Times like these I like Dalton.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Hawkins is money. He is our Sproles.

I think you're right!

[HoosierCat]

Sweet! Nuge hits from 49 yards! 16-3 Bengals.

[BengalszoneBilly]

The Nuge is AWESOME!

[jonf45uk]

nice quick drive, good work fellas

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Could be the best 2nd qtr they've played all year

Nice job 16-3 at half, Benson 13 for 92, no turnovers - no complaints

[kingwilly]

Bengals playing like they want it.

Maybe the losses in the past few weeks will payoff as the reg season draws down? Kinda like the 05 Steelers.

[HoosierCat]

Halfway home. Bengals need to come out in the second half and put the hammer down.

could well be, good play on both sides of the ball. Keep it up!!

The Nuge is AWESOME!

Ya No offense to our former Kicker,But Nuge seems like money games on the line good kickoffs and local boy.

Let Benson take over this game! Period.

[kingwilly]

Very solid game so far. TJ Yates is struggling... Gotta find a way to get Owen Daniels in check.

Only ahead by 13, so I would expect Houston to run the ball more stating the second half. If I have Tate and Foster, I run the ball quite a bit.

I'd settle for any Cincy RB to establish a ground and pound theme.

Yep! I'll go with the one who has 92 yards in the first half.

Old Bengals: Let the Texans back in this game and win it.

Current Bengals: ????

[TJJackson]

Very impressive to tack on that extra 3 at the end of the half - good teams do that - and Marvin helped by calling that timeout

[HoosierCat]

And excatly what we didn't need happens. You're welcome, Houston.

[kingwilly]

crap. Didn't see who blew the blocking.

[HoosierCat]

Wide open on the goal line. Pathetic. Bengals let Houston right back in. 16-10 Bengals.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Calm down. Give Andy a shot here.

[kevnz]

Calm down. Give Andy a shot here.

No doubt, it's gonna happen, Houston is a good team, we are a young team that has to learn how to play with a lead.

[semiotter]

Not the best way to start the second half. But they are still ahead.

[kingwilly]

Bernard Scott runs that back... No Tate. WooHooo!!!!

[kingwilly]

Just not getting the offense going. Where is the west coast offense? Seems that playing with a lead is the perfect time to implement it fully.
