Thank you

3 straight runs to settle for a 50+ yard FG when you have Joe Burrow is inexcusable levels of cowardice. Cowardice like that deserves scorn

[@FlexileTheWolf]

I think that is a good way to put it honestly. You can tell Burrow felt the same way on sideline shot of him

[@truthbearer7891]

Same Burrow who threw the INT that led Ravens back in game. Burrow is lucky refs missed face mask on Andrews that stopped drive for Ravens to win game in regulation

[@FlexileTheWolf]

@@truthbearer7891 and 5 TD's

[@sidelinesarah]

Coleman TD: RT false start, pushed off Kamari, then a different replay angle showed his heel stepped out on his TD run. There was an opportunity where the Texans turned over on downs, fumble, interception, this game shouldn’t had been close. “Went the Texans way” bc the better team won

[@winners_when_1]

Wait! You came away from the Bengals v Ravens game more impressed with the Bengals (in particular their defense)?? If this is the case you have a serious bias. The Bengals were the more desperate team and lost. If not for a Lamar unforced error (fumble in OT) the Bengals were about to outright lose with no excuse. The Bengals are who we thought they were, great pass game and an awful defense. If anything, what was impressive from this game was the Ravens showing that they could win a game (particularly on the road) where the game script was not in their favor and they had to come back from a second half 10 point deficit 3 times.

[@Zach-lc6bs]

van ginkel 5 career return td tied for second among currently rostered players behind eddie jackson (6) marcus peters (8), patrick peterson (6) are free agents as well

[@InsideSportJapan]

Robert Mays never heard a sentence he didn't feel compelled to interrupt - usually with the EXACT SAME POINT the other person was making. If he could just let the people on these podcasts complete a thought he'd actually be an enjoyable listen.

[@kalluey]

bengals schedule for the next few weeks is pretty favorable. They could easily get back to 500 in time for their next game against the ravens

[@JacobHastings]

Every time Bo Nix has a good game it’s a WTF about the opponent. I’ve always loved this show but I have no idea why Mays refuses to give Bo Nix any credit. He will double and triple down on his assumption that Bo can never be good rather than give him credit

[@ChewsCarefully]

*About Josh Allen:* look at his completion % since getting his head knocked back in last week's game against the Ravens. Pretty crappy, no? He's been concussed _twice_ in two weeks. Anyone know how to contact the league, the Bills & point this out? At best, it's another T-Law situation. He _just started_ passing more accurately after over a year. We can't be sure yet if this is permanent. That's at best.

[@joethomas6277]

I agree. I think he might have been concussed or hurt physically after that dumb trick play against the Ravens.

[@ChewsCarefully]

@@joethomas6277 Ah, yes. The recap channel I see the games with spent _NO_ time discussing it so I wouldn't know when he got hit, but I seem to remember him getting rolled around after being strip-sacked on that play. No one mentioned it at the time. But someone in a comment elsewhere mentioned his completion % tanking after 'an incident' against the Ravens. That's likely it.

[@chrisschrimpf8298]

As much as I dislike the Bengals, their season isn’t over until they get to 8 losses. They win 3 in a row against mid-teams and they will be back at .500. Go Chiefs

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

Bengals defense is too shit for them to win 2 in a row, much less 3!

[@ThomasR789]

I agree. They missed their window they should have a ring, they took Joe Mixon out on 4th down and Aaron Donald got Burrow. They are done. SKOL​@@eddiewinehosen6665

[@Shugoshin9720]

I just want to have this sort of break through moment with Robert ala Good Will Hunting. Robert it isn’t your fault. You are allowed to express joy when your football team does cool things. It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault the bears have a truly astounding history of being allergic to offense. It’s not your fault they constantly misaligned the GM, coach, and QB timeline. It’s not your fault they keep retaining mediocre coaches despite on the field evidence they’re bad more often than good. Divest yourself of the crushing misery. It’s not your fault and you’re allowed to feel and think positively. Until the next befuddling loss, but even then it’s not your fault. Edit: also the raiders vibes should’ve been ejected into the sun when they hired Getsy. He probably isn’t the biggest problem but what that guy did in Chicago contributed to a toxic work environment and some serious QB mismanagement. He was a sniveling little shit that manipulated the media to his benefit frankly because all of them weren’t interested in losing a source and Getsy loved being an unnamed source. Pierce hiring Getsy was the equivalent of Isildur walking away with the Ring. They’re dead they just don’t know it yet.

[@ChewsCarefully]

Here's a stat that I half-expect Rob to know: Jared Verse's "pressures" are an illusion. They come late & only exist because the Rams' pass rush is SO weak that QBs stay longer in the pocket against them, long enough for him to pressure them. Eventually. So, yeah, the Rams are done. Sympathy for Geno. Last season despite being 4th lowest in off-target % & the additions of JSN, Bobo & Charbonnet his play-callers were horrible. Now he's played his heart out 2 games in a row like he thinks this is his Last Chance & his team cannot stop the run. Or pass. Their defense is terrible. Strangely, I think that he could make the Raiders a threat. Their D is still suspect but has pieces & even without Adams they have a ton of talent in the receiver room. Just who would be QB for the Seahawks? AOC? That would be throwing in the towel. They won't do that... _will_ they?

