***Week 2 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Bears***

[Frank Booth]

Well out defense is good.

And at least we have a top 5 WR trio

Right?

[jeremydc]

To think we have fans like yall. Calling it early and whining. We played a solid game. Burrow got spooked but who could blame em with that o line. This team has a lot of potential.

On the flip side, the Bears needed ALL THREE of those interceptions AND Wilson not picking up the fumble to barely get out of this one with a win.

Yeah I just can't help but blame the play calling. So much talent being wasted on offense

That's a bullshit take. I mean they gave up 13 points. You shouldn't ever lose when your defense only gives up 13 points. They were put in constant shit situations again because of the offense and kept the game close.

Folks are happy with the defense because it is vastly superior to the last few seasons.  Beefing up the depth in the secondary will make them an excellent unit.

The Rams let the coach go they knew wasnt that good. lol

Yeah the defense is good. Could have better play calling/better game plan.

[*michaelsean*]

Sorry but the D gave up 13 points, and at least three of them don’t really count. They did fine.

[Rubekahn29]

Too many mistakes. Poor play calling. And for how well the defense played, they failed when it really mattered. This is an okay team that is made bad because of their terrible coaches.

What drugs are you on? I’m genuinely curious.

Exactly. The Bears weren't that good.  The Bengals offensive approach was just that bad.

I don’t know why people insist the Bears are a bad team. The Bengals aren’t a great team, but the Bears aren’t trash. You just can’t win games with that many turnovers and not getting the offense off the ground.

The off-season narrative was that getting spooked after an injury was only for cowardly QBs from Cali.

He was better than Mixon. Don’t get the hype with this guy. Rarely makes anything happen. Is it the line, i dunno but the amount of carries he gets he should hit one more often than he does.

[Bengalitis]

A win over the squeelers would make this game be swept under the rug much easier.

We've gone from suck to blow?

[NUGDUKWE]

They should've been trying to stretch the field earlier in the game. The one to Higgins just barely missed and the defense looked lost on the Chase score. This is on Taylor.

In what world was that a "solid game" by the offense? I would be so scared to see what you consider a bad game. 

[Gdale_Bengal]

Yeah, 4 turn overs and 4 sacks. Not a good game.

The offensive line is going to make this year very long. Not gonna get to 5 wins.
