NFL 2022 Season

[Tree13]

Bengals going to win this. Fair play to Burrow came up with some big throws scrambles when required

Fixed.

Did you see the one in the 4th, where he scrambled for six and baited the defender into the late hit? Got another 15 yards tacked on for the penalty. Clever, clever player.

Excellent change of focus by the Bengals coaching staff to move towards a more run-heavy gameplan in the second half. Kept us in touch by chewing up a LOT of clock and limiting the time Henry could be on the field with the ball. Run D stepped up too.

Amari Cooper just managed to actually make a Tampa corner sit down as he beat him deep. Unbelievable footwork.

Well with Chase back next week we will have our hands full. In fact we may well lose in a straightforward manner.

On the plus side it’s the only game we will lose between now and the end of the season so 14-3 and the 1 seed it is.

Where did I write him off? He’s a very good qb, no question. I said he’s not got the mobility you’d expect in the modern game.

Of all QBs in Week 12 (so far), Burrow has better running stats than EVERYONE except Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Marcus Mariota.

Jackson and Mariota both lost.

Small sample size, sure. But as I said before: plenty mobile enough for a pure pocket passer. Give him a competent OL in front of him and two things would happen:

a) his passing stats would improve dramatically;

b) his run stats would diminish, because he wouldn't NEED to run.

Nope, you'll beat us regardless. Your D is top 5, your OL is top 5. Mahomes might beat you but we can't do it without him choking for the third game in succession and that's just beyond unlikely.

Your #1 seed was nailed on from day one this year: you have six easy divisional games. Only team in the AFC with an easier schedule than you is the Titans.

Trevor Lawrence is the man

Huge performance against a very strong Baltimore defense.

We had the hardest first 8 games in nfl history

Every single team had a winning record the previous season

D is nowhere near top 5 look at the stats

Trevor Lawrence is the man

He certainly was today. He's got that in him, but it hasn't come out this way until today.

In charge.

 

[Tree13]

Great work by Travis Kielce there, taking a short pass and then adding 20 yards after the catch for the score. Incredible footwork to get the separation.

 

[Kev The Rat]

This Rams qb is actually ok

How can a team get to 8-2 if their D is no good and their schedule is the hardest in history? What a transparently silly thing to say.

You played the Cardinals (4-7), the Chargers (5-5), the Colts (4-6-1), the Bucs (5-6), the Raiders (3-7), the Jaguars (4-7) and the Chargers (5-5) again in your first ten games. You also played three opponents with winning records.

You're playing the 3-7 LA Rams right now. You have two games against the Broncos (3-8), another against the Raiders (3-7) and the Texans (1-9) to go.

In total, 12 games against opponents who do not have winning records. Your schedule is the absolute definition of cupcake.

Last year's stats don't matter, you're not playing last year's teams.

I didn’t say the d was no good I’m saying top 5 puts it amongst the very best and it isn’t statistically.

As for the record the Chiefs put this kind of record up every year anyway.

Apart from the decades were they didn't? Yes.

Do you accept that your claim to have faced "the hardest opening 8 games in NFL history" is complete nonsense, given that of your first 8 opponents only the Bills, the 49ers and the Titans had winning records?
