BengalPimp Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 This to me is more impressive, than say, winning a high scoring game by a couple of TD's. This is the type of game that thay needed, because when you get to the playoffs, you cant always win by scoring a lot of points, you need to be able to win, against great defenses who do a very good job of containing your offense. A 13-7 win against one of the NFL's best defenses shows me they are a lot more "Playoff-Ready" and really seem out to prove something. Great team effort....oh yeah, not to "knock" anybody, but-------Way to step-up Henry, way to NOT get in the stat-box. You know, you cant just expect to get the ball on a fade-route in the end zone all the time(even though you ARE very good at that), but you gotta do something in the other 99 yards of the field as well.

Carson only had like 23 completations and 230 yards.... Doesn't leave much room for Cheech to do much... Don't knock him when you have the best 2 WR in the game starting opposite of each other....

skyline Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I wouldn't be too quick to criticize Henry in this game, but I do remember him dropping one pass that he had no reason to drop. It seems like he had two drops, but I may be dreaming the second... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you remember How bad TJ houshmandzadeh was in his first coupld of seasons? TJ hardly drops a pass now. Chris is a huge asset and it's going to be because of people like you that will cost us a great #3 WR. Stupid, stupid, stupid.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he comes up for free agency he leaves anyway, because there's no way he will want to stay behind Chad and TJ.When Henry makes catches, it's because teams have decided to cover Chad and TJ and let Henry have single on a safety or something equally stupid. If teams don't favor Chad and TJ as much - like we saw last night - they'll be open and Carson won't be throwing to Cheech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been awhile since kindergarten, but if I remember correctly, 3 comes after 1 and 2. That probably means Chris Henry is our third option, doesn't play every offensive dow, and probably isn't Carson's first read very often.

He's the #3 which means typically the #1 and #2 are going to get looks prior to him. I wouldn't expect him to go lights out and compare his TD / catch ratio to CJ at this stage in his career, it is unheard of - like one TD every 4.8 catches or something. As you said... numbers don't lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a stat in the paper last week and it said that since 1985 the Bengals were 1-117 when they scored less than 14 points. That one win was the 12-3 game against Cleveland in the late 1980's. Look at this year, they lost 14-13 to TB and 38-13 vs. NE. I think it shows that this team has always been built for offense first and if the offense isn't getting it done then our defense was unable to win games for us.So it appears that, once again, Marvin and Co. may have exorcised one more demon from the land of the dead (ie: the 1990's). It would be nice to be able to win a few more like that for a change. Maybe in the playoffs too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a little early to proclaim this defense a juggernaut (I realize noone said this, but in the playoffs I would still rely on the offense). In my opinion, I would still like to see Bres go. If this continues for the rest of the season (especially against Indy, I'll change my mind). I expect a good showing next week against Oakland, but the real tests will come soon enough.

Stupid, stupid, stupid....Why would an internet poster on a Bengals fan site cost them a #3 WR? stupid people that continue to talk trash about Henry will ultimately run him out of cincy...If Henry is thin-skinned enough that he would leave a team because of a fan forum... he's in the wrong profession.Secondly... if Henry thinks he's going to get a pay-day from any team other than the Bengals, he's dreaming. Up to this point, the only headlines he's been getting have been involving jail-time and court cases. In fact... the only time I can remember the national media talking about Henry in any fashion related to football was on the play he quit on against Baltimore resulting in a late Palmer INT. That's what teams are looking for. There isn't a team in the NFL that would pay him #2 money... let alone #1. So if all he's going to be is a #3... why not do it here.It is my belief that Henry will be doing one of two things for the next several years. 1) playing WR for the Bengals; or 2) serving a prison sentence.He's not going to leave the team that has given him so many chances, and he's not going to leave the QB that is making him look so good. The only reason he will leave the Bengals is if he is forced to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 See what happens when the defense pulls their own weight, and does their job? Today I'm the biggest "horn tooter" the Bengals defense has! GREAT JOB CINCY "D!" Watching them punish the Ravens rushing attack all night long made my d**k hard!

NO its because they get open, Carson will throw to whoever is open,Chad and TJ are only 2 players, no matter how good they are...Henry should be producing a whole lot more there are plenty of balls to go around, if you get yourself open because we dont use our TE in the passing game.
