6-6-1 isn’t an impossible scenario for this team.
Really impressed by Burrow's accuracy. It's like his passes catch the receivers. He just lays it right into their hands. On the run or in the pocket, doesn't matter. And I love the way Tee Higgins goes and gets passes with his hands, he's gonna put up some stupid numbers with Burrow.
And of course the O-Line, I have no idea how they managed that today but wow.
All I am going to say is that I was very impressed with the overall play of the Bengals, and against a good, playoff team that Pitt had to hold off last week. They seemed very well prepared, and the play of the makeshift O-line was good. I like their receiving corp - Boyd, Higgins, Tate who, IMO, open things up for AJ. Ross who? LOL
I guess the only "knock" would be on the defensive side, allowing 400+ total yards. But I look at the Bengals games played, and beside the Ravens, who has blown this team out? They've been in every game and had chances to win. Just didn't happen. But yesterday alone should be a sign of progress and what this team, under Taylor, is capable of. 30+ points put up in 5 of the 8 games.
AJ Green has been one of my faves since he was drafted but I would say the time to move him is now...GB has kicked the tires and if the price is right I say that you deal him. That leaves you with Higgens, Boyd, and Tate as your top 3 wide outs.
Gotta eat a little crow here. Mr. Burrows is looking like he is going to at least be a pretty good QB. I wasn't a fan of him coming out of LSU, but he is starting to win me over!
Not sure I trust these grades from PFF
Adeniji - 49.8
Spain - 56.8
Price - 18.9
Redmond - 59.4
Johnson - 56
Bengals did get high marks on their run blocking 80.2
I don't know Xs and Os well enough to know how you evaluate offensive line play, but I have to think a big priority the rest of the season is figuring out exactly what you need to get on the OL this offseason. I imagine they feel pretty good with Williams and Hopkins, so the Bengals need to figure out if they feel comfortable with any in-house guys for the guard spots and RT.Quote:

Spain and XSF are decent enough options at guard. Hart has improved a lot this year. If it sticks, there's the makings of an acceptable line. Not that you wouldn't want to do better, but I think that's all Burrow needs to shine.Quote:

Time to start printing Fields and Lawrence Jets jerseys. The 0-8 Jets seem to be a lock for a top 2 pick
Denver, Bengals, Falcons and Vikings win
Dolphins a big winner with the #4 Texans pick looking better each week
Some big Tankathon games this weekend which will shake up the order
NYG at Washington Football Team
Lions at Vikings
Texans at Jaguars
Broncos at Falcons
Patriots at NY Jets
That implies a ton of missed assignments all day long for the Line. I don't think anyone's eyetest saw it that way.Quote:
