Game Thread: Bengals vs Texans Week 2

[Cincyfan78]

Eifert so wide open, he forgot to stay in bounds.

I don't want to see anymore complaints about him getting the ball. F'n moron.

 

[cincygrad]

This team lacks total awareness, discipline.... you name it, there is a way to screw things up.

Agreed. I think it's hard to care when you know a) you're not good enough to get anywhere and b) the coach won't be back next season.

He'll be back next season

It goes back further than that. Not just Marvin not having a contract this year, but since he's been here.

Mistakes are simply accepted. He's an enabler. Marvin will stick up for Eifert, shoo away the blame, and move on. Hard to have that fine attention to detail as a player when it's so clearly lacking from management, and there's no one there to hold anyone accountable.

Yeah.... But at least his teams always seemed to care. They'd be chippy on the field. This team looks like it could care less.

 

[cincygrad]

They desperately need Burfict back in the lineup.

 

[cincygrad]

Pacman is still a pretty good corner.

Fair point on that end.

I just think the small details for the players have always lacked because that attention to detail is lacking in Marvin. Time management. Down/distance play calling. Substitutions. Early game time outs. All these things that good teams don't deal with. And then when players make mistakes, he's up there on media day to shoo away the blame instead of holding them accountable. That's not to say to throw them under the bus, but you can make a pointed statement instead of just sticking up for the guy and act like he didn't do anything wrong.

 

[cincygrad]

I will say this..... This team has some real intriguing parts. There is a good blend of old talent and promising young talent. A good coach could get something out of this group.

Not that it matters when Pauly G is coaching next year, but whatever.....

I thought they were looking at his vag.

 

[cincygrad]

Atkins is still good.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Back in the game.

As if it matters. He'll probably line up out of bounds.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Atkins is still good.

It's a shame he's wasted on this team with no offense.

He's be a key part in any other championship team. MVP kind of player. Put him in GB or NE....(ok, well not MVP in NE because it's always brady, but...)

 

[Cincyfan78]

Mixon is so much better than everyone else....it's mind blowing that he's not out there full time.

 

[Cincyfan78]

This just in...Dalton still sucks.

 

[Be Weary of Query]

Dunlap screams around the edge and gets the safety. 11-10 would rule.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Really thought that flag was going to be called on Dunlap. They dodged a bullet because he shoved his guy to the ground.

Also, are the Texans now trying to one-up the Bengals on shitty offensive play calling?

 

[Be Weary of Query]

Ready to watch another punt?

 

[cincygrad]

Awful. Just awful.
