October 11, 201510 yr The update thread is very funny. I don't know how we won a game. We had a terrible defense, terrible clock management, terrible Marvin, Bad Andy is back, Nugent sucks, Tate sucks, Bengals are fraud, and the Bengals still won. Of course, now Seattle isn't very good. Will someone please tell me when we play a team that is decent. I'm tired of playing all bad teams. This week was a decent team if you need to know. Don't read the update thread if you don't understand the ev and flow of an update thread. When the Bengals looked bad it was posted at the time they looked bad, when they looked good it was posted when they looked good. To come in after the fact as if you knew how it would end up is kind of cowardly. When Andy looked bad, it was stated. When Andy looked great it was stated. When defense looked bad with horrible tackling again it was stated at that time, when they made huge plays it was stated also. Not sure what you think an update thread is supposed to be like, but apprently it isn't for you.
October 11, 201510 yr New England and Green Bay aren't on the schedule. Therefore we don't play anybody any good. Right. Should be 16-0! Same old Bengals if they lose to one of the slacker teams on their schedule...
October 11, 201510 yr So according to some, bad Andy today. 30-44 331 yards 2td 1int and had an 80 yard TD reception called back. The interception was bad but overall, another great performance. He has been a top 5 QB this year.

October 11, 201510 yr Since you avoided the question in the other thread, how was this a bad call? An invalid fair catch signal is when the player signaling for a fair catch does not fully extend his arm above his head. If the player's arm is flexed, an invalid fair catch penalty will be called and the ball will be marked down at the spot of the invalid fair catch and then assessed a five yard penalty. That's literally exactly what happened. I was going off of what the announcers stated who are supposed to know the rules more than me or you. They said the arm needs to be raised above the shoulders. It wasn't, some may say it wasn't even a motion of a fair catch in the first place, some will say any wave of a hand is a signal. I went off of what the announcers said and according to them at the time it was a blown call.

October 11, 201510 yr again, no fair catch signal was made, so not sure where it was decided it was a fair catch move. He flexed his arm to try and trick the Seahawks defender. It worked, but he didn't fool the ref. That's what this rule is there for.

He has been a top 5 QB this year. He had another great game if you ask me. Some bad decisions made him look bad at times, and his 3rd qtr he reverted back to his old self but fixed it and had an outstanding 4th qtr except for taking some unnecessary sacks.
October 11, 201510 yr He flexed his arm to try and trick the Seahawks defender. It worked, but he didn't fool the ref. That's what this rule is there for. That's fine. Like I said, I was going off of what was said on TV.
October 11, 201510 yr 5-0.For some of the younger members, this could be the best Bengals team you have seen. Try to enjoy it... I was 8 the last time.
October 11, 201510 yr That's fine. Like I said, I was going off of what was said on TV. I figured, which is fine. But I've learned over the years that the guys doing the commentating don't generally have the best understanding of the rules. I typically ignore them and try to find an interpretation elsewhere.
October 11, 201510 yr For all those people talking about the update thread. At around 3pm when the Bengals went down 17, where were all those folks posts then saying the Bengals were going to win? Nowhere, that's where. So do us a favor and don't criticize those talking about what is going on at the time n a game and come back later and criticize those who are actually making posts unless you have the guts to make posts stating the Bengals would win being down 17 at that time.
October 11, 201510 yr Author I think playoff time will determine that. No matter what happens in the playoffs this is not a game the "same ol Bengals" would win.
