November 23, 201510 yr Whitlock says Dalton's selfishness cost the Bengals. Whether it was selfishness or lack of football IQ neither are good. http://j.school/post/133801911185/yes-blame-andy-dalton-for-cincys-loss I was just getting ready to post this article. He rips Andy. He is right too.
November 23, 201510 yr Arians said the Bengals have a history of simulating the snap count. Maybe we are getting pretty good. The Steelers accusing of us being too rough on them, the Cards accusing us of cheating. God only knows what the Pats will accuse us of and we better stay out of the state of Indiana.

November 23, 201510 yr Hard to disagree with Whitlock but I think he is being a little over critical. Whitlock is an idiot. 1) Dalton shouldn't have had an option there other than a screen pass or short dump off... He should've been told, run no matter what you see. 2) what would Whitlock say of the play works for a go ahead touchdown? It's one play and the Bengals still tied the game for what should've been overtime. 3). The defense lost that game. Period. Injuries or not, they lost it. Dalton and gang lost the Houston game, the D lost last night. That's pro football for ya.
November 23, 201510 yr Worst end of game defense I've seen in a while, even from the Bengals. Wish someone would show Hill his tape of last year where he ran north/south with force instead of trying to dance in the hole. He's not Gio. I actually thought Hill showed signs of his old self last night. Was hitting the hole hard and was getting those extra 4-5 yards after contact like he was getting last year. They look a lot better in the I Formation with Hill in the backfield and Hewitt leading him. Hewitt threw a huge block on Hills second touchdown run, flattened a safety.

I think reality has set in with Hill, he is the backup, and he is motivated.
November 23, 201510 yr Hard to disagree with Whitlock but I think he is being a little over critical. The questioning of the decision made by Andy is more than fair. The reasons behind his decision are obviously speculative but, hey, that's what fans do. Little things like managing the clock properly are difference-makers in the NFL.
November 23, 201510 yr Hard to disagree with Whitlock but I think he is being a little over critical. Curious...did he write the same article about Eli Manning against the Patriots earlier this year? Because it's just about the same dang scenario. Heck, to me, it's even worse for the Giants. They've got a guy that's won two Super Bowls...he should know better! I said before, I don't mind them throwing there. I just didn't like the pass play itself. All of your eggs were in one basket. I'd have preferred some options.

November 23, 201510 yr I think reality has set in with Hill, he is the backup, and he is motivated. Gio and AJ are playing lights out between the 20's, If Hill can start complimenting Eifert in the Red Zone we will be almost impossible to stop.
November 23, 201510 yr Eli doesn't have the same reputation as Andy Dalton - as fair or unfair as that is. Either it's a stupid mistake or it's not, in my opinion. So, suddenly Whitlock is inside people's heads and knows their motivation? Gimme a break. (Not directed at you, Clyde.)
November 23, 201510 yr Eli doesn't have the same reputation as Andy Dalton - as fair or unfair as that is. It's 100% unfair.. What if the Bengals didn't convert the 4th down when they were down by 14? These things happen in football... It's not selfishness, it just didn't work out. I still say, Hue has to forcefully suggest they run the ball in that situation. It's easier for coaches and even easier for fans at home to feel that way... Not so easy for players in the heat of the game with all the adrenaline going and all.
November 23, 201510 yr I think reality has set in with Hill, he is the backup, and he is motivated. Hill got trucked pass blocking last night. And he is actually a pretty good pass blocker I believe.
November 23, 201510 yr Been said but in this order; 1) Penalties on the road very difficult to overcome against quality team 2) Awful clock management. I blame AD, run it. I blame the 2nd down call that was worse. An out for no 1st down and go out of bounds. Play call, I guess on that one. 3) Last week offense, this week defense sucked. 4) What is up with this 3rd quarter stuff. We more often than not are awful in that quarter. 5) O-line was pretty weak all night. 6) I really felt the Bengals were the better team, but could not get out of their own way. 7) Loss not devastating, I believe they will go 5-1 the rest of the way.
