Bengals O Line great in 1st Quarter. Bengals D Line awful in 1st Quarter.

Without looking, I'd guess the Air Coryell Chargers.

might be a different story if Jalen Carter was playing, amongst others

Mercifully they won’t go for it on 4th down.

Not impressed with the D. I can understand Philly's lack of ability to stop Burrow and Chase. But I don't understand how our D, with starters out there are sucking against 2nd stringers. No symmetry. I know, this is what preseason is for, but damn, don't look like high schoolers.

[Joelist]

First time tonight with something resembling pressure.

[Clark W Griswold]

Treys gotta be on the sideline wondering if he should ask for $40 million per season.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Got a bit of pressure there. Stewart & Jenkins the DTs.

[BengalsLUFC]

Murphy has all the speed and length in the world.

It’s inconceivable that he’s this bad at finishing.

[Joelist]

Marginally better. Tackling is better but in just two drives three explosive plays allowed. And I know many starters are missing but it is still unacceptable.

Murphy had some decent push on a play earlier, but that is it.

A lot of starters on defense for the Bengals, while Philly is playing 2nd stringers on offense.

[jj22]

Brightwell. Even with penalty good return.

[reuben.ahmed]

Golden doesn’t get a blank check. We need a superstar DC.

[*PhilHos*]

Well, that was bright. :ninja:

[Nicomo Cosca]

Kris Jenkins has looked the least shitty on defense.

[*pally*]

we may have a new returner in Brightwell

[HarleyDog]

That was refreshing.
