NFL: The Show | GM D.Geezy's Cincinnati Bengals Franchise

Kind of a quiet game from Spiller but Palmer is really heating up.

Amazing that Spiller has progressed so well this season that an 80-yard rushing 30-yard receiving game is now considered "quiet" by his standards. Good stuff.

Another solid victory. Looked like it was another game you never lost control of. Looking at the stats, it looks like Housmanzadeh and Bryant combined for a total of 5 catches and 66 yards. Not bad in shutting down the opposition's top two targets.

Spiller actually appeared to have a rather average day by his standards lol. Still, 113 all-purpose is nothing to sneeze at either. Looks like you have a relatively easy schedule down the stretch. Hopefully you can stay focused and not allow one of those teams to "steal" a victory from you.

Yeah hopefully we can sustain this good play and not have any let downs. Baltimore is always scary because of their defense, with or without Ray Lewis.

I am anxious to play against Tebow.

Michael Johnson <3.
Has the tools to become a star in the league. 6'7", speed, finesse.

Definitely a man playing like he is in his contract year. The guy is a TFL beast. He leads the league in that category with like 33 thus far. He is really doing well in the 3-4 and it looks like he'll be earning a big raise in the off-season.

Nice past couple of games Deegeezy, I just caught up.

Thanks man...It's been quite a turnaround for us.

lolol, love it.

Haha...Glad you liked it.

Didn't you go 2-14 your first year? Was Chad crying then? How quickly he forgets;)

Nice solid win against seattle. The offense really looks like it has found a nice balance. Good luck down the stretch. I'd love to see the Steelers drop another to give you some breathing room. Good luck!

Ravens RB Ray Rice stiff arms Bengals FS Taylor Mays on his way to a game-winning 50-yard touchdown that made the score 42-38 with just 2:20 remaining in the game.

RAVENS SCORE THREE TOUCHDOWNS IN FINAL 4:16 TO OUST BENGALS 49-38​
RB Rice's big fourth quarter runs propel Baltimore to improbable victory | Bengals blow 38-27 lead with six minutes remaining, fall to 8-4 | Martz: Maybe some of us needed this | Steelers' 42-16 blowout loss to Colts keeps Cincy in first place​


The Cincinnati Bengals lost a topsy-turvy battle to the Baltimore Ravens, falling 49-38 Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Ravens RB Ray Rice's 50-yard touchdown run with just over two minutes remaining gave Baltimore a 42-38 lead late. Following a Bengals' four and out & resulting turnover on downs, Rice put the final dagger in the Bengals, racing 36 yards for a touchdown to increase Baltimore's lead to 49-38 with under a minute to play. Rice finished the game with a season-high 141 rushing yards. It was quite a turn of events considering the Ravens deficit just minutes earlier.

Midway through the fourth quarter, the Bengals took the lead following RB C.J. Spiller's third touchdown of the game, a 2-yard run that made the score 31-27. A couple of possessions later, Bengals QB Carson Palmer found TE Chase Coffman for a 20-yard score that increased the Bengals' lead to 38-27 with just 6:01 left.

Just as they needed to, the Ravens struck quickly when QB Tim Tebow, subbing for an injured QB Joe Flacco who missed the game with a back injury, took over. Down by 11 and facing a 3rd and 15 from his own 25-yard line, Tebow found a streaking WR Steve Breaston for a 69-yard gain down the left sideline to give Baltimore a first down deep in Bengals territory. A couple of plays later, the former Florida Gator found TE Chris Baker for a 9-yard touchdown to cut the margin to 38-35 following a successful two-point conversion with 4:16 remaining.

Cincinnati, in position to possibly run out the clock by converting a few first downs, were forced to a three and out, setting the stage for Rice's heroics.

"Very disappointing that we could not move the football late in the game," said Bengals head coach Mike Martz.

