Cincinnati Only Down 9-7 at Half in a Game Where Andy Dalton Has Three Yards Passing
Andy Dalton is 4 for 10 for 3 passing yards. No, seriously. The Bengals are only down at the half by 2 points, though, because the Texans keep settling for field goals and Gary Kubiak is as conservative as advertised, and because Matt Schaub threw a horrible interception return for touchdown to Leon Hall.
Houston has outgained Cincinnati 250 to 53, but only has three field goals. They have kicked a long field goal on 4th and 2, and two field goals from inside the 10 on fourth and short. The third one was particularly a poor decision. Right before the two minute warning, Houston trailed 7-6 inside the 5. If they go for it, they either get a decisive touchdown, or get the ball back in good field position, because you know Cincinnati is going conservative to try to burn timeouts against their own end zone.

Whoo. Hines Ward is not good at talking into a microphone.

What’s the conversion rate on 4th & 3?

What’s the conversion rate on 4th & 3?
close to 50%, but from there, probably less (43-45%). But downside was way less given the time left. They probably get the field goal anyway, with little time left for Cincinnati.

If you combined Andy Dalton and Joe Flacco, you’d still have a fucking terrible QB.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:37 PM
Houston cheerleaders are stealthy hot. They are top tier. You got WASH, Dallas, Tampa, SD, – they might be next.

They had these cards at the slots today where you could pick 1 game with the spread and then any games you wanted without the spread. Could pick whether AFC or NFC would win pro bowl or super bowl without point spreads. Payouts weren’t as high as the regular cards, but I still wanted to try a few. Go figure the machine was down. Fuckers. So all I’ve got for this weekend’s games is 1 3-team card.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:50 PM
AFC here would’ve been nice
January 5th, 2013 at 6:52 PM
I agree on AFC. Hopefully they get it fixed before next week’s round. I’d like to try a few. The cards without point spreads have to be authorized by the state through a machine but they said it was down, so all I could put in was a regular card.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:57 PM
They probably just didn’t want to turn it on for 5.5 hours before the game started. You drop money on 1 game that you’re really confident in, and then just get to pick an outright winner on 2 or more, even by conference. Seems like easy pickings for the gambling man. But, they are not in business to make us money. Based on most of my cards I’ve turned in this year, apparently I also am not in the business of making me money.

I hate the patriots, but I hope they steamroll these guys next weekend.
This game is boring as fuck

Joe Webb time for Vikings tonight!!!
January 5th, 2013 at 7:08 PM
Joe Webb is gonna give the Packers fits. Read option perhaps?

Texans offense is built for this exact situation. Can they execute?
January 5th, 2013 at 7:12 PM
Houston letting Cincy hang around.

Kubiak playing not to lose as usual.
January 5th, 2013 at 7:29 PM
5 yard pattern on 4th and 11? Jesus
January 5th, 2013 at 7:34 PM
Belichek and Brady lickin their chops.
January 5th, 2013 at 7:45 PM
Andy Dalton is a hot pile of crap. He sucks. If he could throw a nice deep ball they win that game. He blew many chances. HE HAD HIS CHANCE, AND HE BLEWWWWWW IT.

The Browns have won a playoff game more recently than the Bengals.
