NFL: Week 4 game thread

[Dr. Gonzo]

Plenty of time for Jacksonville to play like Jacksonville

 

[Bergs]

The Bengals OL is a tire fire.

Scratch that. Black smoke from a tire fire would open up more holes than this OL.

Bengals getting booed off the field.

DUUUUUU


VALLLLLLLLLL

….

jk idc, I just love football

Bengals run D:

Vs Min: 22 attempts, 67 yards, 3.0 yards per carry.
At Bears: 34 attempts, 123 yards, 3.6 yards per carry.
At Steelers: 15 attempts, 45 yards, 3.0 yards per carry.

Tonight: 19 attempts, 113 yards, 5.9 yards per carry. Are you fucking kidding me? To the Jags?

How has FOX not sponsored Buck’s forehead yet?

Well one thing.
Those other 3 have QBs who are... not gonna run, at all.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Maybe try to keep the rookie QB in the pocket?

 

[SMU_Sox]

Well one thing.

Minus Fields who played half the game for Chicago. Taking out Lawrence then Robinson is averaging over 5 yards a pop. Ok. taking a walk. It feels like it's over but stranger things have happened. I thought the Bengals prime time curse ended when Dalton got out of town.

Just for shits and giggles Justin Fields was 10 for 31 against them for 3.1 yards per carry

 

[Cellar-Door]

Please QB keep, my fantasy team can't survive an 18 point first half for James Robinson

 

[mauf]

Like the GFI call, but it’s a major disadvantage to be unable to take a snap under center and force the defense to defend against the QB sneak.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Ya gotta sneak that with a 6'6 QB

 

[yecul]

Thursday games are a major wildcard with mediocre teams. Usually I defer to home teams in those spots so this is pretty nuts.

 

[Bergs]

Letting Burrow do that sneak on his knee is insanely bad coaching.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Letting Burrow do that sneak on his knee is insanely bad coaching.

Why not shotgun it, run for a couple and throw it OOB?

 

[luckiestman]

Why doesn’t the backup QBs do this?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Why not shotgun it, run for a couple and throw it OOB?

bad snap, or he trips.
Just put in the Allen and let him do it

 

[Bergs]

Why not shotgun it, run for a couple and throw it OOB?

Yes.

Why doesn’t the backup QBs do this?

Or yes.

it's bigger than peyton no way

 

[SMU_Sox]

I guess things could be worse for CIN. It could be 21-0. Jaguars had their best first half. Cincinnati gets the ball back. Still feeling like cheeks about that start though.

 

[rodderick]

Chase is ridiculous on these go routes.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Great drive

 

[Bergs]

Give Burrow time and he is easily a top 10 QB in this league right now, with a ceiling of top 3.

Top 3 in a league with Mahomes, Brady, Wilson, Rodgers, Allen?

 

[Bergs]

Top 3 in a league with Mahomes, Brady, Wilson, Rodgers, Allen?

Ceiling = not this season. But yes to Allen, Wilson, and Mahomes 2-3 years from now. He's "football smarter" than all 3 of them, imo.

 

[rodderick]

Ceiling = not this season. But yes to Allen, Wilson, and Mahomes 2-3 years from now. He's "football smarter" than all 3 of them, imo.

He's got a lot of catching up to Herbert to do to be the best QB in his own draft class, nevermind measuring up to those guys.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Give Burrow time and he is easily a top 10 QB in this league right now, with a ceiling of top 3.

That's a whole lot of projection on not a whole lot of evidence. The guy hasn't been a top 20 QB yet and you're saying that he'd rise 10 spots if he got a bit better blocking?

His ceiling is really high( top 5-10 to me), but he's still a young raw QB who has a lot of flaws

 

[Bergs]

Penalties like that fucking suck (even though it didn't matter).

 

[DanoooME]

Cincy OL blew Jax off the ball on that play.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Mixon is hard to tackle.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Competent run blocking by the OL+TE is strange to watch after the Pats games this season.

 

[Bergs]

That's a whole lot of projection on not a whole lot of evidence. The guy hasn't been a top 20 QB yet and you're saying that he'd rise 10 spots if he got a bit better blocking?

"A bit" better? Have you watched this shitshow O-Line the last 2 years?

His ceiling is really high( top 5-10 to me),

So we agree he has a very high ceiling

but he's still a young raw QB who has a lot of flaws

Aren't they all.

This isn't a winnable argument, especially when people intentionally misinterpret what "ceiling" means in terms of temporal proximity (not saying you're doing that, CD). I think Burrow is a singluar talent and leader of men, and have thought so since he was 15.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Holy facemask!

 

[Bergs]

Running another QB sneak on his knee should be a fireable offense.

 

[Harry Hooper]

I can't see anything on the replays.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Better get the score there with Reche Caldwell standing there wide open to his left.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I hate when a RB has a great tough run to the 6in line, and you don't just give it to him again

 

[Bergs]

I hate when a RB has a great tough run to the 6in line, and you don't just give it to him again

100%

 

[DanoooME]

I hate when a RB has a great tough run to the 6in line, and you don't just give it to him again

Don't remind me.

 

[Bergs]

Don't remind me.

Tee hee.

 

[Bergs]

Stupid.

 

[DanoooME]

That was an amazing toe tap.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I mean... what?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Shoulder to shoulder doesn't matter when you're dropping your shoulder into a guy who slid.

 

[DanoooME]

So that's what halftime adjustments look like! Huh

 

[Bergs]

Looked like a false start.

 

[Cellar-Door]

All 3 of those plays were penalties. 2 called then picked up.

Also, Tavon Austin is bad, stop trying to make it happen

 

[Harry Hooper]

Looked like a false start.

Yes

 

[Harry Hooper]

Soft coverage plus whiff on tackle = nice defense.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Playing 10 yards off their #1 receiver on 3rd and 3, eh?
