Honest question-after watching the Bengals come back from 21-10 yesterday does anyone remember a time where we had coaching that was able to make adjustments at halftime? I've been following the team since its inception and one of the only times I really remember the team making a significant halftime adjustment was the Super Bowl against the cheating Patriots. They were beating us early on because they knew our defensive signals and at the half I remember the original game plan was tossed, which threw them off and gave us a chance to win. Other than that, have we ever had a coaching staff that was consistently able to do it? Granted, I'm getting old so my memory of the games in the 90's is getting hazy, lol.

Rhule is the worst coach in team history and look no further than the third quarter this past season as proof. Other team made adjustments at half time. Rhule made some stupid speech in the locker room. Whistle blows and Panthers get curb stomped because the other team had competent NFL coaches.

I remember back when Dom Capers was coach in 96, we were known as a pretty good second half team.

Then a year later, Capers got roster control and everything went to hell.

 

Capers was a good coach for us the first two years but completely agree it all went to hell once he got roster control. Sean Gilbert, anyone?

Pretty much. Rinse and repeat.

Give me an example of a halftime adjustment the Bengals made to stop the chiefs after halftime. I know they did, just tell me what one adjustment was?

The only thing we did well offensively was the first drive plays near the end of the year. Those first dozen or so scripted plays usually led to our offense moving down the field and scoring (or at least being in position to do so). Besides this one (+) I really can say our coaches didn't do much right at all. No Half-time adjustments, and no in-game adjustments that made sense. Overall our situational football was very poor and situational football really depends on having coaches who make good adjustments.

We do not have that currently IMO.

Umm, how about the defensive pressure they starting bringing? Mahomes was running around 10 yards in the backfield before he could even get off a pass due to the pressure the Bengals were bringing. Their DT Hill even got an interception, which doesn't happen often for the big defensive line guys unless there is pressure.

They started dropping 8 into coverage, having one safety move up and linebackers drop back to basically have a double team on every WR/TE. Surprisingly seams like the Chiefs didn't adjust and start running more and Mahomes was just standing back there numerous times having no idea what to do

So what happened?

How the Bengals flustered Mahomes


The Bengals adjusted. Per NFL's NextGen Stats, the Bengals dropped eight-plus men in coverage on 45 percent of their defensive sets on pass plays after halftime. Before halftime, they did so just 25 percent of the time. The scheme from defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo worked.

According to NextGen Stats, Mahomes finished the day completing 7 of 13 passes for 59 yards with no touchdowns and an interception when facing eight or more men in coverage. He also took two sacks in those situations.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
