[Cincyfan78]

Gonna be uggly (that's right. With two G's)

Texans 16
Bengals 6

John Ross with an electric debut of a six year jet sweep before tweaking his knee again.
Deshawn Watson is made to look like a HOF in his first start and the nameless Texans TE gets his first souvenir TD ball in the game
Randy Bullock eeks two chip shot FG in...his second coming late in the game with four minutes left as Marvin plays it safe.
Geno gets a couple of sacks to create a minor stir for the fans in attendance
PAC man with a bonehead penalty in his return

 

[Cincyfan78]

1 series.

1 sack.

 

[Cincyfan78]

2nd week in a row I've seen Gio fail in blitz pickup.

Might as well go with the bigger guys in Mixon/Hill...at least they'll get in the way. Gio was run over.

 

[Cincyfan78]

A great punt by Huber, and another 3 and out, and Bengals offense again has solid position.

Let's see if they can get more positive yards this time than negative/penalty yardage.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Bernard did not get deep enough to get the 1st down. Glad he's back, but seriously unimpressed with his play from what I saw last week in the other areas outside running/catching.

Also, really like how Houston has gone with multiple OL extra to block for their running game and QB. Wouldn't suck to see that for the Bengals considering how poorly this line blocks on early downs.

Marvin winning the field position game. That's his fetish.

 

[Cincyfan78]

More penalty yards than offensive yards.

 

[Cincyfan78]

And there's Ross...

And there's Ross fumbling.

You have to laugh to keep from crying.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Texans just kicked the game winner.

 

[Be Weary of Query]

We are killing it in field position though. Marvin will be pleased.

 

[Cincyfan78]

OL actually blocked very well so Dalton could throw into triple coverage.

Thankfully, he has #18.

Big game Bullock knots it up. What a thrill.

No burned timeouts yet. I am disappointed

 

[Cincyfan78]

I swear, I think the day or two before games, Zampese pulls up Madden on the playstation, and picks out 7 plays to, and that's the game plan for the week. He has zero clue what he is doing out there.

Texans o line worse than ours? I'll take my answer off the air.

They might be.

I do like how they've come out with rolling pockets and extra blockers, though. They've had a few big plays on the ground, and missed a few more that an experienced QB probably audibles the run play to take advantage of.

More than once, Bengals have lined up shifted with no one on the outside of the extra blockers, leaving an off-tackle run wide open for the Texans.

If you're asking Craig Carton, it my be 15-20 till you get an answer...

 

[Cincyfan78]

Really need to stick with Mixon.

Another thing with Zampese....just pick a Frickin' RB.
