lol. there's the NFL we know

Game management - clock management.... Always a problem for Marvin.

It isn't just a Marv thing, either. The coordinators have to be smart as well. Here is where running the ball ONCE on the previous series would have paid HUGE dividends.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Man, that white haired ref REALLY wants to throw his flag tonight.

 

[cincygrad]

What's ironic is that in every other circumstance, Marvin teams just run out the clock. Tonight? Nah.

Nice timeout there, Marv. Lol

 

[Cincyfan78]

Marvin finally calls a time out, he was way late, the ref noticed it late...no way that should have been granted.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Missed sack leads to a TD...

Can't have that. Of course...this last drive has been everything that would encompass Marvin Lewis and the Bengals in the NFL spotlight. Poor play calling, poor execution, poor clock management....

He should hire a 2 minute Head Coach. When it comes to the 2 minute warning of each half/quarter, he should hand the head phones over to the 2 minute Head Coach for that duration.

 

[Cincyfan78]

For the record, this is the 12th time in 18 games that the Bengals have given up points during the final 2 minutes of the 1st half...

That's 67% of the time. That ain't good, folks.

I think we all know where this game is going.... If this were the Steelers, Ben would have it in the bag. Given that it's Flacco, I still give us a shot here.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Well, Bengals get the ball 1st. That Baltimore defense has been on the field a long time in the 1st half. If the Bengals can put together a solid drive and get points, it will go a long way to putting away this Ravens team.

Only reason is because Ben can sling it and Flacco cannot. Only 1 long pass completed was due to 2 Bengals being dumb enough to not defend the pass, or catch it in the case of both Kirkpatrick and Bates.

I don't know how you guys watch this shit

 

[Cincyfan78]

Mosley is out.

Price is out as well.

 

[Cincyfan78]

I don't know how you guys watch this shit

Knowing that no matter how good things get, Marvin will fuck it up somehow.

 

[cincygrad]

3 and out coming up.

 

[Cincyfan78]

As good as the OL has played...they have allowed at least 4 batted passes at the LOS...got to get out and get the guy.

 

[Cincyfan78]

I just don't see what the coaches see in Redmond.

Great, he's aggressive.

He's also a moron.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Make that 5 batted passes at the LOS.

It was Redmonds' man, too.

Seriously...this guy is trash.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Over under on B-more TD here on this drive?

 

[cincygrad]

I think this game is tied going into the 4th.
