November 7, 20222 yr comment_1685015 Hope yesterday's game gave Mixon some energy and confidence. Same for the OL. Much tougher opponents to come.

Traded McCaffrey, fired the coach, benched Mayfield, yeah not exactly playing for today. The defense looked like they were playing to not get hurt. They know the season is over. Pretty much agree. How many penalties did they have for lining up in the neutral zone or jumping off sides. If not an NFL record (if such records are kept) it had to be close. The poster child for poor coaching and being unprepared for a game. TBH... if they had started Mayfly over Pajamas, it would have been closer.
November 7, 20222 yr comment_1685027 fwiw, Panthers run D came into that game #1 in the NFL in run DVOA. Their run D was actually really good prior to this one.
November 7, 20222 yr comment_1685033 Well, maybe the Panthers aren't in full tank mode. https://www.nfl.com/news/panthers-interim-hc-steve-wilks-fires-two-more-coaches-in-wake-of-loss-to-bengal

When I checked stats they were below average in YPC and total yards so I'm not sure how they had a #1 run defense in some other formula?
November 7, 20222 yr comment_1685068 take it up w/ football outsiders. DVOA is usually pretty damn accurate tho.

Yeah, their owner won't mind if they get the top pick in the draft. Though Houston would have to win another game. Carolina fired their D-line coach today.
November 8, 20222 yr comment_1685092 It would still be silly not to get another RB in the draft though. Obviously CE is not who the team views as mixon's replacement in the future. Plus his injuries see to be an issue.

November 8, 20222 yr comment_1685097 Lots of good stuff in this, he said Trent Taylor had a hell of a game blocking

The Bengals have done a decent job of this over the last decade. Guys like Burkhead, Gio and Perine were very important parts of the team. RBs just take a beating and overuse shortens their careers.

Thats why you gotta cycle them

Their defense has been the strength of their team. It’s hard to justify canning two coaches because of 1 game.

Maybe once or so but seems like every drive someone did or jumped off sides.

It just kills a drive..
November 8, 20222 yr comment_1685116 The Bengals rank 5th in fewest penalties with 41.. Denver last with 70 Bengals rank 1st in yrds allowed penaties with 274.. Denver last with 600.. Bengals are very disciplined under Taylor and his staff..

The message to the players is pretty clear: most of you will be following these guys out the door soon. Also, does anyone think Wilkes has this kind of power after 3 games as HC? Maybe there was a blow up after the game that caused this.
