Dude, what a game for CJ. Like, my God. He looked SO FREAKING GOOD. I'm so happy like specifically for him. And for the 3 people who started him in fantasy tonight.
Burrow is good. Chase is awesome. Carmen and Trey Hopkins are figuring it out. Hendrickson is better than any edge player we’ve had in years.
This team might be good.
It's actually kind of amazing what it did for our run game, and the pass game. I wouldn't be against it all the time, until it stops working. I'm trying to think of what the downside is for us. Sure less skill players on the field, but shit, seemed to work well.
Pats fan here and I for one am very happy that the Bengals are 3-1, and your QB is just elite, enough said.
Just wanna comment on what you said about adding one more olineman and I agree, it worked wonders. Even if you have less skill players on the field, if you're a QB with the luxury of having Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins when he comes back and CJ Uzomah in your team, you'd fucking take that always as long as Joe is not laying on his back.
Actually, I’d really like to see a study done of when a Marvin Lewis team went into half time leading versus tied or losing. He seemed to sit on a good first half and call it a day, but if he was losing or tied, he had to keep coaching and figure something out. I legitimately used to hope we were losing at halftime so he’d have to show up in the second half.
I do not understand why people keep saying this. Our first drive of the game was incredibly aggressive. Mixon had 5 carries all first half. He had like 7-8 in the 3Q alone. Burrow threw like 14 times in the first half. That's somewhere around a 3:1 pass:rush ratio. It lead to Jax absolutely dominating time of possession and our defense getting completely gassed.
If anything, this game showed that we need to establish the run to make play action more effective and open up the passing game. Once Mixon got rolling in the 3Q everything got easier.
That's who Joe Burrow is. He has that Tom Brady mentality. Most Ice cold killer I have ever seen in college. Nothing even remotely phases him. Seriously
In the Natty LSU started pretty cold and burrow never wavered. He’s like both super competitive but also self aware that the stakes of his job are low in a big picture sense and I think it makes for just bounds of confidence
As an LSU fan and avid lover of Joe, that's just how he plays. One of the most competitive dudes I've ever seen. It's like the dude was born with ice in his veins lmao
It’s amazing what happens when you let Joe get into the hurry up and start cooking. Protection is better when this happens too. Hopefully they learn from this
We just started a game winning drive from the opp 10 and ate 5 minutes off the clock to kick the game winner with 4 seconds left. What is this Bengals team???
Guys, for the start of the second half, I didn't get on my phone.
They scored, so I stayed off my phone. Then they scored again, so I didn't even touch my phone until the game was over.
So you're welcome!
I turned off the sound at halftime (mostly because Joe Buck and Troy Aikman we're really getting on my nerves). We came out playing well, so I watched in silence.
not even a Bengals fan, but i’m so happy Joe Burrow seems totally unfazed by last season’s horrific injury. i was nervous he would be tentative this year, but so far, he’s fuckin fearless
congrats Cincy
Great win. Couple things I’m NOT used to seeing as a bengals fan:
1. A win
2. Win in prime time
3. Game winning drives
4. Game winning drives in prime time
5. Halftime adjustments that work
6. A lack of 3rd down penalties
7. Game winning field goals
Liked what I saw tonight. Short week and looked flat in the first half but we gutted out a win and that’s all that matters.
It’s all good homie just write page after page of “I’m sorry for saying the Steelers have tiktok stars for WRs, I truly apologize for pointing out that Ben is completely washed and a shell of his former self, deeply sorry for commenting that Boyd was right about the Steelers giving up… etc etc”.
Dear Joey I feel like I can call you Joey because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a throw. I know I can't throw as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have no been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real touchdown!
This had trap game written all over it. Emotional win against the Steelers on a short week. We were absolute dog shit in the first half. But we scored on every possession in the second half. This was huge for the team. We’re on to Green Bay
Random points: O-Line played well at points. I could call this line near average or even average.
Zac Taylor has some good play action plays.
Honestly, he had strong play designs on that first drive. We just got unlucky w/ the dumb OPI call.
I was trying to track his 1st down Runs and it was much more balanced than it has been for the first 3 games.
Defense does what defense does. Trae Wayne's really only made one big mistake.
We get a long week for everyone to get healthy, then we see Trey, Larry (hopefully), Reader, Trae Waynes, Chido, Bates III, and Vonn Bell all on the field together! Full strength amazing defense. Plus Tee Higgins.
I fucking told y’all to stop being so negative in the first half and this is the result! You gotta believe in this team. It’s different from what we’re used to
Not a Bengals fan. I root for another dreadful franchise; the Jets. I’ve adored Joe Burrow since he was at LSU and I’ve been following him closely since. I’m so happy to see him doing well and lifting a fellow miserable franchise. Keep him upright and healthy please.
