Yah never know, they could surprise and start playing better but it might be too late and the way Zac and Joe like to throw the ball so much 
is just a bad gamble. 3 things can happen when you pass and 2 of them are bad. 

Plus, you expose your QB to hits.

For sure, we saw the way the Eagles take the pressure off of Jalen Hurts with the running game, screens etc.

They made it so Trey was not a factor and that is what our Offense needs to learn how to do other pass rushers. Twatt will destroy Joe 
when we play them dirty bastids if this keeps up.

Exhibit A

Undercenter, Motion... Explosive run and didn't have to block anyone on the 2nd level!! Pratt formationed out, Wilson bad angle/fit, NB wants no part of that shift assignment...

Philly offense is evolving!! pic.twitter.com/mAxzSpLLlx

Pratt and Wilson are always out of position but people keep praising them because PFF. 

I call bullshit.

I can't quit ill watch no matter how ugly it gets unfortunately. Something i was thinking about earlier is whether or not out defense was ever this bad under Marvin Lewis? I guess his last year and we fired the DC mid season. It was unacceptable to put a product this bad out there. Now it's fine? In a believed to be superbowl window one of the easiest schedules in the league this is acceptable? Not just Lou feels like we are waiting every year for the offense to be able to win us games and that doesn't seem to be happening.

Well, that means Tomlin has another above .500 season.

I mean I'm not going to "give up" until the math doesn't math anymore.

However honestly this team needs a top 5 pick in rounds 1-7 to turn the page onto the 2nd chapter of Burrow career. The Bengals do not make trades or a rare free agent off-season moves enough so that is the only way out.

Still would have to hit on the picks lol

kevin what the ****

Bengals in a nutshell: J. Bates was named the Falcons MVP after his first season in Atlanta. He had a career-high 132 tackles, six interceptions, three forced fumbles, and 89 solo tackles. He also earned second-team All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl invite.

Bates finished his sixth season with a career high in every major statistical category.

Jessie Bates III was worth every penny as secondary's leader in 2023 -- Falcons breakdown

if only we can play the Giants every week we might have a chance but its not looking good

Anthony Richardson could use a kevin pep talk.

Those ready to QUIT before Halloween, it is too early.  There is NO QUIT in Football.

GO BENGALS, beat the Raiders.

Excellent thread, kevin! Rep for keeping the faith!

I dont blame them for that one. Still cant figure out why Pratt and Davis Gaither were signed over Bates or Reader
