Screw This Damn Franchise.

1. Screw Zac Taylor. This guy is a clown. He’s the worst head coach I’ve ever seen in my life. When sports fans watch at a bar and boast “I could do better than him!” they’re all correct. Every one. Even the guy bent over barfing up his hard seltzer. Every one. That douchebag was so bad today I actually felt like this was some huge practical joke.

2. Screw Roethlisberger and the Steelers. Dirty and thuggish, like always. And the NFL and that human twit Dean Blandino or Mike Pereira - whichever one of those wastes of carbon dioxide Herr Gööd Ahl pays to be the review officials’ Baghdad Bob. This game was a crime and it wasn’t even close to a top 5 level heist.

3. Screw Tony Brown. You freaking get on tik tok or something and at least have the balls to admit that you’re the worst DB that took a field today.

4. Screw this OL. They’re so, so bad.

5. Screw Lou Ambien. Zac Taylor is so awful he’s actually fooled people into thinking he’s good just from standing on the same sideline as that walking, breathing diaper full of sour big macs marinated in possum breast milk.

6. Screw Joe Burrow. I love him. Probably his 2nd biggest fan. But he was awful today and his pocket presence is getting worse as we go. But the worst thing is that he is not at all immune to reverting to total ***** mode at the very sight of a Steeler uniform.

7. Screw Alex Erickson. He made sure this was going to be every Bungles/Steelers game we’ve ever seen. Why is he here??

8. Screw me. I’m the worst. I let them do this to me.

It's an expected reaction after seeing the Bengals play an actual contender, just like they did the Ravens.
Going into this game, you had to wonder if the Bengals were finally turning a corner or if it was a mirage.
Turns out, it was a mirage.

The biggest thing for me is, once again, the completely terrible pass rush.
Why do you have your best pass rusher dropping back into coverage?
Also, why so much zone coverage?
Zone sucks if you can't get to the passer.

Some may point to all the people out to injury, but the defense has never looked dominant, so I don't have confidence that they will be magically good with Reader and Waynes healthy either.

The Bengals also really need XSF back, and he needs to replace Redmond immediately.
Jonah and Hart back would help too.
I'd have to go back and look (I stopped watching after Bengals went down big), but did Jordan play well? Or does he need to be replaced by Spain?