"We gained 529 total offensive yards which is one of our best performances to date but we could not get 10 yards in crucial points in the game. Sure we can sit here and lay the blame on the defense but in my opinion, they should never have been put into position to have to fight to hold onto the lead. I've got to do a better job in that area and as a coach, it is on you whenever you blow an 11-point lead with less than five minutes to go in a game.

"This was a wake-up call and I hate to say it but maybe some of us needed this loss. It is important every week to not take any opponent lightly and to remain humble."

The Bengals (8-4) will travel to face Kansas City (4-8) next week at Arrowhead Stadium.

OGOchoCinco: I'm sure they'll enjoy watching the playoffs from the couch

Nice solid win against seattle. The offense really looks like it has found a nice balance. Good luck down the stretch. I'd love to see the Steelers drop another to give you some breathing room. Good luck!

Thanks man. We certainly missed a big chance to gain some cushion. We're still in good shape though.

Hows Steltz doing?

80 overall

67 total tackles (tied for second on the team)
40 solo tackles
27 assists
3 tackles for loss
1 sack
1 interception
2 forced fumbles
2 fumble recoveries

I'm loving the acquisition. He'll be a fixture for us at safety.
 
Game 13, Year 3: Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs

41 -- 5-8

Early in the fourth quarter, Bengals QB Carson Palmer threw an inexplicable pass attempt to RB C.J. Spiller on a wheel route despite tight coverage. Chiefs CB Donald Washington intercepted the errant throw and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown to make the score 31-17 in the Chiefs' favor.

ANOTHER COLLAPSE​
Chiefs score 31 unanswered points en route to a 41-17 victory over suddenly reeling Cincinnati | QB Palmer's three fourth quarter interceptions doom Bengals | Cincinnati, Pittsburgh now tied for AFC North lead with three games remaining​


Despite being in control for nearly a full three quarters, the Cincinnati Bengals allowed a late game scoring onslaught by the Kansas City Chiefs on their way to falling 41-17 Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. In a loss that was eerily similar to last week's loss to Baltimore in which they allowed 21 points in the last 4:16 en route to a 49-38 defeat, Cincinnati was unable to stop spiraling out of control late. QB Carson Palmer's four interceptions, including three in the fourth quarter alone, were too much for the Bengals to overcome.

His interception thrown to CB Donald Washington which was returned 27 yards for a touchdown provided the back-breaker for the Bengals, making the score 31-17 with 11:48 remaining. On the Bengals' previous possession, Palmer's interception thrown to SS Bernard Pollard set up Kansas City for the go-ahead touchdown.

Two of Palmer's four interceptions got returned for touchdowns, including one on the game's opening possession which was returned 81 yards for a touchdown by DT Keyunta Dawson. Palmer, who was hit as he threw on that particular play, finished just 20 of 43 for 221 yards and 2 touchdowns and 4 interceptions while posting a horrific 39.0 passer rating.

In Palmer's defense, two of his four interceptions were not entirely his fault. The aforementioned interception to Dawson was the result of extreme pressure causing Palmer to throw while being pounded to the turf by DE Tyson Jackson. The interception to Pollard was the result of a dropped/tipped pass by WR Michael Floyd on a deep post route.

In contrast, Chiefs QB Matt Cassel went 18 of 24 for 240 yards and three touchdowns. His 74-yard touchdown strike to WR Dwayne Bowe with just 0:05 remaining in the third quarter tied the game at 17-17, setting the stage for the Chiefs' fourth quarter scoring surge.

The Bengals (8-5) have now fallen into a tie for first place in the AFC North with Pittsburgh (8-5). The team will host Cleveland (4-9) next week at Paul Brown Stadium. Following the Browns, the team will face St. Louis (10-3) at home and rematch with Baltimore (5-8) on the road in week 17.

The Steelers on the other hand will be on the road for each of their remaining three contests, at San Diego, Arizona, and Cleveland.

"It is gut-check time," said Bengals head coach Mike Martz.

