Game Thread: Week 4: Bengals vs. Falcons

[cincygrad]

Another tough spot for the Bengals. On the road for a out of conference game against a talented team. The Falcons haven't been quite right since blowing the Super Bowl, but they have talent on both sides of the ball. The Bengals probably match up better with them than they did with the Panthers last week, but pulling out a victory against a desperate team in a dome is a tall order. I think the Bengals struggle to stop the Falcons. The D disappoints for the second straight week. Bengals fall, 31-20

There will be no semblance of defense on display in this game by either team.

35-31, Falcons

Don’t @ me.

 

[kramer1]

Lol defense

 

[Be Weary of Query]

We were going with first half score projections, right?

 

[Be Weary of Query]

Eifert just broke his fucking leg. I wouldn’t look it up if you are squeamish.

 

[kramer1]

That’s just soooooo Bengals

SON OF BITCH THEY PULLED IT OFF!!

3-1 without Tez.

Think any board regular will allow themselves to enjoy it? Or do we stick with the standard “I didn’t watch the game”.

Its been fun to this point vs. last year which was a chore to endure.

I know the whole game winning drive I was just waiting for some typical Bengals bullshit to end the game. I was looking for the strip sack, the tipped INT, or for AJ to get tackled at the 1 as time ran out. So glad I was wrong.

This years team may not be great, but they have some fight in them. I like that.

 

[Be Weary of Query]

Anyone with eyes knew this right away...just official confirmation.

I didn't watch the game. Followed the score on my phone while I was away from home. 3-1 is an impressive mark given the quality of competition thus far.... I'm super impressed with Bill Lazor and how much he seems to be getting out of Dalton. It seems the D is giving up way too many chunk plays - This is surprising given that Marvin's teams are generally good in this area. But it does look like a much more 'fun' version of the Bengals. The will to win seems to have made a reappearance.

Almost 30 straight years of shit football has made me cynical. I enjoyed watching the game with my family, though.

 

[kramer1]

Oh, and the Steelers lost again....

Hahahahaha!

I didn't watch, I've wasted so many Sunday's sitting on the couch tethered to some tv or another watching these losers, time to be here for my family while we're still a family, and live life while I'm still alive, no one here watches these things except for me, they don't have the patience.

Glad a local team is doing well. I'll watch the highlights.

 

[DanBengalfan]

oh, and anyone who thought Eif-hurt wasn't going to get hurt, you suck.

 

[DanBengalfan]

good highlights, the way dalton and green seemed to take advantage of their defense at the end was pretty sweet.

 

[BKBroiler9000]

To be fair, not much you can do about a 250 dude landing on your ankle and twisting it like a pretzel. Not like this was a reoccurrence of some lingering injury.

It’s a shame, Eifert appeared to be trending back toward being a difference maker. Then this happens. I feel for the guy.

Austin is having them playing to much zone defense. Not enough blitzes. Hopefully that gets corrected.
