Bengals/Texans Open Thread

by Bengals

Going up early since I will be out this afternoon but back (hopefully) in time for the game. Win No. 1…or loss No. 8? And does it really matter? (Hint: the answer is not yes).

Update: Dave is right in comments below, but FWIW, here’s Hobson on who’s in & out today:

For the third straight game Palmer was inactive and the No. 3 quarterback. Other injured players down Sunday were the two rookie receivers Jerome Simpson (ankle) and Andre Caldwell (foot) as well as tight end Ben Utecht (chest), cornerback Jamar Fletcher (hamstring), and linebacker Corey Mays (ankle). Also inactive, like he has all season, was rookie defensive tackle Jason Shirley as was offensive lineman Andrew Crummey, just added to the club a few days ago.

Hobs also notes that LB/DE Eric Henderson, who was just elevated from the practice squad this week, is active.

Did I mention the Reds are having a poker tournament??

Oh, yeah: Ryan Fitzpat-pick strikes again.

Bengals D forces a punt so the offensive clown show gets another chance for BIG LAFFS...

Well, that was a different sequence on O at least: sack, run, pick. Houston up again.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Slayton 20 yards for the score. 35-6 Houston.

Re: game. Oh, yeah, no question.

Bengals drive into the red zone, Fitz fumbles, Houston ball. This game is a laff riot.

Houston, 3 plays, 50 yards, TD K-Walt. 28-6 Texans. Joseph is teh suck today, too.

Bengals ball, pass-pass-pass-punt. Houston ball.

Bengals halftime adjustment was apparently "let's not cover Andre Johnson." Houston 21-6 on a TD catch by K-Walt.

14-6 at the half. Sad thing is that absent a teams malfunction on Cincy's part this is a 1-point game, which I suppose only goes to show how bad both teams are. Fitz is 13/20 for 104 yards, Benson has 41 yards on 8 carries, and the leading WR is Housh at 5/33. Run defense has been good but the secondary has been getting gashed, esp. Hall.

Pathetic. The run is working so what do the Bengals do in the red zone? Pass-pass-pass-pass-FG. Houston 14-6.

Patented good-end-of-half drive apparently in progress. 2 min warning.

No pass D whatsoever. Texans 14-3.

Another decent drive bogs down due to a false start penalty, this one on Andrews. Bengals punt. Houston get the ball at their 9.

End Q1. Benson has 27 yards on 5 carries, Fitz is 8/11 for 58 yards. Bengals down by 4.

Benson having a good day...

D battens things down after giving up a big play, forces a punt.

Bengals put together a nice drive that breaks down as they close in and finally gets the shaft thanks to a false start by Chad. WTF? Houston up 7-3.

Awesome coverage there, fellas. Ugh. Texans 7-0.

It doesn't matter at all.

On a better note, the Cincinnati Reds are having their RedsFest Dec 12-14th. I would like to invite everyone to play at the Poker Tournament on Dec 13th (Saturday) starting at 5pm. If you register in the next 2 weeks, buy in is $150, after that buy in is $200 and first place is GUARANTEED $10, 000 (yes 10K) cash prize.

If you register, tell em David Howard sent ya. No I don't get anything out of it, other than they know I helped bring them players (I do some marketing work for them pro bono) and I like the Reds and their Charities.
