I'm not going against my prediction, they'll kill us.

.....but, there's really no reason why Cincinnati can't beat them. The league is set up for parity. Injuries effect ANY team, when they're major contributors.

I believe Lap or Hoard said they thought Chase was suppose to go long on that and if he had, it was a TD.

Yes, the long throw at the 2 minute warning. If Chase runs the go like they expected it's a TD. Miscommunication.

So Zac didn't call a bad play as the couch coaches on here were claiming...

I’m 100% an armchair coach


I love looking at the plays and critiquing them


Honestly i don’t hate Zac’s playcalling. I hate his occasional bad situational call. (Calling a 2 yard routes on 3rd and 4 and stuff like that).

His aggressiveness gets an A+ but his creativity gets a D-. I feel he’s one of the worst coaches at calling plays to get guys going. He does it with Chase because cmon…who couldn’t?

But i have not seen a signature package of plays for Boyd or Tee. It’s as if he only feels Chase is a star. When Boyd goes whole games with maybe 1-3 targets i get mad. Like it pisses me off. Luckily Boyd is a bit older and he’s smart. He knows going to another team would make it harder for him so he’s ok playing out his contract.

Personally i would’ve demanded a trade last year because I’d want to catch more balls but thankfully Boyd isn’t like me

Interestingly, Boyd is on pace for 5 receptions a game, and currently has him on target for 85 receptions this season if that pace continues.
If he reaches 80, it will be his most receptions in a season since 2019, which was the last time he had 1000+ yards.

The big thing that's been hurting Boyd this year is YPR.
Only averaging 6.8 YPR this season.
His career YPR is 11.6.

If Darnold is in then ignore the above.

How about someone that watches the game and doesn't pretend I know more about what's going on than the people that actually do it for a living...

We have had a ton of this, this season so far. Hopefully the bye week got us on the same page and Burrow is now really 100%.

If so, we can win this game for sho'

Amazing we are at .500 right now with how much bad has happened this season. Mind boggling honestly.

But, I just have this feeling, we are going to come out and match San Fran's intensity. We're going to look like the team that made it to the AFCCG last year. I think offensively, we'll get a full game from our boys. I think, defensively, it'll start off looking bad - especially the run defense, but by halftime, we'll be putting the clamps on the O and slow them down enough where we win.

Bengals 30
49ers 27

Updating my prediction if Darnold gets the start:

Bengals 34
49ers 17

CMC keeps the game close in the first half, but Darnold throws at least 2 picks which helps us expand our lead and force San Fran to pass the ball even more leading to more drive ending sacks and incomplete passes.

Whether Purdy or Darnold plays, expect heavy dose of CMC and Kittle in the middle. Big tests for Dax and Murphy. Obj and Williams have to show up against Bosa. Joe Brrr, Tee, Boyd and Chase finally all on same page.

Bengals win 27 - 24

Yea, he owned him in the AFC championship game last year. 

I do think a huge part of this game is what Joe Burrow we get. First half vs Seattle or second half? With a bye week to rest and being one week healthier I feel like we are primed to get the best of Burrow that we’ve seen this season.

And we will need him to be in prime form against that defense that will be looking to come out and make a statement after those recent losses.

And remember the only reason it isn't 4-0 is a pair of REALLY bad missed calls (Late Hit on Burrow and then missing Block in the Back on the punt return).

C'mon Fredrico ease up. 

Everybody saying the home field advantage will be the difference. Yet believe the Bengals will finally rise to the occasion and beat a great 49ers team in front of their spoiled extended pinky finger wine drinking tailgating fans to witness. 

It's Halloween time and see the Black and Orange doing their thing finally, and squeaking by a solid 49ers squad in a great game for the viewers pleasure. .
