HoosierCat Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Game may be blacked out in Buffalo. Per reports they are 7,500 tix short of a sellout. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Oddly enough, the last time the Bengals and Bills played was in Dalton's rookie season.He led the team to a come from behind win, driving his team downfield with under two minutes on the clock to set up the winning field goal.You'd think he wasn't capable of doing that, but damned if that game didn't really happen.He was the first Bengals QB to beat the Bills in over a 10 year span at that point.He used his legs to get out of trouble. Sorry I keep bringing it up, I just remember him at TCU, at the rose bowl running the ball, running the option. I just think there would be less sacks, if he could run out of trouble, or even more boot legs. Yes that was an awesome game, after that game I thought Dalton was a keeper.I couldn't remember any talk about Dalton's rushing ability, so I went back to look during his time at TCU.Year Att Yds Avg Lg TD's2007- 98 232 2.4 19 5 2008- 113 432 3.8 24 8 2009- 116 512 4.4 18 3 2010- 86 435 5.1 47 6 Quote
volcom69 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Is he fast like those other guys, no but I remember watching him escape from the pocket making moves with his to run or pass. I just often wondered why he stopped doing that here. I always thought it could help. He did it last week some which helped, and I'm hoping to see it a little more.I really think this team needs to get back to running the ball a lot more, no more 40-50 throwing in these games. Balenced offense always seems to be a winner for this team. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 From what I read, Dalton ran a 4.87 in the 40, so no he's not the fastest dude on earth, but last week showed that plays can be created for him to run for a 7-8 yard (if not more) gain. I would like to see them do more of that if for no other reason than to give the defense something else to consider.I agree with not wanting to see Dalton throw the ball 40+ times a game. Last week and that balance was great to see. Quote

HoosierCat Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Per Hobs, Hall back to practice today. No MJ tho. Oh, and in a complete and total surprise, Ghee not practicing again. Quote
volcom69 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Least MJ was active though doing stretches and riding bike lol. Hope he will be alright by Sunday. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Glad to see Hall back at it again.Like I mentioned last game, the DE depth is more comforting to me, but it will be nice to get MJ back.Who is this Ghee guy I keep hearing about ?? Quote
combatbengal Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 I am hoping that this is the game that the Bengals offense finally shows up to play. Love to see drive sustained and end with touchdowns. Love to see the ball spread around. Wanting to see the RB's getting some long runs.... Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Today's injury report per Reedy:DNP -- Ghee (thigh), M.Johnson (concussion); LIM: Boley/Hall (hamstring), Pollak (knee), A.Smith (shoulder)That last one is Andre. Quote
COB Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Ghee's thigh? Is there a part of that guy's body that hasn't shown up on the injury report? He's incredible. He needs to play to develop, I'm rooting for him, which at this point flies in the face of all reason and logic. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Ummmm, okay. I'm sure long-time Buffalo fans will really appreciate that... Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Buffalo got an extension until 1 tomorrow to try and sell out the game. Still 5,300 tix to go. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 10, 2013 Report Posted October 10, 2013 Per Hobs MJ still out today. Ghee back though. Can he make it to Sunday unhurt? Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 Looks like Ralph will eat the cost of any unsold tix so Buffalo fans can have three hours of televised misery as we kick their butts. />http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2013/10/bills-buy-up-remaining-tickets-to-dodge-blackout.html Quote

Scottishbengal Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 Oh dear - we're due to play in white jersey's in Buffalo on Sunday (and again at Detroit)... white vs Chicago = loss and white versus Cleveland = loss Quote
ArmyBengal Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 Oh dear - we're due to play in white jersey's in Buffalo on Sunday (and again at Detroit)... white vs Chicago = loss and white versus Cleveland = lossTime to reverse that trend against a team they should dominate. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 MJ back out practicing today per Reedy. Apparently everyone is working today, so it looks like the team is about as healthy as it's been all year. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 11, 2013 Report Posted October 11, 2013 Final injury report (mostly) from Reedy:?able: LB Boley/CB Hall (hamstring), CB Ghee (bad hair day), DE M.Johnson (concussion); Prob: OG Pollak (knee), OT A.Smith (shoulder) Quote
volcom69 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Posted October 12, 2013 Sounds like guys are pretty impressed with this Thad Lewis guy. I have no clue who he is besides that video posted, but I'm just hoping the Bengals play him better then they have other young QBs. Just win this game, win the games your supposed to win, no let up game! Quote
