Zimmer endures rocky beginning to coaching tenure By JON KRAWCZYNSKI (AP Sports Writer) 1 hour ago AP - Sports MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Mike Zimmer had waited so long and interviewed so many times to be an NFL head coach that he almost turned down the Minnesota Vikings' request to talk this offseason. Now that he is finally in the top job, it hasn't taken the longtime defensive coordinator long to discover that being a head coach is about so much more than actual coaching. Zimmer's Vikings have been in the eye of the NFL crisis storm this week after star running back Adrian Peterson was benched, then reinstated, then told to stay away while he addresses child abuse charges in Texas. Suspended receiver Jerome Simpson was cut when a new arrest was revealed and Zimmer spent the week answering questions about abuse, discipline, fatherhood and morality while getting his team ready for a game at New Orleans. It's been a crash course for the first-time head coach, who is trying to keep a rattled team focused in the aftermath of so much controversy. ''I don't know that you're ever prepared for all the things that happen. At least, I wasn't,'' Zimmer said. ''You deal with each one of them, you go on, you get back to work and get going.'' Zimmer has been a coach in the NFL since 1994, with 13 seasons spent in the pressure cooker with the Dallas Cowboys and another six years in Cincinnati, where the Bengals routinely had to deal with players who ran afoul of the law. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/zimmer-endures-rocky-beginning-coaching-204210958--nfl.html

Quarterbacks want to be like ... Dalton?September, 18, 2014Sep 186:30PM ETBy Coley Harvey | ESPN.com CINCINNATI -- The day Jay Gruden foresaw more than three years ago has finally arrived. Quarterbacks want to be like Andy Dalton. Cue the soundtrack to an early 1990s commercial anthem: "Sometimes I dream... that he is me..." In this story by ESPN colleague John Keim on Wednesday, we found out that Kirk Cousins is doing something some other quarterbacks might soon admit to doing. He's trying to play like the Cincinnati Bengals' fourth-year quarterback, who has his team off to a 2-0 start and has started to prove that he might be worth every penny of the six-year, $115 million contract extension he signed back in August. Mark Zerof/USA TODAY SportsBengals quarterback Andy Dalton is playing well enough to be emulated by other NFL quarterbacks.Built similarly to Dalton and blessed with athleticism and mobility a lot like Dalton's, Cousins is hoping that Gruden, the Bengals' former offensive coordinator who now is Washington's head coach, can get him to taste some of the same success that Dalton has experienced at the start of his career. http://espn.go.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/11351/bengals-andy-dalton-kirk-cousins-quarterbacks-want-to-be

Ha!

No kidding around with Bengals run game Posted 54 minutes ago Geoff Hobson Editor Bengals.com Giovani Bernard, that 22-year-old geezer, shook his head as he recalled rookie running back Jeremy Hill’s dance after his first NFL touchdown in Sunday’s 24-10 victory over the Falcons in the Paul Brown Stadium opener. “I’m a low key guy. He’s a young stallion,” Bernard said. “We’ll figure out something. I’m the wise old man.” It doesn’t take a withered sage to figure out the Bengals have their most dynamic pair of running backs since, dare we breathe it, James Brooks and Elbert Woods before these kids were born. Or maybe when Corey Dillon was on his way out and Rudi Johnson was on his way up in head coach Marvin Lewis’ first season of 2003. Whatever it is, Bernard put on another scintillating YouTube job with 169 all-purpose yards while Hill banged away for 74 yards on 15 carries. It’s not exactly “Thunder and Lightning,” since there are times Bernard can grind it, like when he bowled for a four-yard touchdown run, and Hill can juke it, like he did for 18 yards after a catch when he made estimable safety William Moore miss in the middle of the field. But “Fire and Rain,” give the Bengals the final, crucial elements they’ve needed for a well-rounded offense. And in the hands of offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, it won’t be shoved to the backburner. With their two starting wide receivers and two of their tight ends shelved, it was time for Jackson to display the personality he’s always on his players to show. http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/No-kidding-around-with-Bengals-run-game/5982aedd-e35b-4ef0-9a64-f661b572ed6f

