Don't let Dalton throw. Good plan.

This.

Just take it out of his hand and let everyone else do the work.

 

[kramer1]

Get Hall off the field, please.

Jeremy Fucking Hill!!!!!!

 

[Cincyfan78]

Newman and Hall both have given up plays that should have been easily defended. It's the only reason JAX has moved the ball at all.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Iloka with a nice INT, but should have went down. Stupid to bring it out.

Hurns is a talented receiver..........Bortles has serious arm talent....Denard Robinson is a pretty good back.......the Jags aren't good, but their defense and special teams hit hard, not like a 1-7 team.....let Bortles develop and the Jags might be pretty good soon......

 

[Cincyfan78]

A Margus Hunt sighting!

It's like seeing bigfoot. Rare.

 

[bengaldoug]

Well boys, despite Dalton's best efforts, we didn't give the game away.......

 

[bengaldoug]

Jeremy Hill should get 20 carries a week, and Gio should be the change of pace guy.....they could have an awesome running game if they ever figure that out.

Bortles still has a lot of growing to do. The Bengals missed at least 3 INT's, 2 of them if at least defended would have prevented scores. He's pretty reckless at times throwing the ball. Another solid WR would help. A true WR/Playmaker.

I like Robinson at RB, and Gerhart would be a good compliment as a shortyardage guy like he was in Minn...he's not a starter.

The OL has to improve and the defense needs to improve as well, but if they keep adding talent they'll be better before anyone realizes it.

They definitely play hard for their coach. He should get another year to right the ship.

They can rush the passer, and they play with tons of energy. Bortles is going to be good, unlike their last seventeen or so quarterbacks. They need a few olinemen, and a little more experience with their wideouts, and they can be tough for anyone to handle.

a win is a win.

Dalton sucks ass, but the rest of the team doesn't.

 

[cincygrad]

Anyone remember all the butthurt during the draft when we picked Jeremy Hill?

 

[DanBengalfan]

yes. we should all just stop pretending that we know anything about college players.

well, most of us.

 

[cincygrad]

LOL! I just took a look at the draft day thread..... High comedy.

Anyone else notice on Andy's second INT that the DL guy tackled Burkhead on a RB screen, which was who Dalton was going to throw to? Andy saw Burkhead get tackled, tried to tuck the ball, but couldn't do it, and it just fell off his hand into Whitworth's back? WhereTF was the penalty on the DL?????

All in all not a great game for Dalton, but it wasn't as bad as some of you fools make it out to be. That 1st INT was all Dalton, the second one, WhereTF was the penalty for tackling the intended target???

Jags defense was #1 in the NFL coming into this week stopping oppising teams from scoring inside the redzone. The Ravens were the week before when the Bengals scored 3 TD's in the red zone. So coming into this week, the Jags had taken over. Scored 3 more times inside the red zone on the #1 defense in the NFL regarding that stat again this week.

Jax is very underrated, especially their D. They dismantled the Browns, have been playing tough football, they just have not been getting the W's because of the number of INT's by Bortles. Yesterday Bortles only threw 1, but should have had 4, 2 more by Lamur and 1 by Newman. After the 1st quarter, we basically moved the ball at will. I thought it was a pretty good game for the offense and minus a couple miscues the score could have been much worse.

That offsides on Green, that led to 3 points instead of 7. The blocked punt that unfortunately went through the end zone instead of settling to where we could convert a short TD score, so 2 instead of 7, and the ridiculous non-penalty call by the ref on Dalton's second INT which led to 6 points for the Jags.
