TJJackson Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I did not mean to come off callous - but the game will still be played, and an advantage is gained even tho I agree this is among the very least undesireable ways to gain an advantageEven before this event made the news, the Cowboys had made a necessary roster move, otherwise they'd have not had a NT at all to play tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Those "expert" picks are the kiss of death. Now I'm really concerned.Dalton and Romo are very similar, stats bear that out also. They both turn the ball over a lot, whoever does it less, wins, IMO. The Bengals' have an edge on defense as a whole and on the o-line, very similar everywhere else, including d-line (Bengals + on the DT's).No reason they shouldn't beat them if Dalton is up for it like last week, after he makes mistakes. His %'s and ratings are all up from last year outside of the INT's and batted-passes...when he quit doing that for 4 games prior to last week, they dominated everyone they played like I haven't seen since 2005 (1976 to be more exact).Dalton has to play well, or they don't win, it's always that way, he left a TD on the field last week (literally) and gave another one up, without those two bone head plays they don't even sweat that game out at the end. INT's happen, but he has already tied his total from last season. Frustrating to see a guy so talented beat himself too much.He isn't beating himself. The problem is personnel and scheme. It's not a coincidence that Bad Andy disappeared as soon as Sanu emerged, and then came back last week with Sanu gone. Absent Mohamed, they're back to relying mostly on the same three passing plays: the quick slant, usually to the Binns/Tate/No. 2 guy and Gresham, which is susceptible to pick-sixes; the deep crossing route, mostly to Green but they tried it once with Hawkins, generating my "going long to Frodo" crack; and the bomb to Green. This allows the D to ignore the middle of the field and put more guys in position to make plays.Sanu gave them the short crossing route they've been missing, and that opened everything up, since teams now had to defend the whole field. They tried running Jones across the middle, but the ball bounced off his hands for a pick. And how many times did Dalton drop back and then there was 15 yards of empty field over the middle with no one in it? If they could get BJGE or Gresham off a block Andy can dump it off and those are 10 yard pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Screen passes, and more screen passes! I don't understand why they don't use it more, especially to Leonard this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I agree the Cowboys will find something extra due to the tragedy, but the thought of facing a DT coming off the practice squad to start has to have Gruden licking his chops with how to game plan the running game.

Spor_tees Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Has anyone heard if they gave Cook the starting position or if Robinson still starts?Oh crap I forgot I had a melt down and said I wouldn't post here anymore.

Spor_tees Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 WTF, why do they consider it a big deal that the Giants lost to the Bengals? They keep making it sound as if the Bengals are a losing team! How f**king stupid, they even said the Giants lost to a losing Bengals team...last time I check the Bengals are 7-5? No?

volcom69 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 this game is going to be a tough one, i think the toughest test the bengals have faced in a couple weeks, with how explosive this offense can be. they better find a way to pressure Romo and hope he throws picks today. find a way to win, man it would feel so good to blow this team out, just win thats all that matters.