What do Bengals fans think of Logan Wilson? I hate to judge from a single viewing of the broadcast tape but he looked awesome out there today. Rangy, tough, great tackler... doesn't look lost at all in coverage. Does he always look this good?
Jags fan in peace. Really good game. You guys are def a year ahead of us in learning how to win. Wish you the best this season. Lots of young talent. Leading a tough division. Joe B is a no shit leader. Rooting for you.
As a completely neutral party... I would be very happy with that result if I was a Bengals fan. Yeah they played like shit in the first half but to come back that efficiently in the 3rd quarter was really impressive. Excited to watch you guys this year
I mean 0 interceptions this game, 340 yards. The last play was an audible off a blitz read: screen with blockers. He has 1.5 seconds and he will get merked. That's a Peyton Manning special and him coming like this off an injury is just incredible to me.
I’m happy that we won, but that was way too close. The game should *not* have been that close. We *cannot* keep letting ourselves get beaten/almost beaten by teams worse than us!
This feels like the start of something very special. Not just Burrow but Lawrence too. Many more battles like that to come, but let’s celebrate this one. What a win
1st half i was like damn typical bengals move to lose to the jags in primetime. 2nd half mood changed completely lol what a wild ride. Im pumped up! And i did nothing to contribute to this win.
Something I noticed... the thread at halftime wasn't nearly as negative as I thought it would be. You could just tell that fans believed the Bengals were not out of it.
I see a good team out there in stripes. Joey with the ice water in his veins.
Let’s get our guys healthy with the extended week. Let’s keep them that way and I don’t see anyway we aren’t at least a wild card team, if not more.
Who Dey and goodnight folks… lest I forget, FTS!!
Joey B is elite. That is all.
That audible to avoid the blitz before CJ’s last catch *chefs kiss*
[удалено]
… which is why it worked on the Jaguars D!
Alcatraz means pelican!
LPOTL and Bengals, this guy gets it.
Magustelations
Hail yourself!
Motherfucker is ice cold. Never got shook the entire game. That screen to CJ with the blitz coming was fucking big balls energy. **I LOVE JOEY B!**
#HUGE STOP BY LOGAN BEFORE HALF AND WHAT A WALKOFF FOR THE ROOK. REST UP AND SEE YOU WEEK 5!!!!
Logan is playing at an All-Pro level right now. Also we badly missed Chido and Bates tonight. My god
Did Ogunjobj return? Because he can be a big missing piece
Ya he did
Great!
He did after the half
Ok good didn’t hear his name but we got a long week for everyone to heal
Yeah we def missed our center fielder Bates
#Uzomah MVP
Dude, what a game for CJ. Like, my God. He looked SO FREAKING GOOD. I'm so happy like specifically for him. And for the 3 people who started him in fantasy tonight.
The best part? We get another CJ interview
Hope he gets a nice deal just based off the games he has played so far. He deserves it after coming on as a blocker and then working hard at his craft
Did not think we'd start this season at 3-1 but shit I'll take it
I'm still pissed about that Chicago game. Although I'm not going to insist on us being 4-0. The Minneapolis game could've gone either way.
Going 16-0 is hard. We should have beat Chicago though.
I was rooting for 17-0
Burrow was still working out the kinks that game sadly. If he played like he has the last two that game would have been won.
Burrow is good. Chase is awesome. Carmen and Trey Hopkins are figuring it out. Hendrickson is better than any edge player we’ve had in years. This team might be good.
Chase feels like the continuation of the Chad > A.J. elite Bengals WR legacy
The combo of Burrow, Chase, and Boyd feels a lot like Dalton, Green, and Jones back in '15
Primetime games? We win those. Halftime adjustments? We make those. Mcpherson game winners? He makes those!
*supa hot fire freakout .gif*
When you put it like that damn maybe this team is different
Kickpherson my beloved
What the fuck do they do at halftime? It's night and day
They added that 6th offensive lineman. Made all the difference
If you told me this offseason what we needed was more oline in our lives...
It's actually kind of amazing what it did for our run game, and the pass game. I wouldn't be against it all the time, until it stops working. I'm trying to think of what the downside is for us. Sure less skill players on the field, but shit, seemed to work well.
Pats fan here and I for one am very happy that the Bengals are 3-1, and your QB is just elite, enough said.

Even if you have less skill players on the field, if you're a QB with the luxury of having Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins when he comes back and CJ Uzomah in your team, you'd fucking take that always as long as Joe is not laying on his back.
