Week 12: Patriots @ Bengals

[Saintsfan1]

You will not be 7th when Burrow racks up four wins.

[volcom69]

Well the script is in for the Browns, I mean I don’t think I have ever seen so much media coverage about someone, all the NFL broadcasts were verbally saying they are rooting for him, I mean they are going to win this game no matter what lol 

[volcom69]

Chase plays this game they might have actually one. So lesson learned for Jamar maybe, who knows 

[HoosierCat]

Dang back to 8. Curse you SoS!

Back to 7 if Vegas loses.

If Burrow played they would have won.

I believe that the Book of Revelations has this as one of the leading indicators for the onset of the last days

It’s kind of like when Taco Tuesday is trending, you’re just not sure what your going to get. 

[volcom69]

Yup the script was written for Shauder Sanders today everyone and I mean everyone couldn’t stop talking about him, and I knew he was going to win in the beginning of the week.

I wondered what all this famine and pestilence was about.

Raiders’ first year OC produces worst O in league, gets fired after 11 games.

Bengals first year DC produces worst D in league, still has a job after 11 games.

I hope Sanders plays well enough for them to mark off QB during draft time.   Then he flops, I don't really see a great QB yet.

Chip Kelly was an idiot for leaving Ohio State coming off that National Championship.
Dude has never been more than a college level guy, but he's exceedingly good there.

His game plan for last year’s Michigan game was a monumental failure. Turned it around in that natty run though.  Kind of amazing that Day lost both coordinators from that staff, hired two new ones and the team actually improved.

You don't see a great QB yet, because he never has been one.  People make him out to be this savior of Colorado football and even retired his jersey number there.  For what?  Dude went 13-12 during his two years at Colorado.  I don't care what he did at Jackson State.  I mean, where?  He led Colorado to a bowl game once and while playing in the esteemed Alamo Bowl, proceeded to get blown out by BYU 36-14.

Dude, while athletically gifted (to a degree) is the epitome of overhyped.
But yeah, hold onto him Browns, he's a keeper !!

[AMPHAR]

Bengals pressure percentage (pass pro) has now dropped below the 20% mark.    Which has 5 games of disaster QB play in terms of protection metrics.   These past 6 games are probably the best line performance since maybe 2nd half 2022 or 2015.  

Gave it time.  Gave it snaps.   Everyone kinda knew Burrow negatively impacted pass pro this streak of games shows his impact on those metrics is a lot bigger.   Why it matters?   Because a lot of fans create off season wish lists/narratives as if all the PFF metrics are equal across the board.     If Burrow don't change or Zac then its next impossible to draft/sign an O-line that's going to rank favorably with those metrics.

Don't disagree with any of that.  Go Bucks !!

[ArmyBengal]

The Bengals need to do something along the lines of what the Patriots did in the offseason and go through a large turnover on the defensive side of the ball.  Draft all defense in the first three rounds with DE, CB and S in any order.  Get some average (because that's all we can ask for) free agents and start over.

Thing is, I have no faith the front office or team is capable of that in it's current make up.

[ArmyBengal]

I only saw the highlights of yesterday's game, so I can't really comment about it.

The Ravens are back on top of the Division (Saw that coming) and won't be relinquishing it any time soon.
Even with Burrow coming back, they best they can hope for is 9-8 which won't be enough, nor will it happen.

They will win enough games to take them out of the top 10 in the draft and piss down my leg.
While rooting for Burrow, I will also be rooting for them to continue losing.
I've never wanted this team to lose so bad in my life.

[AMPHAR]

A coversation needs to be had does Burrow/Zac need to change?  I think for health reasons, yes.   For offensive performance a lot more confusing grey area.     But what Whit and Aikman described as an unfriendly O-line scheme has been proven out once again. 

How much of the offense do you want to put on Burrow's arm and health?   I think getting back a little more to Chase Brown has proven to be effective.   I think if you incorporate that run game mentality more in the off season and TC it could help a bit with your defense which was also another Aikman point.

For reputation, IF Burrow steps on the field in Baltimore.  He needs to get the win, period.   He hasn't beaten Lamar head to head in a while.    Don't care about draft positioning right now or Bengal playoffs.   Knock the Ravens down a peg or two and make their playoff road harder.    

If they can do that, it puts Baltimore in a tough off season as well.   

[ArmyBengal]

Agree with incorporating the running game more and if you all remember that was the talk of camp.
Chase Brown was going to be amazing and they were going to really push the running game.
Right up until the didn't.

Now, I don't know if that is Zac and his play calling or Burrow with the ability to call what he likes.
Maybe a combination of both.  My thoughts on change begin and end with firing Zac.

Then the inevitable question, we won't like the answer to, is.......  Anyone?

 

 

Who are they going to get to coach this shitshow?
