Burrow was given to possible plays to run in that scenario. He checked to the second play, and made a great play! Loved it!

He actually said that "Burrow said that Uzomah was the third read on the play.

“They did a great job of covering the first two and we actually threw it to C.J. in practice this week for the first time in two years."

I'm glad it worked out and I'll bet that Coach Taylor was as well.

Taylor gave Burrow two possible plays to run in that situation. Burrow checked to the second play at the line. That play was a play they ran successful a few other times the last couple of years. This was the first time with this play, that it ended up being Uzomah that got the ball. Definitely great job by Burrow being patient in that situation and not panicking after his first two reads were covered. Our former QB here usually struggled if his first read wasn’t open. So it’s awesome seeing Burrow make plays like that. 

Unless I missed it, one thing people haven’t mentioned was how great the crowd was yesterday. It was a great crowd, and most excited I have seen the crowd be since the last playoff game. 
 

It was a lost end of the game fumble that closed the Bengals window and started the downturn. Hopefully it was now a fumble recovery at the end of the game that now opens that window back up and starts an upturn that last for the whole franchise.

I just saw on I think NBC discussing the games today before the Sunday night game they were saying that on the 4th and inches call it was a run and Burrow changed the call to pass at the line. Gutsy call by the young guy and it worked great!

This one needed a love button.

Mike Brown/Bengals/Aramark/DJC Concessions and me lost a lot of money today.  Cashless made lines the longest I've ever seen them at PBS and honestly anywhere.  

Fingers crossed they are getting the vendors a better system by Week 4.

But hell yeah, go Bengals!  Big win to start the season!

I am sorry to hear that MJ.  When I saw it was no cash, that is all I pay with when I go out, I figured I won't be buying anything once I am inside the stadium and I am going to the next home game. 

What about outside PBS, is it cashless there too?

I am not sure about outside of PBS, but I'd imagine cash would still be accepted there.

You can turn cash in at some reverse ATM kiosk thing and get basically a debit card, I believe.  But the machine they had vendors using, doesn't accept that.  So you can imagine how that went over with some fans haha!

Thanks and what a mess.

There is another pain about the new PBS system.  Season ticket holders get 15% off the Pro Shop and concessions using a bar code on our phones.  Several of the scanners could not even read the bar codes (or the staff was not trained properly to use the scanners).

Should have been a easy win the Vikings are average at best.

I disagree.  I think the best we can tell right now the Bengals are average.  It wasn't pretty but it was a win and that is all that matters.

When I saw they went cashless I was wondering about you guys. Has to be a nightmare for vendors and a pain dealing with tips.

I'd imagine it would probably be both.

If they get us a better device, it will actually be better than when we were cash, which might sound crazy but in 2019, beers were $9.75, so two for $19.50.  You can imagine how many times I'd get a $10 or $20 bill and told to keep it.

Whereas now beers are $10.36 after tax, crazy number I know.  But if people hit 10% on that device, which most due.  You can see where that is a lot better, even if the tips go through a company before getting to me.

If they get us a better device, I am going to be thrilled, but not faith it will happen like we are told.

The Vikings every other year under Zimmer seem to have a good year and end up as a playoff team. This year is the year they are due to be a playoff team again. Minnesota defense especially up front is very. Then offensively their weapons are up there with most teams. For them Oline play is their question mark. I think they will end up being much better than you make them sound here.
