Watched the condensed version of the Pats/Bengals. That OL is not good at all. Trent Brown is so so bad. I’d put Karlaftis on him and Chris inside against Volson.
I think this is finally gonna be the game where Mahomes puts a whoopin on Burrow. |

Volson has been looking much better his past few games but can still be a liability. Actually, Cappa has been one of the worst for the interior OL (getting bad scores) most recently. Bengals interior O-Line vs Chris Jones is a real big problem (big problem for.most teams actually). Speed rushers should go against OBJ. He has been doing pretty well against strength and bull rushes,,, speed rushers to his sides can give him real issues. |

Burrow very well may get it back on track but even if, I think the odds of it showing this week are slim to none.
KC's secondary is real fast, and really on the same accord. It's just hard. He's going to need to win a lot of 50-50 balls down field I think to have a shot at winning or sustaining offense. |

I believe it's a philosophical thing where his style of defense for whatever reason puts a lot of pressure on the back seven because they try so damn hard to just keep the QB in the pocket and do not really rush them in a way that gets the ball out of their hands fast. On the flip side, I feel like his defense is really ****ing hard on pocket QBs (see his success vs. Brady). |

Chris Jones clearly has free reign on the DL. I cannot wait for him to kill Joe Burrow. If he plays like he did last week, then he will get 2+ sacks. The dudes gonna win DPOTY.

The only thing I fear is Jumpball Joe completes like 90% of those garbage 50 50 hero balls against us. It's so lame.

I have a freak WR out there to where I can throw up a 50/50 and have faith that they'll likely make a play? Keep chucking it baby! We'll see though.. Burrow has been checking down and "taking what the defense gives him" (his words after the game last Sunday). If the wrist issue is real and/or he continues to check it down we might not see 50/50 balls. |

It’s unreliable. Hence the zero TD passes in the fourth quarter of playoff games. |

Higgins is a boss at those 50/50 balls, Chase is spectacular out of his cuts and into space for YAC, etc... I said in the other Bengals thread, but Cincy really screwed the pooch here. They had those 2, Burrow and Hendrickson on steal contracts and managed very little. Those are MASSIVE assets on a cap sheet that have essentially amortized out. Now they'll never be in a situation like that again. Maybe they'll find their way through it. But the only real way to do that is to pay a LOT of cash and keep kicking the can for 5-6 years the way Jerrah does in Dallas. And then you hope you draft a Parsons and get some breakout performances from someone like Bland. And so while your QB and WRs cost real money, you've supplemented them and you can survive it. But Mike Brown isn't gonna do that. He's not Jerry. He's going to try to do it on the cheap and things are just going to spiral on them. The '21 loss in the SB and '22 loss in the AFCCG are likely gonna haunt these fellas for a real long time. '22 would be the worst for me because they seemed ready to take the next step after the '21 loss to LA. The injury to Burrow in '23 (probably because of the hammy) was also pretty brutal and is likely to still be impacting them this season. That's a 4 year wide-open championship window and it's extremely unlikely that they'll end up with much in the trophy case to show for it. |
