|SF2| Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Good: (Ok, I am really reaching) No turnovers? Only 2 sacks/Andy didn't die Tyler Kroft nice reception. Bad: Nothing Putrid: Horrific running game against #31 rushing defense. 29 FUCKING YARDS on 17 carries? Take out Mixon TD run, 22 yards on 16 carries. 1-8 on third down. Time of Possession Cin 19:46 Jax 40:14 Is this a record? Cin 8 first downs Jax 26 Cin 148 yards Jax 407 AJ Green goes apeshit. I get that Ramsey did a punk move but seriously?? Going MMA and punching his helmet with your fist? Defense sucked. Blake Bortles had 2X the passing yards Andy had. Marvin Lewis once again has lost this team.

BengalFanInTO Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 GOOD Defense only gave up 16 points Redzone defense was solid once again Tyler Kroft Lawson continues to get pressure on the QB AJ Green goes fucking nuts The Bengals tried to stick to a "bellcow" RB approach BAD JAX was 12/18 on third down. They were converting long, short, intermediate... it didn't matter Andy Dalton Marvin Lewis UGLY The Bengals now officially have the worst running game in the NFL The offensive line I understand the record for TOP is 45:07 so...this game was in the area of a record breaker.

membengal Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 The ugly is that Marvin Lewis wasn't fired immediately after the game ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron~Popeil Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 This team was beaten before kickoff. You can tell by their body language that they are mailing it in. Started in the locker room in Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really anything to put in the "good" category this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Yeah as really it is the defense that need to win them the games. Not just offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, the point others are making is that regardless of the multiplicity of first downs by the Jags, AND their whopping time of possession, our defense played well enough to win because the scoreboard is the only thing that matters. Our defense has ALREADY been carrying this team all season long. The absolutely putrid?

mhfinks Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Good: The Green fight! Finally some fire! Bad: You name it Ugly: we play the titans on Sunday and Marvin Lewis is still the coach! Worse - Andy is still the QB - Put in AJ and see what you have before you let him walk in FA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishBengalFan Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 The following is from a Fantasy website, but I thought the author was particularly insightful: Quote It is almost impossible to evaluate Dalton’s play in this type of game. Jacksonville’s outstanding defensive line dominated Cincinnati’s struggling offensive line and Dalton was under constant pressure. He did well to take just two sacks and avoid turning the ball over. The situation is especially dire at the offensive tackle spots, where veteran right tackle Andre Smith struggles against the speed rush and left tackle Cedric Ogbuehi continues to be a massive liability. Ogbuehi was put on skates by Jacksonville bull rushes on multiple occasions, causing the pocket to instantly collapse. Dalton also had to play the second half without his top playmaker, A.J. Green, who was thrown out for fighting. Dalton has always been a below-average quarterback when facing pressure. Behind this offensive line, expect him to struggle mightily against any team with a solid pass rush. Truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, it's not really the "truth" because Andy hasn't always been below average under pressure. In 2015 he was in the upper half of the league (11th IIRC) out of 30+ QBs under pressure, so that immediately makes that statement false. No doubt a weakness in his game is his performance when the defense is getting near him though. With our current OL I don't know how anyone could expect very many QBs to perform well, and we happen to have a guy that gets rattled under heavy defensive pressure to boot. This season is what it is, hopefully the FO addresses the issues for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
