Ties are unsettling, but our offense was great and it's starts upfront

Seriously...as bad as Bell and Chandler have played this year, this was probably one of the best efforts of their careers.  

 

Also, the interior when Velasco moved to LG to replace Amini excelled.  Velasco is nice to have and Turner has been steadily improving.  Still have a ways to go with run blocking but today was easily their best performance of the year.  This Cinci defense is no slouch.  

 

Cam was able to be Cam today and it was a delight to watch.  I gotta give the offense its due.  

 

Cheers to the big uglies.

The OL was still not very good.  The offense did well in spite of them not because of them.

 

Cam had a TON of time during the game today.  Like I said the run blocking is still poor but they did what they had to do from the pass blocking side of things.  Velasco is soilid to have.  Nothing special but solid and given our situation, he has helped this OL out.

OL definitely improved when Amini went out.  Might be time to just admit he's a bust and move on.

 

Velasco has more experience and Amini is coming off an ACL tear.  Wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't 100%.  I'd agree benching him might be a good idea though...at least to get him healthy or to get his head in the game.

I agree pass blocking was decent.  Blitz pickup has improved but still isn't good.

 

Run blocking is terrible.

Cam had all day to throw the ball and we had 147 rushing yards. If our defense wasnt so pathetic, we win that game

 

Defense are the biggest losers for sure.  147 rushing yards is misleading as Cam was picking them up by running away from our line that can't block for ten yard gains.

This.  We lost this game on defense and special teams.  When you score 37 points and you're supposed to be a defensive oriented team, you should win the game every single time.

Can't polish a turd.

 

All things considered, they played pretty well. Especially against a defense supposedly better than the Steelers and Ravens. And on the road...

IMO this was the best called game so far this season by Shula. Still not good enough, and want him to get more creative, but at least he wasn't calling rund plays just to call them. Afraid it will get back to more running plays when deangelo and stewart comes back

That was on Mythbusters.  Turns out you can polish a turd.  It will even have very impressive luster.

      frank, that ball was very catchable where it hit his hands. I don't even think he bent at waist until after he dropped it. He actually slows his pace to position himself to catch the ball. That will never be a pass I'd blame on the QB.   NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-54-54.mp4

      https://overthecap.com/position/left-guard   Lewis is the 9th highest paid Left Guard in the league. I bet it was higher when the deal was done two years ago.    https://overthecap.com/position/right-guard Hunt #3 highest Right Guard   There is a tab in the upper left portion of the graphic that allows looking at the different positions.

      It was a great play, but a better catch than throw. The TE boxes out Moehrig for position. Jumps to catch the ball. Catches it and turns 180 degrees while he's still in the air. Comes down and toe taps to stay in bounds and lunges for the goal post. That first part where he boxes out Moehrig for the ball is huge. If he doesn't do that and simply fades back to catch the ball (this is why Bryce doesn't trust XL), then Moehrig likely undercuts the pass for a break up or INT. Stafford trusts his receivers to make plays for him. Here I slowed it down so you can see it. Great play but amazing catch and score by the TE.  NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-45-32.mp4 NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-44-37.mp4
