Cincy Bengals look terrible

[Skooby]

Cincy has no TD's at all against sketchy competition, I'm no longer calling that a sure Bills loss.

Dude, Thad Lewis almost beat them (and their team really isn't much different) EJ almost beat them recently, this has NEVER been a sure loss.

Now Oakland, KC, NE, TB, and Atl I would understand

[k-oneputt]

It's the NFL, there are no sure losses or wins.
I've been saying it for years, Dalton sucks. I'd rather have Tyrod.

A Bengals fan sent me a video breakdown of their game against the Ravens and it's pretty clear that Dalton is awful (second half of the video). Found it a pretty interesting one, for someone like me who doesn't know a lot of the X's and O's of football:

Watched them last night and they are just really bad. The Bengals OL is bad, Dalton makes poor throws or poor reads. Their defense, IMO also gave up on the Watson TD run. Almost like each defender just expected someone else to get him.

Yeah? So? The Seahawks, Cardinals and Giants also looked terrible. The season has just started. How many times do people have to tell you not to draw conclusions. You don't think Marvin Lewis can right the ship?

Moreover you must have missed the 500 articles calling the Ravens the best defense in 2017. If you did, then here:

The 3 teams above them played the 3 weakest teams in the NFL.

You continue to prove you know nothing about football.

Eh, the Bengals do look terrible.

It's early, but this is a team that won 6 games last year and right now look worse. Why should we assume that they'll right the ship?

Hell, they pulled a Greg Roman/Turk Schonert & just fired their OC

They're not good

Yeah I just saw that. Not a good sign if you're firing coaches after 2 games.

[Kenny]

Too early to tell. But that OL looked terrible. Dalton can't throw outside of the pocket, and there's no running game.

[Joe Fo Sho]

The Bengals definitely look terrible so far this year, but we went on a 4-0 run after we fired Roman.

Dalton has always been over rated. Without a great team around him he's pig poop!

I never said they didn't.

[YardRat]

I would bet the Bengals are looking at the Browns and Bills and thinking 'win'. I hope they at least beat Cleveland, I do not want to go into their house if they are sitting on 0-4 fresh off of a loss to their intra-state rival.

Doesn't everybody?

What? do you mean that having the longest playoff drought in sports makes us the laughing stock of the league?

I don't think Dalton's ever had a "great team around him" yet he's been able to lead the Bengals to 5 winning seasons out of his 6 playing. Sure having AJ Green is nice, but other than Eifert in 2015, they've never really had another go to receiver. Their run game has finished once in the top 10 in those 6 years. Also their defense has been towards the bottom more than the top since 2011. Dalton may not be an elite top tier QB, but he is a 2nd tier QB that can get your team to the playoffs.
No doubt Dalton has struggled this season, but their defense can't get off the field and their top RB has 50 yds. thru 2 games. The Bengals have far more problems than just bad QB play. The Bills certainly can't overlook them in week 5.

[Mr. Pink]

Dalton is a good regular season QB and then "pig poop" as Bluto exclaimed once the playoffs start.
