Trying hard not to look as gay

Chiefs defense in 2018 was terrible. They still won 12 of 16 games in the regular season. Hard to do, but not impossible. The Bengals have a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way, so they still have a decent chance to make the Playoffs IMHO.

Doubt he has to buy any drinks at the Manhole.

Punters that lose games (like Reeko or whatever that scrubs name is) get cut

Supposedly the Chiefs cut him partly because they saw the holds could become an issue. What an organization

what's good in life?

to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, to hear the lamentations of the Bengals

Our QB does make mistakes, just rarely when it matters which is why his TD to INT ratio in the playoffs is so good.

One of the best things about YouTube is the channels of NFL fans.

I've watched 4 or 5 Bengals channels and they're glorious in their meltdowns.

its funny chiefs fans ITT are more optimistic about the Bengals than the Bagnels fans

like I get it that they're better than the other 1-4 teams, they're better than their record but they've lost to every Good team they played. They're in the Mediocre tier. They'll beat up on the Dregs tier but are going to lose to most of the Good tier teams they play. They've got 9-8, 8-9 written all over them

I find it funny that the defense bailed Burrow out all those years in the playoffs and now it's not able to.

Seems ironic.

The Bengals are so bad now that their badness is pissing me off because it's helping the Ravens.

They’re only one game behind the five 2–3 teams, and one of them will make the playoffs in the seventh spot. One game behind is easy to make up. And that is assuming that at 3–2 the Broncos and Steelers are real. I think the Bengals are clearly better than both of them despite their problems at defense.

I think Pittsburgh will stay in the hunt, Denver will drop out, it will come down to a battle between the Jets, chargers, and Bengals and the bangles will be one of the teams that makes the playoffs in the end. The Jets should be the other.

Dax Hill out for the season now too

lol I didn’t know that their only win was vs. the hapless Panthers.

Giants can beat this Bengals team at home in primetime.

There just aren't any gimmes, they even struggle with Cleveland historically. Probably missing the playoffs.

My mistake. I was told ur mom's name was Orlando.

Punt Dog!!

At least he doesn't have to try hard at all to look like the best QB in the NFL right now.

His TD to INT ratio in the playoffs in the 4th quarter on 3rd down with an ambient temperature of 61 degrees and NW winds at 3mph?

Joe now is kind of like Matt Stafford with the Lions a few years back. Always looked like a pretty decent QB and put up the numbers but his team couldn't do shit.

Bengals are trending that way . . . . .

Yeah, they're gonna need a defense that plays better than a college D2 team, if they have any hope at all of getting back in the race. Even with an "easy" schedule.

But he is trying hard to look like my lesbian aunty who pulls hotter chicks than I could ever hope to and flaunts them at family gatherings like a collection of penis averse barbie dolls.

What you NEED is 2018 Pat Mahomes.

Now there's a QB who could carry a team with an all time bad defense.

Joe should take notes . . . . .

Yeah, it's really "ironic" that a defense can't "bail out" an offense 5th in pts scored and averaging 35 over the last 3 games.

Ironic indeed. :spock:

Sure. Calculate it however you see fit but I will take the 41 TDs 8 INTs. Granted it’s nothing compared to Burrow’s elite 9 TDs to 4 INTs, but it will have to suffice. I would love to compare just 4th quarter TDs, but sadly Burrow has none.

The Bengals have been losing in what looks like painful fashion for fans, and yesterday I think they unlocked a whole new level. By the way, I've always felt like being the "holder" for place kicks looks like the most stressful and terrifying job on the field. It seems kinda crazy to me that meltdowns like what happened yesterday aren't more frequent.

Your all time bad defense was 24th in pts and 31st in yds.
This Bengals defense is 31st in pts and 26th in yds.

Cleveland is an interesting one. They have given the Bengals a hard time the last few years. But Deshaun Watson is arguably the worst starting QB in the league right now, and the Cleveland defense is nowhere near as good as it was the last couple years. Cincy should easily beat them in both of those games. But you never know, lol

Just following Chiefsfan's lead.

That's nothing new, really.

Game 1: No offense.
Game 2: Defensive penalty on 4th and 16.
Game 3: No defense.
Game 5: Fumbled hold on FG.

It's always something new and exciting with this team.

Interesting thread on the Bengal forum:

https://thebengalsboard.com/thread-39218.html

1-4...wow

Points still stands.

And KC was 27th in Defensive DVOA that year. Cincy is 23rd in Defensive DVOA this year.

Lot to unpack here. Well done. LMAO

It's not like their dcoordinator forgot how to game plan, he's got shit for talent.

Cincy needs to draft better talent.

How did we let this shit defense shut us down...jeez

Heh...when you hear how excited Romo gets in the booth, that botched hold of his in the playoffs makes more sense.

Burrow has two choices:

1. Retire now. Rich with no rings.

2. Retire later. Rich but broken with no rings.

Make the right choice, Joe.

For some reason the offensive staff thought letting Suamataia handle Hendrickson would work out.

Sweet. A thread by someone who belongs in a 'traitors, losers and cowards' thread. I went as JewishRabbi as i could without risking an infraction.

Lou has voodoo devil magic that he uses against Mahomes and Reid.

I truly hope their defense continues to suck and they fire him.

It will negate the one main advantage they have over us.

Bad turnovers and not being able to convert their first drive into a touchdown.

If they convert their first drive and eight chances within the 12 yard line to a touchdown, that's 30 points... and if you add some points instead of 2 picks and a fumble (one of the picks was pretty nice though), that could be 33 or 36 or 37+.

And that's not crazy what-iffing into "well, if only they played a perfect game"... it's pretty reasonable to assume if they got another eight chances for a touchdown in that situation, they'd convert; and pretty safe to assume they'd clean up at least one of 3 turnovers and turn it into points.

