***Week 11 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Raiders***

[sonofstat]

their defense is overwhelming us right now...REALLY worried about burrow in 2nd half - thought his knee was gone on that last play of the half

He's still the future of the team, but I'm not convinced this team really deserves to be called a legitimate playoff threat at this point.

People forget that A, he is human. B, he's barely played what...20 games? He needs some work and that is clearly obvious from anyone that plays football. 

Dude still has the best passes rating in the AFC and 8th in the NFL.

I'm seeing the Raiders keeping the Raiders at bay. They kept shooting themselves in the foot.

He is also constantly feeling pressure before there even is any. Compounding a problem by running out of a clean pocket.

The biggest issue is not the players but the offensive scheme right now.

The Bengals are not marrying the Run Offense with the Pass Offense and it's been a big problem for a large chunk of the season. So far it's been 1 throw from under center and 1 run from the shotgun and that was to take it to the two minute warning.

I’d argue a few turnstiles would offer a bit more resistance than what we are seeing

I'm pretty worried about his knee. The way he's scrambling like nuts, I don't remember when Brady ever did that, jus throw the ball away and save yourself.

I'm officially off the "not terrible" offensive line. These dudes SUCK.

I will have to watch the game on rewind, but haven't seen much clean pocket. He's still taking hits well after throwing.

Looks like the Chiefs found their groove again. I wonder what thats like

It’s a coping mechanism

They don’t want to accept that Frank pollack and Riley reef aren’t the answers

They really thought the 3 studs at receiver would just magically open up the running game

Did I read "who do you want him to throw to"? Now that's superb trolling.

Had to listen to the 1st half. We are winning right?

Also who gets the ball to start the 2nd half?

Yes winning Raiders get the ball to start the 2nd

People also need to realize Raiders don't blitz a lot. They are extremely effective with just sending their pass rushers, meaning they can keep 7 in coverage. Burrow isn't seeing people open because really there isn't. 9 pressures on Burrow already.

Yeah, I think he's getting hit every effing pass play.

Burrow has 78 yards lol..

It's the scheme the Raiders defense is filling gaps when Burrow is under center and dropping when hes in the gun.

Issue is the offense not the players.

Is Joe automatically going to Chase as his
1st read? If so he is probally doubled everytime
Downfield. Higgins as only 2 targets all day.
