Title: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Brian Fein on October 07, 2012, 05:00:08 pm I nominate Charles Clay, with strong consideration for Dan Carpenter, based on the stat Gannon gave of him being 10-26 from 46 and longer. Downright horrible.
But Clay had a huge drop in the 4th quarter and ran out of bound 2 yards short of the game-sealing first down inside 2 minutes. He should know better. Stay in bounds. Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Cathal on October 07, 2012, 05:23:35 pm My initial feeling is Clay for a dropped pass that was perfect and running out of voids when you new to run off the clock. Of course, if Carpenter makes that FG, then I doubt we have to worry about the Bengals.

Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Spider-Dan on October 07, 2012, 06:03:55 pm Getting ready for the team to cut bait on Clay. The guy is worthless; he's no good as a fullback and he's no good as a receiver. He must be one hell of a pass-blocker or something. (And yes, I am dismayed that this is the guy that was supposedly a reason why the team had to cut Polite.)
Clay gets my vote for this week. HM to Carpenter. Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Pappy13 on October 07, 2012, 06:52:07 pm Javorskie Lane. Sorry but a guy like him should NEVER fumble and especially when you get down around the goal line. It was a great hit and the ball popped out, so it wasn't a bad fumble, but still he just CAN'T fumble right there.
Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Thundergod on October 07, 2012, 08:00:08 pm Clay...
Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: dolphins4life on October 07, 2012, 08:42:39 pm Clay definitely
Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: raptorsfan29 on October 07, 2012, 09:58:29 pm Javorskie Lane
if lane didn't fumble where he did, the dolphins could have had at least 3 points, but because of the fumble came out with nothing. Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Tenshot13 on October 07, 2012, 10:29:57 pm Clay
Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: mecadonzilla on October 07, 2012, 10:50:53 pm Clay. HM to Lane. Unlike Clay, Lane at least did something in the game other than make mistakes.
Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Sunstroke on October 07, 2012, 10:55:42 pm Carpenter gets my vote...I kick cans with more accuracy than Carpenter kicks footballs. My initial feeling is Clay for a dropped pass that was perfect and running out of voids I can only imagine the sense of complete fulfillment that would come from running out of voids... (...and my sincere thanks for such a thought-provoking typo) Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: BigDaddyFin on October 08, 2012, 06:23:44 am John Jerry. The guy got stood up in short yardage all day.
Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Cathal on October 08, 2012, 08:11:58 am Carpenter gets my vote...I kick cans with more accuracy than Carpenter kicks footballs. I can only imagine the sense of complete fulfillment that would come from running out of voids... (...and my sincere thanks for such a thought-provoking typo) Lol. Damn auto-correct. I didn't even notice it. Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Spider-Dan on October 08, 2012, 03:22:18 pm Of course, if Carpenter makes that FG, then I doubt we have to worry about the Bengals. Actually, if Carpenter makes that FG, it doesn't really change the dynamic of the game at all. CIN still has to drive for a TD, only the TD is to tie instead of win.I doubt any of us would have been looking forward to a third OT game in a row. Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Dave Gray on October 09, 2012, 10:59:03 am I am going to nominate Carpenter every week until he makes all his kicks.
How many weeks in a row can this guy miss field goals and still have apologists? (Clay sucks, though.) Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Brian Fein on October 09, 2012, 11:32:38 am Lamar Miller could fumble 4 times, all of which get returned for TD's, and Carpenter misses a garbage time FG when they're down by 20, and you give it to Carpenter?
Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: Pappy13 on October 09, 2012, 01:25:48 pm I am going to nominate Carpenter every week until he makes all his kicks. When he starts missing from inside 40, then I'll be right there saying get rid of him. Maybe Miami needs to be a little more cautious in sending him out there from over 45? Not everyone just trots out their kicker from that distance and expects him to make them all especially if it's at the end of a game or overtime. He has the leg for it, but does he have the accuracy or is this just a slump? Lots to consider. No reason to be hasty about it unless there's a surefire upgrade out there not just hitting FG's but can match or at least come close to Carpenter's leg on kickoffs. He's a big reason that opposing teams have an average start position of inside the 20 on kickoffs.How many weeks in a row can this guy miss field goals and still have apologists? (Clay sucks, though.) Title: Re: Shame of the Game - Bengals Post by: BigDaddyFin on October 09, 2012, 02:54:13 pm How many weeks in a row can this guy miss field goals and still have apologists? I'm not appologizing for the guy. But I also remember the days when Nick Lowery and Scott Norwood and Matt Bahr couldn't make field goals of more than 47 or 48 yards. So to me if you're kicking 45+ yards all the time and your kicker goes cold, that says more about your play calling than it does your kicker. |
