Bengals +3.5 at Redskins (ov/un 48.5)

Why punt? On 4th and 2 from the 36? Better question: Why is Marvin Lewis still the head coach after this shit display? Faking a FG inside the 10 in the first half, then taking a Delay penalty and punting the ball with less than 2 minutes to play....

I don't have a problem with punting: our RB sucks, the Redskins had zero timeouts, and it would have been a 54 yd FG, which is Nuge's career long. Marvin also had no way of knowing that Terrence Newman would go full retard, for the 2nd time in the game, giving the Redskins a chance on the final drive.

Our defense is absolutely horrible. If our front 4 doesn't get pressure, then we are in for a long day because the back 7 are the epitome of below average. Unbelievably enough, we absolutely need Leon Hall to get back on the field soon.

The Fake FG attempt rivals the aforementioned play of Terrence Newman on the stupidity scale. In the end though, we won a frickin game, so everything is ok by me until next week.

I didn't want them to run the ball.. The Redskins showed no sign of stopping the Bengals passing game today. You run a quick slant to Green, and the game is over.

You're right, Hall couldnt hold Green's jock today, so that's fair. The point still remains though, in that situation, punting it to inside the 10 is the much safer and higher percentage play than going for it on 4th and 2 from around the 40 yd line is. If they don't convert on 4th, then the Skins only have to go 40 more yards, in just under 2 minutes, to get to the Redzone. I punt in that situation 10 times out of 10. In the end it doesn't matter. We won.

You have the right play on the wrong down. There was no reason to run the ball on 3rd down. The play started with 2:03 left. Even if the pass was incomplete no big deal. The 2 minute warning was going to happen.

As for the punt, I agree with it. Without the 15 yard penalty the Redskins get no where near a spot to score.
