I agree with you. They were dicks before, during, and after that game. It's been awhile since they've won a couple of games, and it shows. I'm already tired of their fans around here. Seriously.... They've won 4 ******' games.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

I don’t really blame them. They wanted to stick it to Hue. Pretty understandable considering he blamed everyone but himself on the way out.

That defensive performance against the Browns also helped a lot in not being the worst defense of all time yardage-wise.
As long as the Bengals defense hold teams to under 441.2 yards a game, they will not beat the Saints record back in 2011 of 7,042 yards given up.

I want my QB to be cocky and even sometimes dickish if he can back it up. Most of the greats all have that attribute.

Marvin has successfully turned that awful defense around 360 degrees. Impressive stuff

I don't know where you live, but I live in northern Ohio.....and the Clowns fans are exactly why I can't stand them. They win one game and all of a sudden, they are the best team in the AFC. Mayfield may be the new Pig Pen for us Bengals fans once Pig Pen retires....Ugh.

Nick Chubb came into that game averaging well over 5 yards per carry, but we held him to just 3.0. I look for us to do the same to the Broncos rookie RB sensation Phillip Lindsay. Lindsay has been the Broncos sole bright spot over the last couple of weeks. After gaining at least 350 yards in 6 of their first 8 games the Broncos have failed to reach that mark in their last 3 games.
If Driskal can stay away from turnovers I think we can move the ball on Denver's 25th ranked defense. Playoff push starts this Sunday. Since 2011 the Bengals have won 60% of their games in the last 5 weeks of the season. Only 6 teams have a better record than that.

It's time for the dead-cat-bounce. Get ready to go 3-2, finishing with a 8-8 record and the 16th pick of draft who won't play until 2021.

Eh, there's a little bit of truth to what he said. He said "after a game and a half" which means look at the 2nd half stats. They are much better, and considering we were missing a lot of starters, it wasn't all bad. Now the first half, that was bad.

Or maybe the Browns took their foot off the gas? We'll see how the defense looks vs Denver. I expect to see some early scoring from Denver.

When you have a 35-7 second half lead with a rookie QB on the road and the other team's backup QB in the game, you play to avoid turnovers and short fields that could get the other team back in the game. Do not be duped into thinking that defense suddenly got good.

If they took their foot off the gas, that was a huge mistake, as the score was closing pretty quickly towards the end of the game. I really do not think Greg Williams is a "take your foot off the gas" type of coach.... more like a "In your face, we're running the score up" type....

Maybe. But why did it take an entire half for Marvin's teachings to set in? Why did it not happen when the score was even and both teams were trying to score rather than spend clock?

See, now I'm in the position of trying to defend Marvin, which I do not want to do because I want him gone.... but, I try to be fair. He has been DC for 2 games. How quickly did people expect him to be able to turn this defense around? After the last couple of horrendous games giving up 500 yds., I think a half of 66 yds. is a pretty big turn around. Maybe it took 6 quarters for the players to finally get what he is saying to them..... who knows...… if they can repeat it this week, great.

The Browns threw exactly 4 passes in the 2nd half of that game. 4. They obviously were playing conservatively with a big second half lead.

Good thing this forum is limited to Bengal fans only.
Hate to have someone come in here and say something positive about the Bengals.
Do you all realize how absurd it is to accuse a fan of being a "troll" because he says something positive abut his favorite team?

Saying something positive about your team that's realistic like - Tyler Boyd is having a hell of a season despite all the adversity. Is fine
Twisting, turning, tap dancing, spinning, and cherry picking just to get responses is a bit different.
