***Pre-Season GameDay Thread - Colts @ Bengals***

16 yards of offense, team is rolling. They going to have to pick it up to make last weeks 226 yards .

I’m baffled about how American coaches teach people how to kick a ball, that’s a shocking punt again.

May as well have gone for it there anyway.

This game is to fill out the bottom of the roster.

That’s 6 losses already.

They won 9 last season with no Burrow and the toughest schedule in the NFL. With this schedule and the additions they made I see at least 2 more wins.

It doesn’t and I’m almost certain we will start slow again this year. I just hope we can pull ourselves out of an early hole yet again.

On whose team, hopefully not ours. Most of this players suck.

Basically. And with our scrubs playing the Colts starters the outcome so far is pretty surprising.

Hopefully Tim is just trolling us.  

[Destro]

Should have fallen on that

[BengalsLUFC]

AR is gonna end up either being benched or on IR again he is nowhere near ready to start.

Yes, but the other teams seem to be playing more 2 deeps. You can count the number of plays the Bengals starters have played on both hands.
For the entire preseason

And this is why I avoid GDT’s during the season.

I want to see improvement on defense. We couldn’t stop anyone when the game was on the line, either rushing or passing. 
. Too many receivers wide open over the middle. If we don’t fix that’s we won’t be any better.

I'd hate to see your reaction if our starters were getting outplayed by Indy's ash and trash

That was the whole point of bringing back Von and in Stone. I think we will see marked improvement in communication, thus better pass defense. Not sure about run though.

That’s what worries me. We start out poorly and fall 2 games behind, and have to play catch-up the rest of the season.

[jj22]

That was a nice run

We aren't the only team that does this.

[Nicomo Cosca]

Man I really like Matt Lee.

[jj22]

Lee’s had another good game. 

All is showing why they didn’t hold him back by putting  him on pup
