Ugly win...but, oh well...moving on to the Bucs...

[CalgaryBengalsFan]

In the playoffs you will have to win the ugly games... Good thing we showed today that we can win any everyway! Who dey!

Isn't the illegal man downfield out the window after the ball is handed off?

How do you think poor Jonah feels twice a year?

How do you think every left tackle in the NFL feels having to face Garrett?

Seeing as he actually held his own this time not that bad. For the OL to run block for 5.1 a clip and surrender only one sack when the Stains have both Clowney and Garrett and because all our receivers are out had 8+ in the box almost all the time was actually cool.

Chase getting sacked wasn't exactly a HOF highlight reel..

Yes Myles Garrett is very very good but there is no one worse against him than Jonah Williams.

No such thing as an ugly win..Sloppy? A win despite everything?  Sure, but every win is a thing of beauty..

[Anarumo_Savant]

Just keep on winning

[*Go Cards*]

Am extremely happy to take that ugly win. In fact doing it without Higgins, Boyd, and Hurst, would have to call it a thing of beauty.

Said earlier in the year when a reverse to Chase was blown up that its just not going to work very often. Not necessarily the reverse play, but Chase gets so much attention the defense is never going to lose track of him that quickly. Need Chase going out and taking defenders with him and reversing to someone else imho.

Chase definitely put in some solid work receiving the ball with the Browns knowing he was all the Bengals had.

Bucs just lost Vita Vae to a calf injury...this could have implications for next week

There are no ugly wins after October - just wins!

I saw rapid improvement in Watson as the game unfolded despite him having to play one dimensional..
Baltimore may be down to QB3 next week.. I hate to bring it up, but we're going to have to play against him twice a year now. Perhaps since the Clowns mortgaged  their future for Watson they'll have to cut salaries big time to pay the turd till he's my age..

The play went into the books as a pass attempt. At least that's how it's listed currently on ESPN.

Yes defense played great so because  offense did not means ugly win, does make sense. Understand  now?

Thoughts...?

As of 7:00 in the second quarter the Buccaneers are getting absolutely flattened 21-0 by San Francisco.

Seeing as the cap hit on Watson goes from 9 million this year to 55 million next year they are going to be in a spot, not to mention the picks they gave up...the Texans got a 2022 first-round pick (No. 13 overall), 2023 and 2024 first-round picks, a 2022 fourth-round choice (No. 107), a third-round pick in 2023 and a fourth-round pick in 2024.

The Bengals played a good game today for being without some key players.This team is very good at adjusting to whatever adversity they may be facing.This was just a great win.Maybe not their greatest performance,but they won.Now,on to TB.Hoping Tee Higgins and Boyd will be ready to go.

I’m currently watching the TB vs. SF game and SF is pounding them pretty good at 21-0 with 5 minutes to go in the second quarter.
