AFC Wildcard: Bengals at Texans Gamethread

[Ari Gold]

Bengals win 17-13

[4>0rings]

This game is going to be like watching a gay man throwing a drink in another gay mans face. Either way, GO TEXANS!

[benefactor]

Defense gets the job done...offense does just enough.

20-13 Texans.

[Pelicans78]

If this game wasn't on the same day as the Saints game, I was gonna go. I was hoping it would have been tomorrow.

I think Texans win. 17-13

[shyne]

Texans win 21-10, fans better bring their ear plugs today. Dre will abuse their corners opening huge running lanes for foster.

It'll be pick city if Booby Boucher gets in the game tbh

[Blake]

Bengals 6
Texans 3

[DeadlyDynasty]

The more I think about this game the more I'm looking forward to it. Imo it's the hardest game to pick of wildcard weekend. Two rookie qbs, good young defenses, playmakers on both sides...just good stuff all around

[weebo]

The Texans have two things going for them they didn't have the last time they beat the Bengals,AJ and homefield. Texans take this one 24-13.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I don't see how they win it but I'm hoping the Bengals win. That should be an easy win for New England in the next round.

F U in D A

[VBM]

Andre Johnson goes for a hundo and a TD. Texans roll...

[DeadlyDynasty]

I wanna see AJ Green and Andre Johnson have big games...other than that I couldn't care less who wins

[DeadlyDynasty]

ugh...I fucking hate Mike Mayock

[benefactor]

A grown man should never wear that much makeup...ever.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Yeah like I said idk how Cinci wins. This is how Starvin' Marvin Lewis teams work when they enter the season with no expectations; they start off well, limp into the playoffs, then get killed. This year is no different. They're 3-5 in their last 8 games and have tons of inexperience. They might actually be able to build on this season because they don't have so many bad attitudes anymore, but I'd be very surprised if they beat Houston.

Btw- can anyone remember a playoff game that featured two rookie QBs, neither one of which was taken in the 1st round? I sure as hell can't.

[blkroadrunners]

Hmm.. this is a toss-up for me..W/e

Texans 16
Bengals 13

[VBM]

Where's Gus Johnson when you need him...

[VBM]

Oh, and 24 - 20, Texans.

[LakerHater]

Texans 24
Bengals 17

[LakerHater]

Nice fumble recovery!

[VBM]

Andre should have caught that

[DeadlyDynasty]

Matt Turk is still in the league?:lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Why the fuck is Jake Delhomme playing?


Does Kubiak not remember how much of an abortion the last playoff game he played in was?

[benefactor]

Wow...Dalton looks like Matt Bonner.

[VBM]

Wow...Dalton looks like Matt Bonner.

Dalton fucking up wide-open throws just like Bonner with 3s in the playoffs

[benefactor]

Jacoby Jones makes me crazy. Dude takes it a long way if he just runs straight up field instead of thinking he is Barry Sanders.

[benefactor]

Dalton fucking up wide-open throws just like Bonner with 3s in the playoffs
Guess it's a ginger thing.

[benefactor]

Good to have you back, Andre.

[benefactor]

Shit...don't do that kiddo.

[LakerHater]

Damn Yates!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Both QB's have happy feet, but it's expected...

[benefactor]

Looks like it's going to be ugly. One team making a big play may be the difference.

[Bill_Brasky]

God this faggy lisp announcer is annoying as fuck. How the fuck are you gonna give that job to a guy with a speech impediment?

[DeadlyDynasty]

beautiful play-action set-up by Cincy...bailed out by penalty tho

[VBM]

Need a pick

[DeadlyDynasty]

God this faggy lisp announcer is annoying as fuck. How the fuck are you gonna give that job to a guy with a speech impediment?


ugh...I fucking hate Mike Mayock

[benefactor]

Dammit Quin.

[DPG21920]

Legit call tbh

[Bill_Brasky]

beautiful play-action set-up by Cincy...bailed out by penalty tho

Yeah didn't really think that was a good call.

[benefactor]

Great play call. They overran it badly.

[DeadlyDynasty]

here comes benson

[VBM]

Dammit...






oh, and hook 'em

[blkroadrunners]

Cincinasty on the board

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Yeah didn't really think that was a good call.
PI calls have been ridiculous in the NFL this year but that happened to be the right call.

[Bill_Brasky]

The PI call set it all up. Replay was a little clearer though, he hooked him a bit.

