December 6, 201015 yr Bengals team and organization is full of idiots. Obviously I'm not a Bengals fan but have several friends who are and I hate it for them. Well, sort of...
December 6, 201015 yr Bratkowski stayed sober that week. As bad as the Bengals are, they seem to have the Ravens number. I hope that continues when they play again.
December 6, 201015 yr How did the Bengals beat the Ravens? The Bengals have been in every game but NE and the Jets and they were in the Jets game until the punt fiasco. The season turned for them when they blew the Cleveland and Tampa games back to back. This season unlike 2-14 years past really shows how bad Marvin is because they have a shot to win every game and have very questionable coaching decisions every close game.
December 6, 201015 yr Apples and anchovies... I was going to comment on what he said, but you pretty much nailed it.
December 6, 201015 yr Actually, does 9 get part of the blame for trying to run a spike play versus calling a time out? Probably not but .... I take it back. No Palmer doesn't get the blame: Lewis said the plan was for his team to get set quickly, so Palmer could spike the ball with no fewer than 10 seconds to play. That, the coach said, was enough time for Palmer to complete a mid-range pass down the middle, then use Cincinnati’s last timeout. What happened instead was, the Saints were slow getting off the downed Leonard, the refs were slow placing the ball and Palmer had to call a timeout with eight seconds left, time enough for just one play. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20101205/COL03/312050084/Daugherty-Bengals-regress-10-years

I couldn't help but think of Detective Tagart in Beverly Hill's Cop when he told Eddie Murphy that he wasn't going to fall for the "banana in the tail pipe". Well the Bengals fell for the Banana in the tail pipe.
December 6, 201015 yr What was he going to do let the play clock run out? He couldn't call a timeout again. Um. Yes
December 8, 201015 yr I heard yesterday that Marvin doesn't let Palmer call TO's. Apparently it was brought up on the coach's show Monday. I think Lapham blasted that decision. You have the worst game manager, time out caller, and challenger in all of the NFL refusing to allow his QB to call TO's and that isn't an issue??? This gets funnier and funnier as time goes on.
