Andy Dalton.  But Burrow appears displeased to say the least, and from Hobspins fluff it appears Reader is perturbed as well. He said "That can't happen, people have to want to win"  I'm still all in on them getting this fixed and having a good season.

Scores of games never dictate how dominant one team or a game is over another. The s___t stains last night kept raising the lollipop an inch at a time and Cinci could never get a fingertip on it.

You got a 1st rounder sitting on the bench. What's that even tell you. Every year it's "this group will be fine", "that group will be fine", etc. I agree they're closer than the past couple seasons and with Burrow he'll change the spirit of the team but they got NOTHING from their D last night. zero zero zero pressure the entire night. LB's not fighting off tackles, DB's missing tackles.

Hunt and Chubb are going to put up numbers.... If the offensive line was just a little better, we have more points than the 30 we put up and win that game.
