Bengals/Giants Open Thread

Sad. They had so many chances. Write the season off here. They won't recover from this loss. Two straight seasons in a row, it's over in week 3. Oh, well, at least this year we can see it.

Awesome. A 3-and-out in OT. We suck.

Survived the Jints' first possession of OT.

This would be a good time for a pick.

the manners in which this team continues to emotionally scar me is never ending.

Oh for gawd's sake, OT? Well, hell, who woulda thunk it, eh?

CAN WE FUCKING CUT THAT FAT USELESS ASSHOLE PIECE OF SHIT LEVI JONES NOW???????

all that is left is a rash of serious injuries to key players.

Game.

And this will be just like the Seattle heartbreaker last season. All team morale will be dead. Season over.

Bengals in the process of blowing it...

goddam that took a lifetime to get on track...preseason is officially over.

the bookies are cringing.

TD HOUSH!!! Bengals UP BY 4 with under 5 minutes to play.

Oh. My. God.

They ran a flea flicker?????

Still holding...16-13 Giants.

3rd and 14 and the Bengals give up the first...pathetic.

And then it all blows up. Need teams or D to score, offense can't.

1st on a 3rd and 9? Holy crap.

holding to field goals where they used to give up TD's.

better.

13 all.

Teams no help.

derailing right now....Giants D has adjusted, Bengals do same-old-same-old.

flat.

Certainly can't count on the line for any pass protection...

Geathers, another anonymous salary cap anchor. Putting Eli on the carpet must become a priority.

Time for some better playcalls or the Offense will go flat. Run that right side power play.

Hey, Geathers shows up. Nice to see ya buddy.

Had a chance to break it open there with the first possession of the second half and...nope.

Gotta get a FB to assist on the left side, or Carson will be hurt.

The D better be readt for a steady diet of Bradshaw and Ward in the second half. Boss must also get jammed a little better to take him off the timing routes, that or just have White put a lick on him.

Carson also must be ready to run a bit quicker if this rush continues. He needs the outlet look to be attentive when he gets that pressure.

I'm down with you on Levi, willy.

A half time lead. OK, its just 3 points but I am convinced that I am still asleep, it's about 6 am Sunday morning, etc. No way this is happening. That said, if the Bengals want to pull this out, something has to be done about Levi Jones. Either bench him or get his some help because he is getting Carson killed. Perry and Chatman need to keep it up. Housh needs to keep it up. Chad: where R U? Ocho ZERO is more like it. Defense had a few breakdowns but overall giving up just 10 is good so far. Teams needs to step it up.

Perhaps it is time to send Jones, while he still has any value, to an O-line depleted team for a CB?

13-10 Bengals.

I hate Levi Jones.

Housh!

Levi needs to sit. Alexander is a buffoon. Levi is not prepared to play today. Move Whit over and get someone in at LG.

You are talking about covering the TE. We don't do that in Cincy, remember?

Zimmer better figure on some changes for the second half, look for Bradshaw getting some carries. We already see tow good calls to Boss getting chunks of yards.. need to knock him down off the line...

holding them to 3 was good but the two 20+ yard plays is unacceptable.

Woke up at the end at least. 10-10.

This is embarassing.

Cue the teams breakdown...big return to near midfield.

CHRIS PERRY!!!! 10-7 Bengals.

Where's this Chatman been all his Bengals career? Oh, yeah, hurt...

Sad thing is that a 28-18 loss would be an improvement...

what a miserable effort. third series for NY and they march it down with the aid of Bengals penalties.
if the Giants score 7 every 3rd possession they will score 28.
if the Bengals score 3 every other possession they will score 18.

simple math.

7-3 Giants

On cue, the defense starts to break down...

Not good enough.

moving the ball...running the ball....FG.

this is a must win. dig.

Nice scramble by Carson...

No doubt, willy.
