Cincinnati Bengals @ Houston Texans. 1/5. 3:30. **Official Wildcard GameDay Thread**

[ObsiWan]

Dumb penalties costing us.

Steph told us that was a major part of our slump. They gotta stop.

 

[BeerTastesLikeVictory]

not sure if it was that bad of a call. It looked to me if Schaub would have led foster on the pass he could have turned up the middle into the EZ. Foster had to slow down to catch the ball.

 

[Showtime100]

3rd and goal at the 11. I smell a run, at most a 5-yard pass good for 8-9 yards.

If a stab at the endzone happens, I eat great tasting crow.

In fairness though, I would rather play it safe than risk an INT in the end zone. Otoh, there are safe end zone passes.

Steph told us that was a major part of our slump. They gotta stop.

Don't need anyone telling me that. Plain as day.

 

[Goodwrench3]

This game is not over. Throw deep to Green

Are you a Texans fan???????

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

I say that we put our starter QB in as "gunner" to improve our STs.

 

[ObsiWan]

:kubepalm:


here we go again with the conservative play not to lose instead of playing to win mentality.

4th and 1 in the middle of the field and you punt the ball.

fans booed it and rightfully so.

and now another field goal.

no killer instinct whatsoever.


How are we suppose to beat new england with this type of mentality?

:kubepalm:

Never pass up an opportunity for points.
If they had gone for it on 4th down and failed, then what would you have said??

 

[TheMatrix31]

No problem playing conservative in this case. Make it a two score game. One TD for them if we didn't get 3 and they'd have the lead.

 

[Wolf6151]

I'm tired of field goals but that was the right call here to go up by 9 points.

 

[Showtime100]

Don't need anyone telling me that. Plain as day.

He just agreed with you.

 

[Mr. Texan]

Never pass up an opportunity for points.
If they had gone for it on 4th down and failed, then what would you have said??

some people complain just to complain

 

[WolverineFan]

Have to throw that into the endzone.

Oh well, if we win, maybe we can beat the Pats 30-28 with 10 Graham field goals.

It might take us 10 drives to score 30 points but you give Brady and NE 10 drives and they're scoring a lot more than 28.

 

[gafftop]

Kubiak might as well hang a big sign over the goal post "In Schaub, we don't trust."

He knows MS capabilities. My big question is why extend him 4 years

Loyalty deal I guess

 

[disaacks3]

I say that we put our starter QB in as "gunner" to improve our STs.

Ouch, sadly funny though.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

In fairness though, I would rather play it safe than risk an INT in the end zone. Otoh, there are safe end zone passes.

It's called a fade........every team except us use it routinely, especially when they have receiver like AJ.

 

[Señor Stan]

Ya know, I don't like to call 'em field goals. I prefer calling them half touchdowns.

- Gary Kubiak

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Never pass up an opportunity for points.
If they had gone for it on 4th down and failed, then what would you have said??

we were inthe middle of the field and the way the defense is playing id take my chances for one yard and even if we dont make it the defense has shown it can hold its own.

high risk, high reward.

no guts, no glory.

 

[The Third Man]

4th down.

 

[OzzO]

Barwin celebrating a slow down of the run.... why not make the tackle instead?

 

[TheMatrix31]

Bad spot, IMO

 

[Showtime100]

Wow. Cincy was 11/16 on 4th down, now 12/17. Good for 4th in the league. Not bad.

 

[Uncle Rico]

cushing makes that play on ellis

 

[The Third Man]

Jackson made a hell of a hit there.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

we were inthe middle of the field and the way the defense is playing id take my chances for one yard and even if we dont make it the defense has shown it can hold its own.

high risk, high reward.

no guts, no glory.

If we by some chance win this week, we won't next week with the FG mentality.

 

[TheMatrix31]

He just agreed with you.

Uh, yeah, I know.

 

[Mailman]

Tremendous play, KJ!

 

[Mr. Texan]

kareem ****ing jackson

 

[OzzO]

Nice tag by KJax

 

[Goodwrench3]

Nice play J Jo

 

[The Third Man]

Joseph is playing great.

 

[Showtime100]

Uh, yeah, I know.

Lol, uh, ok.

 

[Mailman]

I celebrate good tackles. No more Jacksonville garbage please.

 

[Uncle Rico]

we're punishing green's ass. he's dragging himself off the dirt after those big shots.

 

[The Third Man]

It's time for a long, game ending touchdown drive by the Texans.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

He's money.

 

[mariowillshine15]

Run the ball, run the clock, get some points, ball game.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Lol, uh, ok.

What's your problem with what I said? You clearly have one.

 

[ObsiWan]

Since when is the enemy's 6 yd line considered "the middle of the field"??
:wadepalm:

 

[WolverineFan]

Joseph is playing great.

Agree. Gave up the big pass to Green but has been stellar outside of that one play.

Green has 9 targets and only 4 grabs. 1 of those targets was picked.

 

[Wolf6151]

It's time for an Arian Foster breakout run for a TD.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Time of Pos. B 17:40 T 33:17

and only a 6 point game.......pathetic.

 

[ObsiWan]

If we by some chance win this week, we won't next week with the FG mentality.

Oh yea of little faith.

 

[76Texan]

This game is not over. Throw deep to Green

HAHAHaHa.

Look at Green getting lit up!

 

[keyser]

Since when is the enemy's 6 yd line considered "the middle of the field"??
:wadepalm:

I think he was talking about the 4th and 1 at midfield (right near the 50) on the earlier drive. Not that I agree with him. Punting is not bad in that situation.

 

[Nawzer]

Here comes another commercial!

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Oh yea of little faith.

And I was sure I hid it from you!:mariopalm:

 

[Showtime100]

What's your problem with what I said? You clearly have one.

Actually, you are right. You are being snarky and that is just you and through no fault of your own, I don't like you. No kidding here.

I'll leave you alone.

GO TEXANS!!

 

[ObsiWan]

It's time for an Arian Foster breakout run for a TD.

Speaking of RBs, where's Tate?
