16thBBall Fan Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Burrow was 20/31 for 287 and two touchdowns and the O-line only allowed 1 sack. One other big stat the Bengals were 8/15 of 3rd down conversions. T. Higgins had 7 catches for 124 yards and a touchdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Good night for South Carolina. Gamecocks get a 50-10 win over SC St. and Hurst gets the game clinching TD on TNF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurst has been a great addition and I enjoy watching him play the game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breds82 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I can’t believe Tua was allowed to play tonight. The NFLPA fought so hard to keep the players safe from the owners pressure of having to Play immediately after suffering a concussion. I know they said back injury but even I could tell this past Sunday wasn’t a back deal. He was slammed hard to the ground but you can’t help but think. Outside of that the Bengals did enough to win and not allowing sacks helped that chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkypete Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Nice to see you tonight, @MJAlltheWay24! Thanks for selling my wife and I some drinks! Glad to finally meet you. Atmosphere was electric. @theguru, I finally got my white gear last night at Rally House! You would be proud. I saw on social media that some "haters" thought the Bengals looked like Storm Troopers! 🤣 Observation - the OL is not opening up any holes. Mixon has to fight for every yard. On sweeps, however, he might be better served by just turning upfield and running north/south. He appears to be looking for holes that aren't there. It's good to see Higgins and Boyd getting targets with a lot of the attention on Chase. They both had nice games. Bell had a great game too with his two picks. The Tua sack was hard but clean. Lots of rumors were going around that he had serious neurological damage (because he was sent to University Hospital instead of Christ Hospital). Good to see that he was released and got to go home with his team. Scary stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9068 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Is it just me or do the Bengals really have trouble run blocking. Certainly not an expert, but on running plays always seems to me that OL are standing up instead of firing out. Don't know the NFL rules per se but can you use two tight ends like all other levels?

It's not just you, it's the majority of people who watch the Bengals or follow them in any way. It's their obvious biggest glaring weakness. Using 2 tight ends basically just tells the defense that the run is coming. Even if you pass out of those formations, there's just not a lot that they'd be able to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The NFL (Miami) has maintained they went through all protocols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you have at least seven players on the LOS, they can have as many as they want. Just because you are TE, it doesn't mean you can block well, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now they are playing downhill and crashing the line of scrimmage whenever Burrow is under center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breds82 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Didn't they score the last TD out of a two TE set? Why on 3rd and 4th and short, don't they just have Burrow reach out and move the chains? The Ole Tom Brady Special, get the first down then work from there. Running a stretch play with Mixon on 4th and one is an absolutley horrible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
