Bengals – Vikings Open Thread
Posted by: david
This is going up a bit early today, but I’m going to be in and out up until game time, so here are some early notes on the game:
RB Larry Johnson will share carries today with RB Cedric Benson.
Vikings WR Percy Harvin is not expected to play this afternoon. On the Bengals sideline, both DT Domata Peko and RB Bernard Scott were ruled out as of last night.
Doc: Bengals defense will be tested today. Well, duh.
Almost game time. Everybody on their lucky couch?
And here we go! Bengals get the ball, promptly commit holding and false start penalties…sigh. Do pick up a 3rd and 13 to.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:07 pmoffensive PI, declined…then another false start…something like four flags in right plays…
December 13th, 2009 at 6:10 pm…aaaand Palmer sacked. Bengals punt.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:11 pmD steps up. Vikes go 3-and-out.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:15 pmBengals can’t generate anything but another false start (Chad) & punt. Minny ball @ their 33.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:22 pmPick! Hall grabs one from Lord Favre. Bengals ball at their 31.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:31 pmAnd the Bengals can’t do anything with it. 3 plays, 0 yards, punt. Minny ball at their 38 after a crappy 31 yard punt by Huber.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:35 pmS Chris Crocker hurt, and Cincy already short on safeties.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:39 pmCrocker back but Vikes driving.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:42 pmEnd Q1 0-0 but Vikes in FG range.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:45 pm3-0 Vikings.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:48 pmCrocker carted off, apparently done.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:51 pmBengals get out near their 40 but cant get crap done on O today. Punt. Net of 5 yards after a big return and unnecessary roughness call on Rey. Sigh.
December 13th, 2009 at 6:57 pmTD Vikes. 10-0 Minnesota.
Also 10-0 Baltimore over Detroit, so no help backing into the AFCN title there so far.
December 13th, 2009 at 7:05 pmCrocker questionable to return with an ankle injury per joe reedy.
December 13th, 2009 at 7:09 pmTD Bengals! Chad with the grab. 10-7 Vikings.
December 13th, 2009 at 7:15 pmBenson over 1,000 yards for the season. Congrats!
December 13th, 2009 at 7:19 pmFG Vikes with :38 left. 13-7 Minny.
December 13th, 2009 at 7:33 pmaaand the Bengals cough it up on the ensuing drive, giving the Vikes a free FG. 16-7 at the half.
Pathetic play by the O today.
December 13th, 2009 at 7:38 pmAnd The Franchise starts the second half with a kickoff out of bounds. Unreal.
December 13th, 2009 at 7:54 pmaaaand J-Joe shaken up.
December 13th, 2009 at 7:58 pmTD Vikes. Game over.
December 13th, 2009 at 8:02 pmBig 42 yard run by Ced gets him close to 100 for the day.
December 13th, 2009 at 8:28 pm1st and goal Bengals…4th and goal from the four…FG. Sigh. 23-10 Bengals.
December 13th, 2009 at 8:32 pmTD Vikes. 30-10 with 3:24 to go.
