***Wk 17 GameDay Thread...Ravens @ Bengals***

[masonbengals fan]

Same weak links plaguing us again today.

Kirpatrick
Tate
Bodine
O-line as a whole

I thought I read where that was one of our strengths.

Only down by a FG. Fruity drama queens

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Remember that time the Bengals offense looked like hot garbage before the snap under Dalton? Yeah, me neither.

If you were looking to teach a class called "Shit McCarron Can't Do 101", this first half would be all you would need. He's gunning it hard on 3 yard passes, underthrew Burkhead when he had his guy beat, holding it too long while the Ravens are blitzing, the OL isn't getting checks and updated blocking assignments or blitz warnings...

..it's ugly. Really ugly. The Broncos showed the blueprint to beat McCarron with their second half adjustments and now every team knows how. Sorry Alabama fanboys/girls. Time to bring in Tiger Blood and see if he can read NFL defenses/run NFL offenses.

I agree, especially because we were owning the whole league earlier in the season.

Well, here's the coaching staff's big chance to show they can snap the team out of playing flat. Not sure how many remember but back in the horrid 90s we had a game against the Stealers and the OL was letting Jeff Blake get creamed nonstop. Coslet took a timeout, pulled the linemen to the side and basically questioned what they had between their legs.

After that little meeting Blake was untouched the rest of the game and we won (a rare event to be sure).

The o line looked good all year because of Andy's quick release

[masonbengals fan]

Ravens are making plays like they want to win. Sadly we are not.

We look very Marvin-esque today aka horrible.

We always will as long as he is here.

Field position is dictating a lot of that.

What the hell has Tate done wrong

[reuben.ahmed]

Reception? Geeze everything is being caught.

[Stonyhands]

This whole line is playing like absolute dogshit. That was a 5 man rush with 6 blockers and pretty much every rusher got to the QB. What kills me about this team is that there is zero accountability.

These coordinators and position coaches aren't going anywhere. A division Championship means everybody is safe. Another year and more excuses.

[CageTheBengal]

The game feels so much longer when the team plays like dirt.

Anyone who doesn't miss Andy Dalton yet?

[masonbengals fan]

That ball should be Rey's

[Arturo Bandini]

Jets are choking big at the moment.

[Pat5775]

Well I'm off the McCarron bandwagon... Dude is hot garbage

Also Dalton is *VERY* good pre-snap, so he's excellent at updating blocking assignments and identifying the blitz. It helps blockers a lot.

And it's not even AJM fault.

Pulling it down instead of pulling the trigger, under throwing Burkhead, and drilling 5 yard throws have aided this.

He is just as much at fault as the rest of the offense.  In fact, some of those holds on the line might not have happened had the ball been released quicker.
