The thing about Tigers is that they never attack if you see them coming. Last year they caught us off guard a couple times, but we know not to turn our backs on these little cats now. So excited to see what this secondary does against that receiving corps. This should be a great game. [Reply]

mahomes is going to decorate his house after the game
"Refs! Your team cheats! We were missing the 7th guy off the bench! REFS!!!"
Remember when your clown fanbase threatened to kill that poor ref after one of Calipari's patented chokejobs? :-)
He's just here to "break us in half" as their board cheers him on, after spending all week talking about how highly civilized they all are compared to us. [Reply]

I could break you all into quarters if that would make you feel better. [Reply]
CIN scores 26 pts/gm and give up 21 pts/gm. KC scores 29.5 pts/gm and gives up 22 pts/gm.
But these numbers for CIN are out of context, as the best defense CIN played was TEN's, which only gives up 19 points/gm (CIN scored 20). And the best offense that the Bengals defense has played was BAL (25.0pts/gm), who are also the only offense CIN has played that's ranked in the top-10 in scoring/gm.
They only allowed the Ravens to score 19 points, but the Bengals lost that game, scoring just 17. And if you've watched the Ravens defense this season, their corners are just not that good.
Further, the Bengals allowed an Andy Dalton-led NO offense to score 26 points, or nearly a TD above their average. And superficially it looks like CIN had all their key defensive players healthy for that game, except Reader. How do you allow Andy Dalton to score 26 points on you?
In all, it looks like the CIN defense has only played three teams that are ranked in the top-10 in scoring/gm, with the rest of their opponents ranked below 14th or so. And that defense just a couple weeks ago allowed the 28th ranked offense (PIT) to score 30 on them. With a rookie QB and no OL.
QBs the Bengals defense has played in 2022:
PIT - Tru-Biscuit (L)
DAL - C. Rush (L)
NYJ - Flacco (W)
MIA - Bridgewater (W)
BAL - Lamar (L)
NOR - A. Dalton (W)
ATL - Mariota (W)
CLE - Brissett (L)
CAR - Mayfield (W)
PIT - Pickett (W)
TEN - Tannehill (W)
Before the season began, CIN was supposed to be playing one of the most difficult schedules in 2022, but of course, that turned out not to be the case. That's definitely not much of a 'Murderer's Row.'
So, basically, the best QB CIN has had to play was Lamar Jackson. The 2nd-best QB they played was . . . a pick 'em between Brissett and Tannehill? And they lost to Brissett.
