ShulaSteakhouse Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 The Bengals on offense almost seem content running safe, high percentage plays and not turning the ball over downfield, and letting the defense and special teams win the game for them.I think that's why they are throwing short again on 3rd downs and not scoring any points. Nor could this 0-line pass protect a bunch of grandmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor could this 0-line pass protect a bunch of grandmas. I think is also has to do with not having a second option for Carson. Once Chad is covered we are dumping it off for a 3-yard pass to either the TE or RB's. WR's have been non-existent here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 The Bengals on offense almost seem content running safe, high percentage plays and not turning the ball over downfield, and letting the defense and special teams win the game for them.I think that's why they are throwing short again on 3rd downs and not scoring any points. Nor could this 0-line pass protect a bunch of grandmas.I think is also has to do with not having a second option for Carson. Once Chad is covered we are dumping it off for a 3-yard pass to either the TE or RB's. Which makes perfect sense given how poorly the o-line has done protecting Palmer. Frankly, I'm happy to see the short passing game come alive. But I agree we obviously need to mix in some long passes -- and receptions. Being up 3-0 in TO's, having great field position as a result, and leading by just 6 is very inefficient, to say the least.Oh, thanks, Matt! Good timing! Told y'all we needed at TE to do something!

ShulaSteakhouse Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 People need to get off of the Kid's back already.I agree, he's not turning it over and if the defense gives him enough opportunities he will make something happen eventually, as frustrating as he can be at times.Matt Schobel, where ya been?

It's time to take charge Carson???How ya Like him now....People need to get off of the Kid's back already. I think Carson deserves some of the critism, such as adjustments, etc.. but I also think he has WAY TOO MUCH on his shoulders and at times doesn't have the game-plan by Brat to succeed. Either way, we're up and the football gods are happy with cincinnatians.... YAY Gods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
