The confusing part is Burrow himself declared "pick your poison", but his play doesn't reflect that.    When they checked it down against Baltimore his targets got him scoring opportunities more times than punts, when he didn't it resulted in negative plays giving the Ravens better field position and better scoring opportunities.

When you declare "pick your poison" then that means when a defense plays you dishonestly you are simply going to grind them up with what they are giving you. Yet time and time again he elects not to go this route.

I agree, but I kind of understand it. He’s an aggressive QB — and we want that! — and his “poison” is always going to lean toward the big play. I think you have to point a finger here at Taylor, too. He still thinks too much like a QB, too, when he needs to be the voice of patience in Burrow’s ear.

What a mess and a waste of such talent on the field, and nobody in that building seems to know what to do to fix it. All they say is it’s getting better it’s getting there, I’m just not sure this team has the brains to fix it at this point. They keep doing the same thing each week, every team seems to do the same thing to stop it yet Zac or anybody has yet to figure out how to beat it. Hopefully in week 14 we are still not hearing it’s getting there we’re getting better each week.

Well, the oline seems to finally be coming together, so that’s something. Here’s Parker’s weekly breakdown thread:

[AMPHAR]

I wonder if Coach Kilmer was there? 

[Stripes]

AC/DC is terrible. My confidence is destroyed.

[HoosierCat]

Injury report now sponsored #payjoe

[ArmyBengal]

Sponsors for everyone and everything.

Your port-a-shitter has been brought to you today by The Cincinnati Women's Choir.
When you unroll the shitpaper, a recording of the choir can be heard.

well, at least Tee was able to practice a little.  thats encouraging. 

That said, I'd rather he skip a week to get fully right than play a little this week and still be iffy ongoing

[ArmyBengal]

Saw Michael Thomas and Lattimore are out for the Saints.

[TJJackson]

 doesnt matter, tho - we've never beaten a Andy Dalton team

[ArmyBengal]

First time for everything TJ.

Or in the words of one of my favorite bands of all time:
"It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime."
"What better place than here, what better time than now ??"
"ALL HELL CAN'T STOP US NOW !!"

I'd like to see a little Rage show up in the Bengals tomorrow !!

I wonder if Kareem is thinking.....well coach, guess you coulda used me on the roster today after all

[Stripes]

Of course they show the Browns game in Athens this week. It’s only the home of Joe Burrow after all.

Sketchy streams for me today.
