Yeah a close win to a 3-1 team should be a good thing, but watching the offense the second half has me shaking my head.

We just won in spite of Burrow. He was a liability the whole second half.

100%. Great turnout from the defense, so I guess there's that to feel happy about against a competent offense. That offense though. Another complete pathetic 2nd half by Burrow and the offensive playcallers. Make that 3 out of 6 games now

I've seen too much of Geno to be comfortable with having him as a franchise QB. As for our team, there's a boatload that needs to be worked on to be a serious playoff contender.

A win is a win but this was not a satisfying win. Lots of work to do on both sides of the ball. D is still too porous but thankfully they made the stops when it was needed

Seahawks didn't pick up a single blitz all game. Pocket collapsed everytime. It's like the Bengals debuted a new concept of rushing more than 4 at once and the Seahawks justed folded.

Defensive team. That is it. No more of the offensive genius team. There is no evidence to support it. Team wins in spite of the offense. Should have been over when we needed a 1st down.

Hopefully the offense does the right thing and gives the defense their game checks for this week.

I wonder if something happened on either that big sack where he got hit in his back or that scramble did something to him.

Ugly win. We now have a week to prepare our anuses for San Fran.
This offense needs to be 10x better to even have a shot.
