The Cincinnati Bengals are in a hole. At this point, every game the rest of the season is must-win. That certainly applies this week with the possibility of turning Week 10's Thursday Night game in Baltimore into an opportunity to get to .500. The Las Vegas Raiders have been a bad football team this year, but the Bengals still need to take care of …

The Las Vegas Raiders bring Marvin Lewis back to Cincinnati in an NFL coaching capacity for the first time since he parted ways with the Bengals in 2018, but there's more to this game than a coach seeing his former team. Jake is joined by Your Boy Q from Locked On Raiders to break down what's going on with the Raiders this year along with keys to v…

Can the Cincinnati Bengals get better in 2024? The guys break down how the passing game, already a strength of the team, could potentially find improvements in-house. But there are some things that just don't seem very realistic to improve, from run blocking weaknesses to top-to-bottom issues on defense. Plus, an early look at the trade deadline th…

The Cincinnati Bengals have been an organizational letdown, in varying degrees, in 2024. It looks like their transition plan to go from a core that included Jessie Bates, DJ Reader, and Chidobe Awuzie on defense is failing. Maybe they're getting lapped schematically. They're losing even when Joe Burrow puts on the cape and plays well. The guys brea…

The Cincinnati Bengals were thoroughly outplayed for the first time this year, and dropped to 0-4 at home and 3-5 on the season. The guys react to an abysmal loss after jumping out to a 10-3 lead before getting outscored 34-7 the rest of the way. The team just isn't meeting expectations, from the front office, to the coaching staff, to the supporti…

This is the "make us believe" game for the Cincinnati Bengals. They've won 3 of 4 against some bad teams, and have 3 narrow losses to teams at the top of the standings. Beating the Philadelphia Eagles the way they took care of the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 would go a long way in making us believe the team is back where preseason expectations had …

The Cincinnati Bengals have tied the Philadelphia Eagles twice in their last four games, which is pretty weird. But that's far from the most important story for either team as both the Eagles and Bengals are trying to sustain momentum on small win streaks against the Browns and Giants (both teams!) after disappointing starts to the season. The guys…

In this episode of AFC Squad, the crew discusses their team’s Week 7 outcomes, their thoughts on Tua Tagovailoa’s Week 8 return, which second place teams in their AFC Divisions have the best chance at success this season, and whether or not Lamar Jackson is the better MVP candidate than Patrick Mahomes.…

An 0-3 start followed by a 3-1 stretch with losses to teams at the top of the standings and wins against teams at the bottom make this Cincinnati Bengals team a bit of an enigma. They're right there with good teams in one-score losses, but haven't beaten one. The eye test says they've been a flawed rollercoaster that hasn't come all the way togethe…

The guys break down why Zac Taylor's offense appeared to get outcoached, why the Cincinnati Bengals' run game struggled, how they held up in protection, and how Joe Burrow against Cleveland in Week 7.

The Cincinnati Bengals got their first win in Cleveland since 2017 and rode their defense, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and a Charlie Jones opening kickoff return for a touchdown to get there. The guys break down the biggest takeaways as it was another rocky performance from the offense against a defensive coordinator that has had their number. B…

The guys preview another must-win game for the Cincinnati Bengals - and they're going to keep having must-wins. It doesn't really even matter who the opponent is even if getting an AFC win is part of the puzzle, but this week's trip to Cleveland to face the Browns involves the Bengals need to get a monkey off their back and bring home a W from the …

In the latest AFC Squad, the crew runs down the Davante Adams trade to the New York Jets, Amari Cooper landing with the Buffalo Bills, any other teams that could be looking to make some trades at the deadline, and which teams in the AFC that currently lead the division have the likelier chance of losing the division.…

The first Battle Of Ohio in 2024 features a Cleveland Browns team trying to avoid a tailspin and a Cincinnati Bengals team still in desperation mode to get back to where they thought they'd be in the preseason. The guys get into their weekly crossover with Jeff Lloyd of Locked On Browns to break down the biggest stories between Paul Brown's two fra…

Lou Anarumo is rotating players in the Cincinnati Bengals defensive backfield, something he once was strongly opposed to. Jordan Battle is notably earning more trust and a bigger role, a promising development for a young player they need to step up. His emergence, a schedule of some bad offenses, and a healthy DL rotation mean could be reasons to b…

From Joe Burrow to playcalling and the offensive line, Jake Liscow and Mike Santagata break down why the Cincinnati Bengals offense had an uneven performance on Sunday Night Football. It was a mixed bag for most of the offense with a smattering of highlights and lowlights and everything in between. Plus, why having competent NFL linemen helped the …
  continue reading
 
The Cincinnati Bengals' offense was not clicking on all cylinders against a strong performance from the New York Giants defensive front. Joe Burrow wasn't at his best, the run game was stuck and both backs fumbled, but they made just enough plays with the defense holding up its end, allowing just 7 points. The guys break down why "how" they won may…

In the debut episode of Locked On AFC Squad, the New York Jets decision to fire Robert Saleh in favor of Nathaniel Hackett and Aaron Rodgers was discussed by our host of AFC team representatives. Plus, which AFC teams are on upset alert for Week 6 and which team in the AFC in the bottom of their division has the best chance to make the playoffs? Jo…

The Cincinnati Bengals need to finish games. That's a theme when you lose 4 games by a combined 15 points, and it goes for the entire team. The guys break down how the Bengals must finish better, and where the key matchups will be for the team to take care of business if they're going to salvage the season. Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Commun…

After a 1-4 start, Cincinnati Bengals fans are ready for change. The guys break down whether the coach's seats are getting hot, and why they should be getting hot - and it's not just a 2024 issue at this point. There's still theoretically time to right the ship, but pressure is certainly mounting after another rocky start to a championship expectat…

The Cincinnati Bengals squandered another elite game of production from Joe Burrow and the passing offense, so the guys break down the film takeaways looking for how the offense was so effective, and why the defense continues to struggle at every level, from communication breakdowns to physical limitations. Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Commun…

The Cincinnati Bengals continue to be a play here or there short of winning football games. Whether it was a slow start, a late interception, the mishandled hold on a potential game-winning field goal, or the defense unable to get the stops they needed in the second half, they just did enough to lose the game. The guys break down another brutal los…

For many obvious reasons, it is critical for the Cincinnati Bengals to win their first AFC North game of 2024 against the Baltimore Ravens.

