What Bengals fans are saying

A plan to ask one guy to cover CMC man-to-man is a plan to fail, ask Luke. Only way to cover CMC is by committee in zone. 

a notable difference between asking a defender to cover CMC running actual routes vs being a check down out of the backfield IMO. 

No LB can cover him running real routes.  LBs can take out some of those CMC checkdowns where he isn't running routes and just leaking or flaring out to a large degree IMO.

WHO IS THIS BENGAL'S QB?  And what has he done with Andy Dalton??

Through a grand total of 2 games this year, he has a QB rating of 108.5.  In his 7 previous years, only once has he exceeded 92 for a season.

So it stands to reason, there'll be a serious reversion to the mean, before too long.  He hasn't suddenly discovered the secret to being "elite."

Hard to believe, but the Bengals "brain trust" really doesn't pay THAT much attention to our wants and desires over at theBengalsboard.com. Give it till about the second quarter on the game day threads and we'll either be over confident or will have declared our side to be the worst team in the history of the entire universe . Take your pick. That's how game day threads work, eh? We're either gonna go to the super bowl and win by a hundred or we're going to fall off the edge of the earth and set a new record for terribleness.. 
I think our teams match up pretty good and neither team gets the respect from national pundits we seem to desire although I really don't care what the "Egg-spurts" have to say from one week to the next. They all seem to think the sun rises and sets on a few teams that the rest of the known universe hates. 
Our offensive line has some gaping holes your defense can exploit, but we both have a similar problem. 
I think that you got lucky missing out on Joe Mixon. He hasn't really broken any long TD runs yet, but has been really close on numerous occasions. I like when both teams best players are on top of their respective games. After all, who wants to watch any team's backups play and when you win it's a whole lot more fun to beat their best players than their backups. 
Hey, good luck Panther fans. I hope to see a great game from both teams, but naturally being a Bengals fan I'm hoping our great game turns out better for us than you and I would expect you feel the same except for the outcome of the score at the end.

I can't say I'm surprised they think it will be easy. Both our offense and defense has looked like poo this year. We have not looked like a playoff team at all. 

Then again isn't that what every team's fans say at this point in the season?  Well, except for Pittsburgh fans who all seem to think that they are impervious to any kind of failure ever and the rules simply don't apply to them.. 

Did I mention my extreme distaste for the Squats? Yeah, that's probably implied..

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
