Preseason Week 1: Lions v. Bengals Game Thread

[volcom69]

Bruce in that sucks

[volcom69]

Yea Bruce awsome!! Not.... Dalton needs the work wish he was still in.

[Stripes]

Gradkowski sucks. He's never not sucked.

[BengalPimp]

Tale of the tape so far:

QB Rating:

Matthew Stafford__________148.5

Shaun Hill________________95.8

Drew Stanton______________91.1

Andy Dalton ______________54.6

dalton needs to play better defense it seems.

No, just needs to play better.......for those saying "Dalton started settling down" sure, against the Lions 2nd and 3rd String Defense. If Dalton looks that bad against the Lions backups, wait until Pitt or B-More

I also think those guys he shown also has played in the NFL before, and even have started NFL games, how many did Dalton start??? Just saying it was a rough outing for him and thats fine, but how about the o-line block alittle better for him??? Let the kid work out his problems and see what hes got before you throw him under the bus

[BengalPimp]

Gradkowski sucks. He's never not sucked.

Would like to see Gradkowski throwing to Simpson, AJ Green, Gresham, and NOT guys like Chase Coffman, and John Standeford

Dalton had the 1st string, Gradkowski doesn't

He's playing with backups and against backups. Dalton definitely sucks too at this point, but he's never taken a regular season snap.

We all knew the O-Line was sh*t, it was sh*t last year, but everybody still blamed Carson for everything (no wonder he wanted out).....Dalton should get preferential treatment? Why? Because he's a Rookie? Nope

[BengalPimp]

Gradkowski has coverted on a couple of 3rd downs this drive......just saying

[Stripes]

I know I'm excited about a long field goal attempt.

Or a failed 4th down attempt, even better.

[BengalPimp]

Bravo to Paul Alexander, another Marvelous job with your O-Line

[Horsemen]

This is gonna be a LOOOOOOONG year.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Either the Lions are very good, or the Bengals are very bad.

I'm going with the latter.

Earlier this week I did a post for CJ about how new QBs over the last decade did in their first preseason game.

Palmer was 3-8-74-0-1

Frerotte was 6-10-54-0-1

Kitna was 8-18-65-0-0

Dalton tonight 11-15-69-0-1

In other words, par for the noob course.

I did read this, and if Dalton is going to be good then next week he should start getting better. He should continue to grow with this offense, and considering the lockout im not giving up on him. However this o-line needs to get better, if they get better i can see Dalton completeing passes, and getting comfortable.

[Horsemen]

I hope the next guy Marvin talks Mikey into showing the door to is Alexander, well, Alexander and Jay Hayes. Marvin needs to stop letting his friendship get in the way, Hayes is bad.

[BengalszoneBilly]

31-3. Against the Lions. Pathetic!

[volcom69]

Well Zimmers defense is pathetic. What the heck happened to that defense that Zimmer had in 09, and dont give me because Jjoe left, because he struggled last year also. Its almost like nobody is on the same page, they are not playing physical, and there pass rush is just horrible. If they could fix there defense, i think that would help out some. Come on Zim fix it

[bwillycuse]

KC has 80 yards of offense in 38 minutes

i agree- but bengals sat 18 players due to injury for this game as well

I know, but still something just didnt seem right out there, whatever its the 1st preseason game ill see what happens after next week.

There should be alot on tape for the bengals to work with now, and they need alot of work.

In that same game, i was hoping the bengals would have looked at getting Josh Johnson from the bucs, who i think looks pretty good right now.

continued improvement

all we can hope for - lets see how good a coach marvin and zimmer are

[Stripes]

in case you thought you'd seen your last Palmer interception

[volcom69]

Still think Dalton was the best QB out there tonight, none of these QBs stood out at all. So still think Dalton should start next week, and let him improve and learn from his mistakes.
