Define a complete game. Yesterday the defense completely shut down the Steelers. The offense dominated and held the ball for 42 minutes, dominating a Steelers defense prone to the run. The only thing that wasn’t complete was the one missed extra point. Or does a complete game mean you have to throw a ball X number of times even if you are killing the other team running the ball. Let’s switch it around and say you have the same kind of defensive performance, but the offense throws all day because the opposing defense has a weak back 7. Would that be a complete victory, or would we have had to run more. You play to win the game. This time of year do what you have to, run, pass, both. Doesn’t matter to me.

Well, I mean it more as they are more threatening than the Steelers or Ravens as a division winner. The main reason why is that they can score points. It's much easier to play a team like Pittsburgh whose cap is 14-17 points. If you score a couple TDs it's basically over.

I will be excited if the Bills can force a single punt.

That sounds like a Mike Brown, (Bengals owner) ploy.

This thread will age well.

I honestly had no idea how nationally big the Chautauqua movement was until I went to a concert at Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder, Colorado. It's not only one of the oldest music venues in the state (1898), but it sits on an entire campus of historic buildings set in a beautiful park atmosphere at the foot of the Boulder Flatirons (red rock formations). Sprinkled throughout this picturesque (and public) area are interpretive signs that tell the history of the movement and of course it's roots in Western NY.

That should help on both sides. As for Cincy's defense, the last I looked they are ranked #32 in total defense, #31 in pass defense, and #31 in run defense (over 150 yards per game). They are also ranked #32 in scoring defense, #28 in red zone defense, and #31 in 3rd down defense. No excuses on Sunday! Right now looking like cloudy, 26 degrees, 22% of snow, light winds.

I find it amusing that Hendrickson wanted to be moved, they refused, gave him a pay raise to make him happy for this remaining season and then he’s been hurt all year essentially stealing Mike Browns money before he hits free agency and leaves the Bengals

My point isn't consolidated down to just records. My point is previously we showed more consistency and potential. Our average points per game are the lowest since 2019.

One way to motivate Josh to work harder at throwing to running backs is to provide him with a bottom of the league WR core. Beane knows this.

You have no idea. 🫢

Beat dey ass. All day. Tired of Burrow and Bengals controlling the game when we face them. We better come out swinging.

I told myself that if drink this extra glass of Pinot noir our offensive line would have more strength and courage to keep Josh safe!

Nope, it's just a bad team. They have a superior HC still, though, obviously.

Don’t think anyone was a Cook disbeliever or hater at all. Many just didn’t want to pay him in the $20m p/y range that CMC and Saquon got. In hindsight, he’d be well worth that for what he’s producing.

Yesterday he missed a guy by several feet, and I believe that has happened a few other times this season, as well.

someone could title it that or OC to justify dollars but in essence, he’s a very good line coach and only ok above. I think he knows where his sweet spot is for success instead of bouncing all over.

see? stupid.

good post. Not that much different indeed. The Pats turning the corner so quickly and sitting atop of, not only the Division but the AFC is why it’s a cause for erratic concern is my feelings.

I'm going to disagree with this. Allen has clearly worked on it and I think he's gotten very good it hitting those swings accurately and on time. He's holding 'backers with his eyes and waiting til the last second to commit and then hitting backs in stride with a perfect combination of velocity ( so the D can't recover) and touch (so Cook or Johnson have an easy catch) and accuracy (so they have the opportunity to get upfield fast and make hay). I don't know if there's anybody in the league throwing better to the flats than he is right now.

The o line has been the teams best position group these past three years …even with some shaky play at times this season … I expect both Edwards and McGovern to be paid more elsewhere this off-season …so going to be interesting to see how Beane handles that transition .. They have kept SVPG on the 53 these past 2 years even though he only plays C … keeping depth guys with no position flexibility is something they rarely do … so likely means that he is showing enough at practice that they think he will take over as the starter next season

Hendrickson out, that's big

I'm just surprised that out of all the personal attacks today, no one capitalized on me saying "there will probably be a little bit of #2 in the back of my mind" and called me "***** for brains"

Shall we stoop to their levels? We’re not a drug cartel, we’re the United States.
