BengalBacker Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 The frustrating thing is, as bad as we've played, we were like one play away from winning both games. Of course that's how football often is. but we weren't blown out although we could have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if we just didn't have to play quarters 1, 2, and 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even last year they would lose to the Jets and Bears, but then rise up and beat the Chiefs twice. They seem to match the competition level - either up or down.

|BlackJesus| Posted September 19 Author Report Share Posted September 19 As strange as it sounds, it may be a disadvantage for them to be playing easy teams. They don't come in prepared or can't get up enough for the game. Or something ... 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted September 19 Author Report Share Posted September 19 The Bengals come out against opponents perceived to be easier, like a Michigan team playing Middle Tennessee State for homecoming. They just expect their superior talent to be enough. Then after it isn't for the first half, they start to take the game seriously and come back.

That’s a good point but they should be beating these teams no doubt. Where the heck has trey Hendrickson been btw? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Bengal linemen ,under Pollack, have shown great improvement? Hell, how many have shown any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was another guy that was missing during OTAs and just kind of doing his own thing in the off-season. Hopefully it isn't going to take several weeks to get all the Bengals players ready for the season. I'll take 2-2 ... But don't think they can dig out of 0-4.

I'd hope they have the sense to bench him before it gets to that, or an injury does it for them. So the OL was better last year? Sad and Pathetic!

|BlackJesus| Posted September 19 Author Report Share Posted September 19 Does Samaje have compromising photos of Mike Brown or something? Or is he just in there on 3rd down because he's a better blocker than all of the OL except Karras 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a better coaching the run or pass? Does he have assts that target those areas. I always wonder where this narrative comes from. Who said he’s “respected”, Hobson? his resume says differently. He took over for Bill Callahan in Dallas and the offensive line got progressively worse until he was fired. Then he comes to the Bengals under Bill Lazor. They draft Billy Price. Bengals have success running the ball, but still are horrible in pass protection. Marvin is fired. Pollack goes to the Jets under Gase. He drafts Mekhi Becton. Gase’s Jets tenure is a dumpster fire and the entire staff gets canned after two seasons. Pollack comes back to the Bengals. Gets promoted to “Run Game Coordinator”. He drafts Jackson Carman. Bengals offense line becomes national laughing stock on their way to the Super Bowl. Over the 1+ years as run game coordinator, he presides over a unit that has been bottom five in the NFL in run success rate. what am I missing other than parroting narratives from lazy journalists? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
