Yeah Nick changes his view to fit what he wants 😂 hates on Philly but now it's a good win to beat them 😂
I’m a huge Bengals fan, but I just can’t see them over taking the Ravens. The game they played this year was a classic, and they were in position to win, but couldn’t seal it. I have hope, but I think this is the Ravens year. And also, F the Steelers 😂
do you listen to what you say before you post the video? Dude you be talking in circles 😂😂 you try to prove your point, then later down the line prove why your point is wrong. It’s like you start arguments with yourself 😂😂😂😂😂
If you want your team to be the best it can be in the playoffs, you don't want to be blowing teams off the field. That doesn't make you better. Coaches actually prefer the atmosphere of a struggling team than a "super team" because it's hard to convince a player he has to change something when he's getting the results he wants doing it his way. You want your body and mind callused by the time the playoffs start and breezing through a schedule isn't conducive to that.
Look at the Patriots that won all games but one. It was a pretty easy year till that last game that mattered more than the rest and they weren't battle tested. They were used to dominating, not getting into a fistfight. The Giants were in fistfights all year and had to scrap for every inch to get to the Super Bowl.
Strength of schedule is pretty nonsense because in the nfl its a league built for parity and the schedules reflect this. There isnt much variance between the team with the "toughest strength of schedule" and the team with the weakest.
How does nick move the goalposts on the eagles after they win on sunday?
If the bengals win, its a solid win. If the eagles win, we wont count it
Julian love your work I love when nick hates in the eagles because when he does eagles seem to go farther in the playoffs even to the superbowl when he favors the eagles the do bad it’s a good thing for him to hate
Bro stop talking so much. We only come here when FTF uploads late. Just let the video play and watch ur views n engagement go up.
You sound like Nick trying to justify picking burrow and Allen over Lamar I fear you don’t respect Lamar enough bro
Its simple. Nick fumbles over his words because he wants to be "Mr. Consistency". He props up Bengals because it makes his Chiefs look even better especially during a down year by his beloved QB stat wise. He still has to piss on the Eagles either way. He gives grace to teams but pisses on the Eagles no matter what (I guess he is Mr Consistency after all). He plays those word games only to prop up the team(s) and QB(s) he likes. That is all.
Bro I’m with you on this , it’s way more than just the outcome of the games that wins me over . I think the bengals is a top 5 team no doubt
Bro Lamar is 7-1 against Burrow and has 3MVPs Lamar is better than Burrow and its not even close
Avid Bengals fan here. I really enjoy your videos. You do a great job on analyzing possibilities and taking into account the current progress of a team.
Burrow has been fire this year. The team recognizes it and they are all trying to get to his level. This is what makes him a top 5 quarterback.
I believe the Bengals will make the playoffs as long as Burrow is healthy. The defense has had a few good games to hone in on problems and begin to correct them. The offense has to improve on third down. It has to happen. The other thing is Money Mac. No one is saying this, but Mac is struggling big time. He was drafted for one, extended for two, and yet this year he has missed quite a few kicks that he didn’t the last two years. I worry now in a game time decision on Money Mac, where I didn’t before. The AFC North is the toughest division in the NFL. The Steelers are scary with their defense, and now you have Wilson throwing dimes. The Ravens are absolutely scary with Henry and Lamar. Lamar is on pace for another MVP, and you know he wants that Super Bowl.
Who wins late in the season, and the playoffs? It’s Joe Burrow! The guy wins in big games. If the Bengals make the playoffs, even as a wild card, no one wants to play Burrow.
All in all it is up in the air. I do however believe the Bengals beat Philly. They will stop Barkley, and hold Hurts and maybe even get a pick or two. Watch out for Hendrickson because he is an absolute force this year. Burrow isn’t happy, which spells danger because the guy is like Jordan. You talk smack or he makes a bad play? He is gonna come back and make you forget it. He is hungry, and he is at home. Chase is the top receiver in yards. Higgins is dynamite too. Chase Brown hits the hole quick! I won’t be surprised to watch Cincy have their most impressive win of the season on Sunday. Add in the fact that this game was flexed. You know that pisses the Bengals off. They love the spotlight.
