September 23, 200718 yr Rudi is not a speed and quickness back. He runs between the tackles. The Bengals have tried desperately to get a speed back but the football Gods won't let us. Rudi has been very consistent for this franchise over the last 5 years. He carries what 300 times a year or so it seems. It's not right to point the finger at him. AND he had a hamstring issues today. Anybody can run for a 1,000 yards. That stat is so overrated.
September 23, 200718 yr I thought the idea was to challenge saying that in fact hassleback did catch the ball, because that would have been a loss of ten. Instead they called it incomplete
September 23, 200718 yr The play calling was terrible in this one as well. There was no reason at all to go for 2 at the end. Dumb playing calling and penalties are 100% on the coach.
September 23, 200718 yr Also by the way I had this discussion in the UK thread. I think we should have kicked the extra point and not have went for 2 at the end. Because after that Seattle td, a field goal would have won it for us and not just tied it...Its a mute point though since the offense didn't even get a chance...:irked:
September 23, 200718 yr Lets get off Rudi and get on the Bengals Defense The defense did their job today. Holding the other team to 24 points should be good enough with that offense.
September 23, 200718 yr He had Julian Peterson in his face all day..... and he HAD HAMSTRING ISSUES. You guys are turning on Rudi like he is Corey Dillon it's night right. He has been our backfield the last 5 years. Guess no one appreciates that. Rudi is the last guy to blame today. Just saying that he is OVERRATED.

Dumb playing calling and penalties are 100% on the coach. :thumb: I agree, I know I been arguing that point in the UK thread, because they did the same thing. It worked for UK, but still was no reason to go for 2...
September 23, 200718 yr I also think that Rudi and/or our line is too slow to run the sweep. I'm also sick of seeing the wide receiver reverse for two yards. Warrick scored on it once like five years ago and they continue to run it two to three times a game.
September 23, 200718 yr Perhaps your kicker can share some of the blame with his gaff at the end of the game.
September 23, 200718 yr Anybody can run for a 1,000 yards. That stat is so overrated. Yeah doing it 3 years straight with 12 TD's or more in each year is so easy to do huh? By the way he has rushed for at least 1300 the last 3 years.. and 2 times over 1400. VERY overrated back! You guys attacking Rudi and consider yourself Bengal fans is sickening. One bad game with a HAMSTRING injury.
September 23, 200718 yr Another year of "How Many Ways Can You Lose A Game"... Yep. Looks like we're heading down that road. :irked:
