The Steelers run game is slicing the Vikes defense with a journeyman back up RB…the same Vikes D that made the Bengals run game look embarrassing. Cincinnati Bengals OL & Chase Brown may shoulder some blame…but the lack of play action & always running out of the gun is a scheme issue!

Hot take: 4th starters shouldn’t have the privilege of a personal catcher. Those are reserved for aces.

Beginning to believe Joe Burrow is the best player in NFL history

Myles Murphy, Kris Jenkins, Joseph Ossai, and Cam Sample combined for 43 pass rushes and 0 wins in the first half vs. the Broncos, per PFF initial charting. The Bengals recent DL picks have been incapable pass rushers since entering the NFL. Kills their defenses every year.

Outscored 55-6 over the last 2 1st halves

Bengals picks between 10 and 60 since 2021: ➖Jackson Carman ➖Dax Hill ➖Cam Taylor-Britt ➖Myles Murphy ➖DJ Turner ➖Amarius Mims ➖Kris Jenkins Dax Hill is the only one performing at a starter level right now. Hard to be a team that relies on draft picks and win this way.

Steve Kerr’s advice to parents of young athletes ”Keep your mouth shut… How can you possibly play at 10 years old when you’ve got 12 people yelling at you? Just be supportive because they’re going to feel so much more comfortable if you do that.”

The whole season, people were saying the Reds would be a team that could do well in the playoffs because of Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo, and Andrew Abbott. HG struggled. Lodolo threw 14 pitches. Abbott isn’t going to throw a pitch. Wild.

Nick Lodolo not getting the start is one thing, but having him only throw 14 pitches in an elimination game is crazy.

This is not an NFL caliber offensive scheme. That’s why the Bengals and Titans have the worst offensive numbers in the league.

Coaching defined. “The only thing I have control of is, am I putting them in position every day in practice to learn how to win?” Geno Auriemma 🥇 🎥 What Drives Winning

I’d love to laugh, but the Reds spending 42.6% of their revenue on payroll is so sad.

Zac Taylor’s scheme/playcalling is unwatchable

Down 2 TDs and a draw play w/ 6min to go and only 2 timeouts…brilliant

In middle-school gym class, the “cool kids” never tried. They jogged instead of sprinting, laughed off losses, acted like they didn’t care. It wasn’t confidence. It was insecurity. Trying hard meant risking failure, and that’s what scared them. A lot of adults are still

true

An inexcusable loss. Arguably the worst of the Zac Taylor era.

If we are being fair and honest, somebody would have to be fired in just about every NFL city. #Bengals

Before Duke Tobin was hired in 1999, it was Mike Brown as the only player personnel/GM guy in charge starting in 1991. Before Mike, it was Paul Brown from 1968-1990. Any idea of changes in Duke's role is more or less unprecedented, so it's especially hard to fathom/discuss.