Bengal Morning Takes: Atop the AFC NorthSeptember, 15, 2014Sep 158:00AM ETBy Coley Harvey | ESPN.com CINCINNATI -- It's still early. Very early. But the Cincinnati Bengals have many reasons to feel good about the defense of their division title after two weeks. For starters, they are one of four AFC teams with 2-0 records. If the Eagles beat the Colts in this week's Monday night game, that would make the Bengals one of seven teams in the entire league with 2-0 marks. Of those seven, only three, the Panthers, Broncos and Bengals, were playoff teams last season. According to our friends at ESPN Stats & Information, since 1990, teams that start a season with a 3-0 record have a 75.2 percent chance of making the playoffs. So the Bengals have to be feeling good about their postseason aspirations if they can breeze into the Week 4 bye undefeated. To get to 3-0, the Bengals will have to extend their regular-season home winning streak to 11 games next week when Tennessee comes to town. If they win that game, the Bengals will have set a new franchise record for consecutive regular-season home wins. If they continue to roll the way they have through these first two weeks, maybe they will have a chance at redemption from last season's playoff loss by hosting another postseason game this season. http://espn.go.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/11219/bengals-nfl-afc-north-standings-morning-takes

Doc: Bengals may be even better than we've seen so far Paul Daugherty, pdaugherty@enquirer.com 9:09 p.m. EDT September 14, 2014 (Photo: The Enquirer/Jeff Swinger) To recap: The Bengals lost their best offensive player early in the first quarter Sunday, and their best defensive player shortly after that. They missed three field goals, committed seven penalties. . . and had the Atlanta Falcons beaten by the middle of the third quarter. When A.J. Green gimped off the field with a bad toe, Andy Dalton was without three receivers – Green, Marvin Jones and Tyler Eifert – who last year contributed 188 catches, 2,583 yards and 23 touchdowns to the cause. That bothered Dalton so much, he threw for 253 yards and a TD, and had a QB Rating of 116.6. Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan came into this game having passed for a Falcons franchise record 448 yards last week. He looked like he was working in a hall closet Sunday. And he didn't even have Vontaze Burfict to worry about. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/columnists/paul-daugherty/2014/09/14/paul-daugherty-cincinnati-bengals/15640445/

As a follower of cop block and police the police, I am sure you can show me tons of examples.

They arent above the law And yes, it is true about advertising, which is why none of this matters. If public perception on advertiser support weren't an issue the NFL pretty much wouldn't care. This whole thing is PR, that's why I don't understand the blind outrage that no one really cares about unless they see it.

40% rate of domestic abuse goes on in our nations police force but a man that plays a sport is the one we want to make an example of... hurrah.

Bengal Morning Takes: Andy Dalton's daySeptember, 8, 2014Sep 88:30AM ETBy Coley Harvey | ESPN.comSunday night, several hours after the Cincinnati Bengals' 23-16 win against the Ravens, I linked on Twitter a fresh postgame video featuring myself and ESPN.com Ravens reporter Jamison Hensley. In it, we awarded our weekly game balls to our respective teams. Bengals receiver A.J. Green got mine. In the tweet, I added the message, "Was anyone else more deserving?" To which one of my followers replied, "I would say Andy Dalton!" . I can’t lie, the guy had a point. http://espn.go.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/10883/bengals-andy-dalton-game-ball-performance-morning-takes

Lemme help ya there.

For openers, Bengals use same script to get jump on AFC North Posted 9 hours ago Geoff Hobson Editor Bengals.com “He’s going to be a top five quarterback," A.J. Green says. BALTIMORE _ Stop if you’ve heard this one before. They survived an injury to one of their Pro Bowlers, another injury to a key piece of their new offensive playbook, and a back-breaking 80-yard touchdown in the dying moments that swiped the lead. Their quarterback gutted out another one on the road. Their defense got to the quarterback at just the right time despite being on the field for all but 3:42 of the last quarter. The defending AFC North champion Bengals are becoming quite predictable with their resiliency. But this one had such an added twist that even the glacial A.J. Green spewed emotion during the Bengals’ 23-16 Opening Day victory in a suddenly subdued and bankrupt M&T Bank Stadium. http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/For-openers-Bengals-use-same-script-to-get-jump-on-AFC-North/33360e50-55d7-477c-bf84-13f7e8e0baa4

Bengals take big step forward in AFC North By DAVID GINSBURG (AP Sports Writer) 4 hours ago AP - Sports BALTIMORE (AP) -- The Cincinnati Bengals probably couldn't imagine a better way to begin defense of their AFC North title than to defeat a division rival in its own stadium. Especially when it's the Baltimore Ravens. ''Anytime you come in here and win a football game, it's a big win,'' Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said Sunday after the Bengals beat the Ravens 23-16. ''It's a division win, and it's on the road.'' The Bengals, who had lost four straight in Baltimore, considered this game to be a gauge of their improvement during the offseason. ''We did exactly what we set out to do there today,'' said Andy Dalton, whose 77-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green with 4:58 left proved to be the difference. ''There are a lot of tough places to play in this league and this is certainly one of the toughest. It was the only place I had not won since joining the Bengals.'' http://sports.yahoo.com/news/bengals-big-step-forward-afc-075147882--nfl.html

Yeah it was a gg, as usual I bet your teams comes on and starts a run for the play offs.

