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

Since DC's usually vary some, who is in your DC that you are keeping an eye on?

That info is G-14 classified. :)

Honestly, I have a strong idea of which direction I want to go but I don't want get my heart set in one direction, especially considering that we don't know how free agency is going to go.

I think it is pretty easy to identify my needs going into the off-season though: WR, RB, OG, pass rushers, and a DB. I could also use an upgrade at back-up QB.

I haven't really reported this because it has been pretty minor, but Carson Palmer leaves the game at least once every single game with a small injury. He usually comes back within a couple of plays though.

I plan to spend a good bit of time reporting on the off-season, especially my first one. That's really my favorite time of the year.

Same here! I almost feel like I am rushing through my first season just to get to the off-season lol.

Well there is no "almost" here. I am blatantly doing it haha In the meantime though, I definitely have motivation in mind to try to win a game before the end of the year.

I've never gone through a season as quick as I did this one. In fact, I debated before I got the game on if I even wanted to play year 1. In the end, I decided I wanted to experience a bad year with bad personnel.
 
well im lookin forward to see who u choose. the draft and offseason is my favorite part of any video game/in real life

Yep...I also like my off-seasons to feel like an off-season. I'll probably take my time with my first off-season and stretch it out to around the time the first patch comes out (which is hopefully no more than 2 weeks away).

Well, not as fast as B-Dawg used to do when he would have seasons done and then come back to report them, remember?

But fast enough - and that's okay, offseason is by far the most exciting time in any franchise. I think there are those who love franchise for that very reason - ultra SIM so to speak.

I like your line of thinking, accept the personnel who are currently on the team and build up from there. Similar to what Todd Haley (Chiefs fan reference) approaches with "The best guys on the field will play" mentality.

Looking forward to the updates, thinkin if you go down to the Lions - you might have to start scouting big time for that #1 pick of da draft :P

- Yeah I remember BDAWG doing that. Man I am really missing his dynasty/franchise reports.

- I think it is important from both a realism factor and from a fun factor to not change the team entirely. It is important for me as a player and for my readers to somewhat relate to the team that is being used. The moment you "blow a team up," is the moment your team loses it's identity.

I think it is good to keep some level of continuity between your Madden team and their real life counterparts while at the same time making subtle changes and building mostly through the draft.

As for the draft, I think I am all but assured the first pick. I have a comfortable 3 game "lead" in that regard. Unless my team all of a sudden catches fire, we will be picking first (or at least owning the first selection).

Bengals FB Jacob Hester is unable to secure the football before being clobbered by Lions OLB Darnell Bing, causing him to fumble the football. Detroit rookie S Louis Delmas would scoop the ball up and take it 39 yards for a game-tying touchdown with just under six minutes to go in the game.

PANIC TIME​
Bengals let another fourth quarter lead slip away, fall to Lions 17-14 in rain-soaked defensive struggle | FB Hester's late fumble costs Cincinnati chance to win first game of '09 | With just four games remaining, 0-16 looking like a strong possibility​


The Cincinnati Bengals, whose playoff hopes were dashed long ago, are now on the brink of becoming just the third team in NFL history to go winless and just the second to go 0-16. On Sunday they hosted the last team to go winless, the Detroit Lions, and fell 17-14 amid a host of errors.

With the Bengals up 14-7 with just under six minutes remaining, Lions OLB Darnell Bing forced Bengals FB Jacob Hester to fumble the football and S Louis Delmas recovered and returned it 39 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 14-14.

After forcing a Cincinnati three and out, the Lions got the ball back and the league's 32nd ranked offense drove 72 yards on 10 plays on a drive that culminated with a 39-yard field goal by PK Jason Hanson to give the Lions a 17-14 lead with just 0:55 remaining.

Cincinnati would get the football back for one last desperation attempt to secure their first win of the season. The team had just over 50 seconds to either score a touchdown for the win or to try to tie the game with a field goal by Shayne Graham, who had missed earlier on a 40-yard attempt on the opening possession of the second half. However on first down from their own 25-yard line, QB Carson Palmer's bomb to WR Chad Ochocinco down the sideline was picked off by Lions CB Anthony Henry to put the game away.

"I am sick after this game," said a distraught Ochocinco, who had to fight to hold back tears.

"No team should have to go through this. I feel like we are cursed."

Cincinnati has four more opportunities to secure a win in order to avoid the shameful winless tag. Next up, a road game against Minnesota (7-5), who coincidentally is holding onto a one game lead in the division over Detroit (6-6). The Vikings will be without several starters for the game: QB Brett Favre (torn shoulder muscle), QB Tavaris Jackson (broken hand) CB Antoine Winfield (arm fracture), DT Pat Williams (Partial ACL Tear), TE Visanthe Shiancoe (torn hamstring), and WR Bernard Berrian (torn Achilles).

Injury Note: Bengals rookie RB Bernard Scott, who had 95 all-purpose yards during Sunday's contest and has 1,263 all-purpose yards on the season, left the game with an abdominal tear in the second half. The injury is expected to sideline him for up to three weeks. The team is expected to sign a running back during the week to take Scott's place during his absence.

