Hope Logan Wilson stays healthy he played great week 1 every year he seems to get better.

If you want something different, you have to act different. Zac has to switch it up to motivate somebody out there.
We are going to the show me state. It’s about time for the Bengals to show me what they got. No more 5 yard passes,
Lets open this game up.

A happy Chase + a healthy Tee + Burrow bringing his A-game + our old D = only way we beat the Chiefs.
0-2 after tomorrow.

Of course we are not.
Not exactly a dumpster fire, though.
There's more weeks to go.

No thanks - I want an athletic edge rusher or DT. Plus the Bengals are probably not on Deions list of teams Hunter and his son will play for.
I don’t like Deion and I’m glad when they get their butts kicked. Too much ego for me. Pass on his son, too although he might be really good in the NFL. Keep flashing your expensive watches that you bought with daddy’s $…

Yeah, still a lot of football to be played. Even with a loss tomorrow, if they can take care of business against Washington and Carolina they can get some momentum before the Baltimore game. Now, beat Baltimore and it's...

Travis Hunter is difficult because he's going to be a corner in the NFL and Will Johnson is just a better corner... Maybe Benjamin Morrison too. Hunter has the crazy upside though.

If we arent THE team to beat, how did the craptastic Patriots muster up enough willpower to beat us?
RE: Bengals are NOT the team to beat in AFC - Bengalfan4life27c - 09-15-2024
Pats may surprise Teams are always better or worse than we expect early in a season
RE: Bengals are NOT the team to beat in AFC - Bengalitis - 09-15-2024
Hire Brian Callahan as Head Coach. Guy is off to a win already.

Yeah, its embarrassing to start the season at home against a team that we should beat with that little energy. The players looked lethargic and ill prepared.
There is no reason that Joe Burrow needs to look that bad in a game regardless of who we are missing. Defense showed a little fire but missed tackles against average caliber NFL players. I read about complaints of Burton sleeping in meetings but its better than players that looked like they were sleeping during the game.

Somehow find a way to win today & maybe this thread will go away.

The funny part is if we had won on Sunday, more than half of us would not recognize these same problems in the team lol

Winning makes believers of us all, as someone once said. Of course, that same person also said that you can learn a line from a win and a book from a defeat, so Zac & Co. must be hella smart this morning.

I'm 50/50 that Burrow will turn it around soon; looks like most of the league is playing cover 2 now (60% of the time) compared to 38% from a few years ago.
If we are taking Burrow's smarts over anything else, he is better than most, if not all. He may have to start adjusting to the "old man game" earlier than he wanted due to injuries, Jordan started taking turnaround jumpers when he couldn't dunk over everyone anymore.
Most QBs struggled statistically in week 1 and stats are showing the big yardage plays and games are being taken away from offenses.
The stats can look bad, only the win matters - but I would think for now, we need to feed Ja'marr Chase until he breaks one. It's sad to see college offenses way better at creativity and misdirection than us. Burrow needs to start making more suggestions, I think he's smarter than our coaches, if that's saying anything.

Yes the league is leaning into cover 2 but the Patriots used more single high coverage last Sunday.

I think they knew we only have a rusty Ja'marr out there. Wish Tee would get healthy and get back out there, he is our most physical player dare we say!?
Mixon used to be physical if he got enough time to get velocity.

The funny part is, if we do win, what does that say about last week.
