00:00And it was also gross in Cincinnati, too.
00:03They gave a very cheap early touchdown to Jacksonville.
00:07And you are not going to win, Bengals, if Joe Burrow has to throw the ball 54 times.
00:13Throwing the ball 50 or more times, Craig, is a giant red flag for me with teams.
00:18If you can't run the ball, if you can't establish dominance offensively in the trenches,
00:26asking Joe Burrow to throw 54 times is a recipe to disaster.
00:30Congratulations.
00:30You won all the 437 total yards to 323 yards per play were great.
00:37But at the end of the day, yeah, Jacksonville got enough stops, right, to make it so they didn't have
00:44to worry.
00:45Big win for Jacksonville on the road.
00:48But Cincinnati, I mean, wins over Tampa Bay and Houston, two teams that are a combined 0-8.
00:55All of a sudden, I'm scratching my head with the Bengals here.
01:00Yeah, Cincinnati also lost Chase and Higgins in that game, although Higgins played the majority of the game and had
01:05a huge game.
01:06But it looks like he's not going to play this week.
01:09Yeah, look, we do this with the Bengals every year, Joe.
01:12Like, they're, oh, this is the year.
01:13They're going to be good.
01:15They're going to be better.
01:16Well, Burrow's usually out at this time, though.
01:18Right.
01:18That's true, too.
01:19They usually have John Browning or Flacco playing.
01:23You know what?
01:24The Bengals are going to be better.
01:26And they are going to be good.
01:27They're just not great.
01:28Like, that's it.
01:29You know, it's not a big deal.
01:30Like, they're okay.
01:32They're okay.
01:33They're not a, you know, they're a 9-10 win team.
01:36They're going to play the last week of the season and play somebody and win and make the playoffs.
01:40And that's it.
01:41I mean, Jacksonville's good, Joe.
01:42Like, that's the conclusion we could come to at this point.
01:44The Jaguars are good.
01:46Like, that's one of the, you know, not Kansas City's and maybe not Buffalo's, but right below.
01:53Like, they're in the mix.
01:55They're going to win a lot of games and be in the mix this season.
01:58They're very well coached.
01:59This guy, Cohen, is obviously good.
02:00Because even when Lawrence doesn't do well, they still seem to win somehow.
02:04So, yeah, you've got to give credit to the Jaguars, 100%.
02:07Because Cincinnati, even not being fantastic, were favorites in that game.
02:12So, that was, you know, technically an upset.
02:14And also, the other thing, for whatever reason, whenever Chase doesn't play, it doesn't really matter.
02:19The Bengals just don't win.
02:20Like, Chase is like, you know, I still think the most valuable receiver to his team in the NFL is
02:26Nico Collins.
02:27I think when Nico Collins plays, Houston scores.
02:29Always.
02:30Nico Collins plays.
02:31Stroud is good.
02:32But I think Chase is another one of those guys that when he is out or not playing or not
02:37100%, the Bengals usually struggle.
02:40Because they never really run the ball that well.
