Bengals @ Eagles

[Spor_tees]

Its hard to do, but Andre Smith is living down to my expectations tonight.

[HoosierCat]

bottom line, the bengals look like a team that's happy to go 7-9 and call it a season in two weeks. no fire, no urgency, no grrr and sh*t. buncha guys watching the clock tick down to quittin time.

[Spor_tees]

Hey Andy, that's when you step up into the pocket.

[cincyhokie]

Pittsburgh is going to f**king eat our lunch even if we beat the s**tty Eagles.

This team isn't ready.

[Spor_tees]

Life is like a box of chocolates, and the Eagles ate everyone of them and slammed the empty box in our this teams face.

[volcom69]

Done with Marvin his guys are so not ready just tired of it! Penalties galore, guys can't block tired of it now

[volcom69]

Oh and Andy has no pocket presence at all

[Spor_tees]

This team would play better if you gave them a little more faith.

[combatbengal]

This is pitiful and I'm going to say it again. Why is Tate on this team?

[cincyhokie]

None. All he should do in the offseason is practice moving around in the pocket.

[Stripes]

I'm so glad I set my sleep schedule to account for this game tonight. Really worth going to sleep at 6pm.

At some point you have to ask about the guys. Do they not want it? They know they have a shot at the postseason and they are playing like their goal is to maximize their offseason time. No coach can motivate guys unless they are willing to be motivated.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Don't worry men. I'm sure Marvin has adjustments ready for the 2nd half that will bring the team roaring back into the lead!

[Spor_tees]

One week Dalton takes off running and the drop of a hat, this week Dalton would step up in the pocket if Jeff Garcia was standing behind him with a footlong chili dog.

I heard Marvin already bought plane tickets for the Bahamas in January?

I don't think it's a motivation issue. They're playing with energy (too much at points, see: three offsides penalties).

the whole team is actually on travelocity right now booking the trip. they would have done it at pbs but the wi-fi is free in philly...

I don't think that's energy, but rather a lack of discipline.

[volcom69]

Yea Hoosier I agree the players are not into the game thus far. Where's the pass rush, where is the o-line did they watch any film at all. I'm at the game and I'm hiding myself in my cost because I'm so embarrassed right now lol

[Spor_tees]

I heard they waited until they got to Philly because they didn't want Mike Brown to know where they were going. If he did, he would try to make into a fantasy camp for fans and make a buck or two off of it.

[Stripes]

I can certainly buy a lack of discipline. I just don't equate that problem with a lack of motivation. They're playing like crap either way.

[HoosierCat]

and to start the second half, tate trips over his own two feet. lol

[cincyhokie]

Reality check here.

After seeing how the Bengals react to good defenses this season, does anyone think that this team is going to go into Pittsburgh against LeBeau and win?

[HoosierCat]

pathetic