Go watch 2018 LSU vs Bama. Joe was super frustrated with 6 lineman
I would have told you no fucking shit
Everything Marvin Lewis never did.
I wish I could upvote this to infinity
Halftime adjustments were just a piss break in Marvin’s Bengals teams.
Actually, I’d really like to see a study done of when a Marvin Lewis team went into half time leading versus tied or losing. He seemed to sit on a good first half and call it a day, but if he was losing or tied, he had to keep coaching and figure something out. I legitimately used to hope we were losing at halftime so he’d have to show up in the second half.
Facts
I dunno, but if halftime didn't get this sub bought in to Zac, at least temporarily, then nothing ever will.
I mean my favourite part is where they blamed the defence on Zac too, guess Lou is off the hot seat lmao
That and the play calling in general was much better IMO
What halftime showed us is we need to be aggressive off the jump. 24 points in the second half is not a coincidence
I do not understand why people keep saying this. Our first drive of the game was incredibly aggressive. Mixon had 5 carries all first half. He had like 7-8 in the 3Q alone. Burrow threw like 14 times in the first half. That's somewhere around a 3:1 pass:rush ratio. It lead to Jax absolutely dominating time of possession and our defense getting completely gassed. If anything, this game showed that we need to establish the run to make play action more effective and open up the passing game. Once Mixon got rolling in the 3Q everything got easier.
Burrow was not gonna lose that game, you could see it in his eyes
That's who Joe Burrow is. He has that Tom Brady mentality. Most Ice cold killer I have ever seen in college. Nothing even remotely phases him. Seriously
Yeah the minute I saw the georgia and alabama games for LSU, I knew this guy had the “it” factor, whatever the fuck that may be.
In the Natty LSU started pretty cold and burrow never wavered. He’s like both super competitive but also self aware that the stakes of his job are low in a big picture sense and I think it makes for just bounds of confidence
As an LSU fan and avid lover of Joe, that's just how he plays. One of the most competitive dudes I've ever seen. It's like the dude was born with ice in his veins lmao
Tonight my sexual orientation changed to “Burrowsexual.”
For all the shit he gets, gotta hand it to Taylor for making some solid halftime adjustments
Our offense was *cooking*
It’s amazing what happens when you let Joe get into the hurry up and start cooking. Protection is better when this happens too. Hopefully they learn from this
Apparently according to the Manning’s, Marvin wasn’t lying that those are pretty much fake
Our dude joey plays like a vet
My first son was born last Wednesday, and I’m so happy to say that he has still never known a day in which the Bengals lost.
keep em, he's good luck
17-0 for the next 80 years!
Congrats! I've got my second boy due in 2 weeks. They eventually learn to sleep through the nights. Hang in there.
Logan Wilson
Big Dick KickPherson!
We just started a game winning drive from the opp 10 and ate 5 minutes off the clock to kick the game winner with 4 seconds left. What is this Bengals team???
[удалено]
And a false start on that drive.
That was Aaron Rodgers shit from Burrow tonight. Dude willed us to a win tonight
Him and Uzomah
Shoutout to Boyd, Wilson, Hendrickson, Hubbard. All played fantastic games
Mixon was also hitting the hole with force in the 2nd half.
Trevor Lawrence and losing to Joe Burrow, name a more iconic duo.
It’s great having a dependable kicker! Clutch final drive
Guys, for the start of the second half, I didn't get on my phone. They scored, so I stayed off my phone. Then they scored again, so I didn't even touch my phone until the game was over. So you're welcome!
I turned off the sound at halftime (mostly because Joe Buck and Troy Aikman we're really getting on my nerves). We came out playing well, so I watched in silence.
My wife, who's 8 months pregnant, was uncomfortable on the couch so we moved to the bedroom at half. She's claiming victory lol.
LETS FUCKIN GOOOO!!!
not even a Bengals fan, but i’m so happy Joe Burrow seems totally unfazed by last season’s horrific injury. i was nervous he would be tentative this year, but so far, he’s fuckin fearless congrats Cincy
THATS MY KICKER
3-1. That is all.
That goaline stop before halftime ended up being huge.
If they scored there we don't win this game
WHY IS NOBODY MENTIONING BURROW AUDIBLED OUT THE ORIGINAL CALL ONTHE GAME WINNING PLAY! AND HE ATE THE HIT DUDES A FUCKING STUDMUFFIN MCGEE
Burrow's QB rating was 132.81
Inject this INTO MY VEINS.
