Week 7 NFL Late Game Thread.

Maybe we can talk about these somewhere other than the Packers v. Browns thread.

I have to say that watching Cedric Benson run like a man possessed against the Bears is pretty funny.

td atlanta. i love it.

Running back is a weird position to evaluate year to year. A couple years ago, Cedric Benson looked totally useless, and last year Matt Forte looked like the steal of the draft. Now, Cedric Benson is playing exceptionally physically and successfully and Forte is exceptionally ordinary.

You can say similar things about Grant, to be honest.

what did peterson get today? his numbers are down from last year i bet. it's a passing league even more this year.

14-0 Cincy over Chicago, and they're making it look easy. Chicago has no answer for Cedric Benson.

He's a machine so far.

In large part because the defense appears to fail to understand the basic principle of run defense. The defense wants the number of run defenders to exceed the number of blockers by one, which is usually not a problem because the QB is not usually much of a blocker. The Bengals keep giving the Bears looks with extra offensive linemen (presumably to eventually set up a few plays where they pass out of that set), but the Bears aren't reacting to it and you end up in situations where seven black shirts are trying to block six white shirts.

That and Cedric Benson looks pissed off.

Bears are getting pounded. Cutler sacked. Bengals treating him like a blow up doll today.

This game is schadenfreudetastic.

[esoxx]

Extreme understatement to mention Benson is extremely motivated to stick it to the Bears. Seems possessed out there.

[Gunakor]

Carson Palmer's on fire right now too. This Bengals team is scary good right now.

21 - 0 Bengals
