I just don't understand why they don't just come out and throw the ball to loosen up the defense, wouldn't this allow them to run the ball later on when the linebackers and safeties are forced to move off the line and then utlize the play action passes and bootleg? Seems like they are being stupid stubborn with the offense and not willing to morph it to fit the team this year.
I also have a good feeling about this game, based on a pretty strong 2nd half last week. That said, they could lose 30-3. I would not bet any money on or against the Texans.
A guy my buddie uses to make his vegas picks has the Bengals winning this game. This guy has only missed 4 games so far this year.
I seriously doubt he's picking all the games (if money is involved). He's probably hand-selecting a different number of games to bet on each week ... for all we know he picks two games a week. In that case he'd be 6-4. Ha.
Yeah seems like kub doesnt' want to stick with what is working and work on the run game here and there so i looks like we will be getting a new head coach if he pulls the same stuff and we loose this game
Brandon Funston (Yahoo Hack) also has us losing, but he is 37-7 on the year so far..... http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/nfl/news?slug=bf-skinny_09week6 Prediction: Cincinnati 23, Houston 17
Ofcourse the Texans will loss. It'll be a winnable game be Kubiak will find a way to be outcoached...
Bengals didn't sell out before the Thursday deadline. They've been granted a 24 hour extension or the game will be blacked out in Cincy. http://cnati.com/cincinnati-bengals/notes-bengals-get-an-extension-00469/
Denver: Brandon Marshall - 4 receptions, 27 yards Green Bay: Donald Driver - 6 receptions, 99 yards, 1 TD Pittsburgh: Hines Ward - 4 receptions, 82 yards Cleveland: Braylon Edwards - 0 receptions, 0 yards Baltimore: Derrick Mason - 0 receptions, 0 yards So they've held down the opposing teams best receiver in the last 2 games. I'll give them credit for the Ravens game, but Edwards had been struggling and getting frustrated in Cleveland and Massaquoi went off for 148 yards in that game. I don't know what to make of the numbers, but Edwards was thrown at 5 times and Mason was thrown at only once. Overall, Cincy is 23rd in the league against the pass giving up 229 ypg.
Given what you're saying, I'm excited as I have KevWalt on my fantasy team. Owen as well. Matt should have a big game.......again.
Driver, and Ward aren't the #1 receivers for their team. Jennings and Holmes. Hopefully Andre can break this...
The only reason the NFL makes so much money is the TV deals. I think this rule is stupid in this day and age. Its just NFL owners being greedy.
If we get the ball to andre and od as much as possible we should win. But the Texans "should" win a lot of the games we lose.
Anybody who says we should win against a 4-1 team that has just beaten the Ravens and Steelers is delusional. We are certainly capable of winning, as we are against anybody, but I'm not going to be as disappointed if we lose this compared to losing to a team like Jacksonville or the Raiders.