[benefactor]

Yeah didn't really think that was a good call.
It would agree more if he was looking back at the ball. You reach in looking a the receiver they are gonna call it.

[VBM]

The PI call set it all up. Replay was a little clearer though, he hooked him a bit.

yeah, that was a TD if he didn't grab that arm

[DeadlyDynasty]

Texans need to take some shots with Dre now...isn't Leon Hall on IR?

[BUMP]

tbh i predicted Cincy in a blowout.

Texans have looked like shit since they clinched the division

[Bill_Brasky]

It would agree more if he was looking back at the ball. You reach in looking a the receiver they are gonna call it.

Yup the slowmo replay changed my mind. Good call.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Having a safety matched up on an island with AJ Green is playing with fire tbh, they should have Joseph shadowing him the entire game.

[benefactor]

tbh i predicted Cincy in a blowout.

Texans have looked like shit since they clinched the division
The guys Wade left in charge were pretty shitty tbh.

[VBM]

Shoulda been a late hit on PacMan

[benefactor]

lol pacman

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

THAT n!gga Pacman fucking up :lol

[LakerHater]

C'mon!

[Bill_Brasky]

Now that call I don't like.

[DeadlyDynasty]

that defenseless receiver rule is ehhhhhhhhh....

He has the ball, you should be allowed to hit him

[benefactor]

Foster getting some rhythm.

[weebo]

Foster taking over this series.

[LakerHater]

2 fumbles!

[benefactor]

I've hated that rule since they put it in. I'll take the yards...but it's still dumb.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

that defenseless receiver rule is ehhhhhhhhh....

He has the ball, you should be allowed to hit him
No kidding. Holding onto the ball after the catch is supposed to be a part of football.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Good game so far

[LakerHater]

Did he do a Hakeem Olajuwan fake?

[Bill_Brasky]

that defenseless receiver rule is ehhhhhhhhh....

He has the ball, you should be allowed to hit him

Tbh it seemed like the DB made an effort not to go for the head and laid a good shoulder into Daniels' chest, he popped right up from the hit.

Great running from Foster.

[weebo]

keep pounding that ball and we're good

[DeadlyDynasty]

You just know Ravens fans want the Bengals to lose:lol

[benefactor]

Good, solid drive. The running game must keep dictating the Texans possessions if they plan on winning.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

You just know Ravens fans want the Bengals to lose:lol
If the Bengals lose but Denver wins I'd be ecstatic tbh

[DeadlyDynasty]

damn...Kelly Clarkson is a heifer

[benefactor]

You just know Ravens fans want the Bengals to lose:lol
I wouldn't want to face that defense if Flacco was my QB either.

[DeadlyDynasty]

If the Bengals lose but Denver wins I'd be ecstatic tbh

crofl...2 bye weeks in a row imo

[DeadlyDynasty]

I wouldn't want to face that defense if Flacco was my QB either.

It's no diss on the Texans brah, but you know the Steelers are still in Baltimore's head despite the sweep this year.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I like the short passes with Dalton & Green...building their confidence up early with multiple completions/receptions

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Joseph should be in bump and run coverage with Green on every play, idk why they're giving Green 10 yards of cushion.

[Bill_Brasky]

AJ Green....

[DeadlyDynasty]

They're lining Green up everywhere...wide left, right, and in the slot. Good stuff.

[VBM]

Joseph should be in bump and run coverage with Green on every play, idk why they're giving Green 10 yards of cushion.

Too scared of him blowing by him, tbh

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Too scared of him blowing by him, tbh
Then bring safety help over the top. The way that quarter went they need to force Dalton to throw to someone else tbh.

[benefactor]

Pass rush not getting there so far. That's a big part of what they do. Texans need to put Dalton on his back so he has to think a little more when he's back there.

[weebo]

where's the d??

[VBM]

Then bring safety help over the top. The way that quarter went they need to force Dalton to throw to someone else tbh.

Can't roll safety help away from Kareem Jackson's side when he's in there...recipe for disaster

[DeadlyDynasty]

Pass rush not getting there so far. That's a big part of what they do. Texans need to put Dalton on his back so he has to think a little more when he's back there.

To be fair he's primarily only doing 3-step drops and getting the ball out fast.

[LakerHater]

Did he do a Hakeem Olajuwan fake?

Got your wish, and on a big down too. Nice play.