So, saying they were shut down is a fair stretch when they weren't even that far from scoring 30 on them, even despite Mahomes not having a good day.

God damn, Pat. LMAO

Gotta get something positive I guess.

So Joe is playing his best ball ever and they’re still 1-4?

LMAO

Why the Bengals’ dire situation has glimmer of hope as defense seeks answers

"…. A day later, the feeling hadn’t subsided from the coaching staff and players off to the worst start since 2019 and a defense that’s allowed more points per drive through five games than any Bengalsteam this decade.

They’ve allowed at least 108 yards rushing to every opponent, an average of 151 per game and a defensive rushing success percentage of 47.1, 5 percentage points worse than anyone else in football. And when they sold out to stop it Sunday, Lamar Jackson lit them up for 348 yards and four touchdowns through the air. This just two weeks after Jayden Daniels and the Commandersscored on every possession excluding kneeldowns, with him completing a rookie-record 91 percent of his passes.

Somehow, an offense that scored 33, 34 and 38 points over the last three weeks won only once.

Now the Bengals just lost their most consistent starting cornerback, Dax Hill, for the season with a torn ACL.

Only 9 percent of teams to start 1-4 over the last decade made the playoffs.

No, it’s not all that dumb to write them off. Recalibrating their situation after Sunday’s loss, the prospects are undeniably dire.

That doesn’t mean they are done.

There are too many factors keeping hope alive — none pumping more blood than Joe Burrow and the offense.

Teams playing at their level right now don’t keep losing, no matter how bad the defense. They just don’t. In fact, they’ve never lost at this level in the first place.

At 2.93 points per drive, the Bengals rank second in the NFL behind only the Commanders. That ranks 19th best by any team this century through the first five games of a season.

Of the 80 best offensive starts in that span, not a single other team won only one game. Only the Bengals.

Here are the five teams that won two games or fewer while posting at least 2.5 points per drive this century.

Just five teams won only twice. Notable among the group at 2-3 despite a dominant offense were the 2021 Chiefs, whom the Bengals beat in the AFC Championship Game. Their young defense came together just enough over the second half of the season for Patrick Mahomes to pull them back to the title game. Even they managed two wins to build on.

What the Bengals just pulled off over the first five weeks of the season is essentially unprecedented in modern football.

Breaking a decades-long precedent has to contain fluky finishes. A fourth-and-16 conversion by Mahomes via a penalty in Kansas City. A bad field goal hold by Ryan Rehkow against Baltimore. Two walk-off field goal losses. Four one-possession defeats by 15 total points.

They haven’t closed out games despite countless opportunities. That’s a potentially fatal flaw, maybe even more concerning than the defense. When scoring 30-plus points every week, that really shouldn’t matter. Right now, it has them buried."

Cursed indeed. Die mike brown DIE!!!

1-4

A final score is a stat, dumbass.

You're not leading in that stat.

We are.

Bengals will probably win their next 4 games. Then Balt and LAC will be possible loses. That would be 6 with Dallas looming and loss 7. Pitt defense may get Joe in one of the games.

Not really. Look at Mahomes' college record. If you have a shitty defense you simply aren't going to win.

Quesadilla rfaulk34

They are in football for sure. Football is not a game of numbers.

Burrow's stats look nice same way Kirk Cousins' stats and Dakota Prescott's stats look nice. Padding to the fullest. What do all three players have in common? They can't carry a team on their back. You know, win. Close out games in the clutch and such. They need the ideal situation, all the pieces to fall in place. Oportunistic turnovers by the defense, which if my short term memory serves me well, the bungholes got on Sunday, in OT.
It's not by some strange coincidence that the bungholes dig themselves these deep holes early in the season.
Elite QBs don't put their teams in such holes... but queer looking Joey Burrr certainly does. And when that oportunistic defense is not there to save the day, you become 1–4 and eventually miss the playoffs.

1-4

I see your post about Mahomes college career and raise you Mahomes 2018 and 2020 NFL seasons.

(Def. DVOA 27th and 22nd, respectively)

rfaulk at least has stuck around to take his hits... I have a level of (dare I say) respect for him.

Quesadildo is a ****ing flake who disappears at the first sign of the cold dark reality that being a Donks fan is, and doesn't do anything that makes anyone reasonable respect him.

That being said... rfaulk still ****ed up being a Bengals fan, but baby steps...

Mahomes takes a defense worse than this Bengals team to a title if not for the offsides call that ONLY the Patriots would have gotten in that situation.

Burrow goes 1-4 and stat pads

Rfaulk seems to be a rational, good-natured shit talker. One of the best non-Chief fans I've seen here.

Another thing you don't understand the meaning of. This is my shocked face.

https://media.tenor.com/images/60a31...348b/tenor.gif

He's clearly not on Mahomes 'clutch' level.

You don't throw a pick in opponent's territory with 5 mins left, then go 3 and out with 1:30 and 3 timeouts and even try to be called clutch.

He's getting early Aaron Rodgers level of failures at the end of games.

You're talking about our boy, rfaulk !!!!

Though, you're not incorrect about any of it. Early Aaron Rodgers,,,,,,, oh man.

Trust me, it's rough being so smart and objective all at once.

1-4

Yes. All the DonkTards here could learn something.

Your team is 1-4 and you are on the champs board talking smack. Smart or obnoxious?

Too soon, hurricane season leaving paper bag making material

1-4

Shit defenses really allow you to pad stats

Lol Burrows best year is a shade below Mahomes 4th best year and yet some muppets in the national talking heads shows still think Burrow deserves to be mentioned in the same bracket as Pat.

It's because he's the best QB in the NFL right now.
