Painful Game
Nothing more frustrating than watching your team play like ass against an inferior squad and keep them in the ball game all day long. A defense that continues to look awful if they're not catching passes. A defensive tackle who lines up over the football jumps offsides twice to allow key first down conversions.
On top of that, a few Bengals spent significant time down on the turf getting looked at by trainers. RB Chris Perry, C Rich Braham, and S Ifeanyi Ohalete. Actually, that last one might be a good thing. He's had some bad games.
And I almost had a coniption with the offensive "strategy" on the final plays of the game. With a little less than a minute to go, the game tied, and the ball just inside the kicker's range, the playcalling bordered on idiotic. They kept throwing the ball. Not only did they risk an interception, but they really were not managing the clock well. They very easily could have left a decent amount of time for Cleveland to either comeback or take the lead.
Despite all this whining on my part, a win is a win and the AFC North is practically wrapped up. Marvin Lewis has his first winning season against the division (5-1) and the Bengals have reached double digit wins and continue to have a two game lead over the hated Steelers. Either a loss on their part or another Cinci win officially clinches the AFC North. Next week, a visit to Detroit. Hopefully, that will result in an easy win and maybe just their first trip this season to Ford Field?
I brought up the concept of ads during NFL games pandering to men last week. I bring it up again because CBS has actually shown restraint in one regard. Sure, they sex up their CSIs and put Boot Camp Babes on NCIS, but the network hadn't shown any commercials during their NFL coverage for Ghost Whisperer before today. I mean, look at that. She's built to pander! Although, Herb disputes my theory that those aren't real and the "real" Ghost Whisperer told him that she is all natural. I still remain skeptical. Anyway, I was surprised they didn't flaunt the lovely JLH before now. And even in that commercial, they spent more of it showing dead people than the hottie star. I don't even think they showed her cleavage. What is wrong with these people?!
"We need help."
"I'll say. You two should look at a mirror sometime. You look like shit run over twice."
