Something to build off of for the weeks going forward. Allowing only seven points wins games 999 out of 1000. Let the other tems get all the yards and 1st downs they want, as long as no points occur, that's a good thing.

Now the Giants suck lol

Last I heard they scored a lot of points in Seattle on the Seahawks and were going to score 40 plus on us, go figure.

You said they have a "good offense"...they are 29th in scoring, 20th in yards per game and we played without their best offensive player. They are not a good offense.

Is this after we held them to 7? 

Thought the Giants put up nearly 30 in Seattle, that isn't easy.

They scored 18 and 15 points against the poor Cowboys and Commanders defenses. 

If you take our game out of it, they average 17.8 ppg, or good for 27th in ppg. They are not a good offense. In fact, they are a bad offense playing without their best offensive weapon. 

The defense was opportunistic yesterday which was good to see. However, as we've seen, relying on being opportunistic isn't a sustainable way to play solid defense (unless you're the Steelers somehow lol)

Thanks. Didn't know all that and them not having Nabors clearly hurt them. We will see how we do against the Stains who might 
have Chubb back who always runs all over us.

Seattle is currently ranked 26th in points allowed, 1 spot above the Bengals.  They are 22nd in yards allowed.  The only game where they gave up less than 20 points was against the Dolphins in week 3 without Tua.  They are not exactly a defensive power house right now.  But they have played some other good offenses against the 49ers and Lions.

It's true that the Giants are not a "good" team, the Bengals won a game that they should have. Had the Bengals been able to stay out of their own way (fumbles, dropped passes, not being ready for the snap, trying to bounce for yardage when a dive for 1st down was all that was needed), then this likely would have been a lopsided game. 

The Giants do however have one of the best D lines in the NFL, and overcoming a desperate team with a strong DL is a positive step for the Bengals. Should be good training for upcoming games versus Cleveland, Pittsburgh and any other teams known to be "bringing it" on the defensive front.

Thanks George. Honestly thought the Squawks would be better than this this season. They have a lot of good players on that D and McDonald
is a fantastic Defensive mind.

All true, hopefully this was the test this Offensive line needed to prepare them for our entire Division. Thought they played decent 
against a very good Ravens DL as well even if there were some breakdowns. Happens against the best and the Giants are one of 
the best defensive fronts as well as you say.

Okay. Cool, there were lots of so called Bengals fans saying we were going to give up 38 plus to the Giants which I found crazy.
