Great stuff on CBS pregame show about the Bungles this AM. Boomer saying Marvin and Carson being PC by not calling out 85 and TO for their on field lapses and that he "knows for a fact" that Palmer is extremely frustrated by their play.

Of course the stats point to Palmer being the one that ought to be embarrassed with his own play.

Here we go the weekly Turner no show!! I hope not. Anyone watching?? Why did Snelling get the carry at the 3?? And then a throw. Is this going to be another disappointing day for Turner??

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Ryan to Finneran for TD. White had 2 recs including a 46 yard one that was a short cross and mostly White running with nice blocking from Douglas. Falcons seem to want to change up their style and be less predicable so far.

Maybe b/c he is better than Turner....

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Matt Ryan is throwing the bullets today.

anyone watching the game, reports of white inj. Possilbe Eye?

First thing I've heard about it. He's out there on series 2 though.

KK TY it was a rapid report on CBS.

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Benson stoned for the first two times near the goalline

 

[mcdons3]

Who was the target on the pass interference?

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Falcons D holds after PI puts the ball on the 5. 2 run stuffs and an incomplete pass.

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

and another terrible throw by Palmer. I feel bad for that guy, he went down the crapper too early in his career.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Who was the target on the pass interference?

Shipley

Didn't see anything or hear anything from announcers but from Falcons twitter:

INJURY UPDATE: FB Ovie Mughelli left the game in 1st quarter with hamstring injury. Return questionable

Running game just took a hit

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

For those in KR leagues - Quan Cosby got earholed trying to make a tackle. I think he returns kicks for Cincy, at least he used to. Left under his own power.

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

wow... cant' defend that

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Roddy White had a great one handed catch downfield

Turner just ran for about 15 around the left hand side

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Drive stalls and Atl goes back up 7 with a 45 yd FG. The loss of Mughelli is being countered by more 3 WR sets it seems.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Falcons D TD from Benson fumble but should be overturned from lack of catch

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

I'd call that a fumble

 

[bleachercreacher]

I'd call that a fumble

It's close. If he was going out of bounds it wouldn't be a catch because of the slight bobble. I don't know what is and what isn't a catch now days though.

slo mo shows him having 2 hands on the ball with him taking a football move.

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

heh.. overturned

 

[TS Garp]

Moral of the story: don't throw the ball to Benson.

 

[otello]

right call

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Moral of the story: don't throw the ball to Benson.

Benson is paying for that one - he's on the sidelines as the Cincy O is back out

 

[Jestefarean]

Is Lofton playing?

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Is Lofton playing?

Think he was the one that forced the non-fumble

 

[Michael Brown]

It was third and long, and if I'm not mistaken he's rarely in on those situations. Oh, and that was absolutely the right call. Not sure what Gus and Tasker are talking about with this bad call business. Benson never had full possession of the ball!

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

White is dominating this game

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Oh, and that was absolutely the right call. Not sure what Gus and Tasker are talking about with this bad call business. Benson never had full possession of the ball!

This is incorrect

Tyvm

 

[Master of Past and Present]

3rd and 1 and Ryan goes play action deep to White. Bobble and then catch for TD!

ETA: White was going to the ground when the bobble and then catch came making it more difficult.

 

[Mello]

Roddy!

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Oh, and that was absolutely the right call. Not sure what Gus and Tasker are talking about with this bad call business. Benson never had full possession of the ball!

This is incorrect

Would have loved to see the D get that TD but I would have been shocked if that stood.

I personally think he held possession of the ball and it should've been a fumble. However, by the catch/no catch rules they go by now it clearly isn't a catch. He caught it and then both hands came off the ball and he "caught" it again. Because of this bobble it wasn't a catch.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Finally sent some major pressure to get a sack. Need more of that cause the secondary just can't stick to those guys the whole game.

 

[Slevin Kelevra]

Should Carson Palmer be benched ???

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Snelling playing some FB in place of Mughelli, may mean more carries for Turner since his back-up is already playing.

And what a run by Turner!

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Should Carson Palmer be benched ???

For his own protection? Yes. For the Bengals? No, they don't have anyone better.

 

[knowledge dropper]

I wonder who will be the HC in Cincy next season?

 

[bleachercreacher]

Should Carson Palmer be benched ???

They don't have anyone else. Their backup is Jordan Palmer and he is awful. Mike Brown is too loyal to cut him outright, so we are probably stuck with him for the rest of his contract. He looks like a shell of himself and I don't see him getting it back.

 

[bleachercreacher]

I wonder who will be the HC in Cincy next season?

They won't make a change. If they do I hope they promote Zimmer.

 

[ROBOPUNTER]

Dumb set of plays for the Falcons here

 

[togo]

Snelling playing some FB in place of Mughelli, may mean more carries for Turner since his back-up is already playing.And what a run by Turner!

Well I seee the next 4 touches after Turner's big run went the other RB's. Snelling 3 and 1 by Johnson. What he have to sit out after his big run or was he in there after??

 

[mr roboto]

Why no looks to Gresham for Cincy? I can't watch the game.

He's been out since that run.

Last year of Marvin's contract. No way he gets an extension.
