I have a hectic schedule on Sunday morning & afternoon, so I'm setting this up now.

Please use it for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the 2024 Birds - Bengals game.

Go Birds!!!

the matchup today between backup LT Fred Johnson and Cincy DE Trey Hendrickson concerns me. Here's hoping big Fred can have a career game.

5 yds n cloud of dunk dunk drive smh

 

[BobPSU92]

Bungles start the game with a 10:04 drive for a TD. For f*ck’s sake.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

it could be a long day for the Birds if their D lets the Bengals march like that on them.

The Birds' D made some nice plays in the drive, but never on 3rd down

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

lots of O today FUN for us

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Monkey off the back

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Birds with a FG.

7-3, Bengals, with 14:10 left in the 2nd qtr

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Bengals with a 27-yard FG, makes it 10-3, Bengals, with 9:32 left in the 2nd qtr.

I've got a few other commitments this afternoon, so this is likely my last post in the thread until after the game.

Go Birds! Hopefully, they start playing better in this game.

The offense is sputtering so far. Big penalties have killed them and now Lane is hurt.

 

[WestSideLion]

Looks like Lane is back. Fingers crossed.

 

[s1uggo72]

Eagles need to force a TO

 

[s1uggo72]

Slay <Bradberry at this point

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Ok birds take advantage

 

[WestSideLion]

Ok. D got away with one there. Now time to score a TD and capitalize.

 

[WestSideLion]

Slay <Bradberry at this point

30-something CBs usually don’t have a happy ending unless their name is Darrell Green. I think neither guy is on the roster in mid March 2025.

 

[s1uggo72]

Bring the LBer in n run it down their throat

 

[WestSideLion]

This is just a dumb team. AJ converted 3rd and 16, but, damn, they don’t make it easy on themselves.

 

[s1uggo72]

Yea it looks good on paper but it makes too long a corner when you bring the OT over. Run it to the short side

 

[WestSideLion]

Fabulous momentum shift on those last two possessions. That’s textbook on the road.

 

[WestSideLion]

The Eagles D is playing way off on coverage. Gesicki is eating their lunch on 3rd and medium.

 

[s1uggo72]

Need a TO to get off the field

 

[WestSideLion]

The Eagles D is still a work in progress but seems to be getting better. Burrow and Chase are a tough barometer.

 

[s1uggo72]

Need to answer on O w 7

 

[WestSideLion]

Woot! Slim!

 

[s1uggo72]

Need to get off the field now!!

 

[WestSideLion]

Need to get off the field now!!

A third turnover of the season would be timely.

 

[s1uggo72]

Good or bad news. Slay out?

 

[WestSideLion]

There’s the defense! Great chance here to go up two scores.

TO on downs I’ll take it

 

[nittanyfan333]

That’s a baaaaad white boy!!!

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves

 

[WestSideLion]

That’s a baaaaad white boy!!!

He has a chance to be special. Athletic and physical. They’ve lacked that at DB.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Look at 33 follow him in motion then accelerate as he read the play impressive

 

[s1uggo72]

If he makes this great decision

 

[s1uggo72]

Birds up 10. Need another 3 n out

 

[WestSideLion]

Good outcome there. Two score lead. Lots of time left. I think the Eagles need another TD to win this.
