Brief analysis of play calling at beginning of Bengals game:

EMPTY BACKFIELD (no chance for play action) pass to Marcus Thigpen in slot incomplete
8 yard Sack (no play action)
screen pass to Miller (okay not tired any more?)
DRIVE-KILLED
possession 2
Miller 5 run
Miller 6 run
Miller 6 run
Daniel Thomas 3 yard run (Miller tired again?)
Slow developing play to the outside stuffed on 3rd and 1
DRIVE-KILLED
after sack-fumble by Wake:
DT 4 run
EMPTY BACKFIELD (how about some play action pass?) incomplete
EMPTY BACKFIELD pass to Miller on 3rd and 6 short of marker (looked like a bad spot)
FG missed...
possession 4
SHOTGUN pass incomplete
SHOTGUN Miller runs 10 yards on his own (bad play, great execution)
Bootleg Pass to Egnew 13 yards...great play

Mike Sherman is single-handedly destroying our offensive flow.
