This feels like MNF all over again. Can't count out jj just yet, gotta wait until the 4th quarter.

If Jake Browning can protect the ball better the Bengals may have a shot.

But 3 months would put Burrow back with only 3 or 4 games, if the Bengals record is abysmal by them, ya gotta hold him out; protect him from himself.

This is the worst I’ve seen the offensive line play in a long time. Seems like everyone not named Brian O’Neil can’t block their man for more than 1 second.

I’m very curious on why they traded away Harrison Phillips, because this run defense flat out stinks.

for all the people out and the bad positions they've been in, the defense is holding up pretty well

Yup. Very much a bend but don’t break defense right now. With everyone out, I’ll gladly take that any week.

The offensive line just needs to hold up for this offense to do anything

Very very rough half for Donovan Hanson
Jackson. Has just been blown up multiple times this half.

I was just about to question why they weren’t taking a knee. Never mind.

There we go. Unlike last week, outside of the pick, I think JJ has looked good this half. The only issue has been the offensive line has given him zero time.

Gets time, and just unleashes a bullet down the middle. That was beautiful

This is the issue with the tush push. It’s a clear penalty and it’s like this every play, but is never called. It makes no sense why this isn’t called because it’s so obvious
