membengal Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Bengals D continues to be a late-season eyebrow raiser. Wonder how much of it they can carry into next year? KC's offense had been frisky at the end of the year (31 on Miami just last week). This is rather stunning. With that 3 and out, looks like 6 straight shut-out quarters for the D and KC only has about 50 yards of total offense this half. Nice job to Zimmer keeping their attention as the year has played out. Quote
HoosierCat Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Roethlisberger carted off field... Quote
whizzo Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Gaychick you gosh-darned... how hard can it be to hand the ball to the QB without dropping it? Quote
membengal Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Roethlisberger carted off field...I'm still puzzling over why he was playing... Quote
kingwilly Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Roethlisberger carted off field......wow. F pittsburgh. Quote

membengal Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 One part of the D playing well is that the O has been assisting by going on long ball control drives that eat clock and win field position. Lack of turnovers a huge help too. Quote
UK Bengal Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 apparently according to lap bengals have entered into negotations with crocker and benson Quote
GregCook Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 i agree on Benson. sign him to a 3-4 year deal, and make sure he stays off the booze.We might have a shot at signing him. After all he got his big yardage against really bad teams like Clowns and KC so other teams might not be impressed to out bid us. Then again, Cedric can see our Oline is crap and why run behind it? More likely he'll use the Bengals to get a better deal elsewhere. Quote
whizzo Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 i like our D today... Ndukwe attacking that screen, Hall showing some feistiness with Bowe, Crocker covering Gonzalez and busting up that second screen... very nice. Quote

HoTbOy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Just got home @ the half, I was reading some of the comments about the D, I do like what i am seeing from the D, just need to apply pressure more consistently and with having to blitz CB's or LB's all the time, but I do like how aggresive they are playing maybe they can get another shutout...

BengalszoneBilly Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Posted December 28, 2008 On a side note Detroit is really giving Green Bay a game. 14-14 late in the 3rd!I really would like to see them get at least one win. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Posted December 28, 2008 Maybe this Zimmer thing holds more promise than we thought? I'd give my left nut for a top ten defense! Quote
Pidge Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 With even a semi-decent pass rushing threat our D would be more than good enough to keep us in the majority of games.This winning games business is rather pleasant. Quote
membengal Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Cleveland getting stomped, Roeth carted off notwithstanding. If it all holds up, we finish in 3rd. I guess I would really like that. A lot. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Posted December 28, 2008 This winning games business is rather pleasant.So is having you guys rooting with us from across the pond. Quote
HoTbOy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 The way CBenson runs reminds me of a young CDillon... Quote
kingwilly Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 From the production being recorded, it appears Roland, Livings and Collins are holding their own. Quote
membengal Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 If the Bengals hold on, they finish up 4-3-1 after the 0-8 start. Classic dead cat bounce. Still glad to see the wins over the losses, no matter how you stack it up. Quote
HoTbOy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 Maybe this Zimmer thing holds more promise than we thought? I'd give my left nut for a top ten defense!I'll donate the other 1... Quote
