volcom69 Posted September 27 Report Posted September 27 Burrow knows better stop trying to be the hero there just fall down. Beating yourself all day just dumb. Quote
volcom69 Posted September 27 Report Posted September 27 Defense again had a chance to close it out and decided not to tackle and revert back to last years defense Held them twice to punts, you rough a kicker, then muff a punt just stupid! Ugh just questioning so much with this team sometimes. Questioning the coaching for sure. Looks like the Browns might win again, and the Steelers win and Bengals are now 2-1 again. Gross. Had a chance to pull away and you blow it! 1 Quote
TJJackson Posted September 27 Report Posted September 27 There ya go. Stop reading your press clippings, Bengals Admiral Ackbar special 1 Quote
gregcook69 Posted September 27 Report Posted September 27 And I’ll say it again. With this franchise it’s ALWAYS ‘expect the worst, hope for the best’ . . 59 years running! The long black haired ‘talking head’ predicted 9-8 and miss the playoffs again!! Quote
volcom69 Posted September 27 Report Posted September 27 Hate to see what the Jags do to this defense. Not sure I’m a believer in Golden at this point. Quote
volcom69 Posted September 27 Report Posted September 27 Unfortunately think Zac Taylor continues to hold this team back. Are they ever ready to play this big AFC North teams, never seems like it. You know they have enough to be good, maybe even enough to go all the way, if they could stop doing the stupid shit! Stop the penalties, stop turning the ball over, it continues to be these stupid dumb self inflicted wounds that hurt. I don’t know now just blowing off some steam lol, really had my hopes especially about this defense and they let me down the whole team that is lol. I guess the teams they beat still can’t win, so maybe we don’t know who the bengals are yet, but damnit on paper they look fantastic. So stop the stupid shit and win!!! Quote
volcom69 Posted September 27 Report Posted September 27 Just read Shemar Stewert didn’t play 1 snap today? Is this true? If so WHY! Play him see what he can give you, if not then let Landon Robinson come up and play. I don’t get it Quote

HoosierCat Posted September 27 Author Report Posted September 27 Offense was mid. Defense was bad. Teams were atrocious. Zac had no answers. Golden was out coached, badly. It’s really amazing how this happens year after year, decade after decade. The Bengals never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. On the plus side at least I can toss my expectations in the trash and find more productive ways to waste my Sundays. Don’t worry Army, it’s all yours now. 1 Quote
volcom69 Posted September 27 Report Posted September 27 Yup unfortunately that game left us with more questions than answers! Others teams just look at that tape, thsts how you will expose a Al Golden defense, and it’s bad! Quote
volcom69 Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 Just saw a stat that said Burrow is 1-34 in games when he is trailing with 8:00 min left. WTF kind of crazy stat is that Think it’s time they start letting Pitcher call games see if shit gets any better. You think after all these years they would learn how to win these freaking close games 1 Quote
Saintsfan1 Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 I know you are upset about this. To tell you the truth, I expected a split before the season. Bengals did beat the Texans week 2 and the Bucs week 1. They do have a tough game against Jacksonville, but Jacksonville has owned the AFC North when they are good, and I expect them to beat the Ravens and Steelers if they win that game. You do have Dolphins and Titans in the next four games. If the Bengals can beat the Steelers week 10, I think the possibly more challenging games will be Jacksonville, Baltimore, Atlanta(idk why I think this, maybe because of Robinson), and New Orleans before a possible run.

Prophecy Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 And just like that, all AFC North teams at 2-1 Quote

Joe Burrow has a bad win-loss record in games he loses. Quote
COB Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 Rough loss. Those first two Steeler td drives were the killers. The method - super quick short passes. Negates our pass rush and our great d tackle, puts the onus on our linebackers to make plays. It really was a great game plan by them, put our weakest position group right in the middle of every play. Also, their run game exploited our d ends inability or unwillingness to set the edge. Really torched us a few times getting outside our ends. I imagine we’ll see more of the same until we figure a way to counter it. Quote

