September 18, 201115 yr I let myself get excited that they might win. Not sure why we never kicked a FG at the end. Bengals haven't won in Denver since 1975....
September 18, 201115 yr Final. No excuse for not attempting the 51 yd FG with 3 minutes left. I wondered the same thing myself.
September 19, 201115 yr Tough loss.Dalton played a good game for a rookie and I feel he is only going to get better(I hope)...The next game against the niners is crucial for the Bengals to get a win.
September 19, 201115 yr Author Saw a note from Joe Danneman that the wind was blowing hard enough to move the uprights around so MAYBE that played in Marv's decision to forgo the FG attempt.
September 19, 201115 yr Very encouraging. I love what I see out of the young guys. Dalton and Green both looked good today.
September 19, 201115 yr Even though they lost, I had a lot more fun cheering for these guys than I did the last 2 seasons. At least there is a lot of potential.
September 19, 201115 yr http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20110918/SPT02/309180056/Simpson-Blame-me- But what Simpson mostly was thinking about was a dropped pass with 6:49 left in the game at the Denver 26 that could have put the Bengals in position for a go-ahead field goal. The Bengals trailed 24-22 at the time and that the score they would end up losing by at Sports Authority Field. “I’m a receiver and I can catch the ball, Simpson said. “I’m supposed to make those plays. That’s my fault. I really can’t explain it. I dropped it and it was a big point in the game. I take the blame. “Blame it on me.” Simpson caught four passes for a career-high 136 yards, marking the third time in his past four regular-season games he has exceeded 120 yards. But once again a big game was marred. Simpson caught 12 passes for 123 yards in a 13-7 loss at Baltimore in the 2010 season finale but had two fumbles. “It wasn’t enough,” Simpson, who also had another dropped pass, said of his performance Sunday. “We didn’t get the win. I got to try harder. I’ve got to catch all the passes thrown my way.”
September 19, 201115 yr FYI Next weeks game will be blacked out. Yup, they're all blacked out for me this season. Have to work on Sundays this year.
