Need a big Burrow scramble to slow the pass rush
What an accurate throw to Chase there
Mixon afraid to go straight up field and cost a first down possibly

anyone who was anti spain was extremely short sighted. Guy was sold all regular season
Do we have a RB that can pass block on 3rd downs? Oh how they need another Gio back there for that.
Rough opening quarter. Nowhere to go but up, right?

Did he ever get signed anywhere?

Several teams played their starters during the preseason

Far too often Mixon runs like he forgets he is a 230lb RB. Didn't that time. Run a MF over.

We need a rock that can just to in a straight line, can Patrick do it? 
With how horrifically the offense has played up to this point, it's really good to only be down 7 points.

This current drive is going okay so far. If they can get this one in the endzone, we'll be all square and then we'll take over from there.

his run blocking is 100% his strength

Yes but at LT and with the weapons they have they need a great pass blocking LT.

Including the one we are playing now.

Yeah 7 points is being blown out. How about you blow it out your ass all of the dang gameday woe is Cincinnati if we don’t have a 30 point lead constantly we suck
I think it's going to take about half the game for the offense to gel a bit

I have to imagine both Spain and the Max guy are better than Volson right now. Don’t get it.
I’m just glad we are only down by 7

One of the worst quarters Burrow has played for us.
Obvious rust and lag mentally by Burrow and the line. WRs and Mixon are pretty much midseason form already.

La’el doing well on TJ. Actually really good since that swat. Karras and Cappa doing well but Karras and Burrow have to ID blitzes better.
I mean,


The run blocking seems fantastic. Mixon isn't dancing in the backfield.

But it's easier to stop if all we have is that and the short pass.
Bengals should for sure be buyers for any potential trades.
