I'm extremely excited about this game because I get the feeling burrow is going to make a statement. He's the best QB in the world imo and my 2nd favorite qb. I think the Bengals are going to start fast Howell, Lawrence and Murphy are going to eat

Don't worry we'll choke in the playoffs lol. It's clockwork I'm excited about our start but my heart has been broken too much. I just try to enjoy the present as a bills fan and hope for the best lol

Looks like nico collins is out for the Texans. He pulled his hamstring in practice today. That's a significant loss for them obviously

If the Bengals are anywhere near just 20th in defensive metrics they will be in the sb imo.

As a bills fan the most shocking part of the game vs the Texans was how aggressive Buffalo was in the passing attack down field. I think the Texans cbs weren't used to being challenged that aggressively and Buffalo was able to get a quick 24 -14 lead. Moore, Palmer, Shakir & Kincaid aren't as good as Chase & Higgins but man they are true pros. the bills made plays at the end and got lucky with a couple turnover worthy plays from Cook & Allen. Brady looks like he's completely different from McDermott in that he's going to live with the consequences of Allen and some variance and maximize possessions. He's not going to purposely constrain Allen out of fear of what might happen... He's going to embrace the full upside of allens arm...He figures if you beat the bills you're going to have to actually beat the bills and Allen throwing it everywhere. No more conservative, shorten the game and bubble screens 15x a game. I do think Allen will have a few more turnovers and Favre like games but I also think Allen might pass for 5000 yards and 40 tds. This is why I picked Buffalo vs Cincinnati for the afc championship but I had Cincinnati winning because the bills defense is probably pretty meh. We'll see how it turns out. I'm guessing Brady figures if I'm going to go down at the poker table I'm going all in on Allens arm.... It's probably the most dangerous version of Allen but with 80% good, 20% bad. As a bills fan you just have to hope he's hot in January with healthy Moore and Kincaid. I have said for many years now that there is a segment of Allen's DNA that really is the Brett favre from this era and that the bills actually need to just lean into it and accept that's the type of quarterback he is because that's the most dangerous version. Hopefully they are at peace with that and if they get beat because of a couple mistakes, it is what it is. But you can't hold back a qb like Allen out of fear of mistakes. You limit all the upside and could still make mistakes regardless. The unsung hero was the bills oline. They borderline dominated the Texans and it wasn't just with max protect. Dawkins & Brown were awesome and didn't get enough praise after the game. If Cincinnati protects Burrow I fully expect him to destroy the Texans. The Texans secondary is a little bit overrated if they're not getting pressure with Hunter/ Anderson I think the Texans are good obviously but they just don't have the true offensive infrastructure to beat Cincinnati if Cincinnati is operating at full capacity Bengals 34 Texans 20 Burrow 335 yds 2tds Bengals 5 sacks

Didn't burrow go on a significant win streak in 22 without chase All this stuff is well known Acho just has to Google lol

Burrow in his career without chase & Higgins has Brady 2007 numbers...

Every year I kinda get excited about the first preseason football games and then after a couple seriesi realize how boring and basically meaningless it is lol

This is definitely preseason lol

Landon Robinson should have been a 4th Rd pick. Great athletic dt

You can tell colbie young is extremely talented.

Get burrow out. This is dumb

Jason buck completely manhandled will Wolford in the 88 AFC championship. Extremely underrated de

Yup. Burrow is my MVP prediction this year

I also remember that the Bengals were incredibly hot at the end of 1997. Boomer was on fire and the offense was unstoppable

There are others I'm missing. The 88 team ,05 Bengals & 22 Bengals teams are the 3 best Bengal teams I've ever seen.

Burrow or boomer Dillon or James brooks Chase Pickens or downtown Eddie Brown Tony Mcgee from the mid 90s at te Munoz/ Willie Anderson Steinbach Johnson Jason buck, dunlap Tim krumrie/ Big Daddy Wilkerson Takeo Francis Leon hall or Ashley Ambrose Lewis billups

Ne will be very tough again. Maye was superb last year. His playoff was pretty tough but thts pretty normal being his 1st time in the playoffs. Division could go either way. Some would say the same about Baltimore and Cincinnati, but I favor the Bengals more.

This really should be the Bengals year. Only way I see Buffalo winning in a hypothetical playoff is if Allen pulled an elway and went alien mode. And even then I think the Bengals would need to make at least 1 big mistake. Basically like last year Kc is dangerous if Mahomes is healthy in the playoffs obviously. Thts also a situation where I'd be biting my nails as a Bengals fan

We'll fa & the draft is over and rosters are mostly set. Here is my prediction AFC championship 14-3 Cincinnati 44 11-6 Buffalo 27 NFC championship 15-2 LA Rams 30 12-5 49ers 27 Superbowl Cincinnati 30 La Rams 27 Bengals get revenge Burrow MVP Garrett dpoy Surprise team- Vikings

Getting Lawrence, Howell, signing Mafe and a jump from Murphy/ Stewart should be massive improvement Extremely impressive off-season.

Great pick. He's a very natural route runner. Great feel Underrated pick

Styles would be the most talented Bengals linebacker since takeo Spikes
