Their O-Coordinator's last name is Schottenheimer.

NEVAR FORGET

The Bengals are looking very "Chiefs-esque" in this playoff game.

Now it feels like a Chiefs playoff game.

The fact that they're even in a playoff game precludes them from looking in any way like the Chiefs.

If Sanchez wasnt a rookie i think you take chances, but i dont know if you do many chances with him.

The Bengals are overrated as ****, and when the record predictions come out in Vegas, taking the under in '10 would be a very wise choice.

I am a "Sanchezite" and I'm not at all disappointed in his play this year.

It's about what one should have expected from a QB that has one year as a starter in college.

I wanted to draft him, but I also wanted to see him sit and learn for a year.

I really believe he needed to be brought along slowly.

Lewis with the challenge.

Lack of accuracy, again.

What a smart pass.

great play by cotch -- 22 should have defended the ball -- well, first he had to turn his shoulder ever so slightly -- and see where the ball was going lol

GO FOR THE ****ING KILL!!!! Stop playing like pussies!!!

Quick release.

that was a nice throw down the middle by sanchez

Why wasn't that pass batted down? /MC/

Bengal defense is getting worn down.

Greene is just punishing them now.

fundamentals no? :D

hey, DeezNutz

Maybe. The reason I thought he should have been a mid- to late-first pick was his lack of experience. But if they saw and thought enough of him after the offseason and camp to play him, then I think you have to treat him like what we was, a top-5 draft pick QB. And in that light, I would say that 4 games with 3+ INTs, a season long completion percentage under 54 and a year-end QB rating of 63 has to be seen as a disappointment especially when you consider the fact that he wasn't actually asked to do much but game manage an offense built around running the ball.

And again, I was never anti-Sanchez, I just thought like you he'd need time. But the Jets disagreed when they picked him, and then disagreed again when they started him week 1...

So in the end, maybe you and I were right, but either way, he had a bad, bad year. Which in no way means he can't have better ones down the road.

I think the bottom line is that the Jets needed a QB.

Kellen Clemons is pretty pathetic, and even though Sanchez wasn't ready, and showed it throughout the season, he was still a better option.

I will say this. If Sanchez ever DOES turn out to be a good qb, the Jets will dominate the AFC East for a few years. The Patriots fell too much in love with all the points and forgot what got them there. Defense. The lines. And yes a great qb. But they won a SB when Brady wasn't great.

How YOU doin?

How the hell?

Sanchez 1

Cassel 0

TD -----------Jets

Sweet. Suck it Bungles.

J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!

The Bengals are not coming back. The streak continues.

Damn, poor LJ :(

They just wear you down on the ground better than almost anyone. Bengals are in trouble.

God we're going to have to hear the media blowing Sanchez all week

I think it would be hilarious if the Chiefs unexpectedly pulled off a playoff berth next year and the Bungles went into the toilet again. Just call him LJ: Franchise Killer.

Sanchez starting also had a lot to do with marketing, IMO. They had just spent a bunch of FA money and wanted to sell the whole thing.

Depends on how you define "great".

Numbers mean jack to me.

It's how you perform in the clutch, and Brady was clutch from the start.

That makes him great in my book.

Embarassed badly at home... and thats just the Donkos, the Bungles meltdown could potentially be even worse.

Charles Barkley hosting SNL may be the worst thing ever.

LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

i haven't seen cincy do anything -- going back to the first series of the game

Sanchez has shown more, than I think Cassel will ever have. I hope I am wrong, but don't think so.

Well, Sanchez is running a 135.4 passer rating as of now (only 136 yards). Not bad for a rookie in a playoff game on the road.

They had a nice KO return to start the game...... Other than that

What stands out about Sanchez is how on target nearly every throw is.

His accuracy simply blows Cassel out of the water.

And? Cassel had back-to-back 400-yard games!

LMAO.

Vintage Chiefs.

He was worth the top 5 spot heck he was worth our #3 spot. I would have signed somebody like Garcia or Kitna to fill in this year while he learned or for at least half of it.