0:00 – 9:28 following this logic, the Raiders must be tied for the best team in the NFL. And if we take the Transitive Property, the Patriots are one of the best teams because they beat the Bengals… Please educate yourself on MMA math and how that doesn’t work as well as the way that you think it does … Cincinnati always game plans and builds their teams to beat the Chiefs. The Chiefs always build their teams to beat the Ravens. And they game plan , practice, etc accordingly off season and in season … whereas the Ravens build their team to beat as many teams as possible and not just one or two particular teams. The correct answer is considering how the Bengals are playing, the Bengals playing the Ravens and Chiefs well just meant that they put/focused everything they got into preparing/building the team, game plans, etc to beat specifically those two teams so much so that they lost to Patriots/etc … it highlights that they they prepare all off season and during the season for those two teams so much so that they lose and or nearly lose to the Patriots/Giants/Browns/etc … by your logic the Patriots/Giants/Browns must be top contenders since they played so well against the Bengals …
“That’s not how games work”
What???? So if I beat you, you’re still better than me??? What kind of take is this?? You are reaching my guy.
As a ravens fan the bengals are better than their record shows. Im never over confident when burrow is standing on the other side because i know what he's capable of and we saw it on display in our game. They win if the place holder doesn't fuck the catch up. I dont see any reason why they cant go on a run. I believe we win the division but cincy can make things interesting down the stretch. My ravens always good for 1 or 2 goofy ass losses every year. The raiders was 1. We due for one more against a team we should absolutely domolish
Too much yap
Nick can’t ever say anything positive about the Eagles. The crazy thing is that he will use arguments to justify a team like the bangles. Wow going out of his way to ignore those same things if they apply to the Eagles. Like talking about the Patriots game and not just being a weird fluky game yet eagle or a dropped past away from being five and one. The Eagles numbers are significantly better than the bangles when you break it down yet when that was brought to his attention, he argued that the numbers don’t tell the full story. Yet we all know if it was the other way around he would use the numbers to support his opinion.
I’ve also been on both the playing side and the coaching side of the talks like “these guys are bad so there be no excuses and no mistakes. This week WILL BE you all being beyond focused.” They cannot and they WILL NOT compete with us. So focus all week!!!”
FYI, Bengals suck.
Yes, it is soo soo much more than the final score. This is why you and I talk soo much about the nuances of the game.
And yea, you cant honestly say that because KC is undefeated that they are a juggernaut and no one can beat them. They are definitely not like what their record shows. The Ravens look wayy better than KC and week 1 they are a different team
They are a average team that put stats up against bad Defensive. The best team they Beat is the Giants and media nerds pump them up.
You are doing a GREAT job with your exposition.
Eagles have better wins. They both played the Giants and Browns…Eagles look better and Jalen's performance was better than Burrow against those too. Defense favors Philly. And offensively eagles are better.
Their 3 wins have come against horrible teams. There's all of this faith, the Eagles manage to keep themselves a float after not having their 2 best receivers and their HOF RT for a few games, and they're constantly downplayed and doubted. Make it make sense.🙄
lol dude hates nick so much he really try to discredit any take from nick bro you are a weirdo 😂💯
theyll end up finishing 10-7 fighting the steelers for a playoff spot
I just love that the chiefs are our rival. And the guy who's so high on them is still like The bengals are good LO. L.
I agree with what you’ve said. However I think you are mistaken as to why people frame it as black and white win losses. It’s about fair treatment. Using Nick as an example: For some Qbs, he takes all those little factors like how they lose or won into consideration. While for other Qbs and teams, he does not bother to look at the details and would rather use a rudimentary logic to judge them harshly. Prior to the 23’ season, Nick said the ravens wouldn’t make the playoffs before the season started. And prior to this season he had Caleb Williams ranked higher than Lamar, who just came off a 2nd mvp season. In short, many ppl like Nick think in a detail-oriented manner when it comes to ppl they like for whatever reason. But when it comes to rivals or other ppl that they don’t like, they use basic wins and losses to judge them. I’m no different. I think the bengals record says they suck, so I say they suck. Just for the simple reason that I’m a raven fan and it’s only fair considering that the same thing would ESPECIALLY be done to use were we in their situation.
Both QB’s in this Game are better than Choke Purdy
Damn all the hate there both good teams its gonna be a good game. So hostil sheesh
Nick is one of the biggest eagles haters in sports. It’s like a Philly girl broke his heart or something
Cincy hometown fan here….you sound logical. You should review this same topic on “The Facility – Bengals vs Eagles” from yesterday. Those guys are bias AND nuts‼️🤣😂🤣
