HoosierCat Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Bucs D giving Chicago all they can handle today.Can the Bengals go 3-0 on the road in this stretch? Tough task but doable! Quote
Stripes Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 I don't think there is any doubt at all which team should win. And for all the Bengals' problems, beating teams they're supposed to beat has not been one of them. Let's keep it that way. Quote
volcom69 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Tampa will be tough, winnable of course but tough Quote
Stripes Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 We should remember, the 2-9 Bucs are still in the thick of the division race and will be playing hard. Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 We should remember, the 2-9 Bucs are still in the thick of the division race and will be playing hard. Yeah they're just 2 games back of the first place Saints! (Hopefully 3 after tomorrow night.) Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 @CincyJungle: Not saying that it's going to happen, but if the Dolphins beat the Broncos, the Bengals slide into second position in the AFC.Dolphins up 7-3 in the first. Quote
gregcook68 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Losing Smith wasn't good news! Like I said, in the Texan thread, don't look past Tampa to Pittsburgh! Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 Losing Smith wasn't good news! :angry:/> No but Newhouse had a better day than his last two. So there's that. And Lap seemed pretty good with the idea of Boling at RT. I'll reserve judgment on that but they have options. One way or another though it looks like The Hawk will be active going forward. Quote

TJJackson Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 The Hawk is Tanner "13 Reps" Hawkinson, the physically weakest lineman in the entire NFLApparently his technique and footwork is pretty good.....must be to compensate for this glaring flawI am worried that Collins and Johnson will be able to tip the Buccaneers to the Bengals entire offensive (Collins) and defensive (Johnson) repetoire, same as Babyhawk did for the BrownsOuthouse did do quite a bit better today, I must admit Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 The Hawk is Tanner "13 Reps" Hawkinson, the physically weakest lineman in the entire NFLYeah but if he ran into Reggie Myles in the cafeteria he'd still kick his ass. Quote

volcom69 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Didn't Newhouse play last week right? He didn't give up a sack? I like Smith but there have been games this year where he has been horrible, the Colts game comes to mind. Time to bench Smith if he is not 100% because he is awful if he is not. A heathy Newhouse is a better option then a gimpy Smith. I did like the unbalanced line look today. Lap said he likes Boiling at RT because he is athletic. Quote

HoosierCat Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 Yup. :)/>Miami falling apart now...ETA as soon as I say that they recover a fumbled punt return. Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Posted November 24, 2014 Back to the Bucs: looks like they will be without their starting FB for the rest of the way:/>http://espn.go.com/blog/tampa-bay-buccaneers/post/_/id/7553/jorvorskie-lanes-injury-serious Quote
TJJackson Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Would really, really like to see Burfict back this week Quote
HoosierCat Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Posted November 24, 2014 Would really, really like to see Burfict back this weekIf he's healthy then by all means, play him. But if he's anything less than 100%, I say sit him. The Bengals shouldn't need him to stymie the Bucs' offense. Tampa's O is a dumpster fire. The o-line is trash, they can't run the ball at all and McCown is throwing picks faster than touchdowns. They've only scored more than 17 points in a game 3 times this season. As long as Cincy's D doesn't come down with another case of the "arrives" they should be able to hold the Bucs in check easily.However, the Tampa Bay defense looks like it's starting to come around. In the six games before their week 7 bye they were giving up an average of 34 points a game. In the five games after the bye they are only giving up 19. And they have been tough against the run: only three teams have rushed for more than 100 yards (and two of those were just barely, 102 and 113). So it's likely that the Bengals are going to have to throw. And you know MJ will be amped for the game.At a guess, I'm expecting a rerun of the Houston game: a low-scoring slugfest that will come down to the last drive. A wildcard could be special teams. The Bucs had some bad punts against Chicago, though the weather was crappy. Quote

HoosierCat Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Posted November 25, 2014 Last week all over again. Saints stuffed on fourth and goal. Dumb call, had no chance from the start. Sean Payton has lost it. Quote
