After he was spotted flexing his wrist throughout the Bengals' upset defeat last Sunday, Joe Burrow maintained Wednesday that his wrist felt great, and it was "absolutely not" affecting his throwing.

    lol I love all the people who want to downvote every time instead of blocking you or the sub.

    I didn’t see any misses, really. He wasn’t eager to rip it down the field and outside the numbers, but he only really had Chase and it isn’t like he missed any particularly tempting windows to him.

      As a Bengals fan, this is how he starts out every year. Zac Taylor would be wise to have the starters play a full quarter each preseason game like the chiefs instead of one measly drive.

        I think their offense looked super bland. He wasn’t awesome but they didn’t really make any effort to counter anything we did, barely ran the ball when they were having success and we were daring them to, and just didn’t give him any opportunity to create much.

        I was watching all-22 for our side, not yours, but it felt like Taylor just wanted his guys to win their routes outright, and they didn’t.

          Quite frankly I think a lot of us believe Taylor is carried by the players. Not the worst coach but not the best by a long shot.

          One would think his seat is hot but this is Cincinnati so he’s got another few years just because of Mike Brown’s dumbass. Unless he figures it out and we actually go far again.

          Fair play to you guys though. You looked good. Good luck the rest of the way.

            lol you’d think I’d be happy, and I guess I am, but it’s really just counting the minutes until Maye plays. Jacoby was not willing to throw it even to pretty open guys down the field.

            I definitely think with your full roster you can pose a bigger threat offensively. They can win routes with regularity. I’m with you that you could do better than Taylor, though. The QB makes you a destination.
