No, because people are going to look back at two games last
year and say something very similar, you know. And so these
these reactions always happen when you lose a game, it's
a long season. That's what we told our players, which can
take ownership in his losses
and continue to get better.
You know, we know that we have a good football team.
We shot ourselves in the foot a little bit early on here in two
games long season, get to go Man in our guys are going to
continue to improve and play better and get some ones.
Spoken. Like a man who received a contract extension in
the offseason. You don't seem all that troubled by the fact that
the Bengals have crapped the bed. The first two weeks,
I mean, they I can't remember if they won their second game last
year, but I
definitely remember they won their first game last year. And
over time, I have a feeling. They did start to a no but
I would have to confirm that I'm violating my advice to miles to
just say it with authority and act like you're right. But
yeah,
look I think of something that Chris Simms and I talked
Every year, and this was something that he shared with me.
When he started with his five years ago, the idea that
as you start piling up losses,
to start a season.
You, you develop a greater sense of urgency and concern
and it becomes panic. And, you know, the Bengals are now Owen
to, they're going to be pressing to get that third win.
And they didn't seem to learn anything from what went wrong
week. 1
against the Steelers that offensive line
is not good. It's not good enough. Maybe they'll be better.
And, you know, they changed out for of the starters
which tells you how bad it was last year.
But so far, it's not keeping Joe burrow from getting hit
from getting sacked and it's keeping the team from scoring
points.
Well, you know, Mike? I don't think it's just the offensive
line at this point, you know, MDS pointed this out in a post
them PFT this morning.
Joe Borough right now is on Pace to get sacked,
a Preposterous 111 times this season, the sit that record is
17 Six and that was on David Carr
back with the expansion Houston Texans and 02 when I was like
in fifth grade but you look when you're talking about
the Bangles and Burrell right now it's like
a systemic problem. It's not just oh the offensive line
doesn't do XYZ, it's Joe Borough, sometimes holds on to
the ball too long. It's sometimes the protection isn't
quite right at the snap, you know. So
they've got a lot of things that they've got to really correct.
And look at and frankly
I think that they should just go to more of a quick passing game
and think of it more as like you've got to speed up that
clock, and Joe Burrows, head. Let's get the ball out of his
hands quickly. We've got Jamar Chase, we've got T, Higgins,
we've got Tyler Boyd, we've got Joe Mixon, we've got weapons,
just speed the darn thing up, so you prevent him from getting
hit so much because he's not going to last the whole season.
If he keeps getting hit like this, you can't take 13 sacks
in the first two.
For the season. And then expect that everything is just going
to be fine, going forward, it's not it's not fine. Now, you're
owing to something's got to change
by the way. They followed their week one win last year over
the Vikings with a loss at Chicago. They were three in one, they
lost two in a row twice last year, they lost to the Jets in
the put, my quite in the Hall of Fame
game, then lost to Cleveland 4116, then they lost to
the charters and the
49ers back-to-back weeks and overtime loss at home to
the 49ers. So they have lost two in a row before. But
you start owing to its the first time since 1999,
defending AFC Champion, started
0 and 2. And that was the Bubby brister year for the Denver
Broncos after John Elway retired after two straight
championships in Denver. So not good company to be in because
it ain't Bubby brister playing quarterback, it's Joe Burrow

hit, subscribe for the latest news and Analysis from pro
