I thought Kapinos did a nice job punting today.Quote:

That wasn't a lazer throw that Dalton threw. That was a floating duck that Green had to maneuver to get to the ball. Clark was absolutely pathetic on that play.
How lucky are we that he was still available when Sepulveda got hurt, he has done great so far.Quote:

Next, our offense line didn't play good today and allowed five sacks I believe. Kemo is starting to get on my last nerve, he seems to be letting defenders by him without a problem even though hes our best pulling guard for the run. Then, our third down defense still struggled today even though it wasn't as bad as compared to last week. Finally, something I've been complaining about for a while and that's redzone scoring, that needs to improve.
Why are people complaining about the red zone offense? They were a Heath Miller penalty away from being 4 for 4 TDs today...
I thought Troy was equally inept on that play.Quote:

They might have been good today, but they've struggled scoring touchdowns this season and instead are kicking field goals.Quote:

But a win's a win. I don't think there'll ever be a week without something to complain about.
I just want to play one clean game. I know it isn't easy but for once, let's not turn the ball over or have penalties take away points. The INT was a fluke but it's dumb stuff like that which makes it difficult to put teams away.
This^, I give the Bengals more credit then most so far... They've got a lot better since they cut all the cancer out, Ocho Stinko, To, and Palmer gone, team has a shot in the arm and playing with some Swagger.Quote:

I would love to see footage of how Cortez Allen is playing ( according to some reports he is really stepping up and showing potential of being a good CB)
I would love to see the weekly development of Antonio Brown, as he sounds like he is going to be the man who steps up with Mike Wallace to give the steelers that real 1-2 punch not seen for a long time at WR position.
Perhaps. But I still don't think it contributed to the end result of the play, so it was unfortunate if nothing else.Quote:

I am sort of willing to buy that this style of offense is the wave of the future, but you have to put a team away. You have to return the favor and bail out a struggling defense that has been bailing you out for half a dozen years now.
It was sad watching the Seachickens close out the Ravens on offense yet we have had 4 chances in the last 2 weeks and couldnt.
You're right about that. With some Steelers fans, if the O put up 99 points and the D pitched a shutout, they'd be bitching that they didn't score 100 and left points on the field. :jerkit:Quote:

Lost among any complaints is that the D did not have a 4th quarter let down.
They were well prepared. He took almost exclusively 3 and 5 step drops, the WR's ran almost exclusively short and intermediary routs, and when in doubt, Dalton threw it away. We had pressure, just not sacks...Quote:

I think he thought that Clark had a better play on the ball, and didn't want to break up what he saw as a good interception opportunity. Almost every NFL game you see one defensive back jump into a play where his teammate has a clear path to the ball and what would have been an easy interception turns into a harmless incompletion and the other team comes back the next play and converts a 3rd down and you end up giving up the touchdown a few plays later. Anyway I just get this sense after watching it the umpteenth time that Troy took a calculated gamble and thought that if he left the play alone that Ryan clark gets the interception in the end zone, thus ending the threat.
Looking again on the one angle you can see Troy's eyes mark Clark's point on the field, and then he pulled up on the play. Clark did an Ike, and mistimed and misplayed the ball in the air. If you switched positions and put Troy where Clark was he gets hands on the ball without question.
