***Preseason GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Falcons***

Why didnt he run?

It’s not just our d that can sniff out our screen.

We've somehow managed to mention both Andy and Palmer in this thread.

Might as well have the hat trick:

We tried at least 2, both times the QB had to throw the ball in the ground.  I think we got a penalty on one, lineman down field.

The need for a true QB is now in flashing red light territory. Neither of these clowns is a legit NFL grade backup.

I could see Atlanta bouncing back this year and making a playoff push. Won't go deep in my opinion. But they are a good young team.

Just how Tee and Chase changed our offense, i think Allgier and Robinson could change this offense to such a running team that as long as Ridder can just not be pure ass they’ll be in every game

He looks like a rotten potato with eyes.

Good tackle by Davis

We look more like this guy any time Burrow hain't on the field.

Have no idea why I’m happy

Not like we’re gonna score

[Joelist]

Can we actually....GASP....finally score an offensive TD here?

[Housh]

Let’s go Browning!!

Maybe just call QB draws....?

Sorry, just seeing this reply. They haven't opened many holes in the run game. They've given up some pressure and sacks. We've had some stretches of stringing some passes together but not much consistency up front. The thing that stands out the most is the lack of push in the run game.

If we kicked a FG on just one of the failed 4th down conversions we'd be driving for the game-winning FG right now.

Sorry, I took this seriously for a moment there.

Could be. Seems to work better than when he throws...

I can see why. I've seen that movie. They were just throwing shit at the wall to get another movie out.

If we ever need them to play real minutes in a game we better hope we can, by some miracle, have a decent running game because these guys aren’t throwing anything much over 5 yards.

We've only given up one sack - it was that play Browning had clean space to operate in but ran right into the pressure.
