gregcook68 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 What I found insteresting is how close the Bengals are to the Seahawks from a defensive personnel perspective.Another couple of impact DBs and an edge rusher and we are in the same boat...or better.Clinton-Dix in the First, the OLB from BYU in the second (Kyle Van Noy) and grab Stanley Jean Baptist from Nebraska in the third.Pair these guys with Nelson, iLoka, Hall, Newman, Jones, Kirkpatrick and the LBing corp of Lamur, Harrison, Maualuga, Burfict, and Rey? With our DLine....even if MJ leaves....watch out.SF finished 5th on defense and look what they did to the Seahawks. Actually, SF, probably should have won the game.Bengals finished 3rd on defense!

jjakq27 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 1391437978' post='411339']Denver did make the record books last night! Third worst SB blowout, and the only team to lose 5 SBs!With that loss PM has the most playoff losses all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Peyton's offense is hard to watch. It's like 30 seconds of him shouting at the line of scrimmage, guys moving all over the place as he adjusts the formation and scheme, and then he throws a 2 yard out or a screen. It's kind of like, "all that just for that?" They are playing a matchup game trying to find numbers, and it works most of the time, much to my consternation. I just don't like watching it, it is a dull offense. Record setting in regards to TDs, I admit, just not exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I wish we had a boring ass offense to take us to the Super Bowl.Well, just not the whole getting blown out part once getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passepartout Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 What happened to the Broncos? Seattle had all of their weapons. And no, it is not all Peyton Manning's fault, the team was very soft while the Seahawks played hard and earned it. They wanted it more than the Broncos it seemed!It was beyond a snooze!

ArmyBengal Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm in line with Hoosier on this one in thinking it reminded me of the Bengals.The o-line did absolutely NOTHING to help Manning, which resulted in turnovers.Again, while Dalton shares part of the blame, he was hardly alone in that abortion of a game.Neither was Manning.

Their offense carried them through the season, defense wins playoff games and SBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 One of the things I keep hearing is that the Broncos "Just didn't show up". I couldn't disagree more. They showed up, but got their butts handed to them by a team that was just better than them.Credit goes to Seattle, it wasn't like the Broncos handed them that game by ANY stretch.

I do believe, that even if Broncos had the number 2 defense, the Seahawks would have scored at least 9 points against them and still won.

membengal Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Another way the Broncos reminded me of the Bengals in that game... no wrinkles put in and no fire. The Broncos pretty much did what they have done all year, and were surprised that the Seahawks were completely ready for it. And on the fire thing, Denver reacted badly to another team punching them in the mouth and shrank from the physicality. All of that looks REAL familiar to me in terms of how Cincy plays in big games.

All of that looks REAL familiar to me in terms of how Cincy plays in big games.All of the above even with a great QB! Manning threw the ball 49 times with 1 TD and 2 INTs. (Sound familiar)With a running game and a stout defense Wilson only threw 25 passes for 206 yards and 2 TDs, yet the 'team' scored 43 points!!Just confirms for me how important a stout defense is and how the offensive scheme needs to change for Cincinnati.

Just watching a team show up for a big televised game, and appear to be completely unprepared - that looked like the Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
