Cincinnati at Seattle Predictions/Updates

[futurecoach]

First pass he finally catches (after a drop), he sees a player 5-7 yards downfield in front of him and pulls up to avoid contact almost costing the Bengals a first down. Fortunately, he just barely got the first down after falling down because he didn't want contact. You have to know where you are on the field and not be afraid of contact. If he just keeps running, easy first down. At this point in his career, John Ross is right up there on the list of biggest first round flops for the Bengals. There is zero toughness in him.

 

On that play it looked more like to me he was about to try to make a cut and his foot slipped out from under him so he just went down.

 

With that said that Erickson fumble completely killed the Bengals and flipped the field position in this game. It helped lead to this Seahawks td.

Take that VoR!

Bengals run a flea flicker to Ross for a td. Great play design by Taylor there.

I agree, that was great!

Eifert ran a bad route there. He has to get to the sticks.

Anybody want to again tell me how good and smart Kirkpatrick is? That was also terrible officiating.

[sumoroyal]

Dre just flat gave them that touchdown that should be called back. But they will get it next play. Kirkpatrick just whiffed on that tackle.

If I was on the other team, I do something to Dre every time. He is always going to retaliate.

And why is he trying to make a cut when he has 5 yards of running room and needs 1/2 a yard for a first down? Because he is soft.

 

On the TD, nice run after catch by Ross, but he almost messed the play up by slowing up on the route.

[Voice of Reason]

On another note, you gotta love Taylor calling time out on that 3rd down play before the TD. That NEVER, EVER would have happened under Marvin.

[Voice of Reason]

John Ross = SOFT!

[GrantNKY]

Is there anyone in the league with worse hands than John Ross? My lord.

[GrantNKY]

Let’s Go!!!

And that @Voice of Reason

[Voice of Reason]

LOL! I am going to keep talking about him!

 

Long TD pass to Ross with 7 seconds left in the half.

 

ALso, I will give Ross credit for making a tough catch after the drop. That took excellent concentration with the safety undercutting the throw and jumping at the ball in front of him.
