Kazkal Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 And with more than 12,000 tickets still remaining, it won't be the loudest crowd the Bengals will face this season either.Get a 10-14 point lead and you won't hear anything but crickets in San Diego.That would make this Bengal fan very happy !!!Wish i could drive down since tickets should be cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 This week is a 4:25 (ET) kickoff since the game is on the westcoast for those not aware. I like the afternoon games.Colts playing at LionsSteelers playing at Ravens.Here's to hoping for the trifecta of playoff goodness this weekend:Bengals, Lions, and Ravens all win !!!

ArmyBengal Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 A couple of things I saw are:1. Sanu is now the #2 WR and will be getting his first start there this weekend.2. I don't know if this is Gruden saying it was him or not, but this was amusing to me:"He's everything we hoped he would be. It just took us too long a time to figure it out I guess."I know they thought they had their guy in either Tate or Binns, but they really have to do a better job determining what they have on their roster. I'm sorry, but saying the guy who many thought could go in the bottom of the first, "practices poorly" and use that as a reason to keep him off the field in favor of either Tate or Binns is laughable.I guess better late than never, but d*mn.

"You practice as you play" was a coaching cliche, though I'm not sure how much it is anymore among the younger generation of NFL coaches. Marvin still goes by it, for sure. But there are some guys who just don't look good in practice for whatever reason, but come game time, it's on. As I understand it, the thing about Sanu was that he was not showing the ability to separate in practice, but his ability to do that is based on him being physical with the defender (versus being fast or quick) and that's not the way teams practice anymore.They also clearly liked Armon "he plays Larry Fitgerald in practice" Binns. Coaches have a tendency to fall in love/overvalue their own guys, and that's not a flaw limited to Cincy. But they do it to an extent (especially Paul Alexander) that drives me batty sometimes. Anyhow, water under the bridge now. More Sanu, more Jones, less Binns, cut Tate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walzav29 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I think this team will guard against the let down. Evident by AJ Greens, "We lost to freakin Cleveland". They just play like they've been playing and it should be a 10 pt win.Ridiculous side note.The Bengals Super Bowl seasons always have a victory over San Diego!

ArmyBengal Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Sorry Hoosier, hope that works it's way out of your system sooner rather than later.I was only saying that if Marvin says Sanu didn't get a shot in games because he didn't practice well, then Maualuga must be one hell of a practice guy. The first 9 weeks of the season were hell for him on the field and if that theory of you play like you practice were true, then you would guess Maualuga practiced like a schoolgirl. Which is it ??

Which is it ??I think that in Rey's case it's the second factor I mentioned, coaches' tendencies to fall in love with and overvalue their guys. I remember the first pics of Lewis with Maualuga after the draft; Marvin was wearing a 10,000-watt smile. I think Marvin calling him out (along with Dalton) a couple weeks back is a sign that finally the bloom is off the rose, but who knows? Even before this year Maualuga was a disappointment. I remember people saying here that they were tired of the list of excuses (injuries, booze, out of position, etc) and just wanted to see some good play. Despite that his place in the starting lineup was never a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spor_tees Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I was just thinking about something that no one has brought up. With as many veteran free agents the Bengals could lose after this year, Rey among them, it could put the Bengals in line of getting a compensator pick or two.
