Week 14 Rams @ Bengals - Live Blogging
Posted by: charliepage at Dec 09, 2007 - 12:01 pm

Continuing a new feature here at Bengals Chatter, Live Blogging. This essentially means we will be watching the game and updating the blog not play by play (though just about), but basically recapping.

Week 14 Rams @ Bengals

Bengals 19-10 @ Final

Final Thoughts

A full breakdown of the game will be up later tonight and the podcast may be out either today, or may not come out until Wednesday.

The Bengals improve to 5-8 after a good win today against the St. Louis Rams, 19-10.

Carson started out slow, but in the 3rd quarter especially, did well. Rudi Johnson did alright, but especially had some great runs in the 4th.

The defense had a great day. They blitzed VERY well, could of done better against the run (though Stephen Jackson is top-notch) and did okay against the pass.

Overall a good game and good to see a win by the Bengals.

4th Quarter

@ 2:00 - 2 minute warning. INT by Dexter Jackson, what a day from him. Should be the end of the game.

@ 4:57 - 2 good runs in a row by Rudi, up to the 41. Another nice run by rudi, to the 49 of the Rams. Rudi is looking great, up to the 29. Last timeout taken by the Rams, 3rd and 10. Watson stopped at the 29, Graham onto kick the FG. 47 yard FG made, 19-10.

@ 5:18 - Incomplete pass, another great play by the d-line of the Bengals. Wilkins nails a huge 50 yard field goal, 16-10 Bengals. Bengals start at the 25.

@ 6:19 - Big pass to Holt, 1st down at the 41. Berlin trying to get a TD for the Rams, down 2 scores. McMichael 1st down at the 32 of the Bengals. Fakene stops a Jackson run. Blitz causes an incomplete pass, 3rd and 10. Another horrible call by the refs, should have been intentional grounding.

@ 8:54 - Good challenge by Marvin Lewis, no big deal if we lose the challenge. However a bad call by the refs, play stands, easily had it at the 33 - 33 1/2 yard line but oh well. Rams don't fair catch it, fumble, but they recover and start at the 11.

@ 10:40 - Reverse with TJ picks up 8, rudi almost breaks a big run, but still gets the 1st down. After 2 incomplete passes, 3rd and 15. Shovel pass, great job by Watson and the O-Line, close to a 1st down but short. Lewis challenges.

@ 15:00 - 3rd and 6, complete to Holt. After 2 big penalties, 2nd and 32, another big pickup by Jackson. 3rd and 20 complete, but not even close, punt. Bengals start at the 10, should of fair caught it.

 

3rd Quarter

@ :00 - Rams get the ball, end of the 3rd.

@ 2:24 - 3rd down, just short, have to punt it. Bengals start at the 40. BIG pass to Chad Johnson, wide open and a huge gain of 52 yards. 4th down, Bengals have to kick another FG, Graham makes it 16-7 Bengals.

@ 5:00 - 3rd and 4, sack by the Rams, but definitely a good drive. Graham makes the 38 yarder, 13-7 Bengals.

@ 10:47 - Another Center False Start, 1st & 15. Great throw and catch to TJ, 1st down at 31. Dorsey getting a few, 3rd and 5. Rudi runs it for 7, 1st down.

@ 14:06 - Palmer throws an INT, returned for a TD...crap. After the kickoff return, a nice run by Rudi, stiff arming a few people. 3rd and 4, midfield, they get it via TJ.

 

Half Time Thoughts

+ The run game has done decently, some lows, some highs.

+ Carson did have good passes, especially at the end there. Need more passes IMO.

+ Defense is actually blitzing...well.

- Carson still isn't Titans-Game good, but nothing to majorly worrying.

- We need to run it better, we had some good runs, but not enough.

Overall, not a bad half. If the run game can do well and the defense keeps it up, then it could be a good day to be a Bengals fan. :)

 

2nd Quarter

@ :00 - Holding on the offense, half-time. Bengals 10-0.

@ :57 - TJ catches it, Bengals take a timeout, 2 left. Out pass to Henry, mid-field. TJ fumbles it, but Watson recovers. 28 seconds left, 1 timeout left. Bengals have it at about the 42, have to take their last timeout with 3 seconds left.

@ 2:00 - 1st down, complete pass. Another 3rd and 3, 1:20 to go and Rams take a timeout. Incomplete, Rams have to punt. Bad blocking by the Special Teams, Bengals start at the 19.

@ 5:18 - 3rd and 9...complete to TJ, but not a 1st down, both teams not doing anything on converting turnover opportunities. Punt by Larson to the 8. After a good run, another good blitz, Dexter Jackson doing great today. 3rd and 3, 2 minute warning.

@ 6:37 - INT by the Rams, through TJ's hands. Berlin throws a 1st down pass. Fumble by Berlin, Cincy recovers!

@ 8:45 - Holding on the Rams, 2 of them actually, of course only one was accepted, 2nd and 20. Screen pass, stopped by O'Neal. FG attempt by Wilkins is no good! Bengals get it back.

@ 10:41 - Another almost-INT, dropped. FG attempt, makes it. 10-0 Bengals. Rams fumble it on the kickoff, but recover. Jackson almost gone, Marvin White getting stiff armed unable to tackle him, 54 yard run.

@ 13:44 - Big pickup by De De Dorsey, outside and into Rams territory. Watson gets it to the 27, 3rd and 2, Dorsey another 1st down, such a fast guy. Palmer throwing it away, almost an INT.

@ 14:48 - 4th down for the Rams, another punt. Bengals start at the 6. Another high pass, let's hope Carson doesn't play like last week, today. Good pass & catch there, but short, another complete pass for a 1st down.

 

1st Quarter

@ :00 - End of the 1st, Rams mid-field.

@ 5:26 - Fumble by WR Reverse, but Rams recover and it's 3rd down for the rookie QB. (rock berlin, florida and miami) Missed tackle, 1st down. Jackson running it well. 3rd and 1...and it's short, 4th and 1 and they get it.

@ 9:36 - 2 runs for 4 yards, another 3rd down and they run it for a 1st down with De De Dorsey. Pass Interference call on the defense, get it to the 1. After another false start, a run to the 1. Rudi runs it in, 7-0 Bengals!

@ 11:03 - Nice hit by Leon Hall, back to the 1. Rams punt after the ball is stripped out, Bengals start at the 42 of the Rams.

@ 13:39 - Pat Summerall, sweet! Bengals defense make a stop, time for Carson to get the offense on track. False start, back to the 37. lol, a run on 3rd and 2. Punt by the Bengals, rolls to the 4.

@ 15:00 - Getting ready for the game, pizza on the way!
