chronicle[/i], Kubiak expects to have Yates in the starting lineup against the Bengals.[/font] [font=Georgia,]Yates was 4-for-4 for 47 yards before being forced out of the game in the first quarter. Delhomme went 18-of-28 for 211 yards in his first NFL action of the season. His performance was good enough that the Texans probably feel comfortable turning to him should Yates be forced out of Saturday’s contest.[/font] [url="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/02/t-j-yates-threw-well-on-monday/"]http://profootballta...well-on-monday/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
