Momentum as a feeling might exist, but it doesn’t do anything to improve play.

Wholeheartedly disagree. How many times have we seen a totally deflated offense or defense come out with more energy after a turnover

I like how my stupid Facebook is full of the nfl page showing all these Lawrence highlights but the game was won by the bengals scoring on every drive in the 2nd half.

24-7 in the second half.

Exactly. Everyone remembers the instances where a 4th down stop leads to a TD but no one remembers the instances where the offense just goes 3 and out afterwards.

Bengals need to stop laying an egg on offense in one half of the game. Chicago, Minnesota, jags game. Can’t continue like that.

The OL put up a second good week in a row aside from Hopkins problems - and there it looked like they compensated for him schematically - did you notice the pass blocking angles looked different after halftime?

Ladies and Gentlemen your 3-1 Cincinnati Bengals!

You can disagree if you’d like but this isn’t an opinionated thing. This has been studied thoroughly. There isn’t anything there to suggest that momentum exists. Teams don’t improve their play after ‘momentum’ defining plays.

I’m happy now so I no longer wish to argue.

But come on - 27,789 times bitten, 55,578 times shy.

That kick McPherson made tonight, and in Week 1 are the kicks Shayne Graham and Fat Randy missed.

Nice!! What a great game.

If you’re complaining, reassess your attitude. Before, Jacksonville wins that game. This definitely isn’t the same Bengals.

Who Dey!

Enjoy the win.

I am amazed Lawrence had less than 3 turnovers though. 

Get off my coat tails. You said the HC "bonered".. You did the opposite of calling it

Two prime time wins in a row (going back to last year) right?

Waynes and Chido back makes Apple CB #4/5 now

Matched play Joey B. with the escape and a great ball rolling left.

Apple probably won't start. Waynes is back now & Chidogi should be back by then as well.

Correct.

2 straight.

Wait until you inform people there is no correlation between establishing the run game and effectiveness of play action.

Lol is it manifestation or just lazy players deciding to pull their weight once they see teammates busting their ass hence momentum