Close game! A win should come any time now. Good luck against the Vikings, that's gonna be hell.
I say keep your sliders the same. If you change them and make it easier, who knows if it was your offseason moves or the slider change that turned things around for your team. To feel more legit, keep your sliders the same for future seasons. This last game was close, so it's not like you're always getting your ass handed to you.
...then again, it was Detroit, haha.

Yeah I didn't plan to touch sliders. I like the settings where they are. It's just a matter of me improving the team. If anything, I'll eventually make them harder.
 
You came really close there. Almost feels like it was taken from you. With the Vikings so banged up, you have a shot to get the "W."

Good luck man!

Thanks man...That one was gut-wrenching. I have never wanted to win a game more badly. Luck has just not been on my side this season.

your writing skills are very good man, you need a win!

Appreciate it man. Thanks

Yup....that hurt.

This was one of those games where I actually felt bad about it for a good 20 minutes after it was played. I was pissed that I blew that game.

Those are the defining moments of a video game man - similar to what NFL2k5 made me feel like. Just sit there in disbelief.

We don't press the "reset" button, we sulk for 20 mins and then move on. That's sim, baby.

Yeah I know man...Every franchise or dynasty that gets done has those 3 or 4 games that is remembered years from now. This one was cetainly one of those.

21 -- 0-13

vikings_logo_05.gif
45 -- 8-5



Summary: After only a 3-0 first quarter deficit the Cincinnati Bengals fell apart in the second quarter and allowed the Vikings to take a 31-7 lead going into the half eventually losing 45-21 Sunday at the Metrodome. Vikings RB Adrian Peterson amassed 131 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns and QB Sage Rosenfels threw 4 touchdown passes for the Vikings however the star of the show was rookie WR Percy Harvin.

Harvin, the team's first round pick out of Florida, grabbed 7 receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown, mostly in the first half. He also gave the Bengals fits in the return game, averaging 35 yards per kickoff return and 14.8 yards per punt return.

Cincinnati was able to cut their halftime deficit to 31-21 when rookie DE Michael Johnson sacked Rosenfels and forced a fumble which was recovered by rookie MLB Rey Maualuga and returned 16 yards for a touchdown midway through the third quarter.

The score would be the Bengals' last as Peterson would then score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to put the game away.

Cincinnati (0-13) will now travel to face San Diego (8-5) next week on the road still in search of win number one.

You have to look at some of the positives. Brandon London continues to be a solid contributor and looks to be making a case for next season. Maualuga has also been better since moving to the MIKE.

Harvin absolutely went off though. Sage tossing four touchdowns is nothing new - that seems to be the AM standard for a CPU quarterback. I wasn't surprised when Brees went off on me, but, when Jason Campbell did I was a little shocked.

Lewis: 46-62-1 overall record

SOURCE: BENGALS INFORM LEWIS THAT HE WON'T BE BACK IN 2010
Seventh year head coach to be allowed to coach team's remaining three games | Bengals already having internal discussions regarding potential replacements | House-cleaning after dreadful season comes as no surprise


thumb-schefter.jpg

By Adam Shefter, ESPN

In what many would say is one of the least shocking events of the 2009 NFL season, the Cincinnati Bengals have decided that they will be parting ways with head coach Marvin Lewis at the conclusion of the 2009 season, according to sources close to the team. Lewis, in his seventh season at the helm of the franchise, has compiled an overall record of 46-62-1 during his time in Cincinnati and is on the cusp of going winless this season.

With one year remaining on his contract and only one playoff appearance during his tenure, Lewis' prospects for returning in 2010 were already bleak. When the team hired a new general manager, D.Geezy, just prior to the 2009 preseason, the writing was on the wall for Lewis. Starting the season 0-13 was the final nail in the coffin and is undoubtedly a record that would be difficult for any coach to overcome and hold onto their job.

The same sources also indicate that Lewis is already informing some coaching staff members that they should begin to look for future positions elsewhere immediately.

Neither Lewis nor the team would confirm the reports. The team did however release this statement:

"Marvin Lewis is under contract through the 2010 football season. The organization's focus at this juncture is our upcoming game in San Diego and coach Lewis has our full support as we try to finish the 2009 season on a high note."

Lewis became the ninth coach in Bengals history on January 14, 2003, when he was hired to replace Dick LeBeau, who was fired after the worst season in franchise history. The Bengals finished 8–8 in each of their first two seasons under Lewis, recording a non-losing season for the first time in seven years. In 2005, Cincinnati recorded an 11-5 record, winning the AFC North division and making the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. Despite setting multiple franchise records in the regular season, however, the Bengals lost to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-17, in the wild card round, after starting QB Carson Palmer went down with a knee injury on the second play of the game.

The Bengals have not returned back to the playoffs since 2005 and have gone a dreadful 19-41-1 over the subsequent three-plus seasons.

I'm still waiting to be shocked by a win damnit.

Spice this up LoneWolf style with an outrageous trade. I'm thinking, Carson Palmer for Ben Ro and Troy Polamalu.

Oh, and their 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounders.

That'll light a fire....
