Game Thread: Week 8, Cincinnati Bengals @ Los Angeles Rams @ Wembley Stadium, Sunday, 10/27/19, 10:00am PDT

[Retroram52]

This is the last game before we get a bye. When we get back from the bye week, our next game will be in Pissburgh against the Stillers on the 11th of November. Another tough travel condition imposed by the NFL commish and the Rams will be the home team against the Bungles in Wembley Stadium in London.

Now that our D has been re-vamped and to some degree the O as well, I think this team will come away with a win since we got our groove back a bit from the win against Atlanta. WE are playing better and all of the laziness and incompetence is disappearing especially with the D and the O-line. Ramsey has brought a new shot of energy as he re-connects with teammates Bortles and Fowler and the diff is evident.

The three TE sets have finally been instituted by McVay and it is working well in our version of the Jumbo package. McVay is running alot more. Last week he used Gurley, Henderson, Brown, and Kelly, as the last was activated for the game when Hager was deactivated. McVay is also throwing out of the Jumbo and this O could beat a Belicheat Patriots team but it would be close.

I look for more polish this week but it may come later in the game because of the jet lag that may set in. Hopefully, McVay and company will be there early to get acclimated. Should be a good game to watch early on Sunday!

Lets go into the bye week 5-3, I'm hoping this is the last London game for awhile.

Bent but didn’t break on that. A forced punt is always a good way to start things for the defense.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Great first play to get us out deep in our own territory.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

I think that Cooks will be fine since he got up rather quickly but understand him going to the locker room as a precaution since he took a good hit to the head.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Wow, surprised Kupp got that wide open.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Sucks that we had an 80+ yard drive and end up with just a field goal. Well, somethings better than nothing I suppose.

 

[Retroram52]

Run the damn ball when you are that close. Geez McVay.

Definitely more passes that drive for sure. I probably would’ve tried a screen to Higbee or Everett there on third down though.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice three-and-out for the D.

 

[Battlelyon]

Gurley looks like he is running in quicksand

 

[Retroram52]

Crap. I must be still asleep.

 

[Battlelyon]

Get Henderson the ball

 

[Retroram52]

We fool around and let these guys march down the field, we may come away with this game with the L. The Rams look asleep like me.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Dalton is picking apart our secondary this drive.

Pass rushers aren't doing their job

That quarter flew by.

Looks like we aren’t bringing a lot of pressure and expecting the run more. When we did bring it, we sacked him for an eight yard loss.

 

[Red_Chaos]

Just still don’t look right on offense

 

[UVA_Guy81]

A lot of penalties on us early.
