14 straight losses on primetime when on the road

To put some more context on the 0-14 skid in regular season and playoff primetime road games -- a stat you all love so much -- here is the full list of games with the #Bengals record at the time, the opponent's record, final score and a note: pic.twitter.com/AKmzHqaLgw

Can anyone share? I'm curious about the O-Line especially.

Anthony Brooks, known to Bengals fans as Tony da Tiger, is Cincinnati's 2023 Fan of the Year. Now he goes us against the other 31 nominees for the overall Fan of the Year winner.

We all know Cincinnati fan votes can put our players over the top...now let's get one of our best-known fans to the winner's circle also

"The NFL has suspended Texans linebacker Denzel Perryman for three games for repeated violation of player safety rules.

Perryman's latest infraction was a helmet-to-helmet hit to Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase with 4:07 remaining in Sunday's game, for which he received an unnecessary roughness penalty.

"You lowered your head and delivered a forcible blow to the shoulder and then the head/neck area of the receiver. You had unobstructed path to your opponent and the illegal contact could have been avoided," NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan wrote in his letter to Perryman."

I'm happy to see this. It was so egregious. I tried to google the hit after the game because I thought it should be publicized, but couldn't find it. Chase had given himself up, only to be slammed in the head by Perryman. Chase easily could have received a concussion.

Why are we so exclusive to the 2 linebacker nickel set??we have been gashed all year long with this alignment,could it be that the safeties can't fill at the same rate as von and Jessie??Why can't we mix in some base 4-3 with ADG on the field??I'm pretty sure he would be better at run fits than our safeties at the moment..

Can we be more aggressive at LOS on the outside?we've been in off coverage far too much for my liking of late, I have no problem playing some of the zones we play, but we can still be physical while playing some of those concepts..The cold hard truth is that we have been a soft defense this year it's like we lost our physical nature somewhere,look at the Tennessee game for an example they absolutely manhandled us..In previous years against pretty much the same team we never got manhandled by them this team needs to get back to being physical..

Wanted to make a state of the playoffs thread since i haven’t seen one on here yet




In right now:

Chiefs Division lead and play this year
Ravens DL play this year
Jaguars DL play this year
Dolphins DL
Steelers WC 2x games still to play
Browns WC still play this year
Texans WC Lost to


On the bubble

Bengals 4 losses
Raiders 5 losses
Chargers 5 losses
Bills 4 losses Won against
Colts 5 losses Still play them this year



So the most unlikely scenarios are winning out and losing every game for the rest of the season. Neither of those are happening. We are too good to lose out and not good enough to win out.

Looking at this, the division is a long shot but still not out the question. Honestly the 1 seed is still in play.


But ima focus on the WC because i have a feeling that’s the goal.



Winning every division game left plus ONE of the remaining non division games would likely secure a WC spot. That’d put us at 10-7, and ii have to believe that would be enough because 10 wins usually is enough.

If we don’t win one division game all year we are cooked. If we lost our remaining 4 division games but beat ALL of Colts, Jags, Chiefs and Vikings that’s 9-8.


So with 8 games left i predict we NEED 5 wins of ANY category to make playoffs.



So with this said i predict we can lose maybe 2 more games and comfortably make playoffs. I just have to believe 1-2 AFCN teams will fall off.

The two main things we need to root for at least for the next games is Houston to keep winning and Jacksonville to lose the division led so we could own that wildcard tiebreaker. So as of 11/13 the Jags game is the most important game of the season. We also have the Colts as must win. Those 2 teams are the teams directly under us so we cannot lose a tiebreaker to them. If Jacksonville falls off we would have tiebreakers against Colts and Jags. We already have insulation against the Bills so we’re good there.


But even if we win all those non AFCN games we still need ONE win in the AFCN.



If we get 5 wins out of the next 8 games i think we are good.


I say this to say……dont lose your damn minds if we lose Thursday

a lot of guys got beat up yesterday.

Bengals did not practice Monday but NFL requires an estimated practice report. Trey Hendrickson (knee), Sam Hubbard (ankle), Andrei Iosivas (knee), Tee Higgins (hamstring) and DJ Reader (rest) all listed DNP. pic.twitter.com/NPuYinMZ7Y

REPORT: It’s going to be “tough” for #Bengals WR Tee Higgins to play in Thursday’s critical game against the #Ravens, says HC Zac Taylor

Zac Taylor didn’t make any declarations on Higgins’ game status yet, though.

Higgins missed yesterday’s game due to a hamstring injury, and the turnaround might be too short notice for him to play this week. Something to keep an eye on.

The game is on Prime. If you are local to Cincinnati or the normal Cincinnati market (think pre-season games) you can watch the game on local tv. In Cincinnati that would be WLWT, channel 5.

If your only access will be Prime and you are not already a member, they offer a 30-day free trial. If you have used up that trial you can always build yourself another email address to use when signing up.

Yes, I know the Texans are a good team. When I say this was a trap game, I'm thinking more along the lines of the Bengals overlooking the Texans to the Ravens game on Thursday.

Prior to the game, there were some on here that considered this a trap game and were worried (turns out, rightfully so). There was some "discussion" about whether or not this was even a trap game, but it's clear to me that it was. The offense disappeared after the opening drive until the 4th QTR and the defense being largely ineffective all game are evidence of that. I'm not saying the coaches didn't gameplan for the Texans, but it seems to me that they didn't put much thought into the gameplan and didn't seemingly make any adjustments until the 4th QTR.

It looks to me like the Bengals went in with a we'll beat them because we're better so we spent more time looking to the Ravens game attitude which maybe would've worked if the Texans were actually a bad team.

I just hope beating the Ravens on Thursday was worth the loss yesterday because losing to Baltimore means we may not even make the playoffs this season.