Really torched us a few times getting outside our ends. Thing is, anyone with access to the internet could have told you that was exactly their game plan for both of their games prior to this matchup. Rodgers has been dinking and dunking for 3 straight weeks with some passes downfield here and there. They really only had Warren out of the backfield and despite that, he seemingly wasn't spied and went off for 127 yards rushing and another 49 receiving. Who let that happen? Don't get me started on missed tackles either. Can someone also explain the decision to put other players back for kick and punt returning duties when Meyers was fully healthy? It REEKS of a Zac Taylor decision to get cute when there is absolutely no need to do so. "You know what they won't see coming? Putting a guy in to return punts that has not taken a single punt return to this point in the season." "Yeah, wait until they get a load of THIS." "OOPS" Fucking stupid and fuck you Williams. What the hell defense? Where were you all day? Hey Murphy and other DE's... You forgot the seal the edge more times than I can count. You know, that shit any high schooler could tell you needs to happen? Al Golden... Eat a dick. How can you be so ill prepared to face a division rival when knowing you have to keep up with really strong teams in the AFC, not to mention now being 0-1 in the division? Pre-snap penalties are still a problem that has yet to be addressed. I've heard people bashing Joe and he really does need to hold onto the ball, but he also makes plenty of plays with his legs to keep things alive. He steps up into the pocket about as good as anyone in the league. That one just really hurt. All that being said, they just have to move on to focus on the Jags. Get back to the jungle and have a better game plan moving forward. Quote
volcom69 Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 This coaching staff has me more concerned than anything. There game planning sucks, there adjuments in game and halftime sucks, there game management sucks, the players prepared to play sucks! This offseason the bengals ownership spent huge money on good/great defense players, kept the o-line together, they went out and did there part. However at the end of the day the defense looked like nothing changed much. I mean how much do they need, impact DT, first round draft picks at the ends, great safety. Every team is going to have certain weekneses, they can’t be all pro at every level, but is that not where coaches come in a coach them to be better or be good? Does that happen here? So the game plan sucked yesterday, Pitt had a great game plan, is that not up to the coaches to see that and change things so that guys are in better position? Does that happen here? If guys can’t tackle is that not up to the coaches to find guys who can? Was not expecting them to win every game. But once again when you score 27 on a Pitt defense you should win that game! Pitt couldnt even score 7 points the week before. Pitt had a terrible o-line worth rookies all over the place, where was the push, the pressure. I dont where they go from here regroup be better, game plan better, make better adjustments? Sure all good question is are the coaches here good enough to do that? Same shit every year and it’s getting annoying and old! Quote

Yesterday’s game was a replay of one we’ve all seen again and again over the last 30-odd years. The Bengals were dubbed “the Bungles” because they constantly lost due to their own unforced errors. All opposing teams had to do was come in, play a clean game, and wait for the Bengals to implode. You didn’t have to beat them, just give them enough rope and they would beat themselves. They did it again yesterday. Steelers had nothing to do with the muffed punt or the roughing the kicker penalty. Those were 100 percent on the Bengals and handed 10 points to Pitt. On the plus side yesterday pushed them from 25 to 17 in the 2027 draft, so getting closer to that top 10 pick! Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 The defense was able to get some pressure on Rodgers and Dexter had two sacks yesterday. That being said, they couldn't maintain that and as the game went on, it showed. Not sure if that's the defense getting tired, a lack of preparation and play calling, but it was noticeable. The Steelers were double teaming Dexter on damn near every snap. How come none of the edge rushers made an impact? That is exactly what they hope for and expect, except it didn't play out that way in the game. Instead you saw the edge not getting set (like I mentioned) and a dink and dunk approach which they should have damn well saw coming and been prepared for. Happy to see Knight wasn't out long after his neck and shoulder scare, but the linebackers straight up sucked fat donkey balls yesterday and played a large part in why Warren was able to go off the way he did. I really don't enjoy harping on the linebackers (I know that may come as a surprise), but DAMN. They are absolutely devoid of depth at the position as well. Hoping this is a one off. Quote
fishky Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 It's simple. Defense was mediocre but stepped up when needed. Offense was as competent as expected. Special teams gave up 10 points. 1 Quote
volcom69 Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 Why didn’t Stewert play even 1 snap? Not like Ced and Murphy were doing great? I mean you don’t know you have unless you play him. Quote
HoosierCat Posted September 28 Author Report Posted September 28 I suspect the Stewart thing was just Zac/Al operating on the idea that this was an important game so you want your most experienced players out there. That said I agree, he needs to play. I don’t think there’s more than a 50/50 shot that Murphy gets a second contract here so it would be nice to know if Stewart has anything to offer. Quote
volcom69 Posted September 28 Report Posted September 28 Well now that the bengals are done playing the Steelers, the Steelers will go back to scoring 6 points this week against the Browns. Interesting to me is how the Browns get rid of there best defensive player, and are playing some really good defense. Quote
