No thank you Lou has some really great defenses in Cincy. I would look at the DL first outside of Hendeickson they are underpreforming for the money they are being paid.

Who do you want to see win the SB?
I want to see the Bills or Fins get one
I find Josh Allen super annoying. I'd take the Fins, since I live in CLE I really don't want the Browns to win but if they did I would laugh my ass with Flacco winning one with BAL and then CLE.

If Browning just flat out sucked and has no TOs we’d still be down 17 at LEAST
This is just a bad game
We have no direction w/o Reader
We are gonna have to find an answer at IDL because no way we can resign Reader

Gonna have to play out of their minds rest of the game. Browning can't make any more mistakes and the defense has to hold up.
Oh man, not feeling good about chances of that.
2nd and short screen for a loss (hell, repeated screens for a loss) was the biggest impact on that drive.

There is no "but" today. Offense and defense both have sucked something awful. It was a full blown terrible first half equally by both sides of the ball.

Feel like Jessie Bates has a legit claim to 1/2 of Lou’s career earnings in Cincy

Bengals have to figure out why they can't win in their own division.
Or at least petition to move to the AFC South

When has Lou had a really great defense in Cincinnati? I don't recall them

How are you getting that math when they have 14 points off of turnovers?

Yah but hopefully with backups to avoid injuries into offseason and to not drop any lower in the draft.

I think it was more the non-tackling and the two INTs even more than the play calling. Coaching sucks but players gotta play good. Zac didn’t miss the tackle and give up a 80+ yard TD or throw two terrible INTs. He did call that fourth down pass but if his players don’t get them down by 3 scores he probably just kicks the FG.

EVERY rout by Shittsburgh is horrible. But yeah...this one stings purrrty bad. Definitely not a Gold Star season for the Stoolers.
But we're matching them "not Gold Star season" JUST fine, so....
