Bengals1181 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 [b]Good:[/b] D, all things considered they held up well. However: [b]Bad:[/b] Dline lacked pressure much of the game. Defense still struggling to stop short yardage passes, and teams know it. Nuge, come on man! Last drive is much different if you make that. Dalton: I honestly think he gets Hawkins and Green mixed up at times on the field. Been overthrowing Hawkins all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalsFanFromNY Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Andy Dalton needs a stepping stool, why the f*ck we forcing passes to a midget in mid field from a QB who can barely see over his lineman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboi Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 it's time for Bearnard Scott and Ellis to be replaced ,peerman should be getting Ellis playing time.lets see what he can do because Ellis sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Good - run defense was solid overall, as was tackling - pass coverage vs. WRs, other than stupid PI call vs Newman at the end... Totally unnecessary - Scott's running... until he got hurt - punt coverage Bad - untimely shank by Huber that hurt them on field position - Dalton looked confused for most of the day and wasn't his normally accurate self - LBs on pass coverage, especially Lawson - WRs inability to beat coverage with any regularity, and poor ball security - Turnovers - very inconsistent pass rush Ugly - OL play vs. both run and pass, including some poor pass blocking by Gresham - BJGE didn't have much room, but even then he played poorly and showed no burst or ability to break tackles - Nugent badly missing a very routine FG - a critical play Bottom line, defensive effort was good enough - but Miami D had a great game plan, executed well, and none of the Bengal playmakers on offense did enough. They got outplayed up front on both sides, particularly the Bengals' OL vs a very solid Miami front 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewdog Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 This one is pretty simple, it was an ugly effort from almost everyone from the top to the bottom. Gresham and Green played...ok. Manny Lawson either needs to be converted to DE or get released. He is a liability in pass coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 another Bad: Calling a 20yd pass play on a 3rd and 4 in the first half. Just get the first down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 [quote name='bubba' timestamp='1349642127' post='1167634'] Yes. It was an awful call [/quote] Not really. Five yards isn't a gimme. Grab the 3, stop them (our D was rolling at the time) and then drive a little bit and kick the winning three for the win. As it was our O was out of sync most of the game, our vet CB gave up a dumb PI and our turnovers came back to haunt us when pushing for the TD at the end.

Tigris Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 How about when Gresham tried to leap someone who never dove at him? Gresham should start running through people, get the rep, then outsmart them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would scary to have him straight kick you to the disabled list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] ha that was kind of silly, but he still picked up another 4 yards and the first down so you can't really hate on him. I think a general way of summing up today was the Bengals didn't do a good enough job of putting their playmakers in a position to make plays. And Miami's D definitely deserves some credit for that.

|Lucid| Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I thought pass protection was pretty poor today. And not because guys were getting beat. It was because the protection calls were getting goofed. They were fooling us with looks and bringing pressure away from the protection calls.. I can't be 100% sure, but it looked like Faine was getting fooled a lot, and so was Dalton. I thought offensively it was the sloppiest and most undisciplined I have seen them play all season. The defense stepped up, but the pass rush was anemic in general. Marvin's call to take the XP and the field goal were both fine. The problem came down to execution, and Andy shit the bed on the last drive. Andy is wearing this one, along with the rest of the offense and Nugent.

ChicagoBengal Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I don't have a problem with the call to go for the FG, but I do have a problem with the recurring theme of Marv led decent Bengals teams playing down to inferior competition at home. I hope this was a wake up call for a young team, but until proven otherwise, it's just status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the oline played that well, but at least 2 of the sacks were coverage sacks because no one was open. I thought Faine really struggled. Had one penalty that killed a drive, and also let his man get his hands up for the first INT. His man (Starks again) also got his hands up and tipped Dalton's first pass on the very next drive. The running game is really missing Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