Got away with it.

Bengals juggle adversity for opening win Posted 5 hours ago Geoff Hobson Editor Bengals.com BALTIMORE - Andy Dalton and A.J. Green came up with one of the most improbable plays of the Green-Dalton era when they hooked up with a stunning 77-yard touchdown pass with 4:58 left to give the Bengals a 23-16 win at M&T Bank Stadium on Opening Day. BALTIMORE - Andy Dalton and A.J. Green came up with one of the most improbable plays of the Green-Dalton era when they hooked up with a stunning 77-yard touchdown pass with 4:58 left to give the Bengals a 23-16 win at M&T Bank Stadium on Opening Day. Moments after falling behind for the first time all day, Green ran by safety Darian Stewart and Dalton hit him in stride at about the Ravens 30. But then Green, the world famous juggler, juggled it, then caught it again while skating past Stewart when he dodged one way and Stewart went the other. And then Dalton, who had 301 yards passing at that point with a 90-plus passer rating, made a big throw to wide receiver Mohamed Sanu at the right pylon as muscled the ball away from cornerback Asa Jackson for the two-point conversion. Then it was back to-back sacks on third down and fourth down in the red zone from Wallace Glberry and Reggie Nelson to seal it. http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Bengals-juggle-adversity-for-opening-win/742cf11d-4b92-4b25-bee4-1c992d4eb1f9

Green about the game-winning 77-yard touchdown reception he had Sunday that he bobbled before catching it and juking a safety for the score. Here's what he said: "[CornerbackChykie Brown] tipped it. I guess it's good that I tracked it and was able to get my hands on it.

It was a game of teams that felt really uncomfortable in their schemes.

Ha, keep giving gifts Ill take em back to the playoffs.

Rapid Reaction: Cincinnati BengalsSeptember, 7, 2014Sep 74:17PM ETBy Coley Harvey | ESPN.com BALTIMORE -- A few thoughts on the Cincinnati Bengals' 23-16 victory against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. What it means: With the victory, the Bengals get off to their best regular season start since 2011. That was the last year they won a season opener, making this latest Week 1 victory only the second the Bengals have had in the last seven season openers. Sunday's win also means the Bengals are now 1-0 and once again atop the AFC North standings. With the entire division playing games against each other this weekend, it was important the Bengals claimed a win against the Ravens to send an opening salvo to begin the year. The message their performance sent was this: they are anxious to prove they're able to repeat as division champions. http://espn.go.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals

Tyler Eifert, Vontaze Burfict injured Updated: September 7, 2014, 3:41 PM ET By Coley Harvey | ESPN.com BALTIMORE -- Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert and linebacker Vontaze Burfict have both been ruled out after sustaining injuries in Sunday's physical game against the Ravens. Eifert left late in the first quarter with an elbow injury. Burfict left with a concussion. Burfict was run from the game at the end of the second quarter when he struck Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco hard. Under the extreme pressure, Flacco still delivered a perfectly placed pass despite being pushed violently onto his backside by Burfict. The pass was dropped by Flacco's receiver. Burfict had trouble getting himself off the turf after the play. After he originally stood up, he wobbled back to a knee twice. He also was jawing briefly with Ravens players who seemed to take exception to him hitting Flacco as he threw. Eventually, trainers helped Burfict to the sideline, where they evaluated him before leading him in near the half. AP Photo/Nick WassTyler Eifert, who struggled with a shoulder injury throughout the preseason, left Sunday's season opener with an elbow injury. Before leaving the game, Burfict had four tackles, a pass deflection and forced and recovered a fumble when he stripped Ravens running back Bernard Pierce. Burfict also had one tackle for loss on another Pierce carry. Eifert's elbow injury came as the Bengals were driving on their final drive of the opening quarter. Quarterback Andy Dalton delivered a 20-yard pass to Eifert, who spun around as he avoided a tackler before leaving his feet. When Eifert awkwardly landed, he immediately grabbed his right arm and could be seen screaming in pain as teammates waved the trainers onto the field. The tight end was only down for about two minutes before trainers and teammates helped him to his feet. Fellow tight ends Jermaine Gresham and Alex Smith were among those who tapped Eifert on the helmet as he walked off the field holding his right arm close to his body. He was immediately rushed into the locker room for observation. Eifert had three catches for 37 yards before leaving the game. The injury came on the same play the Bengals finally threw a tight end seam pass, a play they had incorporated often in open training-camp practices, but one they shied from discussing much about. It also was the longest reception Eifert had. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11482685/tyler-eifert-vontaze-burfict-cincinnati-bengals-injured-baltimore-ravens
