Where Dey?????

I went to the Bengals play-off game and it was a cold, fun game – until the end!  There are a ton of reasons why the Benglas lost the play-off game to the Jets but here are four that stand out to me as problems we’ve had all season; coaching, Carson Palmer, turn-overs and Shayne Graham.

Our offensive coordinator has no creativity whatsoever.  The Jets offensive coordinator had pretty good plays that tricked the whole Bengals defense.  In the end, the success of the offensive play-calling showed on the scoreboard.  And the scoreboard showed me who was a better play-calling coach, too.

Palmer couldn’t hit the bright side of a barn on Saturday.  He was throwing the ball ten feet over the wide receivers heads.  What he’s doing wrong is so simple, favoring his knee and throwing off his back foot.  Until Palmer corrects his mechanics he’s never going to take the Bengals to the next level.

Graham can’t even show his face anywhere in Cincinnati!  He is supposed to have the fifth best kicking accuracy in the league.  It makes no sense that he missed a 28 yard and a 35 yard field goal.  I know making the field goals wouldn’t have won the game but it might have gotten the Bengals fired-up.

Another reason the Bengals lost was turnovers.  The Bengals has two and the Jets had none.  Turnover lose big games and we lost this week.
