The Bengals have a defense so they can kick field goals.

well the major difference is the Bengals have been able to shed their loser mentality which we continue to embrace with ferocity
the Chiefs were overrated all season and we should have easily beat them twice - instead we beat ourselves at Sofi with our loser mentality. I'm a big numbers and statistics guy, but you need to know how to apply the numbers in your favor, which our head coach does not yet understand. Going for it repeatedly on fourth down is a perpetuation of our organization's loser mentality, it's a panic move and akin to playing scared.

I endorse this. But expanding on it, the difference between the Chargers and Bengals really comes down to coaching. The Bengals are well-coached. The Chargers were not well-coached this season, and the questionable/irrational decisions to go for it instead of taking three points are why Burrow is going to the SB in his 2nd season and Herbert sat at home for the playoffs.Originally posted by AFboltfan View Post
That said, let this be a lesson in the wisdom of sticking with a HC who struggles early in his tenure. The Bengals were the worst team in the NFL in Zac Taylor's first season. Two seasons later, he has his team in the the Super Bowl. I just hope Brandon Staley can evolve as a coach, and get Herbert and the Chargers to Lombardi Land in the near future.Comment

I don't mind going for it on 4th down once in a while, under the following conditions:Originally posted by Bolt Doc View Post
1. We need to be at LEAST inside the opposing team's territory, preferably past the 35 yd. line or so.
2. Dial up a creative play, something the other team hasn't seen...ANYTHING but Ekkie up the gut vs. a stacked box for nada.
3. If it's a close game, and we are in FG range, better kick the figgie.
4. If we're behind by a lot, and #1 and #2 are followed, then yes, go for it a bit more often.Comment