[DeadlyDynasty]

ask and you shall receive, bene:lol

Bad sack on Dalton...cost his team a shorter fg

[benefactor]

Well there it is. :)

[VBM]

Big stop by Houston. Take a shot with Andre on this drive.

[benefactor]

Big stop by Houston. Take a shot with Andre on this drive.
Agreed. They need to air it out at least once on this next drive.

[Warlord23]

I expected Cincy to be all over Houston, but it's been a very even game so far. If the Texans QB can step up, they are in business

[benefactor]

Ugly possession.

[DeadlyDynasty]

token black guy in a commercial...do a shot!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Texans need to do what Bengals are doing with Dalton right now...quick drops, short throws, get the kid some confidence...Yates looks scared still

[DeadlyDynasty]

wtf Marvin...really? way to waste a challenge, even if you do win. DUMB

[benefactor]

Dumb challenge this early in the game.

[VBM]

Watching Yates and Dalton muddle their way through this game makes me that much more hyped for Brees/Stafford tonight.

[benefactor]

Texans need to do what Bengals are doing with Dalton right now...quick drops, short throws, get the kid some confidence...Yates looks scared still
A screen would be nice...since they do have one of the best open field running backs in the league.

[benefactor]

lol Marvin

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Starvin' Marvin's first fuck up today

[LakerHater]

Donald Lee has a GREAT run, then coughs it up!!

[benefactor]

Horrible fucking call.

[LakerHater]

Wheres the late hit!?!?

[benefactor]

Bend but don't break. I'll take it.

[Warlord23]

Gotta give props to Wade Phillips ... he may have been Jerrah's favorite punching bag, but he can coach some defense

[weebo]

If I'm Kubiak, I give Yates this drive to make something happen or I'm sitting his ass down.

[benefactor]

Play calling hasn't been the greatest so far tbh.

[VBM]

Play calling hasn't been the greatest so far tbh.

Kubiak with shoddy playcalling?!? Nah...

[weebo]

Play calling hasn't been the greatest so far tbh.

Could it be that Kubiak doesn't trust Yates enough to open up the play book? After all, he is a rookie.

[weebo]

Can someone please get Andre the ball???

[LakerHater]

That was a pic!

[weebo]

both hands are on the ball and he's down....texans ball

[VBM]

This announcer's a dumbass...yeah he controlled that

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

This is why you don't waste a challenge on a 3rd and 1 in the 1st quarter

[LakerHater]

Down, control & contacted.... Texans ball.

[DeadlyDynasty]

they try so hard to make Danica Patrick hot

[benefactor]

Thank you Marvin for being a dumbass.

[benefactor]

lol Marvin

[DeadlyDynasty]

Marvin can't blame Kimo von Oelhoffen for this loss...

[VBM]

they try so hard to make Danica Patrick hot

Carano > Danica

[lefty]

Stupid challenge IMO

[VBM]

Foster almost broke that

[benefactor]

Foster is so damn good.

[LakerHater]

ugly ass throw

[weebo]

get andre the ball please

[weebo]

thank you

[DeadlyDynasty]

Dre is back!

[benefactor]

Andre with the grown man catch.

[weebo]

perosnal foul on cincy

[benefactor]

Good call...horrible execution.

[LakerHater]

WoW, good job ref!

[VBM]

Surprised Andre didn't pull that down

[benefactor]

Yeah...it would have been tough catch but it he definitely could have made it.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Ginger has wheels!

[VBM]

Watt a play!

[LakerHater]

What a fuckin pic!!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

uh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[blkroadrunners]

JJ Watt's da man

[Bill_Brasky]

Det defense!

[benefactor]

Woooo!!!!!!!

KillaWatt bitches!!!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

damn, amazing catch

[benefactor]

Took it out of the air like a fucking boss. That was awesome.

[Bill_Brasky]

Holy shit that was insane.

[benefactor]

LH...I'm going to need a gif. :)

[weebo]

That one has to hurt the bungles...

Yup women just aren't capable of being funny. It's an evolutionary thing.

And I agree Whitney needs to die. Can't stand that cunt.

lol Foster. He falls down and still bukkakes the Bengals D.

[LakerHater]

91 yrds for Foster

[LakerHater]

WOOOOW Crocker!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

Bengals better pray that they hold them w/o points here...their defense is tiring and they'll get a heavy dose of Foster and Tate in the 4th.

Dodged a huge bullet there.