[@soapbar76]

I’m biased but McKinney has to be the best FA pickup of the season so far. Saquon and AVG are up there too. but McKinney is playing out of his mind.

[@26zz]

22 in baltimore has been pretty good

[@BrandonBB4]

Completely disrespecting the 2023 Broncos defense by saying we gave up 73 points, we ONLY gave up 70 to the Dolphins! Obviously joking, great ep

[@TheBigJankowski]

The Rams are actually 0-3 against the NFC North who's worst team is 3-2.

[@charlesdrew3836]

Bro what are u talking abt? In their head the ravens are 9-1 against bengals

[@AleksandarPanovski]

So, basically, you need to see more from Jayden Daniels after 4 weeks because he was playing soft defenses but Caleb Williams playing Tennessee, Houston, Indianapolis, LA Rams and Carolina makes him great??? Apply the same standards, please. This show is getting more hype and narrative based than it used to be. Like, we are fans, we watch the games, we appreciate all the madness, we see all the good and bad plays. We need you to do more. That more was what got me hooked to the show in the first plays several years ago. You were not JUST regurgitating the highlight reels of the past week. Lately, you two sound like each others echo chambers. There is less depth to the good and the bad stuff teams do and less challenges to do so from each other. There used to be a lot more information, lot less bias and a lot more "this is what happened". Now I know in every episode you are going to spend a lot of time about the following: The Bears success/woes and Roberts emotional tribulations, Josh Allen is an MVP and has been for years. CJ Stroud is rainbow throwing unicorn. Sympathy for LA Rams (and "I don't want Stafford to fade this way"). Contempt for the NFC south. Brian Flores is a crazy MF. Homage to Geno Smith. Lamar is a superhero. I respect your opinions on all of the above but, there are 20 other teams in the NFL as well as hundreds of other players in the NFL doing stuff worth at least a mention. You sound more like fantasy "experts" that football analysts. This is an appeal, not a hate post. I really enjoy the chemistry between you two and still I can't wait for the show to get out so I could maybe listen to it during my commute early in the morning (in SE Europe). Its just that more often than not I roll my eyes while listening to you and going wait, did you not just say a week ago that...... Of course, you are free to take the creative path you want forward and I am just a fan of the show, perfectly understand that and if I don't like it, well, free I am to find what I like elsewhere. I just think it's a shame. You guys know and did stuff better. Respectfully.

[@zachament3908]

The Bengals receivers are in the Ravens head? Lamar has lost once to Cincy and the Bengals needed a fluke 100 yard fumble return to beat the Ravens with Huntley at QB and Greg Roman as OC at home in the playoffs.

[@aarondonald1611]

9ers are winless in the NFC and NFC West but you're not worried? Ok bro

[@winners_when_1]

Again more bias - “Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, Tee Higgins are in these Ravens defenders heads”. Fact - None have had a good game against the Ravens since 2021. Another fact, Lamar Jackson is 9-1 against the Bengals all time. Either you guys just love the Bengals and/or you do not like the Ravens? (which is fine either way) But should be honest about that instead of playing loose with the truth.

[@BAABPC]

It's mad weird you talk about Lamar's fumble, but not Joe’s pick. Seems like you're willing to make excuse after excuse as to why Joe doesn't deserve the blame, but he deserves most of the blame for not scoring the last 15 minutes of football

[@kingbeyfan2598]

You guys have to do more research before putting stuff into the universe lol. The Ravens with Lamar as their Qb is 9-1 vs the Bengals and vs Burrow, Lamar is now 5-1. The Bengals receivers are not in the Ravens db’s head lol. The Ravens D lost 4 coaches including their coordinator last off season. Their current coordinator is a first time play caller so that’s why they are struggling early.

[@kane6529]

You got cooked and got the win just take it and move along

[@kane6529]

God dammit bengals clearly should’ve beat Ravens and Chiefs and here we are 1-4 fucking cooked 😝 3-2 with wins over the 2 best afc teams feels a lot different than fire Lou fire Zac

[@FlexileTheWolf]

Still got a chance its very early and no one in division pulled away. I feel like Bengals do this every year don't they?

[@kane6529]

@@FlexileTheWolfyou know damn well that’s the best offense you’ve seen and you’ve played the Bills and the Chiefs. The Bengals defense is ass and the Ravens offense is good. See how that works I didn’t discredit your team I acknowledge they are good

[@MrSonicification]

​@kane6529 first things first, take a breath, champ. The guy you replied to didn't say anything disparaging about the Bengals and you damn near ripped his head off. That being said, I agree with everything else you said. Bengals offense is top 5 at minimum and there is no earthly reason they should be any less than 3-2. Zac Taylor should be fired for his overtime strategy alone, not to mention the consistent failure to get this team ready for the start of the season

[@FlexileTheWolf]

@@MrSonicification thanks lol

[@kane6529]

Cj played a better game than Burrow with 1td/1int 😂 dude every time this guy says some off the wall shit

[@ChristopherSmith-z7x]

The only thing that made the Bengals game ok is knowing that Lamar will never win a Superbowl.

[@BillyBob000-r4s]

Never say never
