What's the state of Cincy's culture, Branden Allen to start & Giants insight with Dan Duggan Nov 26, 2020

Show notes

In lieu of a recent report exploring growing dissent in the Bengals' locker room, Paul and Jay discuss Cincinnati's culture. It's apparent the team is losing and frustration is bred from that, but is there resentment festering throughout the organization? Is winning all it takes to exorcise toxicity from the Bengals? Starting running back Giovani Bernard explains his position on rumors of discontentment, and describes his stance on Zac Taylor, the coaching staff and organization as a whole. So, is Branden Allen going to throw for 9,000 or 10,000 yards in the remaining six games? The duo provide an overview of Cincinnati's quarterback situation following Joe Burrow's season-ending injury. Plus, grab a tissue, it's time for another round of sad stats. The Athletic's New York Giants wordsmith Dan Duggan joins Jay to chat about the G-Men's first year under head coach Joe Judge, Daniel Jones' second season running the offense and staying in the hunt for a playoff spot in the putrid NFC East. Lastly, we serve up another IMPOSSIBLE Growler bet, so don't even try, and an RPB sure to get you out of the Thanksgiving spirit.

How will Cincinnati perform in their next four games against opposition from the NFC East and Miami? The 'stripes' are scheduled to pick in the top-10 of 2021's NFL draft. Who will they take?

Bengals' pleasant surprise, most overrated/underrated & more mid-season awards Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

It's bye week, wooo! Nothing stressful to think about at all. Not a thing...not even the offensive line which is a mixed bag (to say the least) and is scheduled to play one of the league's top defenses next week. Like I said, hakuna matata. OK, fine, Paul and Jay gab about Cincinnati's fluid offensive line layout and what the starting unit could like like against the Steel Curtain next week. The guys dispense their mid-season awards, including categories like MVP, DPO(H)Y (Defensive Player of the Half-Year), most pleasant surprise, overrated/underrated and more! Plus, a RPB that will tie us over until next week!

Rundown:

(4:00) Trade deadline & offensive line

(20:30) Mid-season awards, MVP

(23:45) DPO(H)Y
