Leinart back in the locker room, having an injury checked out. Rookie T.J. Yates running the two minute offense - Houston’s 3rd stringer. He actually looks pretty good! Though just been penalised for 10 yards on intentional grounding on 1st and Goal - in fairness, he’d driven them there to start with, with 3/4 on his first 4 attempts.
If Leinart is gone though, Houston are in all kinds of trouble.
Houston settle for a FG. 20-10 up at the half.
That Bengal flopping after the Dalton fumble was one for the ages. Sad there wasn’t a good replay
Son of a…
The flag thrown 6 second after the int for a pre throw hold was sick. At least it didn’t matter.
The Bengals look awful. Lets see what the second half brings. This year’s Bengals make good halftime adjustments and usually play really well when they are down.
Wow, and the worst effort of the year award goes to Chris Johnson on that INT return for TD by Talib.
You could’ve stopped at “Chris Johnson”
Stevie Johnson’s “oops shot myself in the leg” TD dance was awesome.
Well, suddenly its 20-17…Bengals making big plays on offense. Damn Jermaine Gresham is an athletic stud of a TE. And AJ Green’s play on the underthrown ball to beat Haden was sweet!
Fairly soon, team are going to have to stop punting to Patrick Peterson. Mind you, teams still kick to Devin Hester so I have no real idea when this might happen.
ETAL: Oh - and Leinart is still out in the Houston game and isn’t coming back. Left shoulder.
Tie game…sweet!
They shouldn’t have stopped him.
Why not let them score here? NFL coaches are so dumb/scared.
OK, up 23-20…now DO NOT KICK THE BALL TO CRIBBS!!!
3 yard pass. No doubt in my mind.
Haha 2 plays later the exact same 3 yard pass
Wow…Bengals win a squeaker…the Browns have been playing really well lately. Their defense is tough.
Now I need the Chiefs to pull off the unconscionable…
Well that was an interesting game this week at least. Good luck with the division.
So far the Caleb Hanie experience leaves a lot to be desired.
If John Skelton can be bailed out by his running back and special teams, I see no reason why Devin Hester and Matt Forte can’t shoulder more of the load.
The late game in the UK is the Chicago game. I’ll agree Hanie doesn’t look…comfortable is the most charitable way of putting it.
Just terible from Hanie there - why did he roll out? There was, despite the commentator’s pronouncement, a really good pocket there. Rolling out actually allowed the end to get closer to him. Then an awful throw to cap it.
