Thursday Night Football....Texans @ Bengals

[Foxypats]

They should just stop Thursday night games. The last few seasons , the games on TNF have been of a very poor quality.

SF vs Ram next week....LETS GOOOOO

The red rifle? More like little red riding hood. This guy has regressed tremendously.

Final score, 13-9. 13+9=22. Watson turned 22 today and indians increased their winning streak to 22 games today.

For the record I am not affiliated with the Bengals.

That seems like it was the most boring thing. Glad I watched Baseball instead

On the local sports radio network, every Thursday brings ads for a betting prediction line. I know it's just a bunch of lies, because it contains this line:

Kevin Todd loves this game!

Regarding the soon-to-be too-often repeated stat about Cincy being the first team since the 1939 Eagles to not score a touchdown in consecutive home games, some perspective:

- In 1939 40% of the teams in the NFL averaged 10 points per game or less.
- Teams then averaged just 18 offensive touchdowns on the season.
- Including D/ST, teams in '39 averaged only 2.04 touchdowns per game.
- One of the teams in the championship game that year averaged 15 points per game.
- The pass completion rate in the league as a whole was 42.5%.
- The interception rate for the league as a whole was 9.3%.
- The passer rating for the league in 1939 was 39.7.
- More than twice as many interceptions (209) were thrown than TDs (99).

The Bengals not scoring a touchdown in consecutive games is a much larger milestone in offensive ineptitude than the '39 Eagles when you adjust for changes in the way the game is played, officiated, and consider rule changes that benefit offenses.

Relatively speaking, the '39 Eagles were an offensive juggernaut in comparison to the Marvin Lewis - Ken Zampese - Andy Dalton 2017 Cincinnati Bengals.

Marvin Lewis - "We're on to Cincinnati"

Marvin Lewis - "We're on to Cincinn.... Wait. What? We're on to Green Bay? Oh, ****."

That whole play was worth it just to see Watt annihilate a center.

They really should create a stat for when QBs throw receivers into death traps.

"The QB was 15 for 25 tonight for 205 yards. He threw 2 TDs, 1 INT and 3 Peytons."

Bengals should go to New Jersey and rename themselves New York Bengals.

Woof.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Woof.

IMHO Andy has always been precariously on the fence. A QB who has shown some ability to lead his team to winning seasons yet one conspicuously backward lurch away from life as a backup.

If I read that right and the star (and respected) WR just called him out? 1, even a backup NFL QB is a lofty occupation. 2, QB mediocrity in the NFL is widespread enough that he could remain a starter.

 

[TommyD4207]

Woof.

He has every right to chirp. 7 targets when the Texans are down their top 2 CBs? Really?

 

[luuked]

Given how weak our defense was at setting the edge week 1, Houston will be an interesting test. If they maintain gap discipline and set a hard edge, they'll contain Watson and a shutout will genuinely be in play. If not, he could create problems. I assume Belichick will spend all week stressing it.

It will be another game where some of the bozos here will go insane over the lack of a pass rush because we will get the good old contain the QB, dont let him beat you with his legs defense. Cant wait..

 

[maineman209]

If Marvin Lewis still has a job after this...I hope the bengals have the worst luck for all eternity

I think the Colts already have the worst luck. Doubt that he's under contract for that long though.

We were so disappointed with both teams and the qualiy of this game that we forgot one important detail about what happened last night:

CLASSIC PRIMETIME BENGALS!

It doesn't matter the circumstances, when this team is on tv you can be sure they will throw a stinker.