The guys break down how Jordan Battle and Jermaine Burton's roles could grow throughout this season as the Cincinnati Bengals' defense continues to search for answers, and the offense could always benefit from more downfield targets.

Film takeaways from the Cincinnati Bengals' first win of the season were positive on offense, so the guys are joined by Mike Santagata to break down how Joe Burrow is in midseason form, and how young players are contributing. We dive into Amarius Mims' first start, Chase Brown showing his upside, and Erick All growing into a TE1 role. Unfortunately…

The guys break down the Cincinnati Bengals' first win of the season over the Carolina Panthers, headlined by momentum building for a versatile offense, and lowlighted by a defense that has left us asking questions. So it's a mixed bag of reactions with plenty of positives on offense bundled with a few late-game questions, and a bunch of issues on d…

We all know the Cincinnati Bengals are in a bad place with their 0-3 start, somehow with a worse record than the Carolina Panthers they'll be visiting in Week 4. We also believe the Bengals are simply a better team than their record, and that the offense is good enough that they should still win a lot of football games this season. The guys break d…

Andy Dalton's nearly annual tradition of playing quarterback for an NFC team that plays the Cincinnati Bengals will resume this weekend in Charlotte as Lou Anarumo's defense will be searching for stops. Meanwhile, the Panthers' defense looks about as bad as any in the NFL, which is good news for Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor who may need to carry the d…
  continue reading
 
Unfortunately the All-22 didn't give many reasons for optimism on the defensive side of the ball, so the guys are joined by Mike Santagata (bengals_sans) to break down what we saw on film. We're at the point where a Myles Murphy breakout and getting healthier at DT might just get them to "below average" instead of "disaster". At least the offense i…

The Cincinnati Bengals defense just isn't good enough. Everything that could go wrong went wrong from the lack of talent on the defensive front, tackling, and inability to do anything to disrupt Jayden Daniels' coming out party. The offense was awesome, but it's hard to think about anything besides what looked like the worst defense in the NFL on M…
  continue reading
 
Tee Higgins will return from his hamstring injury on Monday Night Football, and could be a catalyst that combines with a shaky Washington Commanders defense that leads to an explosive night for the Cincinnati Bengals offense. The guys are looking for the offense to control the game this week, force the Commanders to play from behind, and help the d…

Tee Higgins and Kris Jenkins returned to practice on Thursday, as Amarius Mims continues to work his way back from his pec injury.

The guys break down how the reformed Cincinnati Bengals secondary has helped to transform their explosive play problem on defense, but they haven't gotten Ja'Marr Chase or the offense where we hoped it would be yet. We get into explosive play stats and reasons to hope it could improve as the season wears on. Join the Locked On Bengals Insider Commu…

While the Cincinnati Bengals lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday, film takeaways reveal quite a few reasons to be optimistic about the team's 2024 future. Joe Burrow and the offense took major steps forward, and Lou Anarumo and his secondary looked like the kind of unit that can give opposing passing attacks headaches.…
  continue reading
 
The Cincinnati Bengals made a ton of big plays to put themselves in position to win Sunday's road game with the Kansas City Chiefs, but made one too many mistakes, culminating with a Daijahn Anthony defensive pass interference penalty late in the 4th quarter. There are a lot of positives to take away, but it's a gut-punch when you grasp defeat from…
  continue reading
 
The Cincinnati Bengals obviously need to tackle better to win football games. Joe Burrow obviously can't play sped up and frantic football in the pocket. Beyond that, the guys discuss why finding yards after the catch could be an important factor for them to get moving in the right direction in Week 2's road trip to face the Kansas City Chiefs in A…
  continue reading
 
The Cincinnati Bengals are faced with one of the toughest opponents in the NFL as they try to avoid another 0-2 start in 2024. After a rough Week 1 performance, the guys crossover with Locked On Chiefs' Chris Clark and Ryan Tracy to break down how the offense can bounce back, perhaps with an adjustment to feature more Erick All Jr. and Drew Sample …
  continue reading
 
The Cincinnati Bengals have a slow start problem. Many think that simply playing the starters more in the preseason is the answer. The guys discuss the pros and cons to that approach, including why it may make sense specifically for Joe Burrow and tackling issues, and why it may not be the salve you'd hope. Then, we break down whether we're buying …

After digesting the tape of the Cincinnati Bengals' ugly week 1 loss to the New England Patriots, the guys are joined by Mike Santagata to discuss what stood out on review. First, Joe Burrow had a rocky performance highlighted by the beginning and end of the game not being up to his standard. Then, we discuss some playcalling and coaching issues. F…

It was a no good, very bad, absolutely terrible season opener for the Cincinnati Bengals. With a sputtering start and atrocious fumbles, they lost a game to a New England Patriots team they had no business losing to, and now face an uphill battle out of the season opener again. Worse, they didn't find consistent answers on offense and couldn't - or…
  continue reading
 
While Ja'Marr Chase watch continues as the Cincinnati Bengals and their star receiver continue to work through contract negotiations, he still practiced for a second straight day on Thursday.
