Team just needs to listen to coach and take every week one game at a time. If they keep using the pass to set up the run, Texans are going to be very tough to stop for anyone.

@tgs5725 6 ай бұрын

I've been a Ravens fan since 2006. But the reason Lamar doesn't get a lot of leeway from the media is because his stats don't pop on paper. I really like Lamar a bunch. But there's a difference between Burrow throwing over 350 yards 2 TDs & 2INTs then having an MVP candidate receiver driving down the field to beat him and Lamar throwing 223 1TD and 2 INTs and letting the browns comeback when they were down by like 20 points. That Ravens loss was disgusting.

@erniesbiscuits8691 6 ай бұрын

As a Bengals fan Nick is absolutely right about us. Burrow is the best thing to happen to this franchise in my lifetime; and I never thought I'd see my Bengals in back-to-back AFC Championships never mind a Superbowl (too young to remember their losses to the 49ers). But that game against the Texans - we had to have it. And yes, Tyler Boyd's drop was potentially game losing and everyone will focus on that, but what REALLY lost the game was two factors. 1: the defence's inability to stop the Texans. Time and again they were in 3rd and long and converted. Just not good enough. 2: the offense. Yes, we scored 27 points, but after that first TD drive we had 5 punts and 32 yards. This has happened far too often recently with the O just going to sleep for 2 and a half quarters in a game and letting other teams either take control or hang around. People will think I'm being harsh, but Burrow is THAT GOOD, and the expectations have been raised accordingly.

You can’t blame Boyd for the loss! An endzone INT and endzone drop cancel each other out. Honestly the INT is worse because instead of 3 you get 0. Then he had another one AND got 2 fumbles from Stroud plus a INT. The offense STALLED and Chase played well so you can’t play that card. You were missing Higgins but still had a TOP 5 WR out there! The margin for error was already zero then you drop this game. Now your AFC record is even worse and the only tie breaker you hold is BUF. It will take PURE LUCK at this point to make the playoffs. Sucks because the Bengals are one of the best watches in the league. Next year Higgins is likely gone and that defense will start to lose another piece or two like Hubbard, Hendrickson, or Reader. Going to be an interesting off season….

Baltimore is a paper tiger. Whenever they're behind and Lamar has to be a true passing QB, he gets exposed. Come playoff team, they'll fall behind one game and he'll fall apart. Again.

Doesn't really matter since Baltimore is 7-3, Pittsburgh & Cleveland are both 6-3.

We've been saying this for years at this point, but it's hard to win games when you ask your quarterback to get rid of the ball as soon as it hits his hands. This team doesn't get back to the super bowl until they stop half-assing fixing this complete dumpster of an offensive line.

@pahbert 6 ай бұрын

amen ... watching how long other teams have to throw versus Burrow is INFURIATING. Texans didn't even have to blitz. Their 4-man rush was too much for us on 90% of snaps.

Cj stroud and demeco is about to win the afc south. They have a very easy schedule coming up. They just need to circle the date with colts and jaguars and win those and the division is basically theirs unless they lose to the scrub teams.

They are talking crazy about stroud, he is absolutely in the top area of the MVP discussion his stats are great but the more important part is his over empowering impact he’s had on the team… not the best player award or the best player on a top team but the most impactful to winning and the Texans are worlds apart from last year

If they get Tee Higgens back they have a chance, but if they struggle with injuries they're in trouble. They really needed to beat the Texans. I was surprised that the Texans beat them, even more surprised that Texans should've won easily, 3 turnovers really kept Bengals in the game. Joe Burrow was under duress the whole game, while CJ Stroud had his way with what was supposed to be a pretty good Bengals Defense. If they lose to the Ravens they're pretty much done...

It’s funny how these analysts/media in general think that because the Texans record isn’t as good as other teams, that stroud shouldn’t be an mvp candidate. The dude even said that he had 2 game winning drives that his defense sold and their record would be 7-2, and if they hadn’t then he would absolutely be in the conversation. But a guy being carried by his defense having just over a 2-1 int ratio is a favorite to win MVP. It’s ridiculous. This narrative needs to change, the award is called most valuable player. Not most valuable game manager.

Long time Bangalore fan here (since 1986) as much as I find myself not agreeing with Nick day in and day out I’m going to have to agree with him 100% !!! No Higgins, Hubbard , Hendrickson this week is already going to be hard enough, but to think Cincinnati is going to roll into Baltimore (Primetime Thursday) and beat them is insane to me and in straight denial. This team just doesn’t have it this year like the last two. Losing Bell & Bates hurt our defense in a bad way. Still love my Bengals , I’m just a realist here
