Kazkal Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Wow....I was pulling my hair out at times but they played good when they had to and came out with a win...Great to have come from behind victory against the steelers at home Great to see this team find ways to win...PS,Bengals beat the steelers Seahawks Lose TJ has another sub 50 yard game PERFECT DAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidge Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 The D had an iffy day for sure but played much better after the half, no doubt Zimmer had a couple of salient points to share with them in the interval. They got a couple of good stops just when needed.The offense. A lot of talent there too, and a good job there is, or there drive by drive attempts at harakiri might be successful more often.Also, the O-line stepped up when needed too so well done to those guys.Finally - f**k Brad St. Louis.

Kazkal Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Marvin was getting some hate on .com forums about punting it last week and letting defense do their job,Well Steelers showed why Marvin made the right choice when they went for it 4th n 4..

volcom69 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 This could be the game where the o-line finally gets it, and starts to gel and turn the corner, so they would get my game ball, for giving Palmer the chance to find his recievers.

Really good play there at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 [espn power rankings] Clearly the Steelers are suffering from a Super Bowl hangover, the loss of Troy Polamalu, lots of bad calls from the officials, bad fields, unlucky bounces, poor locker room sanitation, gremlins, whatever, but they will bounce back. Rank: 10.The Bengals streak of luck continues. We move them from 22 to 21 this week. [/espn power rankings] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 An absolute cocoon over Palmer the entire 4th quarter. And don't forget the blocks that sprung Benson to pull them within 5. I will have more later, but, for now, am still processing that on a day when the Bengals played pretty damn s**tty for three quarters, they had hte professionalism not to panic and to find a way to win. They f**king OWNED pittsburgh in the 4th quarter. Absolute domination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kedgey Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 My thoughts are wow!Putting it more saliently being 13-0 down with zero offense previous marv teams would have folded but this team stuck at it. That was the kind of win that good teams pull out of the hat.Kudos to the O-line, Palmer, Caldwell and Leornard for the balls shown on the final drive. Beating two teams that were considered serious contenders can only be good for this teams confidence following that soul destroying loss to Denver.Lets hope next week we make it a little easier on our old hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlainThePain Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Remember the debate on just about every Bengals forum on whether to go Dede or Leonard?I kept saying you go Leonard because he will help you convert a lot more third downs with his blocking, catching, and short-yardage running ability.

BlainThePain Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'd just like to point out that Benson average 4.75 yards a carry against a very good Steelers D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 The plays by Caldwell and Leonard on that last drive were unreal. Caldwell made a catch on 2nd and 10 when the Bengals were out around the 30 that was unreal. Ball was a bullet and behind him. And Leonard's professionalism and sense of space to lunge forward and now let his knee touch short of the marker on that 4th and 10 may have been the headiest thing I have seen from this team in about five years.

cincy9275 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 impressive game, this team is stepping up and making the plays that count. the line was great in the 4th, palmer caldwell leonard you name them and they made plays. when the games on the line this team start playing at their best and 3 weeks in a row we made the plays (besides the denver fluke) to win the game when we had to. very impressive GO BENGALS!

Not a great day for him for three quarters, but he did take advantage of a Steelers D that was apparently softned up in the 4th by staying with the running game.

That catch by leonard brought me to my knees seeing him start to fall 2 yards short and lunge for 3-4 more yards and pick up the first down was HUGE!Then Carsons Trust on giving it to Leonard expecting him to get the 1st down even though it was 4th down... God I <3 this team only if we had a real tight end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 This was the first game I was able to watch live this year, and man oh man, what a gameMany, many things I loved, in no particular order - except maybe I give the first item the edgeI love the heart the Bengals showed. There was no rolling over and giving up to the big bad unbeatable steelersLove the fake punt, and particularly that the ball went to Chris Crocker, who is the personification of this new defenseOdom. Taking double and triple teams and on at least one occasion, beating them. When was the last time the Steelers had to adjust one one of our defenders?Love the not losing heart when at the end, Steeler after Steeler committed flagrant but uncalled pass interference and we simply went back and tried again. Did I mention I loved the heart?Remember when Jonathan Joseph defended passes well but could not intercept a ball if his life depended on it? So much for that little problem.I love the fact that they did not give up on the runI love the trade of a DLineman who we would have cut a month or more ago for Brian Leonard.I love Ray Maulauga coming back in the game. T O U G H N E S SI love the push of the new D-LineI love seeing some of the starters playing special teams. It used to be only backups played special teams - starters were "too valuable" to play SR. Now ST success is seen as part of the overall team win. That new attitude is ON THE MONEYI love the OLine play, which was better than anyone could have expected against a very good pass-rushing team. I love me some Kyle Cook. You never once heard his name. No more turnstile.I gotta love Dan Coats. Made a key catch, drew a key pass interference penalty from the Steelers. Didn't fumble, blocked well.I love that #11 finally earned some of that dump truck full of cash we backed up to his garageI love that we milked the clock down on the last drive in addition to punching it in. 2 seconds for Big ben? Love it.ohand I ab-so-freakin-lootly LOVE beating those freakin Steelers(there were a few things I hated too - without naming names, a very fat FB and a very old long snapper - but forget that - we freakin beat the freakin Steelers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 First, I'd simply like to say, it's going to be a good week at work with my Commander and First Sergeant being Steeler fans.Second, what a great game. THey really showed some heart where other Bengal teams would have basically packed it in after being down 13-0 early.Lastly, I want to apologize to everyone...You see, I was out with Mrs. ArmyBengal early in the day and didn't have my jersey on. I came home right at kickoff and was so amped up about the game, I simply sat down without thinking about putting on my jersey. I sat through the whole first half in disgust and jerseyless. At halftime, I realized the error in my ways and retrieved my orange Rey Maualuga jersey. The rest is history.It won't happen again !!!
