quick thoughts on the bengals

Most of the high points hit. My 2 cents:

- Lots of missed plays could/would have swung the outcome of the game:

--- Luck's INT with zero points off the turnover right off the bat
--- Adam V's missed FG. Had CIN only been up by 1 instead of 4 at the end of the game, then play calling could have been different in order to only get in FG range instead of needing a TD. Sure, 55 yards is a long way but it was darn makable for him.
--- Terrible DPI call on Wilson
--- Doyle's fumble
--- At least once but I believe twice, Colts in 3rd down with 2 to go and Luck heave hoes the ball at least 20 yards downfield for incompletions. GET THE FIRST DOWN!
--- Multiple defensive penalities on one of CIN scoring drives gifting the TD in the 2nd half.

Any one of those situations become a Colts positive instead of a Colts negative and that ball game gets won.

- I love that Luck completed 3 or more passes to 7 different receivers. I was concerned that early on his return, he would force the ball to his safety blankets of Hilton and Doyle only.

- 3 tackles, 3 TFL, 2.0 sacks. That answers the question of why Marqus Hunt made the roster at DE.

- I wonder if a fully ready Walker at MLB makes any difference over Moore. Our middle was weak yesterday.

Walk Worthy,
