Final.

Plus the Ravens is going to lose to the Giants it looks like after Jackson loses a strip sack fumble.

Classic Lamar to lose the ball in a big spot.

That was a big turn around in both games right at the end.

A win is a win, who dey!

Time to start a winning streak. Offense made some adjustments and looked better. Concerns with how badly the run D got gashed. I wonder the extent of Logan Wilson’s injury. That last series was the Andy Dalton we remembered. Who Dey!

I’m not really concerned about the run D, considering today was the first game the run defense struggled. Yet even with that the defense still didn’t give up a second half touchdown. 
 

Hopefully Logan Wilson’s injury isn’t to serious. 

Glad that my Bengals pulled it out now I can sit back and relax and watch the next two games I've been looking forward to this Chiefs and Bills game since I seen it on the NFL schedule this past spring. I also think the Cowboys and Eagles game could be a good one as well.

I know a lot of people complain sometimes about how Burrow may end up getting sacked because of holding on to the ball to long trying to make a play. Well today is the reason why he does things like that. In the second half instead of just throwing it away like a lot of QBs would do including our former QB in Dalton, Burrow held on to it and scrambled around avoiding a sack and eventually found a WR open to get a huge third down. Which they had to have, since the Saints were controlling the clock. Yes there will be times he ends up getting sacked by holding it to long. You have to take the good with the bad when it comes to that, and IMO the good out weighs the bad a lot of the times with him holding on to it trying to make a play.  

That scramble today may have been a season saver, because I don’t think they win today without that. Huge win today, and record wise back in a tie for first, even though they still haven’t really played an overall really good game yet. 

Who Dey!

Just heard a almost unbelievable stat with just over 3 minutes left in the first half of the Bills 6th game their punter just punted for only the 10th this season.

You make a great point about his willingness to take sacks because of his ability to extend plays. I would like to see a little more situational awareness. It didn't happen today, but there have been a few times that he's taken a sack that knocked us out of field goal range.

I thought about the last 3 quarters was the most Joe has looked like “last year” Joe!  A little more comfortable in the pocket, overall better throws, really think we need to win the next 4, the talent is there.  I’m probably in the minority on this but I’ve NEVER been an Apple fan

I don’t think anyone will ever say they are an actual Apple fan, because people know he is going to have moments when he gets beat.  Now people will defend him some when people trash him and say he is horrible, because since he has been with the Bengals he has done ok. Now today was obviously not a good day for him, and hopefully this is not the start of a lot of issues ahead. However, he was a big part of the defense during that playoff run last year, and has been solid this year until today. So he has done some solid things on this defense. 
 

This defense also still hasn’t gave up a touchdown in the second half this year, and he has been playing all year. So he definitely is not as bad as some people sometimes like to say, if he was then teams would take advantage of him even more. 

Just read Bengals not feeling good about Wilson’s injury yesterday, it was the same shoulder he had surgery on in the offseason, losing him and Reader both out of the middle of our D really puts a sour taste on yesterday’s win

I heard Reader is close to returning. Maybe not this week but probably the week after.

Hopefully it’s not season ending. With that said he was out for a few weeks during the tough end of the year slate they had, and his backups filled in pretty nicely. So hopefully they can do that again and he eventually returns this year.
