The Official Bengals vs Falcons Game Day Thread...

gotta wonder if the flags on Def for doing their job is affecting their tackling aggressiveness?

[Sox 162]

 C'mon D! <whatever>

They haven't called that shit all day on Atlanta and the only reason they called it was to back them up and give Ryan more room to work..

[Jason 3,886]

Where's the roughing the passer flag?

Atlanta is good. We need better D obviously. This is another 6-10, to 9-7 team. Blah

[Sox 162]

Man the looked like roughing...he didn't cuddle him down.

[Jason 3,886]

He was wide open, good thing Matt missed it.

Something seemingly unique about this Bengal defense, in the history of its bad defenses, is that they have the most players "in the area" - yet completely ineffectively - that I think I've ever seen.  I mean, so many plays there are like 3-4 guys there around one receiver and it gets completed anyway.  What that says to me is that perhaps the play calling isn't terrible, the players are just somehow stuck between completing plays and thinking about something they're "supposed" to do.  My guess?  The supposed "new" focus on getting turnovers.

these fans remind me of Warriors fans

 

get every fucking call and cry when they don't get one

[Jason 3,886]

Ugh

[Jason 3,886]

Come on 29

[Sox 162]

The day is complete.I didn't celebrate because I knew the flag was coming. 

[saphead 1,065]

It's  nut cuttin' time. 

[Jason 3,886]

All right Andy, it's on you now.

[Sox 162]

Seriously?

 

[WRAPradio 280]

I didn’t think he was offsides on the block. He left as the center is snapping the ball. Timed perfectly 

[kriZENry 77]

Gotta have faith faith faith

[Sox 162]

As much as I want to win,it doesn't matter if the freaking defense plays this way the rest of the way.

[|High School Harry| 2,854]

Choke coming up

[Jason 3,886]

DPI?!?!?!?!

Yep.  That's why you can give yourself a break and not stress about the Bengals being competitive this year.  Enjoy individual performances, the odd win, and... hope for an awesome player in the draft?  As usual?  As always we're not going anywhere until something fundamental changes, and you might as well not stress about that either.

Boyd is having a great game

I'm impressed with how well he has been so far this year.   Hopefully Ross can step up too.   ...and be consistent.
