[Big Papi]

Well that was quick - Cincy's ST and D already letting them down this week.

7-0 Seattle less than 2 minutes in

 

[ThinGrayLine]

Rudi you're killing me

 

[Lauryn]

cincy's d

 

[knowledge dropper]

The Bengals special teams just aren't very special

 

[Big Papi]

Great catch by TJ for what looked like a TD but...

> holding by the offensive line

> called on the field that he was out of bounds - but likely would have been challenged and overruled

 

[Big Papi]

Bengals just look sloppy so far. 2 false starts and a holding penalty on the offense

TD TJ though

Chad with a little bit of a pick on the play, but didn't get called. TJ was WIDE open - easy TD catch

7-7

 

[broncofan13000]

CJ just picked the defender and allowed TJ to be wide open for the TD catch

 

[Big Papi]

Fumble on the kickoff, but SEA managed to keep it

 

[Big Papi]

Bengals D looking good against the run so far...but they also kept Jamal Lewis bottled up early on last week and we all saw how that turned out.

SEA's WRs keep getting wide open and making catches. The Bengals DBs look horrible

 

[Big Papi]

Housh with a nice catch in traffic, but then fumbled the ball as he was trying to get some extra yards

 

[Big Papi]

Very next play is a ball that gets tipped and the Bengals get an INT of their own!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Is Trufant lining up against anyone in particular or to a side? Is Jennings covering Housh?

 

[cubbie5150]

Is Alexander getting any carries?

He's been covering Chad every time I've seen him.

 

[Big Papi]

Is Alexander getting any carries?

Yep, just not productive...yet

 

[Big Papi]

Bengals drive stalls out, but they get a FG

10-7 Cincy

Can someone watching the game give me a little overview of what's going on with the Bengals running game?

Thanks. That's what I figured.

Rudi's been relatively ineffective - he had a decent run or two, but nothing great so far. SEA has done a good job of getting penetration and putting pressure on Rudi

Tipped off both hands by a wide open TE. I bet sometimes he doesn't feel bad at throwing them a ball that sets them up for a big hit. The dropsies are a permanent fixture of his game. Dunno why.

Once they get up by two scores we'll really gett to see rudi. He hasnt really had that opportunity all year.

 

[Big Papi]

And ANOTHER false start by Cincy

 

[Big Papi]

SEA is just owning the line of scrimmage against the run. Cincy counters that with a sweet screen pass to Rudi for ~35 yards

 

[trogg78]

great screen to rudi. I would like to see more of that.

 

[Big Papi]

great screen to rudi. I would like to see more of that.

if the Bengals aren't having success with the run, they'll have to mix in the screen a bit more or else SEA will sellout against the pass and keep putting Palmer into the ground

 

[Big Papi]

Deltha O'Neal should have had a pick. Hasselbeck threw a bad pass right to him and he just dropped it. Crap

 

[Big Papi]

Michael Myers has been a great acquisition for the Bengals. He's been one of the more effective defenders for the Bengals this game (just had a sack on 3rd down)

 

[Big Papi]

Palmer throws an INT that looks pretty similar to the one that ended last week's game. Man - just when the Bengals are getting some momentum with their D, they give it away with a turnover

 

[bostonfred]

13 rushes for -3 yards? Is that right?

 

[Big Papi]

Caleb Miller hurt, but walking off the field on his own. He'll be missing some plays, so the Bengals already thin LB crew is going to be even weaker for a while. That can't be a good thing

 

[Big Papi]

13 rushes for -3 yards? Is that right?

Yeah, there are a good handful of negative rushes in there

 

[Big Papi]

TD bomb to Branch.

14-10

Branch with a simple post route and just outran Jonathan Joseph. Poor D, again

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Branch again, having a good week.

 

[Big Papi]

2 drops in a row for Chad, both would have been 1st downs

On the first one, he just didn't put the ball away, lost his shoe, and stepped out of bounds

The second one was thrown behind him, but he still got his hands on it

 

[Big Papi]

Alexander looks like he reinjured his hand on the last run - he was on the sideline grimacing and holding his wrapped up hand

 

[bew3994]

anyone seen marcus pollard playing?

 

[Big Papi]

anyone seen marcus pollard playing?

He was the intended receiver on the Hasselbeck INT

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Reinjured? Had he injured it earlier? Obvious but I missed that. Update anything on this please. Not an owner, but a fan. TIA.

He injured it in week 1 I believe. He's been playing with it wrapped/braced

 

[ffguru56]

Umm, Rudi better get his head out of his ### and produce something! I've glaced through this but is he playing like crap or is Seattle doing well at stuffing him?

Yeah that was a minor injury barely discussed. Seahawks don't have Maurice Morris today either. Ugh.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

“We’re being real careful with that. He sprained his wrist. He feels good. He feels really good about playing with that thing. He feels better so they’re going to rig something up for him during the game; allow him to play. He’s limited slightly with that thing. It’s different. Let me put it that way. He has to get used to it a little bit. It’s a cast, a small cast. I think it does affect him, certainly, but I told him, ‘Hey, maybe we put a cast on the other hand and things will get better. I don’t know.’ Seriously, anytime a running back or receiver has to wear one of those it’s different.”

From Seahawks Insider after week one. Guess I just muffed the punt on thinking he was fine.

 

[Big Papi]

Alexander is back and in the game

 

[Big Papi]

Safety by the Bengals!!!

 

[Sinrman]

13 rushes for -3 yards? Is that right?

Now it's 14 rushes for -3 yards. My dear God.... line of the year!

 

[Big Papi]

Illegal formation for the Bengals. I think that's 5 procedure calls against the offense so far in the game. Gotta be more disciplined than that!

 

[Big Papi]

Palmer got popped as he throws the ball...right to Russell for SEA

 

[mad sweeney]

Loving the new safeties. Russell faced these guys twice a year for Cleveland and knows how to play them. Trufant has done a good job at keeping CJ from going crazy.

 

[John Black]

The Bungles are back!
