The Bengals are a disappointment and there is something wrong with Joe. Not sure what it is but there is something off with Joe this year. The confidence swag is being forced it appears not the same confident player he was.. The outfits is for show but when the actual show starts it is a dud. Not giving up on the year but this team is mediocre at best.
Not sure if it is the quality of the NFL that has changed or we are just not that good but something seems a bit off.. with the NFL and the Bengals this year.
Can anyone place their finger on what it is...??

Burrow and Chase largely are emotionless during games. Guys don't seem amped.

Tampa 2 defense. Same they they did to Carson 2006 forward. They have to learn to beat it.

Chase basically is doubled. Teams play Cover 2 and have taken the deep plays away.
We lived off of long splash plays last year.
This year...we rarely even try to throw deep.

Honestly Higgins not in really hurt us. Wish we would've used Boyd a bit more. But really not running the ball from the 1yd line is what probably did us in.

Joe was trending up the past two weeks but trends back down tonight. He’s not playing as well as he did last season. That’s a factual observation. There is still plenty of season left, though. The loss tonight hurt. Two early divisional losses really sting.

Apparently doubling Andrews and putting an actual fast corner on the receiver was beyond the mental ability of our coaches.

Joe Burrow seems frustrated with himself. He knows he can play better and must feel like he is letting the team down. He might have expected an awesome offensive line and they are not protecting him well.
Who Dey!

I kind of feel like coming out in week 1 and turning the ball over 5 times has Burrow and our offense playing things a bit too safe for fear of getting all swaggery and laying a massive egg again.
