Week 7: Falcons @ Bengals

[glasgowbengal]

Great way to finish, unlike first half LOL 

[TJJackson]

so we really and truly finally have a winning record this season

[TJJackson]

Fucking Browns failed to be of service to us

[TJJackson]

The lowly Panthers, who traded away their best offensive player recently and are in serious rebuild mode, just destroyed the Tom Brady team

Father Time may have finally got ahold of Mr Brady

I dont see him returning for another season

[TJJackson]

what is this

 

[TJJackson]

I cant find video of the Ossai sack

If you have a link, please share

[TJJackson]

this aint it, but watch the RDE on this play that is credited as a sack for Hubbard

yep, thats 58

[TJJackson]

I'm fairly certain that Dan Marino is known for far bigger and better things than being in an Ace Ventura movie, tho

Who Dey! 

[TJJackson]

thank you thank you thank you Joisey

[TJJackson]

Ive watched this several times now, and somehow it looks like the OLT just abandoned Ossai and tackled Carter (95) instead

It also looks like several frames of video is missing more or less at the moment of said abandonment, ie when the brief slow mo starts

I wish they had provided an unedited video, but better this than nothing at all

Ossai was very close in the other video to getting half sack credit on the Hubbard sack

They really should be rotating Ossai in more to keep Hendrickson fresh.  I know Hendrickson is a stud but Ossai is a very good pass rusher in his own right and I think a fresher Hendrickson is even more productive in fewer snaps

Just an amazing streak this defense is on in the 2nd half.

There it is. Burrow supernova again. it's just so beautiful.

Man, I love what Ted Karras has brought the team, on and off the field:

He’s just going to let everyone obsess over Allen and Mahomes and show up in the playoffs with a chip on his shoulder. Again.

[COB]

Our supernova just showed out.  I listened to the game (fishing, zeroed), loved hearing Lap and Hoard call a big win.  He talked a lot about Adeniji stepping in and getting the job done.  I’m looking forward to watching it tomorrow night.

Watching the Sunday night game now, odd to hear such a subdued Collinsworth.  I wonder where his normal exuberance went?

[COB]

Wait, milquetoast corporate shill Mike Tirico just said he was texting with Ben this week, then he and Collinsworth talked about how great Ben was.  Chris perked up. 

[membengal]

I mean. Just, holy wow

 

[Stripes]

Enjoy Lou Anarumo while we have him. I can’t imagine he gets through next offseason without head coaching interviews.

[membengal]

Hard to say - he's older in a league that likes young coaches now.

I didn’t think that the Falcons were really any good before the game and nothing that happened yesterday changed my opinion. So I’m trying not to read too much into the win.

What I think can be said is that the Bengals firmly and decisively did what they should have done. They did not play down to the level of an inferior opponent, as we’ve seen them do all too many times. Offensively, the mission was to take advantage of Atlanta’s poor pass defense, and defensively the goal was to contain their run game and make Mariota beat them. Mission accomplished on both counts.

The only two real points of criticism are Apple getting beaten on that 75 yard TD and the punt at the end of the half. On the former I can cut Eli some slack. Shit happens. Hell, on Boyd’s first TD the guy covering him just flat out fell down and left Tyler wide open. The punt however was either a total coaching brain fart — it ought to have been booted safely out of bounds — or a failure on Huber’s part to do so.
