It ISN'T a great game unless they win.
And saying things like "we're improving" or "we will be in the conversation soon" is the same crap Bengals fans have suffered with for over 30 years. We're ALWAYS "improving" but NEVER "arrive". Meanwhile wasted season after wasted season goes by and the long suffering fanbase grays more with no reward for their support.
If forced to claim "positives"....
Chase was a beast as usual.
Hendrickson had 2 sacks.
Awuzie was good.
Claiming anything positive out of yesterday is for losers and guys that never did anything on a team except pass out and open up the capri sun pouches after the game. NOTHING came out positive. Yes, the D held their own most of the game but they gave up huge plays on not wrapping up. The OL pass-blocking is a mess and so inconsistent. Very lucky TD at the end of the half yesterday, too.
The difference between the best and worst teams many many weeks comes down to a handful of plays at most per game. Each team can whine about calls from refs. I can point out that the holding on a Burrow run that negated a 1st down inside the GB 30 and forced them to punt cost them at least 3 points and the tripping call cost them another 3 as GB came down and scored after getting stopped on 3rd down. Anybody think those 2 guys who got those penalties are happy and saying "we gave it our all"? Hell, freakin' no. GB flat-out controlled both LOS's and to say they only lost by 3 in OT and be happy about it or use it as a barometer is ignorant.
