So this game I decided to try something a lil different. Instead of commenting I decided to take notes as the game went along which includes facts, stats and observations. So this is basically a game log. I’ll share more crazy stuff about the game perhaps manana.
Butch Game Notes:
That was fast! [opening return TD]
Bears’ O entered game 26th in redzone efficiency [converting a TD only 47.8% of time]
Bailed out twice
Bengals penalty [PI] on 3rd and 10, extended drive that resulted in Bear TD
Bengals [HB Brown] Dropped easy pass that wouldāve gone for big yards
[2nd QTR]
– Bears have a negative penalty yd differential in every game
– Bears have 16 false starts this season
-Since bye Bears have rushed for 137 yds designed runs per game. 2nd in the NFL
-21% explosive run plays
– Offsides Bengals. Santos Missed 47 yarder
which Turned into Zaccheaus TD
– Misdirection run game dominant
-Bengals Ineligible man made 3rd 2 into 2nd 7
3rd and 2 false start now 3rd and 7
Brisker/CJ blitz, HB took Brisker, CJ sack
Bengals keep shooting themselves in the foot
-12/11 play TD drives
–Caleb failed to see an easy check down [84]. Turned into 3rd and 14.
– Fantastic booming punt by Tori
– Sweat swat FF [or so we thought]!
–Billings smart. Didnāt quit on play. Even got some yds after recovery. Sign of good coaching.
-Agree with Archuleta
Caleb must make decisions faster.
Don’t know if he has to keep reminding us of this every other play.
-Caleb seems to be running more this game
-Deadball 15 yd penalty next to redzone
-Calebās inaccuracy INJed Kmet [2nd QTR 4:18]. Instead of YAC, he’s in the blue tent.
-Only scrambled 3 times since bye. Cost of easy checkdowns
-Getting off spot, scrambled 4 times in this game already,
-Ball placement just a smidgen off
-5 min drive. 7ypc going into Half!
Three 10+ play drives
Monangai 16car, 99yds, 6.2 per
-3rd and 3 goal line terrible. 6 Olinemen
No chance
Needed to get Caleb on run
Settled for FG, saved a TO for Bengals; still 1:29 left for Flacco
-Awful KO coverage again. Bengals return ball to 45
–Higgins TD great catch on Wright
-Nother dumb Bears’ penalty wipes out 50 yd return
More bad SP teams. Blocked Santos’ 47 yd attempt which appeared low anyways.
ā——Halfā—-
Monangai 16/100/6.3 long of 18 [1rec]
Caleb. 9/15/93 yds 1 TD[rec] 101.1 rating
JJ McCarthy 10/16 85yds 2TDs 89.8 rating [vs Lions]
ā——
-Bengals 32nd vs run allowing 152 per game
-3rd and goal at 1 yd line.
Delay of game Caleb
Procedural penalty. More stupid penalties.
Laser to 84! [Loveland]
[Dowdle Panthers Key and Peel pump celebration!]
–Flacco more accurate than Williams
Lethal. Perfect ball placement to Higgins twice
CB there, just a finger off
-Beautiful Rome blocking on Brittain Brown TD scamper
Oline sealed off backside too on 2nd lvl
Brown finishes
Bears almost more 1st downs than Bengals TOTAL plays 3rd QTR 1:18 left
Booker strip. He destroyed the OT with one hand!
-Getting too cute
3rd and 8 waaaay too confused.. Late motion. Almost another PS flag 13:20 4rth QTR
3rd 16, Bengals get 20 to Chase FML
Intentional grounding obvious.
Short FG!
-Big Monangai run. DJ solid block.. Bengals bad tackling [Battle]
Staying in bounds. Runs like a smart Marion Barber.
4th QTR…
-Looked like a DJ Moore TD, not fumble/touchback Avoided disaster
-Good TO by BJ to reset D in redzone.
Edmunds INT! Man that was ticky-tack application of rule. Fingertip brushes Edmunds negates awesome TD run back
-Bengals’ Redzone D allows a score 70% of time [30th]
30 secs to score TD on terrible Bears’ D.
–Archuleta āI don’t think I’ve seen a D collapse in the last 2 mins like that everā
Bengals outscore Bears 15-0 in 49 secs
-8 lead changes – 2 in last 58 secs
Bengals with 15 missed tackles [16 officially]
4 different players threw passes for Bears
Caleb with the dagger to Loveland!
