Just give Pollak some time, he'll fix that

Really we have no actual Good offensive lineman. Yet Burrow plays at MVP level.

I think Mims is good. Bengals actually got a recent first round pick that should pan out nicely.

Interestingly, Jonah had a good rookie year. Then, stopped developing and regressed. Hopefully Mims continues to improve.

No...and didn't have a good second year either (first year playing). He gave up double digit sacks but had a middle of the pack pass block win rate (which is what many fans hung their hat on).

And yet Lou still has his job this morning. Unserious franchise.

Pratt’s score is too high. He was absolutely awful yesterday. Not getting to the ball carrier until they were 5 yards downfield and then getting dragged for 4 more after that. He’s gotta go for sure.

The following defensive guys should all be let go...
Hubbard
Pratt
Hilton
Stone
Rankins

There’s probably 5 or more that I could’ve added but you can’t replace everyone. How much $ would they be able to use towards other players if they get rid of all of the above (plus Higgins)?

Tanner Hudson continues his good play

He played 12 snaps lol

Well... he's a big slot WR. They didn't even use him on run downs this week and when they do it's from a split alignment. They need a real TE on the roster.

If they were getting rid of Lou in season, it would have been during the bye week.  Besides, you're just going to get a promoted position coach with the same defensive scheme.

Shame about Erik All, I fear he may never hold up in the NFL. My personal fav (Theo Johnson) was the TE taken just before All. I like this year's PSU TE as well (better) but I don't want to spend that high on O other than line.

No, because they were still delusional about having a shot at the playoffs. That’s over now.

You know me I've been talking about Penn State's TEs for a few years now lol. Another name I think I mentioned in the draft section is Oregon's Terrence Ferguson. Good all-around TE with alot of alignment versatility. I though he would declare last year after his TRUE Junior season. 

PFF had them with 14 missed tackles. Pathetic is an understatement.

Alex Cappa RG 39.7 ........ even worse of a game. He needs to go.

I have been hating on Cappa bad, but is this more because of the penalty that was actually on the Defense?

Ford looked much worse to me than Cappa yesterday.

And yes, Mims was good against Twatt yesterday, Joe's fumble was on him not recognizing Twatt was behind him.

Got to get that ball out and just take the incompletion.

Cappa was plenty bad himself.

We need 2 new guards.

Ugh.

That was embarrassing, how did I miss that yesterday? Yep, need 2 new Guards.

PFF has charted 303 qualified LB, CB, and S through 13 weeks.

The Bengals have two big parts of the defense at the top of the missed tackle list:

▪️Geno Stone - 16 missed tackles (5th most of 303)
▪️Germaine Pratt - 15 missed tackles (9th most of 303)

That’s the narrative.

Thanks for the pick that sealed our 1st playoff win in 31 years Germaine, but your services will no longer be required here.

Ford got beat bad by Heyward a few times. Cappa got beat all day.
