Unless the UC basketball team is playing

I wouldn't even compare Dan Marino to Joe Burrow today.

Yeah, been a bit of a frustrating half for the defense. 2 very bad drives.  But these posts about the defense being terrible are absolutely ridiculous.

They are 10th in scoring D, 15th in YPG. 3rd in sacks.

Anyone else laughing when what’s his name was talking about the orange gloves standing out against the ball and then realizing what road he was heading down?

[Kaiden.Gower]

Some of y’all are dumb af lol. Saying the chase throw was bad he was legit just throwing it to bring attention to get the call smh. Man didn’t get bailed out he’s assuring the call

[Joelist]

Okay. Nice to see them come out and play well (on offense) in the first half. Defense has been tepid at best.

Rats get ball first so we REALLY want them off the field in a 3 and out or a turnover. Then punch it in again and effectively make the Rats pass only.

[Bengalitis]

Finally, the offense has awaken. Thank you Santa.

Those look like Joe's numbers his last year at LSU.

Bengals exterminating crows so far. Gotta be better on "D". It gets tougher next week.

[grampahol]

I'd love to see the Bengals drop another 31 on em in the 2nd half 62-28 would suit me just fine.. LOL

I never said they were terrible.

[Timanky12]

How many missed tackles today? 10 or more. It’s the same every week, they can’t tackle.

We can hang w anyone when our O plays their potential.

So much talent it’s scary.

No idea why we don’t crush it weekly.

Because they don't play the 31st ranked pass defense every week.

Not taking anything away from the great game the Bengals offense are playing, but the Ravens are trotting out their 8th and 9th CBs.

Inconsistency of Oline play, sometimes questionable play calling,  ... and they Ravens D backfield has been pretty ravaged by injuries, covid.

Talent is there at the skill positions for sure.

[*pally*]

Do you guys remember when it was the Bengals who were getting stabbed in the heart with the opponent driving the field for a TD with less than 2 minutes to go to halftime? Isn't it nice to do it to someone else?

All true. But they'd better start playing like it.

31 in the first half. Just perusing through the first 12 pages.... some of you are looking quite silly right now.
