Jets offense looks really good. Fast RB, accurate QB. We've had a lot of good turnovers, without those who knows what this score would be.

I get it the other guys get paid too but they need to raise their level of play if they want to be a contender.

Oh, sure, the Bengals SHOULD win this game. Before the game started, the Bengals had an 81% chance to win. That 19% was still a possibility, though. It's still an NFL team. If the Bengals lose, that doesn't mean they aren't contenders by itself. 

Jets playing like they're fired up that they were 11 point home dogs.

They're showing a lot of fight, and we look dumbfounded.

Haha  You will spin anything wont you?  Im not happy at all with the performance thus far, but Im glad you are.

They are winning on the score board only. Fortunately, that's ultimately all that matters. But so far, they're getting absolutely schooled by a really bad football team.

Maybe there wasn't enough tape on this guy for the Bengals D to study?

You don’t blow out every bad team you play on the road unless you’re the 2007 Patriots. The Bengals will have to earn it.

They've been outplayed and yET ARE STILL WINNING THE GAME. Explain how it's embarrassing to be outplayed yet still have the lead? Unless ou mean, it's embarrassing for the Jets? I know Tony didn't mean that, but what about you?

I would not be surprised to see us outscore them 35-0 in the second half.

I would also not be surprised if we dick around and lose this game.

Too many fans think the last two games were the only ones the Bengals have played this year.

Thankfully, our odds of running into the Jets in the playoffs are slim. 

When we’re inside the 3, tell Taylor to stop being cute, put Burrow under center, and give it to Chase going downhill towards the end zone or play action like that!

You can’t run from the gun at the goal line!

If the Bengals lose to the Jets, then they are NOT contenders. Contenders don't lose these games...

After halftime, the Bengals have an 83% chance of victory via PFR, 73% via numberFire LIVE and 63% via nflfastR. Interesting numbers, but still good chances.

We're not covering. 

On the bright side, we've been a 2nd half team all year, and we're up by 3 at the half.

R-E-L-A-X

Ah yes. This is the Boomer Bowl.

So you'd be fine if we were dominating all game but were losing? Somehow I think you'd still be complaining.

They do all the time.

They are getting beat by an UFDA QB on the exact same play over and over again. It is embarrassing.

Michael Carter is very fast.  I watched him for three years at UNC and he can fly.  Very shifty too
