Bengals & Texans TNF

[Stillerz Bar]

Loved listening to them talk about whether or not to bench Dalton. Someone said they can't because McCarran isn't their future. No matter that AJ came closer to winning a playoff game in one try than Big Red ever did. Don't know about the rest of your but every week they stick with Andy is a plus for us.

I'd trade them both Laundry & Dobbs for McCarron.

Me too - AJ scares me way more the Andy ever did.

They had a graphic showing Dalton's last pass on 4th down was more than 13 ft high when it went over the receiver and that was from a clean pocket with no one closer that 4-5 yards. That's not want you want when the game is on the line (well..... that's what a Steelers fan wants for the Bungles but not what you want for your own team)

Bengals travel to Green Bay next week. That should be fun to watch.

[Baltostiller]

Cincy Bungles...0-2, no TD's in two games. I laugh at their sorrows.

These were two Home games without a TD. Pretty sad.

Like I said before the season, Browns aren't going to finish last in the division, and they have an shot at 2nd.

Some people's seats GOT to be "hot".

Not good news for us. I was hoping Marvin & Dalton would stick around forever

Welp...

And Teflon Marv skates....
Not to worry guys, he's going to be coaching the Bungs for a long, long time...

My asshole-pseudo-Ratbirds-fan brother would say the same about Teflon Tomlin if Haley gets shitcanned before him, like so many here have called for..

Pause and think on that for a moment...

Well, Marvin has NEVER WON A PLAYOFF GAME. Tomlin won two last year, so it's not like Mike and Marvin are comparable. And if we're talking Ratbirds, what has Harbaugh done lately that I should genuflect to him?

Also, 2008-2016, Tomlin is 13-5 against Marvin.
Harbaugh was 8-10.

[Kodiak]

I've stopped wondering, at this point, if CIN will ever fire Marv.

And I don't think it will happen if Dalton continues to regress. Mike Brown is too afraid of another bout of prolonged mediocrity to roll with a new HC and new QB.

[Scunge]

Not keeping Hue Jackson, not making him the head coach and having Marvin Lewis step down, retire, etc, will haunt this franchise for a long, long time.

[Gonzo]

The ginger popgun will haunt them for a long time
Sometimes I am right - he is awful
The longer they stick with him the better

LMAO.....you just don't nickname someone the "red rifle" with a very, very average arm


I've been calling him the "Red Ryder BB gun" since the beginning.....I think JJ Watt ripped me off

Really? I think had more to do with drafting weapons and ignoring their line.

[Scunge]

dd131005, what was one of Hue Jackson's first priorities when he came to Cleveland? He wanted to sign his former guard at Cincy, Kevin Zeitler and that is exactly what he did. This is a coach that knows how important the O-Line is to an offense.

I have a lot of respect for Jackson, I am so glad that they (Cincy) let him go. It sucks that he is with Cleveland now, so we still have to face him, but if he were in Cincy, I think he would make that team better and more of a threat to us if he were their head coach. I think he would not let things go that Lewis does, I think Jackson would have changed their culture more, things would be less bat-shit crazy, some players would be gone instead of extended, and kept year after year.

Profootballtalk reports a "near mutiny" forced Bengals coach Marvin Lewis to fire OC Ken Zampese.
A source tells PFT's Mike Florio multiple players wanted Zampese gone, including A.J. Green, who called out the playcalling following Thursday's loss. Promoting Bill Lazor to offensive coordinator is a step in the right direction, but Lewis is clearly feeling pressure after embarrassing losses to open the season. Already in lame-duck status, Lewis could be on the hot seat if he doesn't turn things around.

Bengals promoted QBs coach Bill Lazor to offensive coordinator.
It's a move that shows support for Andy Dalton, replacing fired OC Ken Zampese in favor of Dalton's position coach. Lazor's hands were tied as a short-lived OC with the Dolphins, but he was also working under offensive-minded Joe Philbin, whose affinity was for passing at all costs. At his core, Lazor's roots reside with Joe Gibbs and Chip Kelly. We would expect him to focus on feeding A.J. Green and weed Jeremy Hill out of the RBBC.

Who does Ben favor outside of the golfer?

Maybe EMR and Tomlin play our cards right and surprise people by kicking the golfer to the curb in a few weeks

Heck who saw all those training camp moves coming?

Ozzie and Harbaugh did this successfully a few yes back too

Do you expect the Steelers to fire the golfer if they have a winning record?
