FG Kings!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hordman]

we are the KING of the FGs....all hail the mighty 3 pointers!!!!  teams bow at the signt of Dan Carpenter trotting on the field.

this offense is a joke.....seriously.  either it's execution of the plays or Henne is not creating some plays thru the air or his brain.

yes, he's making better reads thru his progressions, but he seems to opt for the dump off.  why the hell did we bring Marshall in?!?!?  Marshall makes plays, get the ball near him and let him battle for it.

and then when he does dump it off, it makes it uncatchable.  just like the dump off to Fasano right before half.  if he leads Fasano, Fasano scrambles for 5-10 yds and maybes scores.  I still contend that was shitty pass on 2 and 8 last week against PIT with 2 minutes to play.  Pennington makes that pass today, no doubt.

I don't know if Sparano thinks we're playing 1st one to 10 FGs wins the game? wow.

he talks about opening the offense, I just know if he means the OTHER team's offense.

and I'm going to the MIA/BAL game next week and have to sit thru FGs......arrrgh.

thank god we just gave Carpenter a new contract or else we would have to pay him a ton....lol

I like a consistent strong-legged kicker...nice "plan B" option to have when plan A gets stuffed.

Don't sget me wrong, I love the fact we have Carpenter, but they seem to "settle" for the FG during the play calling.  case in pt:

3rd Q
3-6-CIN15  R.Brown left guard to CIN 14 for 1 yard.

really? 3 and 6 and run off left tackle?  c'mon, that play call screams I don't want want my QB to make a stupid mistake down here. with the 3 WRs they have, they should have passed for the 1st down and kept the drive alive for a possible TD.

don't get me wrong, I love that we won, but this keep it "close to vest" crap is gonna get us lose to some close games.

Exactly.  You have no business running the ball on third and long.  You throw it.  This is why I'm with the crowd who wants Dan Henning gone.
