This hurts my soul.

I knew they wouldn't stay lucky for ever.

Don't think it's luck. We executed in crunch time the last 4 weeks, and the effort and execution was never there for them today.

Thanks. I think we'll definitely drop out of the Top 10 in the power rankings, although I don't believe that we should be as high as 6 at this point anyways. Bronco's are ranked #5 as well. Honestly, I think we could win the North this year, but we're gonna have to grind it out, and hopefully Peko and Odom will be back 100% next week. Those two are the staples of our D-line and both were hurt in the first half, Odom had already blocked a FG on the Texans' first drive and had pressured Schaub on one of his throws on their opening drive. But as far as bright spots, Carson finally aired it out to Chad, Punter Kevin Huber boomed 3 or 4 kicks and Carson showed again that he is one of the best QB's in the league when he's on the move, even though he isn't rolling out that much. Low spots were our O-line getting DUMB, DRIVE-KILLING penalties, I can't remember which drive it was but we had back-to-back holds, so we had like 2nd and 25. This coming after not having any penalties against the Ravens', showing lack of focus, effort, and concentration. Our Pass D was horrid today as well, and once again, Peko and Odom being out didn't help the pass rush at all, even though Fanene came in and got a sack. But we'll just have to wait and see what this week holds for us. Hopefully we'll come out fired up to play Da Bears and and we'll show everyone that we are for real this year.

Now I will get off my box. What is everyone elses thoughts on todays game?

**Stardust** · 10-18-2009, 06:28 PM

To me, it was as simple as the penalties from the first quarter. The first two drives, the Bengals were in a groove, only to end their drives miserably die to penalties. They have to clean up the mistakes that the O-Line has made in order to progress towards a playoff team

**Strikeout King** · 10-18-2009, 06:29 PM

my team won....alright Texans....keep it up....

**NYY10** · 10-18-2009, 07:42 PM

I though the bengals was gonna make a last second push, but that fumble kill them at the end!

You are so right. The Bengals acutally made a run, but another mistake just killed the Cats

The ravens game was some crap, they almost blew it against the packers but lucked out with a penalty running the last 15 seconds out.

**Mr. Pike Central** · 10-18-2009, 11:21 PM

Houston is really a beast team this year.

Can't wait to see them duke it out with Indy.

**Death** · 10-18-2009, 11:27 PM

The Bengals will be fine.

Pink Flamingo · 10-19-2009, 08:54 AM

I was at the game Sunday and wat aelse can you say oher than disappointing. Not only did our o-line kill us in the first half but how awful was our defense? Shaub went wild on us and there was nothing we could do about it. We couldnt tackle slaton on the screen/swing pass. Odom is probably out for the year, it says on bengals.com that he tore his achilles. IMO, Daniel Coats should never see the field again along with Faschi. It was a good no challenge on the fumble at the end but Marvn shouldve challenged earlier in the game when Coles fumbled.

I guess the pact with lucifer finally expired LOL!!!

Preseason Depth chart for Tight End

1. Reggie Kelly
2. Ben Utecht
4. Matt Sherry

All three out with injury. No wonder we have been miserable at that position this year.

Pink Flamingo · 10-19-2009, 05:02 PM

Chase Coffman has to be better than Coats or Faschi. I think its about time to give him a chance.

Great game. Texans has a very good team. Plus I'm glad to see the Bengals lose.

Jimmy Dugan · 10-20-2009, 04:01 PM

Bengals finally lose...They can't get lucky every week

csabo17 · 10-21-2009, 09:32 AM

I blame myself for this last loss. I was sick and fell asleep towards the first of the game. After going back and watching it, I just wonder if our defense ever went out on the field. Benson held to 44 yards?
Losing Odom is a killer and we are still weak in the tight end department for sure. The good news seems to be that Peko has nothing torn, but still may miss next week against the bears.
