This game makes me excited about the defense. They played the most physical football that I have seen by a Bengals teams since 2015. If this defense keeps this physicality, Burrow can win some games here.
Obviously this team responded to the embarrassment that was last week. Is this a fluke game, or start of an ascending team?
I told Holic a few weeks ago I was taking a break.
Negative posts, people pulling for the team to lose and one particular trash poster just made this place miserable.
But watching this game, I had to at least come in for one post about it since I know there are a few other Bengal fans who didn't want to see the losing continue.
This is what I wanted to see from this team. Beat your rival, in primetime and play physical football. This win will do more for the Bengals 2021 season then any draft pick. They just proved to themselves they can beat the bully of the division and they did it without Boyd, Mixon, Burrow, Reader, Geno, etc, etc...
The guys who will be back here next season should be able to build from this and hopefully start changing the losing culture.
The talk of losing out to get Sewell all seem pointless now, since he's gone at 2 to the Jets after they screwed up and won to miss out on Lawrence. (They won't replace Darnold with Fields, it is a lateral move.) So, beat Houston, beat Baltimore, finish with 5 wins and an attitude that things can actually change.
It's damn nice to actually beat Pitt when they needed that win.
