Is it though? I don't think they've given up 30 points in a game yet. Compared to years past, Bengals fans have been pretty complimentary of their defense.

8th total team defense yardage, 16th in passing defense and I believe 9th in rushing defense. 5th in points

They have a good run D, pass D is Ok. Bengals will probably focus on their strength of run D so we will be able to exploit their weakness if our pass game is on song.

Bozeman back at practice today which is a good sign. Likely limited but bodes well for Sunday.

Only Murray, Watkins, and BWill (likely vet day) missing.

Bengals defense has some players, they are MUCH better than the chargers defense

People need to take them seriously. I know we're coming off a big "high" because we blew out a really good team, but that's not the norm in this league and I don't expect it to be the norm on Sunday either.

I've watched most of their games, and this is a much better Bengals team than what we've seen in probably the last 5-6 years. I'd argue they're every bit as good as some of the Dalton playoff teams, though probably not as stout on defense.

I don’t think you understand how good some of their top players are, and how many solid players they have around them. Burrow, chase, and mixon is an elite trio, they’re gonna be a massive thorn in our balls for years. Higgins and Boyd give them one of the best wr corps in the league. They have what seems like a solid starter at half the positions on defense and the other half all seem to be having good seasons but the jury is still out(Eli apple for example).

this game, on paper, is absolutely not easy. I’m frankly more worried about them than I was about the chargers last week

As much as I agree with them being a thorn, I think it’s your penchant for pessimism saying that they are worse for us that the Chargers were

I was pretty worried about the Chargers prior to the game, definitely would have thought they were tons better than Cinci. But agree this won’t be easy, especially adding in that it is a divisional game.

Why do you care? It's not your cash, and it's not that much in terms of salary cap. Certainly not enough to make an impact on the team overall.

Has anybody else ever noticed who horrendously terrible Americans are at telling people what to do with their money, and simultaneously, how awful they are with their own money? Like you could do a 6 hour comedy special on that alone.

Damn, how did you know I chase 0 DTE options with marvelous loss porn. I yield back, Reddit has made me a miserable person. I respect you as a long time original poster on BR.com, I’m just pissed and I took it out on Stanley
