Stripes Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Maybe this will force a new kicker into the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Line sucks. Bullock Sucks. Burrow the man. That was O PI, but they didn't call it a couple time on Williams, so why call it there? Defense had a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincy9275 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 That call on AJ was pure BS so all the holding from tge db is legal.? more proof the NFL has a agenda against the Bengals. They have Every since the burfict playoff game. Every single year they lose a game or two because of shit like that call. Then of Zac don't cut fat Randy. Shows he is a piss poor coach.

cincy9275 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Just better hope Burrow can make the Bengals a league darling. Like Brady, Big Ben, or Rogers. If not they will continue to come up short on close games the refs dictate the outcome. Just like today. Had that been one of the favored teams. There is no way that call is ever made. A shitty way to lose a game on a bs call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I don’t know whether he was faking or not but yes it’s past time to move on. If only the Bengals had used a draft pick recently on a young promising kicker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I don't think the OPI call was incorrect at all. It's unfortunate, but so it goes. On to Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On to Cleveland. As a crew the refs allowed Mike Willams to do it all game. An again had that been a team that had any of the NFL darling QB's... Rogers, Brady etc. that would never been called. Seen it time and time again. Its sad favoritism dictates wins. That is what upsets me the most. Every year we lose a game because the are the lowly disrespected Bengals.

volcom69 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Yea the missing TO was brutal, need better from the coaching. Hopefully moving forward we will see that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 FYI - not a surprise that TOs were burned in the second half with a rookie making his first start in those circumstances (the lack of any off-season or pre-season game snaps)... As for the game, that was his first ever live NFL snaps. No rookie mini camp. No OTAs. No real training camp. No pre-season games. And drew a vicious top 10 NFL defense with a top 5 defensive line for his first snaps, and at no point did he look overwhelmed, lost, or that the moments were too big for him. He made mistakes, and he made plays, but there was nothing there to be down about. He is CLEARLY what we thought he was. We can win games with him, and, eventually, a lot of games.Hell, the team even made adjustments in the second half and blocked better.I am encouraged, but then again, I wasn't expecting the playoff this year, but nothing there makes me think 7 wins is out of reach for this year, which is where I am guessing they will end up.And the defense was damn good. They can actually tackle again. And cover. Hell, we had actualy NFL linebackers. I almost cried.Burrow gave himself a "D" by the way. Took the blame away from Bullock. Took the blame away from Ross. He's an absolute leader. We're finally going to be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 I’m not sure how much we really learned about the defense today. The Chargers offense is pretty bad, and while it’s encouraging that they mostly kept it in check, I’m reserving judgement until they show they can do it against a team with, y’know like an actual nfl QB ‘n’ stuff. Individually I did like the effort and intensity, and WJ3, Bates and Hubbard all stood out. The offense was about what I expected. The line was as bad as we all thought it would be, though it’s probably worth noting that the Chargers have a pretty decent dline, so that didn’t help. Hart was even more horrible than predicted. Is Dennis Roland still in the league? Playcalling was weird. Seemed like they didn’t get key guys like Boyd and Green involved until the second half. Uzomah too. Feed the talent, Zac. As for Burrow, there was good, there was bad and there was ugly. In other words, he looked like a talented but inexperienced QB. Which he is. He’ll get better.

membengal Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 They tackled, Hoosier. That was a marked departure. Bynes and Pratt are legit NFL linebackers. They didn't get killed on passes to Ekeler. They did get hurt on one big throw to a TE, but even that was better. Reader in the middle made a huge difference. When he cramped up and had to leave was about the only time in the game the Chargers could run the ball effectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Yup, all good. I just want to see them do it against a higher level of competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was OPI on Green. The issue I have is Mike Williams had two clear OPIs, not called. I think at least 1 of the non calls led to points.

AMPHAR Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 The pursuit and tackling by the defense was very improved in the first game. They got tired late in the game. Really don’t have any predictions going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Read that Burrow audibled into the keeper play for a TD himself. I'd like to see him geting hit a lot less. His play-action was effective in the 2nd half when Mixon opened it up some for him. Obviously needs a lot more reps with the WR's. Hit 5 different targets on the final drive (not including AJ's no-TD catch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
