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.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.