"This was another sloppy, meltdown finish for us and another poor outing from both sides of the ball. We counted 10 drops today by our wideouts and obviously the interceptions need to be cleaned up. Defensively we played piss poor as well. We have three games remaining and it is now time to put up or shut up."

Damn that was a tough loss to the Ravens......surprised your defense collasped like that at the end...maybe Chad's comments provided the Ravens with some motivation.....coach Geezy perhaps should reel him in a bit on twitter....show him what happened to Larry Johnson lol
Bengals QB Carson Palmer threw an inexplicable pass attempt to RB C.J. Spiller on a wheel route despite tight coverage.
See, that's why I love to play video game football....I never make a bad read, it's always the QB's fault

Bengals need to get it together, season can go south in a hurry
 
Damn, tough loss. Great game on the offensive side of the ball. Too bad the defense couldn't hold down Tebow and Ray Ray

Yeah I don't know what happend there. We just imploded on that side of the ball. And quite honestly, the offense did too in the closing moments. We couldn't do anything right.

Tough loss. Spiller still played amazingly. Hopefully you can bounce back this week against a weak Chiefs team.

Spiller is amazing. He is about 400 yards away from Marshall Faulk's yards from scrimmage record with 3 games to go.

The Chiefs were anything but weak. Despite their record, they really did have a good looking team.

Here's for Chad....tough loss...what happened to the D? 49 points to the Ravens???? You need to bounce back next week, although the post season looks likely.

The defense is falling asleep at the wrong time. The offense hasn't been putting them in great position at times though.

Damn, two losses in a row. DON'T BLOW THIS!

I'd be lying if I was to say I wasn't worried.

Timmy: The way you guys are playing, so we'll you. Good luck with the couch too!


Damn, you guys are struggling. Pick it up:irked:

Good stuff man haha

Must win game against Cleveland, no doubt about it. We're tied with Pittsburgh with 2 divisional losses. Another loss would be devastating.

whats going on with the defense?!?!?!

Not sure...Perhaps I am being too aggessive with the blitz.

Yeah it is always fun blaming Palmer for my own blunders. In my defense though, one of those picks was indeed just a poor throw by him. He missed a wide open target on one of them and threw it directly to the safety deep.

I swear it is like he is shaving points or something.
 
another tough loss...terrible game for Palmer...the drop by Floyd really hurt but he is a rookie so these things are going to happen...a must win against cleveland for sure...I want to see cincy in the playoffs! good luck man!
 
O-U-C-H OUCH! 2 really tough pills to swallow. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come heading down the stretch.
 
Cardinals 3-10...bah.

They went to 2 straight Super Bowls in this franchise, losing both. Then Warner retired, Whisenhunt's contract ran out and he went to Houston, and Boldin left for the Giants.

They're officially in rebuild mode.

another tough loss...terrible game for Palmer...the drop by Floyd really hurt but he is a rookie so these things are going to happen...a must win against cleveland for sure...I want to see cincy in the playoffs! good luck man!

Thanks man...Every win is a must win from here on out.

O-U-C-H OUCH! 2 really tough pills to swallow. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come heading down the stretch.

This is all too familiar. I'd be lying if I was to say that it isn't weighing on my mind.

Good luck man, you can take the division! And my 49ers ain't out of this yet!

I guess I won the Twitter war with Ocho Cinco:)

Yeah I still think we got a good shot. We just need to buckle-down and play better football.

32 -- 4-10

bengals_logo_05.gif
48 -- 9-5




7115.jpg

Bengals RB C.J. Spiller crosses the goal line to cap off his career-long 78-yard touchdown run that made the score 38-29 late in the third quarter. Spiller finished the game with a career-high 200 yards on 27 carries to pace Cincinnati to a 48-32 win.

