Goaline is a 12th defender.

Rams have it right now. Bengals don't.
The fastest player the Bengals have on offense dressed today would probably be Alex Erickson....

Let's see how that plays out, lol. Haven't had an exciting game since Seattle...

D holds again
Going into today (I think), Bengals D was 4th best in league in red zone TD conversion efficiency %. But they also were one of the worst teams in number of times allowing Os reaching the red zone too.

How dare you bring up the NFL being fixed for the purpose of money/ratings in a manner which doesn't trash the Bengals!?

We've went over and over the stats. Even when the offensive line blocks well, a lot of our plays don't work.
Plus, we have Hart, Price, Hopkins, and Redmond out there. Those guys all started at points last year and our offense wasn't this bad.
The line excuse is getting old. It's scheme and playcalling too.
Just like the stats that show basically every player on the roster is worse this year.

EDIT: wow. That was a surprise.

I really shouldn’t get that excited when we gain 3 yards on a run. Feels like a 20 yard play these days..

Need to dump 11 personnel and go 21 with Joe and Gio on swing passes out of the backfield.
Suck up the defense, then hit them over the top deep.
Like that!

So far, they're emphasizing the run and throwing to Eifert.

That pass alone secures Dalton for another week.
