August 25, 201412 yr I've seen enough, have a great week folks. Let's hope the special teams makes some strides before game 1. Defense was solid and did provided our only TD in the half. :jump: Who Dey.
August 25, 201412 yr I'm here now. Was at a fantasy draft. We were watching the game And it looked like of what I saw anyway Dalton had his normal Regression following a great performance the week before. Had some good Throws but too many really bad throws. At least Carson can still throw TDs for the Bengals.
August 25, 201412 yr Sanu looked like he had a pretty good night. He was my sleeper pick in the 11th round of my draft tonight.

At least Carson can still throw TDs for the Bengals. Not as good as the first two weeks. Horrible field position and no running game early. AD was fine, not spectacular, I didn't see any terrible throws, the only one was the grounding, but Hewlitt missed a bock, he just dumped it, really not a huge problem. No big mistakes, that really is what he has to do against these really good defenses. AZ is very good defensively. Sanu played well. Screen game is not very good. They ran the ball well up the gut well, horrible sealing blocks on the edge and therefore nothing went well running wide.
August 25, 201412 yr Don't Marvin want to look at anyone else returning punts? I don't know, Tate has worn out his welcome long ago and this has always been one of Marvin's problems. He doesn't know when to replace players when they need to be replaced. He lost some good offensive linemen because of that in the past along with some other key players in other positions such as Simms etc. on the D-Line. I just don't think Marvin for some reason likes admitting his talent evaluation is ever wrong and it is sometimes. Tate shouldn't have made it past the first round of cuts yet he will probably make it on the 53 man roster. He is horrible.
August 25, 201412 yr How about all of the injuries. Bengals had at least three carted off. Was a crazy stretch late in the game, to be sure. The injuries to Wright (head / neck can always be problematic) and the lineman appeared to be somewhat serious.
August 25, 201412 yr I was at a concert last night, so I didn't get to watch it on my DVR until real late and only seen the first half. However the defense played well but they did get lucky that Palmer missed a wide open receiver. However besides that they played solid. The offense didn't look that good at all in the 1st quarter. In the second quarter they did some good things but didn't finish those drives with touchdowns. Dalton didn't look horrible but he definitely didn't look as sharp as he did the last two games. In big games or against top defenses he is a little off. I think they only top defense I have seen him look good against has been the Jets. He does great against them and that is a good defense.
August 25, 201412 yr QB's often look bad against good defense, Case in point, remember Manning against Seattle?
August 25, 201412 yr The coaching staff is a bit displeased on the D-line getting baited into a hard count offside penalty on 3rd and short.
August 25, 201412 yr QB's often look bad against good defense, Case in point, remember Manning against Seattle? Yes but QB's don't always look bad against good defenses such as Dalton has for the most of his career.
