What the podcasts are saying about the Cincinnati Bengals
Here is what NFL podcasts are actually saying about the Cincinnati Bengals: 25 excerpts from 6 shows, taken word for word from episodes published between July 31 and November 26. Every line below is a verbatim passage from a published transcript, timestamped and linked to the moment it was said. Nothing here is paraphrased, and nothing is attributed to a named person unless that person identified themselves on the recording.
“They haven't really hit their stride yet and it feels like to me, matchup wise, they're gonna pump thirty on the Bengals. Man, that's the low number in this game for the Ravens, short weekend against that defense. They're getting thirty in this game.”
“I don't think the Bengals did anything in any in either sequence that got the Patriots. Or maybe one play they blitzed the safety on a play action that got them. But like for the most part this was I.”
“There were two Bengals there. They one of them I think thirty five broke on the ball, had a chance to make a play. That's kind of the only way you're going to really lose is if is if you do it.”
“Now we go back to one o'clock and it's the New England Patriots at nine and two visiting the Bengals at three and seven.”
“What if it unfolds and it's a typical Patriots game and the Bengals get the ball and Joe Borrow is back and they go right down and make it seven nothing. Don't anythink like the Bengals themselves, they're not going to be saying.”
“We were just talking about this on Catch twenty two because Alex and I normally try to come up with some things that the opponent could do that would give the Patriots problems and be somewhat balanced. But with this Bengals defense, especially without Trey Hendrickson, it's it's hard.”
“The Bengals, how the worst defense in the history of the NFL. When push comes to shove, it's a big game for the Patriots.”
“You know, just texting this week with our buddy Trags who's now covering the Bengals in Cincinnati, Like he was talking about their linebackers and how bad their linebackers have been all year. So they just don't have a ton of talent on defense.”
“Hey, either one, raise your hand if you want to take this one, though, how do you how do you go in this ballgame and have one quarterback hit when you're the Cincinnati Bengals. They touched the quarterback one time in this game.”
“In a division that is known for being rough and rugged, the Bengals don't necessarily bring that all the time and that effort, that energy, and I know we eventually talked about Baltimore it is the day to more. But that has to be there when you're in these critical situations.”
“When we saw two weeks ago against the Bengals was they were showcasing their young talent and giving them opportunity, and it's why RJ. Harvey had the biggest game I think of any Broncos running back in fantasy so far this season in that game.”
“Joe Flacco across the state into the Vision to the Cincinnati Bengals, who will likely take over for Jake Browning. The Cincinnati will face the Packers Sunday afternoon in Green Bay before a short week Thursday night matchup at home against the Steelers.”
“Who's the QB one rank, Well, they should just rename this segment Who's going against the Bengals, Panthers or Cowboys, because that's who we're going to go. Josh Allen, but I took Jared goff in this one for obvious reasons.”
“For the Broncos was thirty seven point nine percent. I mean, that's good, but that's not sky high. But then again, you must consider that the Bengals only ran forty three offensive plays because they couldn't sustain any possessions they got out.”
“On Monday Night, the Broncos steamroll the Cincinnati Bengals twenty eight to three in a game I'm not certain the Bengals knew they needed to show up for on Monday night in Denver, Jordan. What a showing for the now two and two Denver Broncos.”
“You need to build in as many unscouted looks as you can against this Vikings or against the Bengals defense, but the line and mitigate some of the risk on your line. Ryan Kelly is in the concussion protocol. They're starting center backup tackle justin school.”
“Shut up, all right, I'm going to put the Vikings now number one. I'm sorry to the Vikings fans and the Bears. The Bears are going to be number two. And yes, if you're curious, the final list Vikings, Bears, Bengals, Chiefs, Jets, Panthers, and Commanders.”
“Do you think the Vikings, the Bengals or the Chiefs deserve to be at number one over the Bears, or do you think you're most anxious about the Bears. I agree with your point about Caleb Williams. We can talk about him on the previous show.”
“The other part that comes into play here is now I think you're streaming defenses against the Bengals until we yeah, it act well, and even I was even kind of leaning that way even.”
“This is like the monkey's paw of starts to the season for the Bengals. It's like they wish to not have a bad start to the year. So great, you're two and zero, you also don't have your starting franchise quarterback.”
“The Bengals gonna be about Joe Burrow pretty much all year. The Steelers are going to be mid The Browns are gonna brown like the Ravens. I mean another one in one. But they lost to the Bills like nobody's nobody's dinging them for that, you know what I'm saying, Like they can run away with this division.”
“Eventually, though, in the second half, the Browns defense came together and completely denied anything that the Bengals wanted to do through the air. For the most part, Greg Newson had a couple of great pass breakups on Jamar Chase after getting flaged for a pass interference in the first half.”
“I just again, I'm not saying the Browns are gonna beat them. I think the Bengals aren't under and that that is a bet. This next one, Demons is such a disrespectful number. The rounds total said it four and a half minus one forty five on the over, plus one twenty on the under.”
“I did think that the structure of the deal and the Rays was informative, and Paul Daner, your colleague at the Athletic, kind of confirmed what I was thinking was the Bengals had never had any interest in signing him long term period like if if like they just didn't offer him guaranteed money into the next year.”
“They are one of the most fascinating teams in the league, and so looking forward to that deep dive into the Eagles. But first, as we always do, we'll talk a little bit of news. Trey Hendrickson has shown up to Bengals training camp since we last spoke.”
How these quotes are chosen
Each excerpt is copied word for word from a transcript the podcast publisher supplies with the episode. Nothing is paraphrased, shortened mid-sentence, or stitched together from two speakers. The timestamp is where the passage begins — 16:29on the first quote above — and the link opens the episode at that point.
Transcripts label voices as “Speaker 1”, not by name, so every quote is attributed to the SHOW unless the speaker identified themselves on the recording. We never guess who spoke. If a quote here is wrong, use “Report this quote” and we unpublish it immediately while we check.
Podcasters who have claimed their show can opt out of quoting entirely.
