HoosierCat Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Well, here we are again. Must win in week 3 to save the season, and on Monday night no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Just have a horrible feeling one of these years they get bit by going 0-2 and slip to 0-3. Once again with the start of the season is a big buz kill. Last year it was calf drama non stop and 0-2. This year is Chase drama non stop 0-2. If only the NFL had practice games they could use to get ready for the season. Stats or records wouldn't count but they could probably televise and sell tickets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 The pressure is on for the Bengals to score early (hopefully) TDs. They could easily get pulled into a Patriots scenario with offensive buffoonery early in the game. If you let the Commando just run into the line and eat clock they'll be able to protect the young QB very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play with fire and eventually you get burned. Hopefully not this year, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all. Washington can run and our dline is a train wreck. Even so, Bengals can probably outscore them if the week 2 offense shows up. I just hope the don’t overlook the Commanders now that the Panthers have named first ballot hall of famer Andy Dalton their new starter.

ArmyBengal Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 The Bengals win this game. Is there any D-line help anywhere to be found? Jesus these guys are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 17 Author Report Share Posted September 17 Zac said he was talking to the FO about bringing in dline help. There’s DT Dominique Davis on the PS, and a couple guys they let go at final cuts, Travis Bell and Carlos Davis. They’d all at least have the benefit of some familiarity with the team and system. I was poking around into available FA DTs yesterday but didn’t find anyone worth mentioning. Here’s the “best” Rapien could find. Cupboard is bare. https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/allbengals-insiders-plus/three-veteran-defensive-tackles-cincinnati-bengals-could-sign-free-agency-01j7zzeywqht ETA apparently they are working out Lawrence Guy and Albert Huggins among others today. https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/allbengals-insiders-plus/report-bengals-working-out-multiple-veteran-defensive-tackles-amidst-injury-run-01j8065frxpq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 17 Author Report Share Posted September 17 Hey, you know that guy who didn’t play week 1 because the coaches hated him? Quote The Jermaine Burton truthers will like this one. The rookie receiver earned the highest overall grade (76.3) on the entire Cincinnati Bengalsoffense from Pro Football Focus. This despite only getting 10 snaps. That was almost thirty points more than Trenton Irwin (47.4) who had 35 snaps, and also well ahead of Ja’Marr Chase (59 snaps, 57.5 PFF grade) and Andrei Iosivas (49 snaps, 55.3 PFF grade), despite his two touchdowns. Eff you Zac. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/9/17/24247048/jermaine-burton-earns-highest-grade-on-bengals-offense-from-pff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 For some odd reason despite of the improved play and thinking they could go on a hot streak, I don't feel much energy about the Bengals at the moment. My son and I will be at the Monday night game and I'm sure we will have a good time as always. However, I don't feel the excitement surrounding the team at this point. This is going to sound weird, but it feels like going through motions. Almost boring... I'm really hoping I snap out of it. Maybe a win will help that along.

Hard to get excited when so far the season is just another rerun. It’s like turning on the first episode of the next season of your favorite show…and it’s an hour-long recap of the last season. The Bengals never miss a chance to disappoint the fanbase and it’s beyond old at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eff you Zac. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/9/17/24247048/jermaine-burton-earns-highest-grade-on-bengals-offense-from-pff NFL rules dictate you must gain 10 yards in 4 downs to continue and you can only line up 11 of which 7 must be on the line and typically 5 are ineligible. Bengals did not snap the ball enough which is mostly on Burrow vs. the Patriots to run Burton out there 10 snaps vs. 4. Bengals did slightly better vs. KC. This was a predictable "problem" so and so sucks or needs more playing time blah, blah, blah. If Burrow is not converting 3rds so they can run more plays there will be some one that appears left out in a short sample. How much time did people waste over thinking the TEs before the bye week? Then boom as Burrow's play/accuracy improved he went to TEs as coverage dictated. Both New England and KC were among the better pass defenses last year. The Bengals lost the turnover battle week 1 -2 and won +2. Lost 2 games by 4 points. Commanders have not defended the pass very well at all so far this year vs. Mayfield and Daniel Jones. I hope the Bengals can throw the ball around this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2022 they go on a run and it was big game and big week after week. 2023 appeared to be the same vs. 9ers/Bills. then Burrow's wrist injury pops up. Cincinnati has always been an offensive town/fan base. Until Burrow/Chase/Higgins win a game putting up big offensive numbers fans are going to hand wring over every little detail. If they grind out a win with average or poor offensive numbers the conversation will focus on Burrow's wrist, Chase/Higgins contract and whatever skill guy that isn't playing because they can't snap the ball. Bengals win MNF football by 1 point - My guess if its 33-32 there's a ton of excitement. If its 17-16 there's a ton of dread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 I am hoping the PS spot they have open goes to a DL. Id personally like to see KJ Henry there, but a real NT would be even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing would please me more than having that dominant defense that stuffs the runs and gets to the QB with consistency. Maybe they have average to slightly above average players in the secondary, but it won't matter because of the front 7. Hell yeah !!! It's why I still wear my Geno Atkins 97 jersey with great pride. I loved watching that dude wreck an o-linemen's day !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I still think the Bengals win this game, but I would hate to think this may be an easy win since they played well against the Chiefs. Jayden Daniels is a rookie QB and passing has been a mixed bag. He's completing 75% of his passes, but has yet to throw a TD pass to this point. However, he's rushing well with a 132 yards of his own with 2 rushing TD's, so something for the Bengals to spy for sure. Their running game has been solid. Brian Robinson has 173 rushing yards compared to our team total of 144 rushing yards. Their receivers aren't doing much, but that's because Daniels isn't doing much in the passing game. The defense isn't getting much pressure through two games, producing only 2 sacks total and have no INT's to this point. Sounds like Burrow and the offense should be able to put up some yards and points on Monday Night. Also, it sounds like they need to focus on stopping the run, containing Daniels, and force him to throw the ball more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 A quick efficient offensive start is always necessary but ultimately important vs. running Qbs/running teams considering our run defense. Just reviewing the all-22 break downs on the first 2 weeks. 1. Bengals pass pro overall has been solid, but there are some let downs on critical downs (mostly 3rd downs) that need to be cleaned up. 2. Related to the above 3rd conversion and red zone touchdowns must improve. 3. It'd be nice to get more chunk plays but they have seen a steady diet of Cover 2. So YAC from underneath routes converting firsts or even creating scoring opportunities would be awesome. They got a couple against KC.

volcom69 Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 I’m still trying to figure out how this team lost to the Pats? Man they looked horrible last night, even at the bengals worst they should have won lol. Hopefully they get all these guys back this team needs a win desperately to get there confidence back.

AMPHAR Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 The loss to the Pats is easy to understand. Week 1 NFL. Pats slowed Burrow or Burrow allowed himself to be slowed. Pending how you want to look at it. When they finally got in gear they fumbled twice and had a couple drops. Week 2, Bengals were much more successful in finding underneath stuff then exploiting bigger plays when coverage breaks down. KC ran very well but because the Bengals were scoring never truly relented into just running. If they come out slow on offense vs. Washington they'll get beat. That QB is plenty good enough to win a grind it out game at this stage in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
