This team will bounce back once pieces are rearranged.

I've been a fan for 50 years. Every year ended horribly.

Luckily I've been a Reds fan. So many glorious victories with the Reds.  

Bengals -- not a single one.

5 catches for 89 yards is shut down?

We've known that too damn many times, unfortunately.  

Meh, I've bore two scars for 33 years, guess I'll have to learn to bear three.

Don’t think Burrow threw it for the hell of it. Receiver was held

Chase was not shut down. Burrow never had a chance to deliver the deep ball to him.

Who in the **** cares about Whitworth. He isn’t a Bengal and **** him. I could care less about the Walter Payton player of the year

Yeah.. I wanted him to get TDs. .those count.

My issue with Taylor is the short yardage runs without Mixon. I don’t care if it’s 3rd and 1 Mixon has to get the ball or play action with Mixon. Also it just seems to me when the Bengals need ball control, the play calling is still trying to get chunks. Burrow dropping back for slow developing plays. And nobody seems to break off routes when blitzed—no hot receiver?

Perine on 3rd and 1 is just baffling for me

I ain't mad. Our boys showed up.

But to call a game loosely for 3.75 quarters and then throw a flurry of flags at the end chaps my ass.

As long as we have Burrow we have a chance. Get an oline this offseason. Good things to come in Cincy.

What a season. Tough to lose the big one again, but this team has a bright future.

Spot on man. x2 to everything you said. From the silly blame the refs nonsense to a fun next few years.

This blows but exceeded my wildest expectations for this team.

We lost by 3 in a close one. I can live w that based on where we have been for so many years.

Get an OLine and we will be competitive for years.

You’re definitely the worst poster on here. You make no sense at all and are wayyyy too emotional.

This is just stats for stats sake. 75 yards of those were on a play which shouldn't have stood. The Chase big play was fortunate on the coverage. Of course, it still could've been caught but we'll never know.

He did absolutely nothing from Stafford's INT onwards. But before you throw a fit at me, the serious lack of protection for him was a major contributor to that. 

Burrow will be back, but we're kidding ourselves if we think he played great today. He'll learn from the experience, that I'm very sure of.

You've lost your mind.  A LOT of free agents will want to be a part of this.

Breaking News: People who do not have the maturity to handle their emotions should be on medication. It's sports, you don't win every game. Not being able to handle not getting your way reminds me of a bunch of millenials.

I know a lot of you guys are upset. But we are really lucky to have such a young team that will compete every year for Super Bowls. Just fix the oline and we can win next year.

Tell me about it, I felt they would sneak in this year as a WC, but to end up in the SB???? Didn't see that one coming.

Fix that OL and we are right there.

He should have played more slants.... after the 5th sack, it was obvious the Oline was not gonna do it.
