It was everyone. Burrow with two picks. D like got gashed. Very little pressure. This was an absolute shitshow by everyone

Browns winning adds insult to injury. Bengals need to think about the draft now.

Yep. Losing sucks.
But, I think we're going to see that Stroud is an elite QB.

Disagree. Run the ball and force the timeouts that way. Mixon could get the TD too. The first play call is what put us behind the 8ball by allowing a sack. The QB draw on the 2nd play? Lol what? Yeah Boyd needed to catch that ball

Won’t overreact still in it. Nick Scott blows Battle can’t be worse , Awuzie looks lost I know he’s coming off the ACL but looks confused half the time. Run d atrocious, hope Hendrickson is ok because we got no pass rush.

I’m looking forward to moving on from Boyd and Mixon when the time comes. They just feel too connected to those loser years. I know Hubbard goes back to those teams, too, but at least he makes clutch plays in huge games, and seems like a good leader.
Those other two can **** off right outta town.

Literally a lose lose unless it was a TD with you people. Blame Boyd for not catching what should have been the easiest TD catch of the day. After getting run down and not scoring before.
To be fair to Boyd, the throw was a little high and behind. Catchable but not Burrow’s best.

I don’t see this team making playoffs which I think is a good thing
Fix some holes on the O line in the off season, somehow get another pass rusher and enjoy that last place schedule in 2024.
I would add to this by going all out to fix the run game. Worst in the league and it isn't getting better. Keep fixing the o-line and a get a whole new stable of backs. It can't get any worse.

Stroud had a good day sort of but he also had almost no pressure and the defense's total inability to actually track and react in zone meant receivers were always WIDE open. And we also couldn't stop a bad running attack.

True but a mega shit show by our o and d lines and Taylor going to sleep on plays called in first half after first drive.
We are very weak on both lines compared to the teams we want to beat. Hell compared to all teams.

We were into this because the defense made a pick, That Mixon ran in, by the way!!
Then forced a punt on the next series, where the offense pooped the bed again.
Idk about play one, but play two made sense. Either forces another timeout or burns the clock. The draws with Burrow have been working well lately. Then "Idiot Play #3" was an absolute perfect play call that got a wide open receiver and time for Burrow to throw a dime. Plently to blame Zac for, but that sequence was not it. Boyd catches that and we all celebrate. Or we tackle Brown on the last play to force a 50+ yarder instead and we probably go to OT.

Screw Burrow for not getting the TD on that genius QB keeper ZT called before that.
