i think saving ourselfs in the preseason is killing us in the regular season, point blank the 1st string offense (minus anyone hurt of course) should of played at least 1 if not 2 series in the preseason, hell the way they played last week it would of been 2 sets of 3 and outs .but at least they would have got some real reps. . it boggles the mind how every year we hide from real snaps in the preseason..

gotta say alot of collar tugs going on there for Jones. , but you keep your guy away from the qb however you can, so if they aint calling it, he did his job.

The Bengals today released OT La'el Collins from the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. Collins, a ninth-year player, was placed on the Reserve/PUP list on Aug. 29. He originally joined the Bengals as an unrestricted free agent during the 2022 offseason and started 15 games at ROT for Cincinnati last season. ok. our line sucked so bad on sunday they released a player on pup?

the browns used a spread DL quite abit because we stayed in the shotgun, we have to quit being married to 1 scheme and learn to adjust to what the defense is doing. it was 3rd and 3 we lined up in the shotgun and they put the Dts inbetween the guards and tackles. mary popins coulda came up to the center and qb snuck (sneaked?) for 4 yards., if JB isnt healthy enough to line up under center for any plays then he needs to stay off the field.

entire offense....bruised pride Jamarr chase.... embarrassed by elves special teams.. not so special blues..

how about we get out of the shotgun occasionally, (did we run the whole game from the shotgun?) bad weather ? passing just aint getting it ?? we should have lined up under center and ran some from a 1 back set (since we dont have a FB) 2 te play maybe , 6th OL? want to slow down a pass rusher? run at him with power. let garret line up where he wants and go at him. why continue to hand your rb the ball at a stand still, when you can give him some momentum?

lol did you watch the game or just looking at the stat sheet? cause none of them balls were decent. JB had a rough day, dont hang it on higgins

it put them up 21 points so 3 TDs wouldnt beat tham

need to change the title of this to preseason game one. Defense gets hung out again.. i believe they played good enough to win. Offense 3 and out.... punt , shanked.. here ya go defense , 1/2 a field to defend.

i aint worried about it anymore. he'll stay or he'll go , they'll pay him or they'll pay another. yes he is worth what he wants. i am sure he can get what he wants from somewhere , but on the other hand whats it worth to him to have Burrow throwing to him. 2 way street there. i really do like Tee, he seems to appreciate the fans and take his position as a NFL player seriously. he appears to be a good role model i hope he gets whatever he wants from life, hopefully as a bengal.

i think Ariza "witnesses we're paid off, like it seems they always are when stars are involved..... ( oh wait.... he wasnt there?... Really??)

yes but when the team was going 4-12 they used to brag that they had the highest % of their drafted player still on their roster...

i believe they have to be on the 53 man roster then they can be IRRed tomorrow,

meh... on all three back ups none impressed me to place one over the other. . Browning nearly over threw Yoshi for the TD. lots of passes short from all 3, but kinda hard to judge a QB when the only starter that played was RT Williams.

if Williams can just give us an average RT starts i will be happy,

another fantasy football Madden video game type reporter that thinks everything running on stats and numbers. In real life people and players make decisions for their own reasons that dont match algorithms Maybe Allen didnt want to be here stuck at #2 and SF with all their hurt QBs looked like a better chance to start. maybe they did upgrade the running game signing Orlando Brown personally , i am just as tired of people saying we could cut so and so and save X million as i was of the bengals always saying the team did not have any cap space.

so? pay them the full year :-)

agree with most, few exceptions, WR Jones, he is injured and need surgery , and you have him returning on special teams. i cant see that happening. myself i would pup or ir him and keep Taylor. 10 OL with Collins on pup. i would go 9 and keep another on the DL.

no.... you carry a back up QB,

and thats why they need to play in the preseason, to work these things out, some passes were thrown in tight windows., and completed. so good for them . too bad our offense is going to wait until week one before they see what needs to be fixed. or maybe we shouldnt play the offensive starters then either, especially if burrow cant go,,, , so they dont get hurt..

football is a contact team sport played in 20 sec short bursts of 100% effort and then a 30 sec shut down while you prepare to do it again. there is no way to prepare your body for this with out doing it. that fact anyone thinks a player can prepare themselves at all with only mental type classroom , and solo physical reps shows a total lack of understanding what these professionals do. there has to be contact. you risk more injury being unprepared . there is no way to prepare with out doing it.

so what do you want? everyone to sit around in bubble wrap until week 1? hell burrow came up lame in a controlled team practice with no contact. i guess we need to stop practicing too.

the scrimmage against GB was just that a scrimmage.. no play clock , with time to set every play /formation however they wanted etc. so they can play the 1st teams a series or 2. , i remember last year too. offense in week 1 looked like a bunch of warner leaguers... so lets not kill the defense in week 1 because our offense is trying to figure out how to play and pulls a bunch of 3 and outs. and lets them play for 45 minutes ... seriously now , dont be stupid and play everyone a half, and if their hurt or questionable for gods sake dont play themat all. but if they are healthy they can play a series or 2.

why would anyone want to trade a highly talented team 1st WR for one that just announced, he wasnt playing because he didnt get an extension? tired of not having crybaby me 1st players?

i dont want anyone to get hurt, it would not hurt any player on this team to get 5-10 live snaps , if they are that fragile, they wont make it through the season anyway.
