Greetings Titians Idiot Nation. I don't know about you but I'm still wondering just who in the hell that team was on Sunday? Holy cow, what a magnificent performance at Nissan Stadium. That clearly wasn't the same lineup of NFL players that laid an absolute egg in Cleveland a week before, right? Let's dive back into the Bengals den in this week's edition of "The Good, The Bad & The WTFugly."

THE GOOD

---

YOUNG PEYTON MANNING
As my man Austin Huff from Korked Bats asked "Did Peter Jackson direct this game?" and the answer is definitely YES because lets face it, we all witnessed the return of the King this past Sunday here in Nashville. He stiff-armed his way to 122 yards on the ground and a touchdown, passing Earl Campbell on the all-time rushing list. Young Peyton Manning also threw for another score as his 118.8 passer rating was better than Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson all combined, multiplied by Justin Herbert then divided by Jalen Hurts. The only thing the Titan King didn't do Sunday was make a three point shot, and seeing how that's a completely different sport, I'm good with that. 

2 TANNY 2 TRILL 
That was another beautiful bounce back performance from our ol' pal, Tanny Trill AKA Ryan Tannehill. This was the first time Tanny had beaten the Bengals since he was a member of the Miami Dolphins. There's no secret our success on Sundays lies in establishing the run to set up play-action, but Play Action Tanny is an absolute work of art. Play Action Tanny should be proudly displayed at the Louvre. Play Action Tanny is Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre the Giant in 1987 at Wrestlemania three. Play Action Tanny is Vintage Montana. You heard me. Don't @ me. I said what I said. 

NOT FOLKING AROUND
Nick Folk is allergic to missing kicks, or at least it seems that way because this man is 100% on the season. For those of you scoring at home, He's 10/10 on field goals and 6/6 on extra points. From where I sit yelling at my TV, that's pretty impressive. When is the last time we were able to lift our heads high, proudly engaging on water cooler discussions involving the top kickers around the National Football League? Yeah, you're right... those conversations don't actually exist but IF they did, we would be in there like swimwear.  

LEADER OF THE PACK
The Titans' defensive front plays angry. Week after week they're stuffing the run and head hunting quarterbacks just for fun. This weeks lowly victim just happened to be Mr. 245 million dollar man, Joey B. Can Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson run on our front four, as he already has three rushing scores on the season? or will he trust his arm to air it out on our suspect secondary? You know he's going to be hype for this game and looking to run out the gate, especially with it being his first game against the Titans. But everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. 

PRETTY BOY KELLY
Can we take a minute to reflect on how beautiful and innovative the play-calling was this week, compared to last week against the Brown Frowns. At times Sunday we looked like the greatest show on Turf amassing 172 yards on the ground, including an absurd 8 YPC for our rookie speedster, Tyjae Spears. We also piled up 242 yards through the air averaging 12.7 yards per catch. If we want to compete for the AFC South this year we're going to need a repeat performance this Sunday at the place in Indy that looks like Kroger where they also happen to play football.

THE BAD

BONEHEAD PENATLIES 
I have to put something here, and even though it was a damn near perfect game all around, we do need to cut back on penalties. On Sunday we committed five penalties, although only for a total of 27 yards, it's still something we have to continue to improve upon. We can't keep putting ourselves in tough situations expecting things to just work out against other professional football players striving for the same outcome. So far on the season we've committed 26 penalties for 197 yards through four contests. This places us basically in the middle of the mix when it comes to the NFL leader board, but if we can play mistake free football on both sides of the ball, as our offense starts to find it's rhythm, we will be a playoff party crasher for many teams down the stretch, trust me.

THE WTFUGLY??!!

THE BENGALS MISMANAGING BURROW
I'm no Bengals fan, thank god. But if I was, I'd be really concerned with how this staff is mismanaging the Joe Burrow injury.  I'm not making excuses for his performances or losses, but he's clearly dealing with more than they are leading on. Hey Cincinnati... how are you going to go out and buy a brand new Ferrari just to burn a bunch of gas in stop and go traffic. Keep that baby parked in the garage until you can floor it out on the highway.  You've got his whole future ahead of you. SHUT THAT MAN DOWN. Of all the damn seasons for me to draft Jamarr Chase.. SMH.
