We need 28 a game to compete with our trash defense




But as much as we all question Zac at times he and Pitcher have had success on offense.

Defense gave up more points every game until today when we finally stopped the trend and held CAR to 24

Cam was horrible today. What is going on with him? He got burned every time and even when he intercepted the ball he held prior to that.

I was more mad at Lou for keeping him in the game. He should've been benched for the game with his play and if Andy didnt overthrow a pass he wouldve gotten burned for a big TD.

I thought DJ Turner came in and played well and tight against the defenders and when I saw Cam back in the game thought "Are we trying to lose this game?"

Shocked to see how badly his play was this afternoon.

First off, WHO-DEY!

First win of the season!

Being a hopeless optimist when it comes to this team, here's hoping we can turn the season around!

First off, I thought Mims played a hell of a game against Clowney! He had one bad play that resulted in Burrow's interception, but it was a hell of a game outside of that. I'' happily take that.

Chase Brown's a good back and will have a hell of a career. Hopefully he'll be more involved. Moss also looked pretty good.

Carolina's defensive line isn't good, but we took care of business.

Burrow looked mobile and amazing.

Jenkins looked amazing and let's hope he keeps it up and it sparks the rest of our defense.

Bell looked good in his revenge game.

Wasn't impressed with Volson.

Taylor-Britt also played a bad game.

Let's hope we can keep the momentum going!

What did you see?

I missed the second one, but I really didn't see much to justify the first one.

I have a feeling this is going to be a bad man, and will be a great player for us. Looking forward to him being 100%, getting Jackson, Hill, Rankins and Murphy back.I think this defense is about to turn the corner when we start getting some of these guys on the field.

Zax said it was a neck stinger and that they will know more when they get home

Well, our boys finally got one in the win column. There are a few good candidates for the game ball. Who you got for the 1st game ball of 2024:

JOE BURROW: 232 passing yards, 2 TDs, 100.5 Passer Rating

CHASE BROWN: 80 rushing yards @ 5 YPC, 12 receiving yards,  2 TDs

JA'MARR CHASE: 3 catches, 85 yards, 1 TD

VONN BELL: 6 tackles. 1 INT

LOGAN WILSON: 10 tackles, 1 QB Hit

EVAN MCPHERSON: 6 of 6 for 10 points and a long of 58

We may have won today, but it was a hollow victory. There were some highlights -- Chase Brown comes to mind. However, the caliber/level you'd expect at this point in the season is just not there. Again.

Coaching, slow starts, bad trades, whatever the reason(s) -- the spirit is just not consistently there. Are we forever regulated to have flash-in-the pan intermittent SB seasons, only to always inevitably fall back into mediocrity? It's MADDENING!

BJ was stretching with the team so hopefully he will be back next week

No surprises with Bengals inactives

Right now it doesn't matter if it looks pretty. We are down the following players either to IR or to injury but not IR yet:

Sample - Season ending IR
Jackson - IR
Murphy - IR
Rankins - OUT (Hammy)
Hill - Doubtful (Hammy)
Hubbard - Playing on injured Hammy

Just getting back Murphy and Jackson is a big improvement. Hopefully we also get Hill and possibly Rankins too - so far we have yet to see the intended DL group.
