I'm sick to my stomach living in Baltimore with a diehard core of afc north fanatics;they won't let me dismiss the fact that we're winless in the division and honestly I can't blame them..I have a cousin that's a steelers fan I wouldn't answer her calls after the game because I had to cool down 1st, but her words were damn cuz are yall win any afc north game any time soon??

That hurt like a gut punch,but to twist the knife even deeper she said you guys have a college football defense ;she said I know we got 2 easy wins next year smdh..I knew the defense was bad but I didn't know we was this bad, bengals fans I don't think this is a quick fix unfortunately..

After tonight's game there's officially no doubt in my mind the league is scripted. "Rudolph" winning on Christmas weekend and it was the anniversary of the immaculate reception. Couldn't have scripted it any better !

Lou anarumo is terrible, the organization has given him all the talent he's asked for since he got here..1st rd picks myles Murphy, dax Hill, 2nd round picks cam Taylor britt, dj turner, 3rd rnd picks Jordan battle, Germaine Pratt, Logan Wilson Joseph ossia..free agents trey Hendrickson, dj reader, Mike Hilton and von bell basically saying this defense has talent all over the place but stinks really really bad..

This coaching staff won't produce not one frickin win in the division this is a sad day to be a bengals fan, can't believe we're the only team in the league that Pittsburgh can move the ball against this is so frickin embarrassing I don't have the words, dj turner can't play the position fundamentally, slants and ins are his worst nightmare it's like literally the same route every week that beats him..we need to make a big splash defensively in the off-season I'm tired of Hubbard cam sample, Zac Carter and all the rest of guys that can't get any pressure honestly..


I hope someone hires lou so we can get a coordinator who holds guys accountable no reason we should be this bad this late in the season this is absolutely unacceptable,Pittsburgh can't move the ball against anyone else besides us, in 2 games against them we've given up 3rd and 9,11,12 14 ,16,and 17 twice absolutely unacceptable and I don't want to hear excuses this late in the season thought I would see some kind of improvement but I guess there's none to be made..

He's gonna waste Burrow and Chase's career, just Like Marvin Did Carson and Ocho. Sad part is, we all know it's gonna happen and there's nothing any of us can do about it..

Last year we gave up only 20ppg, Falcons 23 ppg.


This year the only team worst than us is the Commanders

Last year we were 6th in the league in points allowed.

Falcons so far are the 10th best D in the league in regards to yards allkwed



He went over there and changed the makeup of their D immediately



Someone in Cincy doesn’t know football










It’s all about Bates and Bell


Those are the only positions that had wholesale changes. Same exact d line, same linebackers, and only lost Eli Apple at CB.


It’s not a hard drawn out explanation. It’s easy.


We have Bates and Bell and we probably have a top 10
D again.

This decision has turned out to be the dumbest shit we’ve done transaction wise since Zac got here

Well, I didn’t see that coming. I’ve been a big speaker of losing out to secure a top 10 pick, once Joe went down. If we did, we probably would have been a top 3-5 pick.

So many teams are around 7 wins right now, if we lose out, which we will, we should end up around 12ish. Not bad. Browning made it fun until Christmas, and I guess that has some value to it. This team needs a lot of help. DT, RT, WR 2, WR 3, TE are all FA next year. We need another edge rusher and RB. Too many holes to fill. Even if we spend our $60M cap space on a RT + Higgins + TE, we still need a stud DT and DE.

Luckily no one is THAT good in the NFL so next year we’ll have a shot at the playoffs. But our “dominant” window is closed. We’re in phase 2: competitive team and anything can happen in the NFL playoffs type of team

818 yards total in the two games vs. the Steelers who were supposed to have one of the worst offenses in the league.

Seriously do yourself a favor forget about the turnovers the Bengals have forced this season. It's a combination of skill and luck I get it.

Look at everything else and you will see this is a bottom 3 unit in the NFL.

5,354 total yards against through 15 games is tied for 2nd worse in the league.

The FO needs to take a serious look at not only upgrading the defense next season but consider if Lou is the guy.

a surprise addition to the inactive list. Wilcox and Sample can block

What makes you the most nervous today with regard to overall impact of the game.

Watt vs Jonah<—-uggggg

Heyward & Highsmith vs our line

Porter on Tee

Pickens and Diontae vs Awuzie and —??

Who’s covering Freiermuth? <—-uggggggg

Their run game which has stalled lately but used to be potent vs our weak run D

At least, that's what Meatloaf said. And , in fact, it will make for a 10-win season and might be just enough to sneak us into the postseason fun. My question for all the fans here is this--- if you knew ahead of time that the Bengals will go 2-1 in the final three games but weren't told the outcome of the games , which two teams would you most want the wins to come against?
