Time To WORRY About Bengals Offense? Will Defense Continue To Thrive? | Enter the Jungle
The Cincinnati Bengals have won back-to-back games for the first time this season, scoring just 31 points in two games. Is it time to be concerned about Joe Burrow and the offense? Is the defense ALL the way back after a slow start?

No on the offense and the defense is just not good they have the pieces but not the coach
I don't worry about the rigged NFL. Sorry.
We need another live show soon
I’ll take ugly wins this team struggles in those type of games but not the last 2 weeks the offense will be fine defense has looked sharp but a lot can be improved on
Bad riming making fun of Dalton
Note that it's actually 41 points scored over the last two weeks, not 31.
Competent Defense means you know the fundamentals tackle!
I played for Ted’s dad in college and he gave some great pregame speeches. Gotta love the Karras intensity.
They need 28 points to win
20 plus carries this Sunday at 4.3 a pop!
Are white bengals super powers will be on this Sunday, the only thing besides a win will be a tie, the Eagles and Bengals matchup can only result that way😂
considering who they played the past 2 weeks, I wouldn't fully say the defense is all the way back. but with the way the defense played in weeks 3-5, they would have got cooked by any offense in the NFL. they are showing signs of progression.
Here’s what I see, I see and offense managed by those that don’t know exactly how to manage an offense. My solution, hire individuals and a play caller who can understand and manage an offense.
Tight ends are not being used
The difference in how these two handle their facial expression game when they're not talking cracks me up. might be the best thing about the show!
Bengals WILL defeat Philadelphia's Eagles IF Bengals score more points. That was easy enough. LoL
I think they need to just make Chase brown the full time running back. The more carries and touches he gets the better he gets. Seriously a running back should easily be able to handle 20 carries
Where is Mike Gesicki in this offense?!
I just wanted them to score off the two turnovers at midfield. You gotta do that. That’s the only thing I wanted different
Defense played well against the Chiefs. That was a complete game aside the Gisecki drop that led to fumble TD and the bogus DPI
Joe Burrow – who looks like a poor man's Eminem – is celebrated as one of the best quarterbacks…for what, actually? I'm wondering the same thing about Justin Herbert, but that's just a side note. So far, I haven't seen anything that makes me particularly afraid of the Bengals. Let's see what happens in the division games, at the moment I see the Steelers and Ravens ahead – as much as I'm sorry to say that in the case of the Ratbirds.
If we beat the eagles I think we’re in business to make a solid run to the playoffs.
LOVE OUR CHARACTER and CHANCES…. However, our Bengals are still in a critical period and can NOT lose one more game because of foolish play calling… and yet I do NOT think Zach Taylor can stop himself from making vanilla offensive play calls when we need banana splits!
How you making fun of Andy today after his car accident 😢 cmon James 😂
Chiefs traded for Hopkins, Bills traded for Cooper. We obviously don’t need a WR but Katie and Duke just refusing to entertain an in-season trade yet another reason how they are failing this team and have to leave. They are both the issue more than Zac and it’s not even close.
If Cleveland dbl tee and chase we lose…. i love we had a special teams play made in rhe kr game.. but the kicking game lacks consistency ans has cost us games. I do agree theres no separation wirh the 3rd wrs and down…we have athletes in yoshi and sizzle but no separation and ability to make contested catches… but burton give you that ability.. i think they nees to get pass the coach speak and let burton make plays down field even if in year 1 thata all he downs..itll make teams respect our offense even more.
Seems like the offense wasn’t showing the whole playbook the past 2 games.
I'm not trying to pick on Andy Dalton we're just going to make a whole segment picking on Andy Dalton. Hahaha. Playmakers. Lol.
Just can't stop ragging on Dalton.
How many pregame speeches Burrow give?
They have to use the tight ends more…
Jermaine Burton…
Yes. Without a top 10 defense Burrow isn't leading this team anywhere of note.
I don't have any confidence in Coach Taylor. The offensive schemes in my mind handicap Joe Burrow and the offense. I'd like to see more scheming that incorporates tight ends. Tight ends are nearly invisible in Cincy. That's obviously just a singular point that I'm expressing. Overall I'll reiterate that the Bengals lack superior leadership. And that starts with Zac Taylor as exhibit A.
