Someone give me the quick version of what happened to the bengals? Weren’t they supposed to be a contender this year? 
 

signed, 

 

44 year old with a 10 month old, who now only has time for the bills games 😬

Burrow is a checkdown artist, whose game has been found out. It’s a checkdown, or if he sees 1 on 1 on the outside he goes deep.

 

The Bengals offensive line is Bottom 1/3rd in the league, Zach Taylor is still calling the plays which irritates Bengals fans. 

 

On defense, allowing Jessie Bates to walk has reduced their ability to generate turnovers.

 

They let DJ Reader walk this off-season and Rankins/Hill have been injured half the time.

 

On the pass rush they have Hendrickson and little else. I heard the stat that Sam Hubbard was 242/245 of eligible pass rushers in win rate. 

They’ve invested a lot of draft picks into the defense in recent years with Ossai, DJ Turner, Cam Taylor-Britt, Myles Murphy, Jordan Battle - they’ve been ok, but none have emerged as impact players. 
 

They let Joe Mixon walk, “replaced” him with Zach Moss and we Bills fans know how that went. So now they are 1-running back team with Chase Brown.

 

The edges of their roster have been chipped away with season ending injuries - Dax Hill out for the year (ACL), Erick All (ACL) and they lost Trent Brown early. Also their LT has been out with knee/fibula for weeks now.

What a call!

Momentum is a crazy thing.

But Mike Schopp had told me for years that there is no such thing.

Yes on the back of two huge games against the Ravens.

 

Nothing I said there is wrong.

 

He just saw 1-1 coverage to Higgins and went deep. 
 

It’s not a shock.

Damn. Thanks for that thorough run down

How the hell did the Chargers let them back in this game lol.

I think McConkey hurt his shoulder early in the game and has been gutting it out since.

 

I think the Bengals are generating a pass rush now, and have done a nice job limiting the Chargers run game.

 

They haven’t been able to salt this game away.

 

Reception Perceptions data on McConkey is crazy how good he is.

He hasn't been 'found out'

 

He's just been consistently overrated

Us navy has confirmed more Ufo sightings in greater Los Angeles than sightings of chargers fans

Herbert missed that deep ball by inches. 
 

The Chargers wideouts have improved more than I thought they would in 2024. 
 

All of them are grading above NFL mean on PFF.

Was a fan of his game at Georgia but honestly, the lack of production at that powerhouse program left concern about translating to the NFL. 

 

Kid is legit.

It’s in their DNA. They are born to tear a loss from the jaws of victory: 

 

 

but today they face the pride of Kentucky. They too revel in defeat. Quite a battle.

Chargers are Chargering the game away