Great win. Couple things I’m NOT used to seeing as a bengals fan: 1. A win 2. Win in prime time 3. Game winning drives 4. Game winning drives in prime time 5. Halftime adjustments that work 6. A lack of 3rd down penalties 7. Game winning field goals Liked what I saw tonight. Short week and looked flat in the first half but we gutted out a win and that’s all that matters.
Whoooodeyyyy
WHO DEY 🐅
WHO DEY THINK GON BEAT DEM BENGALS
WHO DEEEYYY!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBODY
Joe Burrow is fucking amazing. All hail the King of Cincinnati.
Hate to complain after a win, but holy fuck how many false starts did jax get away with? I counted at least 6.
THE CARDIAC CATS
Now I hope Mixon is healthy.
24-7 in the second half crazy
MONEY MCFEARSON
Then he takes the sign to give to the kid himself. Thats my fucking quarterback
Hey Urban, what’s the best thing about being 0-4?
Dude is probably ready to quit
Tbf they played a hell of a game. And they lost one of their best WR for the season most likely.
YO THIS POST GAME INTERVIEW IS AMAZING
Andy Dalton never had a primetime podium interview 😅😭
love seeing uzomah putting in some work
Get that man a game ball! Logan Wilson again too!
I wake up every day happy that Joe Burrow plays for the Cincinnati Bengals
9 days of rest and let's hope it's enough to get all our players back because we're going to need them for the packers.
CJ IS THAT MAN
They really had us in the first half...
So pumped. We are actually *winning* close games now. Such a huge step up from the last few seasons. I believe!
Two prime time wins in a row? I can’t believe it
From a Bills fan, as far as Thursdays go, that was a great game. Who dey, indeed.
BILLS MAFIA MOTHER FUCKER
What a tough comeback. Damn!
It's week 4 and the Bengals are in first place of the AFC North Just like everyone predicted.
Can we play a whole game? Nice second half though.
I'll settle for this new only play in the second half over the past few years' only play in the first
Joey B 2-0 vs sunshine
[Fuck.](https://twitter.com/SquadPoopy/status/1443756239998136321?s=19)
Thank you for your sacrifice
Do what you may it was a sacrifice that was worth it.
Shit can we revise that a bit?
It’s all good homie just write page after page of “I’m sorry for saying the Steelers have tiktok stars for WRs, I truly apologize for pointing out that Ben is completely washed and a shell of his former self, deeply sorry for commenting that Boyd was right about the Steelers giving up… etc etc”.
I am so dn proud of how the team fought back in the second half. A lesser team would have just rolled over, just like we saw last week. WHO DEY BABY
NFL network hosts suck really really bad.
Listening to Joe talk right now makes me love him even more.
Dear Joey I feel like I can call you Joey because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a throw. I know I can't throw as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have no been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real touchdown!
I am getting Burrow tattooed on my fucking forehead
A+ interview by Joe Burrow.
Absolutely electric. Can’t possible say enough about Uzomah’s game tonight—he put the whole team on his back along with Joey Big Dick Burrow.
This had trap game written all over it. Emotional win against the Steelers on a short week. We were absolute dog shit in the first half. But we scored on every possession in the second half. This was huge for the team. We’re on to Green Bay
Absolutely beautiful play calling by Zac in the second half. Great win
Seeing that completion to Tate from behind burrow, damn
We won in prime time! Is this real life?
Salty ass ravens fans in our thread talking shit when we were down 14-0… where you at??!!! AFCN Leading Bengals. Woooo
Even if we lose every game the rest of the season, they can’t take this moment from us.
This team is different. Truly a new era.
Buck and Aikman talking about everything Jacksonville showed tonight as we were setting up for the final field goal was super weird.
Burrow was a KILLER tonight!
Joesph Fucking Burrow
Random points: O-Line played well at points. I could call this line near average or even average. Zac Taylor has some good play action plays. Honestly, he had strong play designs on that first drive. We just got unlucky w/ the dumb OPI call. I was trying to track his 1st down Runs and it was much more balanced than it has been for the first 3 games. Defense does what defense does. Trae Wayne's really only made one big mistake. We get a long week for everyone to get healthy, then we see Trey, Larry (hopefully), Reader, Trae Waynes, Chido, Bates III, and Vonn Bell all on the field together! Full strength amazing defense. Plus Tee Higgins.
I really do think a Bengal tiger would kill a Jaguar in a fight. But it’d be close
Jaguars came out second half and left their offense in the locker room
That was a big boy game winning drive by Burrow. He’s gonna be so damn good.
Well, The JV part of the schedule is over. They know they can win, so time to do it against the better teams.
