Bengals vs Browns Game Thread

[ahanes]

Gonna be a dogfight the rest of the way boys. Cleveland is getting confidence by hanging around. I think the Bengals will come out and play better the second half though.

[Ripper]

Hey guys ! Coming in during half time ! Not what i'm wanting to see but if they can keep the damn browns with a long field should be a differant story in the 2nd half.

Palmer is calling the plays not bratkowski

[AMC]

The Bengals will be OK....Marvin is gonna kick some a$$ in the locker room I betcha...

[cincy9275]

brat sends in the plays and the formations so yes he is calling the plays .

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Palmer is calling the plays not bratkowski

Yeah, although I didn't see any audibles on those 2nd and 3rd down plays. Palmer doesn't have that much freedom to do what he wants.

i want an update on perry

[AMC]

Deep breath guys...Second half will be better...For some reason I think the coaching staff was experimenting a little bit there...

[cincy9275]

the bengals should have come out and put there foot on clevelands throat and not let up these guys are playing a very very conservative and they need to stop they are playing like a bunch of pu**ies

[Ripper]

They'll be ok !

Need to get a couple out routes to get chad in the game or do something. It'll be a little less run, run, run next half i'm sure ! ! !

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Dey !

Hope the bears can get it going against the steelers !

Johanson said it was an ankle and his return is questionable...didn't sound too concerned...but haven't heard since on the severity...

[HoosierCat]

Pretty pathetic. Clowns have something like 75 yards of offense for the first half...and 14 points. We handed them an easy 7 with a pick and left another 8 points on the field.

Ugly day so far.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Has to be worst #'s half for Palmer this season - 60 yards and an INT, 53% passing. Yuck.

[schweinhart]

Bengals just need to keep plugging away.

Frye looked like he was ready to unravel so maybe more blitzing to spook him. The Bengals defense should have the upper hand for the second half. They'll come out first in the second half so we'll see how they come at them.

[cincy9275]

this is not how a team thats wants to be in the playoffs should play . yes this game plan is dumb i love watching rudi run as much as the next guy but you can not be this timid on ofense this is a joke like i said brat needs to go

[ahanes]

That half started off downhill with Tab Perry dropping the short kickoff and putting the Bengals in bad field position. Then TJ drops a throw on 3rd down and Palmer throws an interception. Stinks like the Bengals of old. But I got a feeling they'll come out and play tough this half now that their asses have woken up.

[jungleman]

we need to blitz the rookie qb and force a mistake.

[HoosierCat]

Bengals just need to keep plugging away.

That's the least they need to do. I thought they were over this "playing up/down to the level of the competition" thing. They want the division, they need this game, esp. with Pitt pounding Chicago.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Unbelieveble, cmon Deltha

[rizzy]

just when you think the defense has come out to play then they screw up

[jungleman]

whats our 3rd down defensive numbers terrible

[ShulaSteakhouse]

didn't get it!

stupid, stupid, stupid Bengals - inexcusable

[clevelandbengal]

rediculos

[rizzy]
