volcom69 Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Looking forward to it, to bad they are going in even worse then they came into tonight’s game. Man I wanna believe in this o-line, but after what I saw not really sure. At least it’s not a division game this time so that’s a positive.

Stripes Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The line opened Bills -6, and a wad of money immediately came in on the Bengals to push it down to -3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No NFL team can lose both starting Ts and a G in 3 weeks and look the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 New NFL rule, if two teams from the same division are matched up on wildcard weekend, they play it as normal. But if there are two such games on wildcard weekend like today, then regardless of records they switch those teams up so both games feature inter division matchups. I’m tired of this play the same team three times bullshit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hard to say much more about tonight’s game except it’s a division rival that knows the Bengals very well. Buffalo is not afforded that same luxury. Our o-line getting injured all to hell doesn’t help matters, but it will be interesting. I can’t call the outcome. These teams are both really good.

cincyhokie Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The Bills will not present the same challenges to the Bengals offense. They just won’t. The O line situation is not ideal but they will not face a better defense the rest of the way. This game will be high scoring and come down to who makes the least mistakes.

ShulaSteakhouse Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 I have to wonder how much of a drop-off in talent Carman and Adeniji actually are at OT. Jonah and Colins are 2 of the worst OT's in the NFL at this point, Jonah arguably the worst LT, so how much worse can it get? I'm more worried about Scharping and how bad he was last night, just getting Burrow killed. If Cappas can make it back that would be huge. Agree with hokie this is the best defense they'll face the rest of the way most likely. So I try not to be too concerned about it. That said, for the love of God find some OT's that don't get hurt constantly and a position coaching/scouting staff that can identify and develop o-lineman - whatever they're doing with that group, do the opposite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The last 5 games the Bengals have played Browns, Bucs, Patriots, Ravens, Ravens. All of those defenses had a significant advantage against the Bengals O-line. The Bengals went 5-0. The Bills, Chiefs, and Jags are not those teams.

Keep the positive info flowing because our o-line play once Collins went out has me balled up in a dark room flipping a lamp switch on and off.

COB Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Off topic - was anyone else freaking out as Hubbard ran that fumble back? Specifically our convoy of players running behind/alongside Hubbard barely seemed to notice Baltimore’s Andrews pretty much running the whole play down. They half ass shoved him once, almost putting him in better position, then finished him off with a somewhat questionable block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect them to get to the SB again with that line, I just don't know how it can happen, but it did last year, yet repeating that will be monumental going to KC and Buffalo to get there. Just glad they won last night and we can enjoy winning football at this level vs the drek the Marvin years always ended-up in. Just please keep Burrow healthy as he's the key to keeping them in this situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincyhokie Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The more I think of how they win this game, the more I think they have to establish the run. The Bills d line is not the Ravens. Or Pats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals can win a shootout, but I'd prefer we don't expose Apple and CTB to that kind of game if it can be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
