Dont let this win fool you

[Cheese]

Lets be honest we shouldve lost the game and it probably shouldnt have been close. Dalton played a great game but his receivers kept dropping passes. Aj Green never drops passes but he drops one on the slant inside the 10 that woulve been a walk in touchdown and they have to settle for a field goal. There were also a number of critical drive stallers on third downs.

Even their defense dropped shouldve been interceptions. Newman but he always did that. Clements. And someone else so there was at least three.

The Bengals had a case of the Cowboys where they simply found a way to lose. Dont get me wrong wins are hard to come by and you take them how you can. Just dont think with this win were somehow going to turn in a run to the postseason.

The Bengals played worse than we did, but Tony, Dez, and Murray came through. We won't do anything this year, but it was a good win.

Newman probably was fortunate he wasnt flagged for PI on the one he "dropped". Looked like he just pushed Harris down from behind.

Stuff happens all the time, its what makes the difference between W's and L's in this league. Most games are close, the teams that make fewer mistakes usually win. Its why we are 7-6 instead of 9-4 or 10-3, too many mistakes.

I didn't think it looked like a push, more of a tangle.

Their whole secondary dropped passes left and right.

As did Green. Had he hung on to that slant, he's walking in as Danny McCray was setting a perfect block on two Dallas defenders.

I wasn't fooled after week 1

That was another one an obvious penalty was missed. Go back and watch the block the bengals WR puts on Mike Jenkins before Green drops the ball.

We made plays and they didn't. Gtfover it.

Maybe we dont win another game all year but they needed that one after this week and they went out and earned it.

Basically my thoughts. We found a way to win. We had a number of dropped passes to, or passes behind receivers, etc. We found a way to win and it felt good.

 

[superpunk]

I mean we were trotting out dbs I've never heard of, giving significant safety time to frampton who then got hurt, losing the backups to our backup lbs, and we still found a way to beat one of the hottest teams in the league, in their house, after losing players tragically.

If you can't appreciate that, even just for a day, you're a fucking ******.
