Going to the game tomorrow

[kramer1]

Free tickets, yet I still feel somewhat unclean.

50 yard line, lower bowl, handicapped section. It's nice to know people.

 

[DanBengalfan]

you have a designated driver I hope.

have fun

 

[alf8478]

Have fun. I guess I'll have to double the sarcastic posts in the game thread.

 

[UDFlyers90]

Don't get too drunk and then pick fights with the crippled Panthers fans.

I can take them, though.

 

[cincygrad]

I hope you enjoy punting.

Jones was set to make his season debut last week, but injured his ankle minutes into his first practice of the season. He has not practiced since. Mohamed Sanu, Dane Sanzenbacher and Brandon Tate will be the Bengals' top-three receivers against Carolina.

Bets on Kramer making it more than 3 offensive series before he walks out?

 

[alf8478]

Maybe Kramer can play receiver, can't be worse than what's out there

 

[bengaldoug]

Suit up, Kman....you'll be the ginger's #3 target today behind Sanu and Gio......

 

[kramer1]

I think there was 1 punt the entire game.

LOL! I'm an idiot.

But did you really think Andy was going to put up 37 without AJ Green? And I remember a time when we played defense.

I foolishly figured we'd win something like 21-13.

This defense is one of the worst in the league.

I agree... the collapse of this defense is the story here. Get off the field on 3rd down. I know Andy had 2 INTs but I thought he played well overall. He kept them in the game.

And the lack of discipline with all the penalties is on the coaching. Burfict seemed out of control to me.

Honestly, not to side with Burfict here, but I didn't think either personal foul against Burfict was legit.

The first PF, he hit Benjamin coming over the middle of the field after the ball had gotten to the WR, and he hit him in the chest/shoulders, with his shoulder pads. I am not sure why a defensive player is not allowed to hit a WR anymore to knock a ball lose after they catch it. If they do not like getting hit over the damn middle, stop drawing up plans to get your WR's the ball in the middle of the field. Use the damn sidelines for the weak hearted.

The second one, that was a little more questionable as it could have gone either way, and that was the hit on Newton near the boundary. He never use full force, it was only about a step after the throw and he even held his hands up and made sure not to put them on Newton. The only part in question, it looked like he leaned his head into Newton to get that little extra ommph, without using the normal techniques. I thought it was kinda bogus IMO, but on the other hand, I was okay with it because I don't want Burfict even thinking about rolling his head towards a hit with the concussions he has had lately. To me t hat penalty was more about protecting Burfict than Newton.

I'd normally be inclined to agree, but the Bengals have been relatively low in penalties this year. I think i remember the television folks saying that crew thew the most flags in the league. It certainly seemed that way. They called some weird shit for both teams..... Hell, one time they called us for false start even though half the unit was still getting set up and there was something like 15 seconds on the play clock.

Yeah, that phantom false start, the hold on Smith on the Hill would be TD run, one PF call on Burfict (against Benjamin), one questionable (against Newton at the sidelines) (although I am sure they didn't flag him for other things like the Cam Newton TD run PF). Or the missed call on the lateral from Dalton to Sanzenbacher that should have been a fumble that Sanzenbacher picked up and nearly ran for a first down with.

Burfict is now being accused of twisting ankles after tackles on Newton and Olsen.

Honestly, I'd sit Burfict for a game. He was out of control on Sunday. The penalties and bush league crap have no place. This is a team that needs a come to Jesus meeting defensively. Pretty tough to circle the wagons when your best player, and unquestioned leader on defense, is running around pickin up PF's and ripping dudes legs off. Things like this are why Burfict went undrafted(in addition to an awful 40)
