[Arturo Bandini]

We have to find adjustments to net let Manziel run over the field. Dude is better than last year.

Yeah, weren't they up like 20-3 against Arizona last week at the half?

[yellowxdiscipline]

Refs are garbage so far

[TSwigZ]

If we can collapse the pockets yet have a spy on Johnny to keep him maintained we'll be way better off then letting him keep Rollin out and that's 4th time Duke has been wide open thank god Manziel missed him twice and got to him late once

[tjcase85]

Anyone can make a play when they have 34 seconds to throw. Defense is doing fine for the most part. Holding needs to be called.

[Sled21]

Well, maybe we have finally heard the last of the idiotic "run defense is better without Maualuga in there" comments.....

Just wondering.

This is exactly what Brian Billick said on NFL Sirius this morning. Said he would bench the 1st D-lineman to over-run a sack.

[packerbacker]

Bengals never lose at home. They have a great home field advantage.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Bengals need to go out there realizing holding/PI isn't getting called tonight so they need to do both while they can.

Manziel has improved a lot.

Hate to say it, but he has improved, but I'm still calling him JF Ootball..

[Joelist]

Will this finally convince the braintrust that Paulie G has to go? Making a twirp like Manziel look like Unitas?

[Beaker]

My halftime adjustments:

1. Stop missing tackles.

2. Keep manziel in the pocket...stay in your lanes and don't let him outside to extend plays.

And your point is?

Do you complain about people pointing out the obvious, like when we have a big play or score?

[tjcase85]

Lol they come out talking about Jonny football making plays lol wtf

yup

Why have rules to prevent one side from having an unfair advantage and then not call the game correctly. Cleveland's entire offense with Manziel is built to get him outside the pocket with a head start. Only way to continuously do this is to hold the DEs which they've done all game.

Clevelands entire offense is built around breaking the rules. If you don't have a problem with a lack of integrity, maybe you should find another sport. Blatant pass interference missed as well.

[*wildcats forever*]

I'm afraid the 7 - 0 start is blinding us to not see the flaws still needed to be erased. Still missing tackles like it's preseason chaps my hide royally.

[jfkbengals]

Closed hand inside Dunlap's neckline between the 9 and 6 by a lineman who is behind him.

That's a straight up hold!

Maybe tackle a ref in there sometime also...
Sorry, couldn't resist.  2nd half should be better - and we start w/ the ball!
