No win.
It would have been unreasonable had people complained about the FG, when we have one of the best kickers in the game. But I get your point.
Still hate the playcall when we have done nothing on the ground all day.

Damn near so as long as McPherson has a long snapper and isn't in Green Bay.

Yeah that was weird. Thought he had some sort of play then he just threw it at the goal post.

You’re writing fictional accounts in your mind.
The call to go was defensible. I had no problem with it.
Running a short, slow sweep to the short side of the field is lunacy.

Failed 4th down turns into a 6 point swing.

Do we know how many times we ran 4th and 1 and got it though? I think that's why we have so many trick plays in short yardage.

It was piss poor blocking.
Everyone yells "be aggressive" until they are and fail.
What if they don't convert the FG?

Jets kick their FG and are only down by 2 scores, and why Bengals should have kicked their FG. This Game is far from over, and that is Dumb because a McPherson FG would have sealed the deal.

While true, it's important to mention that the Jets are massively running out of time to mount this comeback. Not turning that into 7 points was a big miss from the Jets perspective. One more FG from the Bengals and the Jets have to pretty much score a TD on every drive.

True, but IIRC they were down 13 to Browns with 2 minutes to go and won in regulation.
