The Bengals are 1-0. This is not a drill!

Matt and Willie are here to break down the Bengals victory in Cleveland and what to look for as the season goes on.

The won this weekend in perhaps the most unexpected way.

Joe Flacco throwing the ball all over the place, while Joe Burrow struggles. The Bengals D stifling the Browns; run game. Being on the right side of kicking woes for a change. Losing time of possession by over 10 minutes and having 22 fewer offensive snaps. The Bengals not giving up a sack for over three quarters, then suddenly giving up 3 consecutive sacks. Dogs and cats, living together. Mass hysteria.

The season is almost here. It’s time to get your story straight. Lay all your cards on the table. Here come the final takes before the Bengals hit the gridiron in 2025. What is going to happen? How are they going to do? Will they make another Super Bowl run or miss the playoffs? If only there were some ball-knowers around to break it all down… Oh wait, there are. We are Matt and Willie, and we know ball.

Matt and Willie have all the Bengals takes you could ever ask for, and many that you would have never asked for.

This week we talk about everything you need to know going into the Bengals opener:

We also give our game predications and season-long predictions. So that will be fun. Once of us sees a lot of offense in this game and a record number of win for the season. The other one is Willie.

It is time for this team to finally get out to a fast start, but first it is time for Matt and Willie.

It is a tale far too familiar for Bengals fans. The official end of the preseason and beginning of the regular season in Cincinnati occurs when a star player ends his holdout. Trey Hendrickson gets a big raise, and just like that preseason is over. It’s kind of like Groundhogs Day, but Punxsutawney Phil a much better against the run.

The other sign that training camp has ended is the cuts.

“And then there were 53”

If you see that as an Agatha Christie reference, we can be friends. If you see that as Seinfeld reference, we can still be friends, but you really pick up a book once in a while.

The Bengals have made their cuts and are down to their “final” roster. That is of course final until waiver claims go through, which depending on when you are reading this, may have already happened. If this is the case, what is the future like?

But I digress…

The Bengals have made their initial cuts and Matt and Willie have much to discuss.
