Thanks to a piss poor pass 

ATP Irwin returning punts is point shaving

Each of these last few 3rd down stops, the player has been open, Herbert has just missed them.
If we come back back and win this game, it will have had nothing to do with our defense actually stepping up. It will have been a choke job by Herbert.

Who'd have thought playing younger, faster guys on defense instead of guys who get beat constantly would make a difference...

Irwin needs to stop returning punts. It’s safer when he signals for a fair catch.

Maybe that is why Irwin always runs sideways.

Do you understand the Bengals?

Our secondary would make good prostitute jokes.

How do we allow that with so many back?

Don’t care if he dropped it it’s not good enough.

Because most don't know wtf they're doing.  Chalk it up to miscommunication.

I can’t figure out how the Bengals are going to rip my heart out tonight. I know it’s coming, the suspense is killing me.

so.. can Burrow and co. seal the deal here now?

I stopped watching at half. Missed the comeback.

Have seen the D get 2 stops and the missed FG by us.

I think I should stop watching. Total jinx.

Don’t count on a FG, better get that TD

Burrow is elite. This team still sucks pretty bad.

While it's true on the 3rd downs they have been playing alot tighter coverage than whatever that 1st half was.

You have to credit this D. They stepped up. Herbert has missed a lot of throws but that doesn’t mean our guys don’t deserve some attaboys.

This unit is almost always horrifying. Give them credit when they’re not.
