Any Minnesota fans. We get it. We saw it all. All the breaks the Bengals got. We know more than most all that shit. I always feel a little better if people at least acknowledge it.

Oh yeah a bunch of sacks and a couple of big plays outside of that it was short runs and dinky passes. I’m not mad though we came out rusty and walked off with a win I think that’s pretty good. Hopkins looks very rusty and unready. Burrow still needs to gain more confidence in himself, but a win should help him a little bit. Such a rare thing we just saw. A Zac Taylor victory. Despite his attempts to prevent it. ![]() ![]()

Mostly all good things to say about today's game.
BJ Hill trade looking good. Larry O. looking fantastic. Joe still has it. Chase says what drops ? Joe still has it. What else you got ? ![]()

That was a legit fumble not a gift.
The DL put on a show today, the vikes had to hold like crazy or there would have been at least 4 more sacks. Meanwhile our much maligned OL outside of Hopkins looking super rusty did its job. Burrow had time and a place to step up and they did enough for run blocking to get 150 yards at over 4 a pop. ![]()

I would like to see more of Perine going forward..
Mixon played well but to me he is simply not clutch when really relied upon.. Just my opinion is all

We still burn a ton of TOs needlessly.
Gutsy call on 4th and 1.

Keep in mind that a lot of the Vikings penalties were on the offensive line, and it was not without cause. It was because they couldn't block the Bengals defensive line, leading to all those holds, false starts, and illegal procedure calls. If they don't hold, Cousins probably gets sacked 7-8 times. As it was, they got him 4 times. With some better in-game coaching by Taylor, the Bengals win this one by 2 TDs. The two biggest on-field question marks this off-season were the defensive front (pass rush and run stopping) and the play of the o-line. Those were the two biggest bright spots today. If they stop the run like they did today (they won't face many--if any--RBs like the Vikings RB), they'll be in every game. GO STRIPES!!!

Joe Mixon judt didnt break off any huge runs doesnt mean he didnt run well. I think fans confuse that.
