Scottishbengal Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Oooooh it's Sunday - that means porrige for breakfast, songs at church, freshly caught haggis for lunch, malt whisky by the half-pint and FOOTBALL !!Cincy travel to Jacksonville for what could be a weather-influenced game with an "ominous weather report coming out of Jacksonville".Injuries for the teams are:-JACKSONVILLE:Cox (CB), Owens (RB) are Out.Miller (TE) Osgood (WR) and Spitz (G) are DoubtfulGreene (S) and Kampman (DE) are QuestionableAlualu (DT) Monroe (T) are ProbableCINCINNATI:The Bengals have no players listed as "Out"Jennings (CB) Moch (LB) are DoubtfulMiles (S) is QuestionableCrocker (S) Mays (S) Smith (T) Whitworth (T) are ProbableOf course this will be seen as the battle of the rookie QB's and so far this season Dalton appears to have settled into the NFL far better than Gabbert:-GABBERT: 33 of 69 for 387 yds and 2 TDs (an additional 43 snaps taken by McCown)DALTON: 72 of 124 for 868 yds and 4 TDs (an additonal 12 snaps taken by Gradowski)Bengals have the edge in many match-up areas:-Total yds gained per game Bengals 340 - 264 JaguarsTotal yds allowed per game Bengals 275 - 335 JaguarsPassing yds gained per game Bengals 225 - 137 JaguarsPassing yds allowed per game Bengals 188 -228 JaguarsRushing yds gained per game Bengals 115 - 126 JaguarsRushing yds allowed per game Bengals 86 - 107 JaguarsPoints per game scored Bengals 20 - 10 JaguarsPoints per game allowed Bengals 18 - 21 Jaguars3rd down conversions completed Bengals 28% - 32% Jaguars3rd down conversions allowed Bengals 32% - 37% JaguarsOn the face of it the Bengals have the edge, but with home field advantage and possibly some dodgy weather, plus historically rookie QBs look like Superbowl winners against Cincinnati, this could be a fairly even game.I would expect the Bengals to win both the passing game and the running game contest to out-yard the Jags in both areas. I can see the Bengals improving on their 3rd down efficiency.I can see the Bengals D continuing to limit the opposition.I can see the Bengals winning 24-13Enjoy !WHO-DEY Quote
Pidge Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Plenty of scissoring action.Without wishing to offend the Mocker Gods, I think we'll be 3-2 by the end of play today. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 From what I'm hearing the weather there is going to be on the nasty side. Quote
jonahdsage Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Per Reedy:#bengals inactives CB Jennings, LB Moch, S Sands, OG Boling, OT Collins, TE Cochart, WR WhalenDoes this mean we might get a little Taylor Mays today?? Maybe on kicks. Looking forward to a great day today — mostly to see if our D can lock Gabbert down. Here's to another week at #1 Quote
Spor_tees Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Per Reedy:#bengals inactives CB Jennings, LB Moch, S Sands, OG Boling, OT Collins, TE Cochart, WR WhalenDoes this mean we might get a little Taylor Mays today?? Maybe on kicks. Looking forward to a great day today — mostly to see if our D can lock Gabbert down. Here's to another week at #1 Jennings not being active makes me wonder if it is because of his health, or because they don't fear Gabbert. Cochart being inactive probably means less double TE sets for running because it only leaves Lee and Gresham on the active roster. As we know Gresham isn't a great run blocker. Poor Whalen thought he was going to get a chance to play with Shipley going down and now he can't even make the active roster. Quote
Spor_tees Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Inactives for the Jags:Jaguars – CB Derek Cox, RB Montell Owens, S Courtney Greene, OL Jason Spitz, DE Aaron Kampman, WR Kassim Osgood, TE Zach MillerGood no Kampman! Also no Zach Miller, which is good cause we know how hard it is for the Bengals to cover TEs, though they have been better this year. Quote
Scottishbengal Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Posted October 9, 2011 Forecast is for thundery rain - can't be any worse than in Charlotte last season and we managed to win that one !Keep with the ground game, look after the ball, and we be alright today baby! Quote
Stripes Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 I've prepared all of my best idiocy, for HoF's entertainment. Make Gabbert s**t himself, Bengals. Quote
