In The Trenches with Dave Lapham

Lapham Reaction Bengals Wasting Joe Burrow's Magical Season

It was a long plane ride back to Cincinnati following the Bengals 34-27 Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Dave Lapham reacts to the Bengals' latest loss despite Joe Burrow having another big game. Burrow threw for 356 yards and three touchdowns, and receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins combined for 16 catches for 223 yards and three touchdowns, wasting another chance to work towards making the playoffs.
Burrow, who is leading the NFL with 3,028 passing yards and 27 touchdowns with only four interceptions, is having a magical type of season quarterbacks usually have on teams pushing for championships, not on the outside looking in at the playoffs. 
Despite being 4-7 heading into their bye, the Bengals are still in the hunt for a playoff berth if they can return and put together a winning streak in their final six games that will start against AFC North rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are finding ways to win games and stand with an 8-2 mark so far.

Bengals OC Dan Pitcher | Bengals Offense vs the Chargers Defense | Bengals vs Chargers Preview

Cincinnati Bengals OC Dan Pitcher joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals offense vs the Chargers defense in their week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
After another disappointing loss on Thursday night, the Bengals will look to bounce back on Sunday night as the Bengals take on Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers. 
It's a game the Bengals need to win to keep their playoff chances alive. Hopefully, the Bengals will be at full strength with the return of Tee Higgins and Orlando Brown Jr but they both will be questionable for the game.

The Bengals played their best game of the season this past Sunday defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 41-24, but Joe Burrow was not satisfied.

NFL Broadcaster Charles Davis | Bengals Lose 37-17 Never Counting Out Joe Burrow and the Bengals

NFL broadcaster Charles Davis joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals' 37-17 loss to the Philadephia Eagles and how he's never counting out Joe Burrow and the Bengals.  
It was another home loss for the Bengals as they fell to 3-5 in the 2024 season. The game was tied late in the 3rd quarter but after three big plays for the Eagles, the game seemed to slip away for the Bengals. 
There were many reasons the Bengals lost on Sunday but a big one was having their #2 wide receiver out with injury. Tee Higgins was ruled out before the game after he injured his quad on Friday and now the Bengals are 0-3 without Higgins in the 2024 season.
The Bengals have the Las Vegas Raiders coming to Paycor Stadium in Week 9 in what now is another must-win midway through the season.

Dave Lapham Reaction: Eagles Bullied Bengals

The Philadelphia Eagles won their first game in Cincinnati Sunday afternoon in Paycor Stadium and bullied the Cincinnati Bengals during their 37-17 win over the 3-5 Bengals.
After an incredible opening drive by Joe Burrow (26 of 37 for 234 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) that resulted in a Ja'Marr Chase two-yard touchdown reception and used up most of the clock in the first quarter, the Bengals defense held the Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense to a Jake Elliott 39 yard field goal to be up 7-3 in the second quarter. However, Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and DeVonta Smith were getting warmed up.
Hurts led the Eagles on another drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown run to head into the locker room at the half-tied 10-10.
It didn't take long for the Eagles to add another score with another Hurts touchdown run and a 17-10 advantage. The Bengals would answer with another drive as running back Chase Brown hit the end zone with a four-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 17 with a little over four minutes left in the third quarter.
But the Bengals were done for the day as the Eagles bullied them on both sides of the ball. They would get a 45-yard touchdown strike from Hurts to Smith and another 1-yard run for a score from Hurts, with two Elliott field goals to win. This would silence the second-largest crowd in Paycor history as the Bengals struggled to add wins on the field.
Dave Lapham was on the call for the game and reacted to the Bengals' fifth loss of the season from the First Star Logistics Studios.

Sunday, he witnessed second-year receiver Charlie Jones take the game-opening kickoff for a 100-yard touchdown, making him the second player in franchise history to record a kickoff and punt return for a touchdown.
Simmons also talks about the performances of rookie punter Ryan Rehkow, who is also the holder, long snapper Cal Adomitis, and kicker Evan McPherson in this exclusive one-on-one interview.

Cincinnati Bengals Defensive Coordinator Lou Anarumo | Very Pleased After Two Great Defensive Games

Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengal's back-to-back wins and how impressive Lou's defense has played. 
The last time Lou joined the show it was after two disappointing performances against the Commanders and the Ravens but now after two great performances from his defense Lou is in better spirits. 
The Bengals will have another huge challenge in Week 8 vs the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have a great offense with multiple weapons including Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown, and DeVonta Smith along with their dual-threat QB Jalen Hurts. 
We want to thank Lou for being a fantastic guest and for joining us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham brought to you by First Star Logistics.

Bengals FANS REJOICE! Victory Monday is HERE!!

It's another Victory Monday. On Sunday afternoon, the Cincinnati Bengals defeated their AFC North rival, the Cleveland Browns, 21-14. 
What better way to open a game than with a 100-yard kickoff return by second-year wide receiver Charlie Jones? 
The game may not have been a masterpiece. Still, Joe Burrow had another solid day getting Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins involved, and the defense stepped up with another big day for Trey Hendrickson and a couple of interceptions by Sam Hubbard and safety Geno Stone, who recorded the first of his Bengals career.
Join Dave Lapham as he reacts to another Victory Monday on In The Trenches, presented by First Star Logistics.

Former Bengal & NBC Broadcaster Cris Collinsworth | Reaction to the Bengals Second Win of the Season

Former Cincinnati Bengal and NBC broadcaster Cris Collinsworth joins us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham to discuss the Bengals win over the New York Giants and how the Bengals can still turn their 2024 season around. 
Cris of course called the game on Sunday night and it was a surprising outcome. It was a low-scoring, defensive game which is the exact opposite of the Bengal's past four games. It was a frustrating game for Joe Burrow and the offense but Burrow played well enough in the big moments to pull out the win. 
The highlight of the game was the defense, playing their best game of the  2024 season. BJ Hill and Trey Hendrickson were huge standouts, giving the Giants problems all game. The secondary also played great coming up with huge plays, especially on two crucial 4th downs. 
The Bengals have another must-win game this Sunday as they travel to Cleveland to face a division rival. Joe Burrow has struggled against the Browns in his career but the Browns have had a horrible start to their season. 
We want to thank Cris for being a fantastic guest and for joining us today on In the Trenches with Dave Lapham brought to you by First Star Logistics.
