This is a game we can win but we'll probably find a way to lose. The feeling is mutual, I think our teams are a lot alike, just very inconsistent.

This feels like a massive must win for both teams Hmmm..... (looks at calendar, sees it is November), not feeling great about it. In all seriousness, no idea what we are going to get with this team. They looked great rallying around each other post Gruden. Then the Ruggs/Arnette junk happened and they've seemingly lost themselves. They don't appear to be having any fun on the field now. Kind of going through the motions. I guess we shall see if Bisaccia can lead them after 2 down weeks. Only thing I'm confident in is Yannik and Crosby getting after the Bengals protection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams had good starts to the season and have lost 2 straight. Feels like whoever lose this one is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean he's seen 60 routes of man coverage out of 200+ routes? Is he considered open even if it has nothing to do with the play? For example. Pass rush forces Carr to roll the opposite side Waller is on and throw the ball the other direction, but Waller was "open" on the other side of the field. Too many unknowns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because knowing that he's going to beat man coverage every time he's gonna make you double cover them or bracket him lol. Thats been the problem since week 2.

We came out swinging as soon as Gruden was ousted. We felt like a team. Then came Ruggs and Arnette in quick succession, and we've played arguably our worst two games of the season. There hasn't seemed to be a break in getting poo shoveled at us. It's weird to me. Looking around the AFC, we're very much still in the absolute thick of things. Losses always suck, but it's far from over and plenty of good teams got their ish kicked in last week it seems. But we've absolutely got to rally, and fast, or we're going to snowball. I don't want to hit the panic button yet because it's just been that kind of few weeks, but man it's not easy getting excited right now as a fan. No telling how the pulse in the lockeroom is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_palooka Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 FWIW the Bengals have had the 2nd easiest strength of schedule thus far this season. They had that eye popping win against the Ravens, then flopped against the Jets before being blown out by the Browns. The Raiders are the better team if the team shows up to play it won't be close. If they don't shake of the bs of the past month and come out flat, the Bengals will pounce on them (pun intended). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
