Tuesday Trenches: I’ve seen this movie before

I woke up Monday morning with the scene at the end of “Avengers: Endgame” stuck in my head.

Young Gamora: Did you do it?

Thanos: Yes.

Young Gamora: What did it cost?

Thanos: Everything.

This isn’t a knock on Jake Browning. I don’t think the Bengals should panic by going after a new starting quarterback. There’s no need to give up draft capital for Kirk Cousins or try to find someone who can compete with Browning for snaps. The starting quarterback of the Bengals is, and should remain, Jake Browning until such time that Joe Burrow is healthy and capable...

An NFL savant still believes in the Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals have started the 2025 season with a 2-0 record for the first time since the 2018 season, but like Thanos at the end of “End Game” it has cost them everything. That’s because, lost in their Week 2 win, was franchise quarterback Joe Burrow, who will need surgery on a turf toe injury on his left foot and is expected to miss up to three months.

Considering this, it’s likely many Bengals fans woke up on Monday morning feeling like they were hit by a truck. After all, for the third time in six years Burrow is...

Bengals make much-needed change to Ring of Honor weekend

Bengals make much-needed change to Ring of Honor weekend

The timing of this change is… interesting, given that Joe Burrow sustained a turf toe injury in Sunday’s 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Then again, this change never should have had to be made.

Nonetheless, the Bengals are now paying for all flight, hotel, and suite ticket expenses for ROH members who attend the Oct. 26 game.

“Some good news Boomer Esiason aka Boomer Luther King has worked for the players once again!” Willie Anderson posted on Twitter/X. “Ring of Honor members will Receive (2) First class tickets (2) suite tickets and hotel for This year Ring of Honor...

Joe Burrow’s 2025 Season in Doubt, Bengals Improve to 2-0: OBI’s The Aftermath

Joe Burrow’s 2025 Season in Doubt, Bengals Improve to 2-0: OBI’s The Aftermath

The Cincinnati Bengals are 2-0 for the first time under Zac Taylor, but the feel-good times are not where they should be at the moment. In the thrilling victory over the Jaguars, Joe Burrow went down in the second quarter with a toe injury that may end up costing him the entire 2025 season.

Jake Browning stepped in admirably and led the team to 2-0, but the Bengals will have to hope to have him continue his winning ways to keep their Championship hopes alive. Can he have another solid run like he did in 2023?

We talk about this,...

Joe Burrow needs surgery, will miss at least 3 months

Joe Burrow needs surgery, will miss at least 3 months

There it is. The worst possible outcome for superstar QB Joe Burrow was just confirmed by Adam Schefter.

Burrow will require surgery to treat his turf toe and is expected to at least miss three months as a result.

And, according to Ian Rapoport, multiple experts all recommended surgery for Joe Burrow.

That is a gut punch to a team that finally seemed to figure out how to win ugly games early in the season.

Now they must adjust the offense to support backup QB Jake Browning keep them in games.

Browning played admirably as usual, hitting Mitchell Tinsley and...

Ja’Marr Chase continues making history

Ja’Marr Chase continues making history

Ja’Marr Chase joined some rarified air with his 14 receptions, 165 yards, and one touchdown performance today.

This was the sixth time that Chase had a game with 10+ catches, 150+ receiving yards, and a touchdown.

This puts him above Hall of Famer Isaac Bruce for a player under 26 years old. Bruce accomplished the feat five times in his career.

The Cincinnati Bengals needed every bit of it to pull out a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-27.

There will continue to be a lot of concern about the weeks ahead. For this night, however, the Bengals can rest...

Trevor Lawrence and Liam Coen have tense interaction during Jaguars’ loss to Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals squeaked out another close one, this time at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They’re 2-0 for the first time since the 2018 season, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows in Cincinnati, either. Joe Burrow could be lost for the foreseeable future with a toe injury on his left foot, thanks in part to the team’s inability to protect their quarterback every single year. Jake Browning came in and, despite a couple of interceptions, got the offense to work when it mattered most.

The narrative in Jacksonville may be more along the lines of “we lost” than...

It feels so much better to go into Week 2 1-0 than 0-1. Regardless of how the Bengals’ offense played in the second half in Cleveland on Sunday, a win is a win. Now, the Bengals have plenty of room for improvement and are still 1-0 heading into Sunday’s Week 2 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jaguars are also 1-0 entering Sunday’s game, with a 26-10 home win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. Their head coach, Liam Coen, was one of just two head coaches to win his debut with his new team in Week 1.

Prospects of interest in the Texas A&M at Notre Dame game

Texas A&M will travel to face Notre Dame on Saturday night. Both teams are currently ranked inside the top twenty. There will be a ton of draft-eligible prospects to keep an eye on during this game.

The Bengals recently selected an edge player from the Aggies with Shemar Stewart. Could they look to do so again?

One of my favorite prospects is edge rusher Cashius Howell. I currently view Howell as a top fifty prospect for the entire draft class. He is a former transfer from Bowling Green. This will be his second season with Texas A&M. He has 18.5...
