The Lamar, The Defence and The Injury

Inexcusable, he has to be fired. How do you let him just carve us up like that all game. He has to go!

All game long.. I’m telling my 11 year old son, who is in his first year of truly learning the game next to me, make someone else make the play expect Jamarr. I couldn’t understand why Chase was not taken completely out of the game. I wouldn’t have gave a shit if Gesicki had a career game and 200 yards but you cannot allow Chase to (almost) beat you.

aside from a few broken plays the defense seemed to be much better tonight for a lot of stretches. They were bending but eventually stepped up quite often, then boom they give up a few 1 play drives.

Obviously clear up those one play drives, cmon yall, do better there.

However, what is working for them right now? Because something is working a lot better and I don’t watch film or anything so idk what it is, but things seem to look better for most of the game. I’m seeing improvement, I just don’t know what we’re doing differently.

Tonight they would have looked MUCH better had the refs not gifted them so many extended drives on third and fourth down failures. Freak occurrence again with Stephens not being able to complete that endzone int, he’s a victim of a lot of these freak occurrences still, hard to keep hoping his luck just turns around. I think better pressure and ardarius Washington was a big difference.

Travis Jones means Madubuike is not double covered all game. Results in a much better pressure.

Man coverage worked much better than our fucked up zone. Well anything works better than our zone.

Man coverage.

When we played man, bengals looked beatable on offence and the stats are actually kinder than the tape too coz stephens should have had that pick in the end zone too that would have made the bengals stats vs man look even uglier

We’re Swiss cheese when we play zone right now

Before tonight's game, Lamar & Burrow had 20 TDs on the year. They threw 4 TDs tonight, giving them both 24 TDs on the year leading the league in passing Touchdowns heading into Sunday's games. Baker Mayfield is 3rd with 23 passing TDs.

Wiggins is gonna have his lumps but he’s gonna be a good man corner I think. If humohrey keeps it up and Wiggins matures quickly, they could heat up and we just start calling man.

The problem is - "right now" is 10 weeks long. It has to fucking stop. How much more do they need to see?

If that works for us, keep calling it and get better at it. Whatever we gotta do man, the offense can win a Super Bowl with a mediocre defense, just be mediocre.

That said I gotta stop talking Super Bowl because I’m really not close to encouraged. The Pitt series will determine whether I feel like we’re any kind of contender. We sweep Pitt if we’re a contender, I think if we lose either of them we won’t be good enough to get through the afc playoffs, we’ll likely need to play them and the chiefs if we wanna go all the way, if we lose 2 out of 3 of that series then how can we be expected to go 2-0 against that same pair of teams in January

Could this have been a holding call? Sure, but this is some of the most bitchmade shit I've seen. Out here with an Oscar-winning performance with that flop. The amount of incessant bitching after the calls from the Bengals pass-catchers was embarrassing to watch.

Also, side note…

Bit embarrassing that some ravens fans were booing the offence in the 3rd quarter



I like this side of Marlon. He knows the ass right now. This isn’t Ravens football

I was at the game and I’ll tell you it’s very deflating to be out there screaming and making noise and the defense looks like shit or the refs gift a down. I didn’t like the boo and I didn’t boo; however, I can’t say I’m surprised. Marlon was right that the boos were kind of warranted.

The boos were after an offensive drive stalled. They booed the offence.

That was what was embarrassing.
