Hubbard is who I choose. He was so huge in stopping Lamar it’s crazy. Obviously chase is superhuman, and I don’t think any of us knew just how much we’d miss with uzomah out last year. Sheesh. Kinda feels like an Oprah moment where all bengals reach under their chairs for a game ball. Lol.

Just when the Ravens were sighing relief that AJ Green was gone Ja'Marr Chase puts up 200+ yards. Chase was a badass today.

Picked Hubbard as well; could've been anyone that Nicomo polled, but I have NEVER seen Hubbard be as disruptive and active as he was today and I'm a huge fan of him.
He lost contain on that 1 run, otherwise he cut off his lane for Lamar on virtually every play.

Chase. Ja’Marr is an absolute freak. Before the season, many people might remember me thumping for Sewell. I wanted to build a strong offensive line and draft a receiver later. I loved the Chase pick, but it just wasn’t what I was gunning for and I am stoked that Chase is here in Cincinnati. He and Burrow are going to light this league up for a long time.

I went with Other. I think Zac deserves it for this one. The Bengals dominated in all phases and only took one penalty iirc. Lots of great individual performances, but this was a big one for the culture he is building.

I went with Uzomah this time, as he is becoming the star that we had hoped he would become.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

It’s either Hubbard or Chase. For me Hubbard takes it because the game was about stopping Jackson. First loss vs Cinci, first loss in Oct. the defensive candidate wins it based on that tie breaker.

I know Bfine doesn’t normally vote in his game ball threads, but I do. :P
Uno.
I said it in the GDT, but as good as this defense is, we don’t even sniff 1st place without Chase. He has transformed this team.
And to put those kind of numbers up against one of the best CB’s in the league in Marlon Humphrey? Just insane.

I voted other. The defensive line as a whole gets my vote. Very rarely did I see guys out of their gaps or getting blown off the ball. Hendrickson played hammer, Hubbard was the anvil. The interior made nice stops and pushed the interior pocket forcing Lamar to pick his poison.

Other.. EVERYONE gets a trophy!
I have to go Uzamah since he was out with an Achilles and those things take forever to heal..

If the game stayed close, I would say Hubbard, as he was containing and harassing Jackson all day.
But in a blowout, I'm inclined to give it to this offense's spark, Ja'Marr Chase. He is electric and I think he unlocks this entire offense. I'd be really interested to see how often he was double covered and how many big plays to other receivers that may have caused.
Was it Chase that 4 guys ran to in the flat on the second Uzomah touchdown?

We didn’t score a single TD against the Ravens the last couple times we played them. We just just hung 41 on them on the road. Let that sink in.

Could a mod please set the poll to be visible on who voted for who? It never gives me that option on my phone.
Thanks.
