I don't care if they were blitzing everyone. You don't call that play to the RB on 4th down and goal from that far out. Have to call a throw to the EZ there on 4th down.


Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

That was absolutely the worst effing decision.


how do you throw a swing pass, on a compressed field (all defenders within 10 or so yards)

Just epically bad decision making.
And it wasn't even a dump off or check down. That was the call. BR didn't even look elsewhere. Looked like some one was open in front of the goal posts.

It's hard to look at that play and think it's almost not a deliberate give-up from Ben. If he doesn't settle for that dump off, he had a TD in the seam.
He isn't seeing the field for shit.

Fire Ben for being a dumb ass and not throwing to the end zone. No way that was the call.
If you watch the replay, it's a hot read and the whole defense is moving left....not a great throw, but the defense adjusted quick.

Perhaps the better question is why you even have an outlet like that in that situation. Seems like a waste of a player.

Gunslinger Ben is gone. This is BB gun Ben.
I cannot believe he threw that ball to Harris there.

I don't give a fuck about the brainless call.

Ben has to know he has to throw the ball to the end zone.

I also have to say that the call on claypool for blocking in the end zone was bullshit. Two massive calls resulting in a 7 points and 7 non points.

That was “they’re showing blitz and there’s no way my OL can hold up” and then when the blitz didn’t come, it looks stupid as hell. Blame it on PTSD.

Ben got fooled. He thought they were bringing the heat and went hot, but the Bengals dropped out.

I don't disagree, but I think he's also rushed because of the OL.

He holds the ball a split second longer it's an easy TD. Hard to believe he makes that throw 10 yds short of the sticks on 4th down.

But, honestly, the only way things are going to change is if Ben keeps running the same failed playcalls.

It did look designed, or at least that was Ben's read from the snap.

Of course, Ben with the passive aggressive body language after the shitty decision

I think you should re-read the post because you didn't grasp the point.

C'mon - stop bukkaking me with your "I didn't see the play" bullshit.

WTF. Just kneel down if you aren't going to try to throw it downfield. The surrender continues.

After that give up play by Ben on 4th down, I hope they're dropping these passes on purpose.
