Why is it necessarily a competition between the throw and the catch? Both can be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notthatbluestuff Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Quote Bengals QB Joe Burrow says he audibled for a screen to CJ Uzomah to set up the game-winner: “You guys have heard me talking about knowing the playbook in the back of my head... I know their defensive coordinator (Joe Cullen) has a Baltimore background." Burrow is smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said the catch wasn’t fire. I compared it to one of the best catches in super bowl history. I just said that the throw was freaking nasty! Pin point accuracy.

That’s nuts. No freaking fear. Rooting for the bengals. Y’all are due! Chad Johnson and TJ were amazing to watch! Here’s to 10+ years of the young bengals coming in hot. They got next.

The Bengals won't get anything while Mahomes, Lamar, and Justin Herbert are in their conference. We're looking at another Peyton/Brady situation with immovable QBs standing in the way of the other contenders for years and years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He inherited a far worse situation than all those guys and is trying to turn that into a winning franchise. He won't completely put it together until next year due to the ACL tear and the Bengals need more pieces but watch out in 2022. Burrow is special. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has good skill position players. I do think he will be good if his OL holds up. Should have drafted Sewell… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he easily can be as good, or better, than Lamar and Herbert. Mahomes is another beast altogether. But, ya, Burrow is special. Enough athleticism and arm strength to get full use of his elite processing and understanding of the game.

I kind of think this is undersold when announcers/analyst are talking about Burrow. Just watch his head motion when they are showing a replay of a passing play. In 2-2.5 seconds he's on to read 4 or 5, it's unreal. There was one completion to Chase where he went through every read and then came back to Chase after Chase was covered on the initial route, and it was only like 3-4 seconds into the play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) I fully expect the Bengals to be 6-3 coming out of the bye Edited October 1, 2021 by Johnny Nix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he will be good if his OL holds up. Should have drafted Sewell… OL / DL - trench first. Even more - better coaching. Zac Taylor has been underwhelming. His 1H plan was atrocious. 1st down dives that led to 2nd and long (stretch plays were the way to go with runs). Then Taylor deciding to run dives with Perine in the last drive when Mixon left was literally the only way the final drive could stall. Yet that’s what Taylor called time and again. And this was a theme last year as well. Burrow was great. The D has been great. Their skill players on O are terrific. But make no mistake Taylor is holding them back. They are winning despite him. To become a true contender they’d be better off with the next guy upgrading Zac Taylor. Edited October 1, 2021 by Broncofan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 5 hours ago, BigTrav said: Was anyone else annoyed with that playcall at the 1 to run T-Law again, when he was stuffed? Give it to the RB for goodness sake! Hindsight, yes, but it's a RB's job from that range. They are built for it. I think it was an option play. Trevor decided to keep it rather than toss it out to Robinson. In hindsight, he probably would have been better off giving it to Robinson, like you said, or at least taking it out a little further to the edge. As it was, he ended up running into the strong point of their D-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to answer your question, he needs more consistent OL play and better coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