MAN OF THE HOUR​
Spiller's 200-yard rushing performance ignites scoring explosion in 48-32 win versus Cleveland | After falling behind late in the second quarter, Cincinnati outscores Browns 31-6 in the second half without throwing a single pass | Big victory catapults Bengals to just their second winning season in the past 21 years | Steelers' 10-9 loss to Chargers gives Cincinnati 1 game lead with 2 games remaining​


The Cincinnati Bengals, who fell behind 26-17 in the first half after two Carson Palmer turnovers, outscored the Cleveland Browns 31-6 in the second half en route to a thrilling 48-32 victory Sunday at home. Palmer's second quarter interception was returned 71 yards for a touchdown by Browns CB Eric Wright to give Cleveland a 23-17 lead late in the half. On the Bengals' ensuing possession, Palmer scrambled for a short gain but was hit hard and fumbled & Browns MLB David Veinkune recovered with under :20 remaining in the half. The play set up a field goal to make the score 26-17 going into halftime.

It was at that point that Bengals head coach Mike Martz made an unprecedented second half adjustment: He abandoned the passing game. For the remainder of the contest Martz gave Cleveland a heavy dose of the ground game and RB C.J. Spiller responded with a career-high 200-yard rushing performance on 27 carries. Spiller's 78-yard touchdown run near the end of the third quarter made the score 38-29, giving Cincinnati a 9-point cushion.

Cleveland would answer with a field goal by PK Phil Dawson to make the score 38-32 with 12:00 remaining in the game. They would need to hold Cincinnati to no points on their ensuing possession to have a chance to win the game. Cincinnati had other ideas however.

The Bengals took their ensuing possession on a 15-play 67-yard drive (all runs) that took up a whopping 9:26 of game clock and capped it off with a 24-yard field goal by PK Shayne Graham that made the score 41-32 with just 2:44 remaining in the game.

On the kickoff following the field goal, Browns KR Josh Cribbs fumbled & Bengals reserve FS Matt Giordano recovered and returned it 21 yards for a game-clinching touchdown that made the score 48-32.

The game was a major contrast from the two teams' week 5 match-up, which ended in a 10-6 win for Cincinnati in a defensive struggle.

"We knew this one would be a dog fight, no pun intended," said Martz.

Cincinnati's offense finished with a season-high 261 rushing yards and the team only threw the ball 17 times, which is easily the fewest for the team during Martz's tenure.

"I think a common misconception is that I am a pass-happy guy but in actuality, I am a go with what works guy," said Martz.

"We came to the conclusion at halftime that they were having issues defending the run, in particular along the right side behind rookie RT Anthony Davis. So we decided to give them a heavy dose of C.J., (FB) Jacob (Hester), and (RB) Bernard (Scott) and the whole team responded.

"We made the plays that we needed to make today in crunch time unlike the last couple of weeks. I couldn't be more proud of how well we executed in the final minutes."

Browns QB Brady Quinn had a rough performance, tossing 4 interceptions. His third quarter interception thrown to Bengals DT Domata Peko was returned 13 yards for a touchdown which gave Cincinnati a 31-26 lead. Bengals CB Leon Hall had two interceptions as well and OLB Manny Lawson's interception on Cleveland's final possession sealed the victory.

The win for Cincinnati gives them their first winning season since 2005 and just their second in the last 21 years. The team also moves ahead of Pittsburgh (8-6) in the AFC North standings, following the Steelers' 10-9 loss to the Chargers (10-4).

The Bengals will host St. Louis (10-4) next Sunday Night (Christmas Night) at Paul Brown Stadium. The Rams are currently on a two-game skid and have fallen behind in the race for homefield advantage in the NFC Playoffs.

Cincinnati can clinch the AFC North title with a win next week and a Steelers loss at Arizona (4-10).

Notes: Bengals RB C.J. Spiller now has 1,250 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns on 246 carries on the season. He also has 88 receptions for 998 yards and 9 touchdowns as he stakes his claim for the NFL MVP award...Bengals DE Ryon Bingham (70) left the game in the second half with a broken jaw injury and it is expected to sideline him for two weeks. Back-up DE Dwan Edwards (71) took over the remainder of the game and will start in his place. Edwards registered a sack during Sunday's game.
