Week 10 Game Thread

[yecul]

Good call to get the ball right back into Dalton's hands instead of running more.

 

[DanoooME]

Wow, the Bengals O-Line is playing like hot garbage right now.  5 to block 3 and give up the sack?

 

[gammoseditor]

Back to back sacks for the Harvard grad.

 

[dcmissle]

Bengals should be in QB acquisition mode this offseason.

Too many fails in big games. More than adequate sample size. Considering how the division is packed, this is a vitally important game. They are not competitive so far

 

[dcmissle]

Damn Hoyer is good. It's going to be a while before Manziel sees the field. And it may not be in Cleveland

 

[Ed Hillel]

Dumb challenge.

 

[bankshot1]

DBC

 

[Dollar]

Way to go, NFL refs. 

 

[gammoseditor]

Going for the hat trick. I don't think I've ever seen three reversals in the same drive.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Great throw.

 

[Moosey]

Holy shit, nice pass

 

[jsinger121]

Big time throw by Hoyer

 

[Dollar]

That's the first time I've seen the "leap over the center" play work since the Bruschi era.

 

[soxhop411]

This will take a whike

 

[soxhop411]

While

 

[bankshot1]

Cincy is now in 4-down territory

 

[Freddy Linn]

Dalton is going to make a hell of a backup one day.

 

[Moosey]

This multiple back running game reminds me of the heady days of Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I think we can cross this one off the tough games leff list for Denver.

 

[Dollar]

I'm not sure I understand why that is a first down, then a 15 yard penalty, instead of replaying 3rd down half the distance to the goal.  And I'm not 100% sure the refs understand either.
 
Usually only penalties that happen "after the play" are applied to the end result of the play.  This face mask was clearly during the play.

 

[Section15Box113]

Did he grab the facemask? Thought it was a good stiffarm.

 

[dcmissle]

No kidding. Was hilarious seeing people continue to pretend like Cincy is a good team.

Lots of teams this year have gone from bad to good, or the opposite, in the first half. SD and Cincy to the bad, Pitts and Pats to the good. And that's just one conference

 

[Moosey]

If that were Brady it would have been intentional grounding.

 

[Dollar]

Buster Skrine really busted that screen.

 

[DanoooME]

Looked like at first glance, that one was on Little.

 

[DanoooME]

Does Johnny file down those teeth to look like fangs so he can fit in with the Twilight crowd?

 

[Moosey]

I never understood why the Browns didn't keep Dawson. No faith in Cundiff.

 

[bankshot1]

according to ESPN Dalton's got a 14.6 QB rating.
 
I think they rounded-up

 

[DanoooME]

The wind didn't blow that FG off course.  Cundiff slices everything.

 the QB rating is now 2.0

 

[bankshot1]

Hank Stram was a dapper fellow on the sidelines

 

[DanoooME]

Geez, Jason Campbell might be an upgrade for them.

 

[dcmissle]

Jason Campbell had the great misfortune of being drafted by the Washington Redksins. Between his last years in college and period in DC, he had the benefit of playing for 4 or 5 different OCs, each with his own system, for 4 or 5 consecutive years. I don't know that he ever would have been anything other than a career backup. But he never had a chance.

Totally agree.  As it is, he's still one of the better backup QBs around.

 

[bankshot1]

that was complete domination

 

[DanoooME]

How did Cleveland lose by 18 to Jacksonville?

 
Turnovers.  They had 3 of their 7 all season in that game.

 

[DJnVa]

The fact that Hoyer is 9-3 for Cleveland while other Browns QBs in that same period are 1-12 is amazing.

 

[Marciano490]

I think we killed the Bengals.

 
New England Patriots:Cincinatti Bengals::Bernard Hopkins:Kelly Pavlik.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Bengals rookie running back Jeremy Hill, who had a front-row seat for the blowout, was among the unimpressed.
Asked whether the Browns were better than he previously thought, Hill said, "Oh no, not at all. They're probably worse than I thought, to be honest with you."
He didn't stop there.
"They didn't do anything special to me," Hill continued. "I mean, respect to them, they won the game. But that's all I'll give them."

I don't know where Hill gets off after that shit show but actually Cleveland does not convince me as a legit contender. Lots of crazy lazy ball handling, they were bailed out by the sliimmest of margins on replay a couple of times. Cincy was so bad-- if a really good team was throttling them it should have been like 50 something to 3. Better than your usual Browns team but does not seem like a team that could win a playoff game.
I am pulling hard for Hoyer though.

 

[pdaj]

Can't believe the Steelers-Jets game is being playing in the RI area over the Chiefs-Bills and Fins-Lions.
 
I guess I'll be at the bar tomorrow yet again ..

 

[Oppo]

Why isn't the London game at 9 AM? Is this a national game? I live in Daytona and I'm forced to watch every Jacksonville game however this week the game is not on, instead it's the Lions/Dolphins and Falcons/Bucs

<insert florida joke>

 

[mpx42]

It's not normally at 9 am. That was an experiment.

 

[brandonchristensen]

I'm calling a raiders upset.

 

[DanoooME]

NFLN sent Michael Irvin over to London for the game today.  Any hope that it's a one-way ticket?  Their morning show has been much better without him.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I'm calling a raiders upset.

Putting any money on that? Internet betting doesn't work, etc., etc.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I guess they'd say Brees didn't see Bethea, common excuse, but what else is a QB looking for if not defensive backs.

 

[JohnnyK]

Doubt they overturn the TEN turnover, so Greene just fumbled inches before the goalline.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Let's see if Stafford actually tries to throw at Megatron this week.

 

[mauf]

Doubt they overturn the TEN turnover, so Greene just fumbled inches before the goalline.

Tough break for the Titans, as I think he was in.
