scar988 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Arthur Smith has a Falcons team that once he can figure out how to not get blown out will become a regular playoff contender again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh so was the touch pass for the cheap touchdown. So close…still trying to perfect the process and energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree you can only play against the guys who line up across from you, but my god the guy is a #1 overall pick with Tee Higgins and JaMarr Chase facing guys signed off the street 2-3 days ago! It wasn't legendary, it was completely expected given the circumstances. Huntley > Josh Johnson > Lamar, obviously. I mean, Mark Andrews' production with those guys vs. Lamar doesn't lie! Burrow is certainly better than Goff. However, in 2019 the Browns had to play street FAs at CB that were recently signed, while we rolled into town with a fully healthy trio of Cooks/Woods/Kupp. Not the exact same situation - Bengals QB is better, Ravens are more decimated. But then, McVay is a better coach than Taylor and Harbs better than....Kitchens I think? The result was a 268 yard 2 TD 2 INT. So while the Bengals should have won and Burrow should have had a good game, what he did was still impressive from that perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense as bad as it is has saved the day many times this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't legendary, it was completely expected given the circumstances. Totally get it. Our fans were sick of hearing about the Ravens rolling to 400 yards on the ground with about 2/3 of our roster on IR last year. Not much our defense could do about it either.

I've also seen people be like "well this is payback for that game!" while conveniently forgetting that the Ravens passed the ball 4 times in the 2nd half and took Lamar out of the game for the 4th quarter and we still just obliterated your team on the ground. No matter, I kinda like the idea of a Bengals/Ravens rivalry surfacing in the AFC North. It's good for the division and Burrow vs. Lamar makes for a good story for the next decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't trying to defend it. Truth is, the short passing game was how the Bengals were running clock. They were successful with that, but not much room on the ground. I'm all for the rivalry too. One, they isn't bad blood like with Pitt. Neither team is taking the opposition out. Two, I never hated the Ravens like the Browns or Steelers. Plus, the teams are built so differently, it sets up for the immovable object/unstoppable force angle. Like the last decade of Carson, Chad, TJ and Rudi up against the ravens defense. Last, the series is quite even. Pitt doesn't look at us like a rival because we traditionally don't win enough. It only gets testy when the Bengals are good for a few years.

It was 34-21 at the start of the 4th, IMO the Bengals were in a close-enough game where they shouldn't need to apologise for passing. For being a league full of tough alpha-male manly men, the players/GMs/coaches sure whine a lot about their hurt feelings.

I just think they made the right coaching choice. Smith has brought this team wins that would have EASILY been losses last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
