The rest of the game is next to meaningless.
I don't blame the new coach. The Marvin Mess will take time to fix. I'm all into the new coach and NEW DEY. not seize the dey, that stinks...instead of who dey, NEW DEY, as people on this site came up with.
I'm hoping 1st string looks better in preseason game 3 first half. If they don't, it could be a real beating in Seattle when the games count. So far no Blocking, No Tackling, Too many O Line penalties.
This was NOT a win. Better luck next week. GO BENGALS.
That first string drive against Chiefs was better than 1st quarter against Redskins. This game was a step backwards. The First Quarter O Line was just Awful. I don't see how the new coaches can be celebrating that.
Run game, we have no run game. The O Line doesn't block, just as last few years. Mixon or none will gain yards with no run blocking. No run game means defenses will tee off on our QB and passing game. With no run blocking, this team is doomed. They must develop some run blocking. The 1st String had none last night.
It was a preseason game, many negatives and many positives. On a side note, I have seen many games our team has outplayed a team in quarter 1 (dominated them and made them look bad) and our team has been dominated in quarter 1 only to have the poor performance overcome in quarters 2-4.
I think you need to relax, we saw a backup QB win a job last night, we saw a rookie LB (Pratt) dominate at times, rookie Sample played well and hart and Glenn also held up well in pass protection. Price looked much better. Dalton did not play well in limited action and others did not as well. Let's see game #3, it is the game both teams normally play starters more.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
