***Week 6 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Colts***

[Bengalstripes9]

That was a fun game to watch. You could tell the Colts were the better team though. They responded well to being down 21-0 and dominated the rest of the way pretty much.

A couple poor play calls late in the game. 1st and ten before 2 minute warning. Lets run the ball because we get a free timeout. Colts see it coming and now we fall behind in the down and distance. Still overcome it and get the first on 3rd and 10, but not good for momentum. 3rd and 1 running it with the fullback. Pre snap it just didn't look like it would work--it doesn't, we miss the field goal on 4th down.

Burrow had a good game but he can't throw that pick at the end. I thought overall we took our foot off the gas in the second and third quarters and stopped attacking the defense. Only managed 6 points after quarter one. As bad as the defense played letting them back in the game, the offense let them back in it. They got shut down after the 1st quarter. How they can go from making it look easy to excruciatingly hard is unfortunate. A team really looking for consistency.

Overall this looks like a promising young team--but an inexperienced team with a lot to learn.
