Three Straight Road Games: An Observation

If the defense rose up and forced even a couple punts, I think that game becomes a shootout.  

One thing about Burrow, and he did this against the steelers on the road coming off a horrible loss:  He never has back-to-back clunkers.  He always adjusts and comes back even more determined.  

Maybe he will make a liar out of me with a clunker at Vegas, but I really doubt it.  I am very confident in Joe.  My biggest fear right now is Chido being able to play off the COVID list.  I believe he is vaccinated, but they really need that guy.  

Yes, thankfully if this was going to happen, it happened during the bye week. Freakin' Chubb spreading his cooties all over the NFL

After that, five of the next seven are at home.  Very exciting!

Oh, and I forgot to say:  "THANKS DOLPHINS!!!"  

Think the Phins watched what we did to Lamar and did a lot of the same things. They made him look even worse lol

If the Phins actually had a run game and a decent QB they could be good. I like that D I saw last night.

Got right to the end zone, then threw the pick 6?  Remember when Burrow then turned right around and marched them down the field and scored? I've seen too many Bengals teams that would fold when adversity hit to negate the influencing of this team by JoeyB

Same here, Joe hits back after he gets hit. He isn't going to give in that is for damn sure.

Proud of our guy, he just needs to stop throwing INTS is all. 

I keep saying this every week though, maybe I should just stop.

Chido man, sure hope he plays, he has been great this year. Need to see our Defense get back to what it was before we 
faced the Jets. This Bye week is huge for our D.

Phins got a little lucky that Rats were coming off an OT game, traveling, and the short week.  But they did have a good gameplan on defense.  I liked all those bodies at the LOS.  I wish we had that more aggressive style more often.  I think it fires up your whole team.  Creates turnovers.
