A win is a win. It was an ugly one though.

I think Cappa will play. Just a gut feeling.

Absolutely. Four turnovers today, I think. Second half has been offense operating like crap.

48 yards is still a drive. So is 32 yards, to a lesser extent. It's not like they started on the goal line.

Adeniji and Carmen simply have to not historically suck. Defense and Burrow can win us that game as long as Adeniji and Carmen dont have historically bad games

Carman is only playing as the extra lineman.

Outgained 354-256 by Anthony Brown, Kenyon Drake, Justice Hill, Isiah Likely, Charlie Kolar, Tylan Wallance and company. 2nd half was as ugly as it gets.

A LOT of work to do before next week.

They would run then at least. But yes, get Burrow out of the game.  Tee and Boyd as well.

Me too. 

The look he was giving seemed like a look where he knows he not SUPER hurt but he thinks hell be able to go after a week.

Not even sure how the hell they missed that...It was blatant as hell

No doubt but in all fairness s very very tough week for cincinnati. With what happened Monday along with finding the intensity to get up against the team resting a bunch of players they probably felt like they're going to walk thru this team. Very very hard just to turn it off and on.

My comment said generated on their own. Both of those drives were significantly aided by the D.

Without a doubt

Seemed like Higgins head was not in the game at all. 1 catch on 7 targets. I can understand why but he needs to get it together by next week.

They reported it as an ankle. But I still wouldn't be surprised if his knee ends up being hurt.

You're new here..We freak out if they cut the grass too short.. And it's not a grass field..

Hope you’re right, a guy that tough walking off that gingerly then being carted to the locker room is not something that gives me a lot of hope.

Well this "officiating crew" no called three Personal Fouls, two facemasks, two OPI by the Rats just today.

I wanna see another pick.

This can still turn into a blowout with a pick 6.

Send em' home in style.

That's not what generated means. The offense generated 20 points and the defense generated 7 points.

Blatant as hell. Hopefully they don’t get away with all this shit next week.
