Bengals/Eagles Open Thread

AUTHOR: | IN: Bengals | COMMENTS: 64 Comments |

Hat tip to C. Trent for the above, which he mentioned in a post a couple weeks back. I wholeheartedly agree: Best. Jersey Ever.

Anyhow…another Sunday, another opportunity for the Cincinnati Bengals to find new and interesting ways to make their shrinking fan base cringe. Kingwilly’s weekly game preview is below. In pregame news, DE Antwan Odom is out as expected. NDD (non-dairy dessert) Frostee Rucker will get the start in his place. Injury-prone DE/LB Eric Henderson is also a scratch, as are the usual cast of rookies: Jerome Simpson, Andre Caldwell and Jason Shirley.

My prediction for today? Bengals tease their fans by staying close in the first half, but fall apart in the third quarter and end up getting blown out.

Final: Bengals 13, Eagles 13.

FG attempt is...NO GOOD. Wide right.

C. Perry gets a carry. C. Perry gets hurt. What else is new. Bengals on the 29 tho.

Roughing call on Philly just killed them. Bengals advance to the Philly 34.

Philly goes 3-and-out, Bengals have the ball on their own 41, 1:19 left.

2 minute warning. Yes, in OT. Please someone make this end.

Eagles self-destruct, punt. Bengals ball near midfield.

Eagles blowing holes in their feet here with penalties.

Punt. Eagles ball on the 12.

Career reception 600 for Chad. Bengals bogging down at midfield though...

And ANOTHER penalty on a punt return...UGH.

Wow...Bengals D snuffs out a trick play??

:08 left, Philly gets the ball.

3rd and 2 and a sack...c'mon Fitz.

Philly O looking like...Cincy's.

...with which they do nothing. Incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, punt.

D holds, Philly gets off a horrible 17 yard kick. Under 2 mins, huge opportunity for the Bengals!

And the O goes 3 and out, teams has a delay called on the punt, and finally gets off a net 25 yard boot. Pa. The. Tic.

Bengals hold on, Reid declines to go for it a second time on 4th down, so it's 13 all with 7 minutes remaining.

Gutsy call by Reid, passing up the chance to tie with a chip shot FG but it got the 1st.

Bengals D finally hitting the wall.

Bengals get the ball back, have one good play and then pffft. Ugh. The a 36 yard punt. Ugh ugh.

Westbrook finally breaks one to midfield. End Q3.

Bengals go for it, don't make it, but I like the call.

5th sack. Fitz never had a chance.

Levi back but now Whit hobbles off.

And first play, bad snap, sack, at least they kept the ball. Ugh.

PICK! Chris Crocker! McNabb's 3rd INT of the day.

Eagles finally getting into a rhythm here.

What the hell call was that? 3rd and 1 and you call a pitch that loses five? Ugh, ugh, ugh. Fire Sideshow Bob!

TD Eagles. That was quick. 13-10 Bengals.

Ugh. From the 38 all the way down to the 3. Bengals D, where are u?

Well, that was a bizarre play...Utecht fumbles out of bounds, not enough for the first. Graham adds the FG. 13-3 Cincy.

Nice 14 yard run by Benson.

Eagles go 3 and out.

Update on Chatman: full movement, sounds like he'll be OK.

Q3 begins. Eagles have the ball to start.

Bengals 10-7 at the half. Defense playing well with a FF and 2 picks. Offense still struggling. Failure to punch it in with a 1-and-goal still hurts, could come back to bite them in the tail. Special teams has lived up to the "special" part of its name with bad kicks, punts and penalties.

PICK! Joseph saves at least a FG!

And teams strikes again...KO out of bounds, Eagles get the ball at the 40. Let's see, add that to 2 penalties and a 25 yard punt = Darrin Simmons, where are you?

TD Houshmandzadeh! Bengals go up 10-3 with 33 ticks left in the half.

Chatman being carted off...

Chatman hit, hurt, fumbles, Eagles ball.

Offense reverts to form, punts.

D stiffens but too late. 3 all.
