2020 Bengals Thread Part 2: New Era or More of the Same?

[Bob Sheed]

Great win.

Interesting that this version of the oline has already outperformed the others. But yeah, great win.

I would not have complained about a run. It would have been the “by the book” call just like Jeremy Hill running it in 2015. Most coaches would have ran it

But this team was 1-5-1 and has lost a lot of close games. We lost when a short field goal was missed against the Chargers, tied against the Eagles with a play-it safe offense late and lost last week when the defense could not play well for 1 minute.

This team needed to win and I think being aggressive instead of predictable was a fine call. Yes, they got lucky with the call, but I’ll accept that for once

I see your point but think throwing it there was an acceptable choice

On that drive? No. You’re deep in your territory. Any turnover is disastrous. Punt it deep and force them to use clock. They need two scores, not 1. Be aggressive if it’s a 1 score game or more towardiddle of the field.

Pretty amazing game in when you replace 4 of the 5 OL and still come out with a great win against a good team

The Titans have one of the worst pass rushes in the NFL, but still a great job by the OL. That unit has gotten better throughout the year, like it did last year. Hopefully they can keep it up.

I love Mixon but based on the last few weeks you start to wonder does Zac’s offense work better with Gio in the backfield.

Definitely seeing flashes of what will come over the next 5-15 years.

Add Jonah Taylor to this group and they start to put something together. Bobby Hart as a run-blocker has been good. Hopkins can contribute, too.

That they will be able to really put a good group on the field for once after the bye is encouraging. Find the new five guys and let them get some continuity.

It was a bad throw by Burrow but the call didn't help. I knew it was coming and so did the LB. The jump ball to Tate where there was little chance of a pick was the better call.

I would never had paid Mixon and I like Gio. But the last two weeks they've played bad defensive lines except Cleveland has Garrett. It will be a whole different story in two weeks with the Steelers.

Green still isn't putting in 100% effort out there. Maybe this win will get him to join the team.

Super win!

Nothing,...absolutely nothing, helps the team more than wins. Confidence is everything. Winning breeds confidence. Losing breeds doubt.

Billy Price with a game ball today...


Jessie Bates: "I don’t think a lot of people expected us to win today. This locker room knows that. And we don’t really care."

Burrow passes the ball around and when Green isn't involved he seems to go through the motions...most #1's are like this.

He's not only not a #1, but he's not even close to a #2.

The offense has also been cranking with Mixon.

[KoryMac5]

Well I am not 18 anymore but I still think like it from time to time...
