Surprisingly, the defense was rather competent against the Ravens yesterday. The Bengals held the Ravens to 332 yards and did a great job limiting Lamar Jackson, who had 2 carries for 3 yards, 247 short of my prediction. Carlos Dunlap did get a killer unnecessary roughness penalty, though on review it was one of those penalties that only Bengals seem to get. Everyone else looked...competent, which was shocking.
Offense was a completely different story. Everyone looked overwhelmed, and Burrow was clearly uncomfortable and unable to pull the trigger on throws. Hopefully that's a blip and not a trend, it would be sad if the Bengals beat all the good out of him already. Michael Thomas (not that Michael Thomas) did have perhaps the worst play, turning the ball over for a touchdown. But the game was already pretty much over then, and he was only out there because the real winner begged his way off the field.
Yes, A.J. Green wins again. It's one thing to be old and busted like he is. It's another to be old and busted and think you still deserve the prima donna treatment. The stat line of 0 catches for 0 yards on 1 target isn't going to get it done. And on that 1 target he ws made a laughingstock in the league as he stood flat footed watching the ball go ovewr his head for a pick, then casually jogged down the field not even in the direction of the guy with the ball. Then he sat on the bench and cried about being traded, because I'm sure teams are watching that and wanting to sign up.
So A.J. Green is your winner, again. Next up are the Colts. Have to think the defense gets in on this, but Bobby Hart is still empty handed, which you know is going to change.
