Breece Hall had a good day against them.

They hired the guy who called single coverage vs Jeremiah Smith with the national championship on the line as their DC. 

You had to bring that up?

The Steelers were not concerned with the Bengals, why should we be? 

 

The Steelers didn't have much, if any, film on Flacco on the Bengals.  As teams figure out what the Bengals are doing on offense, Flacco's success is going to diminish.  In his previous stints as a backup, Flacco has tended to look good early on and then his play drops off.

 

More importantly, as somebody upthread posted, quarterback is not the Bengals' problem.

you seem to contracdict yourself.

Happy for Fields, even if he's a Jet. Guy has taken a lot of abuse.

My points were independent of each other.   

 

Flacco's success fades as teams figure him out.  At this point in his career, he doesn't seem as capable of overcoming that as he did when he was younger.

 

Regardless of how Flacco plays, the Bengals problem remains their defense.  It would have been their problem even with a healthy Burrow ... as today's game against the Jests showed.   While Flacco threw an INT on the last play of the game, they had the Jests down 15 points in the fourth quarter and let them score 2 TDs, a 2 point conversion, and a PAT.

The team or the cat?

I would be, if Burrow were still back there and their O-Line wasn't looking even worse than their usual bad. In their current state? No. There was a time where they terrified me. But it's been a couple years.

 

Nowadays I'm more concerned with the Patriots and Colts of the world. And of course, January Chiefs. A different animal than Sept-Dec Chiefs.

The only thing scaring me right now is that my wife spent all day making some god-awful soup and she expects me to eat it for dinner.

 

This dinner thing is a true legit concern.......i don't care about the Bengals right now, i care about my guts.

Especially after his no class owner threw him under the bus last week. 

[letsgoteam]

No we are afraid of the Patriots

[Boatdrinks]

Sure. I am afraid of any team that can pass the football well. The Bills can’t stop it consistently, and they don’t have a serious passing game of their own.

Or with Burrow. QB is not their issue.

 

Hence, *at the very least.

After cleaning all day, she's gonna make you eat some "god-awful soup" for dinner?

I don't think he scares his teammates with that 'frosted' hairdo. 😇

Isn't a QB supposed to be, a 'leader of men'?

Man the stove, yourself. I've been cooking, for over 60 years. It ain't rocket surgery. Practice, makes perfect. (Well, sometimes)

To be fair the only thing that was closing in the second half was the point spread lol

 

That game was over when it was 31-7 lol Notre Dame could not stop Ohio State when Ohio State wanted to score

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

I feel sick for Joe Flacco. He balled out like it was the 2012 playoffs. That defense is historically bad. 

[Kirby Jackson]

Same situation as before. We aren’t “afraid” of anybody. When asked, “who would you rather play in a must win Bengals/Ravens or Steelers/Broncos/Chargers/Jags/Patriots/Colts, the answer is still that we want to avoid Burrow and Lamar.” When you have a 1 game, “must win” you ALWAYS select the teams that’s less dangerous.
