My bad, I said have said few picked us to win the division.
But some act like now they did so losing it takes away having a shot in week 16.
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.

Josh Johnson will convert third downs with his legs today

There would be no excuse. I think I read they have like 15 defensive players. 3rd string QB with two weeks on the roster. Any given Sunday shouldn’t apply when you are playing against backup’s backups. Their backup QB is from Monmouth. Congrats to him btw as I believe that would be a $38,000 payday. If they win even a close game they need to question themselves.

Just 6 weeks ago Johnson was 27-41, 317 yds, 3 tds, (103.4 rating) against the Colts.
Colts have a better pass defense than we do.
So if we lose we move on to next week.

Don't underestimate your enemy, JJ could do a whipping. Hope Zac reminds the team of what happened during the Jets game.
Let's go Bengals!! WHO-DEY!!!

This win today would be huge, but it comes down to the Browns game, whether they make the playoffs or not.

We should be able to win this with Allen starting under center. Losing this would be bad even by our pessimistic standards.

Head Coach better have them ready to play hard for 60 minutes and no matter what they cannot underestimate Josh Johnson

I hope the Bengals coaches were smart enough to share that with the team.
If this becomes the Jets game 2.0, I’m going to be crushed.
Especially w the Stains losing last night and the Stoolers probably losing to KC.

Another chance for Taylor to show what he's about. Does the offense come out and put pressure early and often on the Ravens D, stacking points? Does the defense come out and put pressure on JJ, playing tight coverage and mixing in a greater percentage of blitzes?
This is the scenario where the typical Bengals team has the gold ring in front of them but falls on their face reaching for it, playing soft and conservative in an attempt to squeak out a win.
Same ole or new Bengals?
I'll answer that in just under 4 hours.

I mean yeah; he's not wrong.

My honest opinion is if ZT does not have this team ready to beat a 3rd string QB who doesn’t know the playbook and a team down 14 players with the division on the line, then all hope is lost and ZT should be fired.

If we lose, it will likely be OL related. Burrow yas been sacked more than any QB in the league (44 times). Coming off a year where he got hurt on a sack and upgrading the OL should have been priority #1. Well, it STILL is.

I mean it still holds true...John Johnson looked pretty damn good today....there's no reason he should've had a 300 yard game.
Backup QBs are money

Johnson did not look good today because we were the opponent. He looked good because he played a whale of a game. Give the man credit.

Shaky D at times.
Burrow was brilliant. Higgins as well.