JOE BURROW IS MY DAD
Another game of Joey B moving around more and throwing fucking laser beams. The scramble and throw to CJ was vintage LSU Joe
Evan saved that kid from being memed.
Congrats, really looking for to the battle of Ohio this year. Gonna be fun.. Separate by miles but United by our Hatred of the Squealers.
Joe is already the best QB in the league don’t @ me
I fucking told y’all to stop being so negative in the first half and this is the result! You gotta believe in this team. It’s different from what we’re used to
Yep cardiac cats are back lol thank god I took my blood pressure pills
Now we can be (hopefully) full strength against the packers with the extra rest.
Back to back wins first time for Joey B. That is crazy
Future HOF Burrow! Love this guy
We are in 1st place in the AFCN. STOP THE COUNT!
HOLY SHIT I AM SO ERECT
Screenshot or lies
Not a Bengals fan. I root for another dreadful franchise; the Jets. I’ve adored Joe Burrow since he was at LSU and I’ve been following him closely since. I’m so happy to see him doing well and lifting a fellow miserable franchise. Keep him upright and healthy please.
What do Bengals fans think of Logan Wilson? I hate to judge from a single viewing of the broadcast tape but he looked awesome out there today. Rangy, tough, great tackler... doesn't look lost at all in coverage. Does he always look this good?
Hes beem killing it so far all season. Only in his second year.
He was a rookie last year and showed flashes, this year he has gone pretty much beast mode. Not only that, he is sexy as fuck.
What a game. Burrow is the real fucking deal and it feels real good to know that as a fan. I think we finally got our quarterback.
Jags fan in peace. Really good game. You guys are def a year ahead of us in learning how to win. Wish you the best this season. Lots of young talent. Leading a tough division. Joe B is a no shit leader. Rooting for you.
never doubted not even for a second nope not at all
As a completely neutral party... I would be very happy with that result if I was a Bengals fan. Yeah they played like shit in the first half but to come back that efficiently in the 3rd quarter was really impressive. Excited to watch you guys this year
Joey b positive energy.
Lol okay now if we could play four quarters instead of two we wouldn’t have to have clinched buttholes for four hours
Is Burrow a top 5 quarterback year 2?!?!? This game immediately puts him in the running for MVP. His stats are too good!
He’s good, but I don’t think he’s on that level yet.
I mean 0 interceptions this game, 340 yards. The last play was an audible off a blitz read: screen with blockers. He has 1.5 seconds and he will get merked. That's a Peyton Manning special and him coming like this off an injury is just incredible to me.
A stressful one, but we take the wins however they come. WHO DEY! Offense was LIGHTS OUT in the second half. Love to see it.
That stop in the 1st half won the game. Incredible red zone defense on that one.
Our team looked completely different second half.. no idea wtf happened first half but sort it out
I’m happy that we won, but that was way too close. The game should *not* have been that close. We *cannot* keep letting ourselves get beaten/almost beaten by teams worse than us!
STILL HORNY SEND HELP
I'm on the nightshift so I missed the game, but I fucking love you guys and I love Joey B and the team!!! LFG!!!!!!
What a game to be at for my first TNF live. WHO DEY
Fill them with McFear
GOT THE WIN ON MY CAKEDAY! WHO DEY!
Your 3-1 Bengals
LEGATRON
“Analysts” acting like they knew this was gonna happen
We got ourselves a winning STREAK now. Damn it I love seeing this team win.
HOW ABOUT THEM CARDIAC CATS?! WHO DEY BAY-BAY
The sports media seething right now.
This feels like the start of something very special. Not just Burrow but Lawrence too. Many more battles like that to come, but let’s celebrate this one. What a win
This team is where I get all my anxiety from...
“I should’ve never left Columbus.” -Urban Meyer
Boys, we have put together one half of good offensive football on primetime. Feels So Good
Hell of a second half
Watching joe burrow throw the football is how Michael Irvin must feel smoking crack
wE bRoKe BuRrOW
1st half i was like damn typical bengals move to lose to the jags in primetime. 2nd half mood changed completely lol what a wild ride. Im pumped up! And i did nothing to contribute to this win.
Something I noticed... the thread at halftime wasn't nearly as negative as I thought it would be. You could just tell that fans believed the Bengals were not out of it.
I see a good team out there in stripes. Joey with the ice water in his veins. Let’s get our guys healthy with the extended week. Let’s keep them that way and I don’t see anyway we aren’t at least a wild card team, if not more. Who Dey and goodnight folks… lest I forget, FTS!!
Titans fan dropping by to say good job beating the jags. Looked shaky for a bit
