HoosierCat Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Bengals are 2-0 against the NFC East this season. Now they play the Pokes and the Iggles over the course of five days. Cowboys fans don't seem too optimistic:/>http://cowboyszone.com/forums/dallascowboys.php?t=248389 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingwilly Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 ...not an optimistic bunch, eh?I think this game will be similar to the Redskins game. Cowboys can score in bunches, have a depleted D, and are prone to sacks/mistake. Typcial NFC East ball.Bengals jump ou fast, harrass Romo all day and win 27-17.

ArmyBengal Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Playing at home to a sell out crowd with the season on the line.If they don't come to play, there's no one to blame.I think they continue the streak however.The stadium needs to come alive and make it loud for Romo. I want to see them continue running the ball and getting Jones and Hawkins involved in the passing game. I want to make sure Dez Bryant doesn't get a chance to do anything. Best way to do that ?? Pressure Romo. Everyone knows he sucks when there is pressure in his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think it sold out a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think it sold out a couple weeks ago.It did. No doubt due to all of the lame Cowgirls "fans" in the area. Being on national TV every week, no matter how bad or mediocre they usually are, never hurts either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spor_tees Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Whitten gets 75+ yards and a TD, Murray runs wild, and Romo turns the ball over just enough times to allow the Bengals to win 27-24 Bengals.I still get pissed because the Bengals can not cover a TE, or cover a good RB our of the backfield. I say I break at least one remote because Zimmer can't f**king figure out a scheme to cover TE's and RBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Anybody ever think they should have signed a guy like Deion Branch to help out at WR? Seems like many don't have faith since Sanu went down? Just a thought on a vet guy who could help out these young guys on a playoff stretch. I guess the coches have faith in the guys that are here. More Binns less Tate please!Still think they should spread Charles or Gresham wide on some plays, especially in the red zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand Sanu is gone, but Andy was missing guys wide open yesterday in the endzone, because it seems like all they want is AJ catching TDs. Find a way to get the bodies open down there.How about more screen passes to Leonard? Yesterday agaisnt the blitz, which the Chargers were blitzing alot use the screen. This week agaisnt a pretty good Cowboys rush, use the screen more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles may see more of it as well.This still isn't a team that consistently utilizes the TE. They are getting better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hobs on potential roster moves this week:This figures to be a week of moves for the 7-5 Bengals as they ready for another must afternoon Sunday against the 6-6 Cowboys (1 p.m.-Cincinnati's Channel 19) at Paul Brown Stadium.Backup running back Cedric Peerman injured his ankle during Sunday's win in San Diego and head coach Marvin Lewis said Monday his status is unclear. But with the club down to two healthy backs in BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Brian Leonard, look for the Bengals to hold some tryouts on Tuesday for veterans on the street. Another option is signing rookie Daniel Herron from the practice squad.The Bengals will have an open roster spot when they put rookie wide receiver Mohamed Sanu on injured reserve following Monday's surgery to repair his broken fifth metatarsal in his foot.They could also activate center Kyle Cook from the injured reserve-recall list this week, but they would also have to make room for him. The Bengals won't keep three centers and since rookie Trevor Robinson has started the last five games, they have to figure out what to do with veteran Jeff Faine.

HoosierCat Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 PFF grades for the Chargers game, per one of the commenters at CJ./>http://www.cincyjungle.com/2012/12/3/3724972/profootballfocus-com-grades-for-week-13-bengals-vs-chargersOffenseBest: Andre Smith (+7.0; +4.1 run block)Other good grades: Clint Boling (+2.7), A.J. Green (+1.7), Dennis Roland (+1.7), Andrew Whitworth (+1.0), Trevor Robinson (+0.9)Worst: Marvin Jones (-1.8)Other bad grades: Andrew Hawkins (-1.1), Brian Leonard (-0.9), Andy Dalton (-0.9)DefenseBest: Carlos Dunlap (+5.1; +4.3 pass rush)Other good grades: Geno Atkins (+4.4), Reggie Nelson (+1.4), Domata Peko (+1.4), Wallace Gilberry (+1.1), Rey Maualuga (+0.8; +1.2 run defense)Worst: Vontaze Burfict (-2.3; -1.4 pass coverage)Other bad grades: Manny Lawson (-0.9)Other performances of note:-Make no mistake, Carlos Dunlap has had a very good year (+13.2 overall, 2nd highest on the defense), but his pass rush grades - aside from this game (+4.3) and his season debut in week 3 (+4.8) - have mostly disappointed (-5.3 otherwise). Last year, his pass rushing ability had the PFF folks slobbering: he finished 5th among 4-3 DE's in their Pass Rushing Productivity stat and had an overall pass rush grade of +19.2. Has the beast been reawakened?-Same old, same old: Again, the linebackers struggle in pass coverage (Maualuga: -1.2, Burfict: -1.4, Lawson: -0.9).-Is Zeitler tiring? He still hasn't graded less than 0.0 since the first week of the season, but his last 3 games (+0.4, +0.3, +0.2) have not met the standard he set earlier in the year (>1.0 in weeks 3-10).-Burfict hasn't grade positively overall in any of the last 6 games for a cumulative grade of -8.4.~Okay, that's enough 'negatives'~-Since week 5, Andre Smith hasn't had a run block grade less than +0.6. His cumulative run block grade in that span is +9.6.-Before last week's game, the Bengals' highest team run block grade for a game was +2.8. The last two games: +6.0, +7.0.-I'm not entirely sure how meaningful it is to look at cumulative team grades, but I like what they have to say at the moment, so, FWIW:* Bengals: +137.6 overall (+55.9 offense, +45.8 defense, +39.2 special teams)* Ravens: +100.3 overall (+53.1 offense, -8.7 defense, +55.9 special teams)* Steelers: +39.1 overall (+25.6 offense, -2.7 defense, +16.2 special teams)* Browns: +26.0 overall (+0.2 offense, +22.1 defense, +3.7 special teams) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spor_tees Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 The same squad that travels from try out to try out, Steve Slaton, Ryan Grant, Joseph Addai, Thomas Jones, Chester Taylor, Lorenzo Booker. If I remember correctly, Booker has already had one try out with the Bengals this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Bengals put Sanu on IR, and bring Boom Herron from the practice squad. I hate the move, didnt like Herron in the preseason. On a team that trying for the playoffs why not sign a vet. They had a couple guys in today, who I thought would be better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Maybe he feels he was in the right, in the grand scheme of things, and thinks he can get it reduced.Good for Dunlap.