Brady has been great all along. He'll probably make somebody look really good tomorrow with Welker out. He certainly did it for years before Moss and Welker got there, and he was throwing to guys like Troy Brown and David Patten.

I would prefer that, to ever seeing his golf swing again.

**Shudder**

I'll never believe he was worth a top 5 pick, not with a year as a starter heading into the draft. It's always been a stretch for me to even say he should have gone in the 20s. Just too big a gamble. In fact, I think he should have stayed another year at USC.

(And this has nothing to do with Cassel. I didn't want the Chiefs to trade for him in the first place, although I hope to Christ he turns into something, and soon.)

I don't think today is too suprising really - Sanchez played his best in the biggest games at USC.

I'm looking forward to Keenan Thompson doing his Barkley in Charles presence.

If the Patriots are smart they won't change their gameplan one bit. Let the Ravens double Moss and run the Welker plays to Edelman. He won't catch 12 but he'll catch 7 or 8.

The QB position is so crucial that if you think a guy has "it" experience really doesn't factor in. So what if he takes an extra year to develop, which is all you will get by having him stay in college another year. There is no pick too high for a guy you think has "it".

I think if you believe he has franchise potential, you pull the trigger in the top 5, even if you believe he needs time to sit and learn.

It would make me laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh if the Jets beat the Colts.

I don't think you can tell whether or not a guy has "it" from one year starting in college. That's my whole point.

I like Sanchez, but the truth is I wouldn't be any more surprised to see him totally flop than I would to see him turn into a franchise player.

I'll give it up to the Jets for having the balls to take a crazy gamble. It'll be great for them if it works out.

Even I think Sanchez is going to be a good QB. But people are talking like he's winning them the game, time to chill out. And he's had a solid game, but their running game, and especially their defense are what has them up front.

They have basically played a very Herm-esque game, they just have the personnel to do it. They're out there running wildcat in 3rd down situations.

The Wildcat on 3rd and 5? The Jets are trying their best to give this game to the Bengals.

I believe you cannot fully evaluate Cassel until he gets some help on the field... Weis is a great start...

j/m/o

I doubt that anyone here actually believes he is winning the game.

Much of what is posted is tongue in cheek.

Once again, Cassel had plenty of help on the field when he played the Bengals.

I (obviously) disagree. You won't know but you can see the potential there (mechanics, accuracy, decision making, leadership).

Generally I would agree with that but Sanchez had a couple of things in his favor IMO - 1) playing in a pro-style offense and 2) he graduated. That showed alot more to me that he could overcome the lack of snaps (for the most part that is on Carroll for being a dipshit instead of Sanchez). If he was in this draft, he would be #1 overall no doubt in my mind.

Back in it.

We have a ball game.

I ain't heard no fat lady.

Bungals TD-----woot

That's pretty dumb. Cassel plays for the Chiefs. Sanchez plays for the Jets. Ya think that might have something to do with it? Stafford is 0. You think Sanchez is better than Stafford?

And the Bengals wake up.

Anyone have a live feed for the game?

Once again, Cassel got plenty of help from his teammates against the Bengals.

He shit the bed.

I almost bit.

The Jets are learning a painful lesson of what not to do in the playoffs. "Playing it safe" will lose the game 99.9% of the time.

They are Marty Balling it but Sanchez isn't shitting himself when plays are needed. Which for a rookie isn't too bad.

I am serious.

Huge defensive series for the Bengals.

Which is why I was okay taking him in the 20s. That's the range (in my mind) for a crazy gamble on an unproven quarterback. Not the top 5. You don't draft projects that high, you draft the highest percentage at a sure thing you can find. I mean, hell, junior quarterbacks in general are a massive risk in the draft, much less one that hasn't played very much.

Anyway, I understand your opinion and respect it, just explaining my own. Like I said, I'm not anti-Sanchez, I just think think it's generally wiser to be more...traditional where draft picks are concerned, particularly with a high pick.

So I hadn't been watching the game at all. As soon as I turn it on Bengals TD.

They have me to thank.

Sanchez **** yeah!

And the dagger

That's some Chiefs tackling there, looking like TEs against us.

Great call. They've called that little bootleg at perfect times.
