Bengals at Rams

[ace63]

Does it matter. Bengals only have slim chance at playoffs. But they have done will for being pick dead last at begaining of season. I think they will win. Bengals 24 rams 10. Dunlap should be back after missing 5 games. But smith is out. Williams out. O-line is in trouble.

EmailPrintComments145By Jamison HensleyHines Ward doesn’t have the speed like fellow Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace. He isn’t as elusive in the open field as Antonio Brown.

But Ward knows how to find holes in zone coverages and he knows how to catch the ball. In fact, Ward has the best hands in the division this year (according to ESPN Stats & Information), even though he has dropped out of the starting lineup.

When looking at the fewest drops by AFC North receivers, it’s clear to see the Steelers and Bengals have the more reliable receivers and the Ravens and Browns don’t. The top five receivers with the fewest drops all play for either Pittsburgh or Cincinnati.




Best Hands
Receiver, Team Targets Receptions Drops Pct.
Hines Ward, Steelers 49 37 0 100.0
Antonio Brown, Steelers 96 55 2 96.5
A.J. Green, Bengals 88 55 2 96.5
Mike Wallace, Steelers 87 62 3 95.4
Andre Caldwell, Bengals 65 37 2 94.9

Bengals need to beat the teams they are clearly better than. The Rams have nothing to lose and many are playing to stay on the team as well as the coaching staff.

Bengals should win the next two games easily. Even if they lost every game and went 7-9 the season would still be a success. I think they have a legitimate chance at finishing 10-6.

[C-Bolt]

Pass defense has to play much better than they have been or they're not going to win any games no matter who they play,I know they got a lot of injuries over there but something has to give

[farmer]

The Bengals did not play well against a QB who has only been with the Rams for 11 days. They only had a limited amount of plays that he could run.

The Bengals could not score TD's early to allow the Rams to stay in the game. Benson fumbles 3 times and was lucky not to lose one. False start penalities unforced errors is uncalled for this late in the season for a team wanting to win in the playoffs. The Bengals won but played down to the competition. The Bengals have a chance to finish the season strong but they have to play better.

slow start but i'll take 8-6 right now.
good comeback for the boys in stripes.

[ace63]

Seems like the first half is always slow for bengals. Good win bait. Tenn lost,jets lost and radiers lost. Put cinci back in it again. for a week.

[airforcejm]

Crazy week for football. Everyone ahead or around the Bengals in the wild card have lost today.

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

Was glad Cincy won today.

[C-Bolt]

Was glad they won today, but sure was not impressed with their performance on either side of the ball,I hope Green's injury is not serious,he is their best player and most consistent on offense IMO.The team seems to be regressing from where they were earlier this year, but I still think they're improved over last years team at this point.

Great win for the Bengals and like C-Bolt stated, I myself wasn't impressed with either side of the ball, but we have to remember the Bengals have gotten younger and for this team to end the year 8-8, 9-7, or even 10-6 would be a huge step in the right direction, playoffs or not.
