Defense, no Defemse. Your not going to win many AFCN games losing the turnover battle.

The horrific Zac/Lou record against the AFC North alone should get them both canned.

Pickens absolutely was on his way down before CTB semi grabbed the back of his helmet.  No question about that.

Lol yeah......stick with Brown over Burrow, Chase, and Higgins

The part killing me about the sucky season is that the young players on defense seem to be busts to average talent at best. It reminds me the awful 1990s are still very real because the Bengals don't have a properly run front office ensuring the best players possible are on the field. They just don't operate like most the league.

You're not going to win many games period giving up over 500 yards of offense and 40+ points regardless of turnovers.

Clock management was atrocious. That's all on Zac.

Overall, our offense put on a good show. But it's tough to win when your offense gives up 40+ pts.

I hated the play calling a lot tonight. This dink and dunk shot hasn't worked and it never will. Why do we keep on doing it? I get that some plays don't developed as expected, so you have no choice. But a lot of that BS was called in.

Lol Burrow will be able to count those guys on two hands.  The rookie in the learning stages got completely walked away from after he got burnt.  You can blame getting burnt on inexperience, but speed is speed....either you have it or you don't.

If Zac isn't gone it's going to affect my enthusiasm for next year. I may become a causal fan instead of hardcore fan. If the organization isn't emotionally invested why should I be?

Top 5 QB?  Who has been better statistically this year?  Serious question because I don't know.

I'm saying a run game closes out games and helps the defense by being on the field less. I'm not saying we abandon the pass completely elite offenses are balanced. Don't include Tee he is as good as gone. I would like the organization to get with the times and no longer franchise players as well. It's an antiquated system for a 1 year rental where the player isn't all in. Last 3 times we have used this it's been a dumpster fire if a player doesn't want to be here let him go.

I believe Taylor is now 11-23 vs the AFCN.

Get him outta here.

Effort and ability are two different things.

Does getting an A for effort sound familiar.  lol.

These dudes didn’t make it to the NFL without the ability to tackle. It’s absolutely effort. Geno Stone prime example wanted no part of trying to tackle in the cold today.

They still have the message board closed?

Guess you all missed where he explicitly said, "It's an honour/something to come out and play for this team, these guys and this city and I'm looking forward to keep doing that," did you?

Sorry excuses for fans, all of you losers.

Glad I haven't been on here consistently for a few weeks, this place has turned into a massive bitchfest.

Are all of your lives that miserable that you need to come on here and whine and complain for hours? Get a hobby or better yet, a life.

Im guessing Bengalholic passed out after the game without turning it back on?  Or he is just as disgusted as we are and sees no reason why anyone would want to discuss this shit show....

This is a 90s level defense with an MVP QB and MVP WR.

Someone else said this, but its like putting Manning and Harrison on the 0-16 Browns.

They know everyone will go nuclear on the Bengals and giving everyone a chance to cool down.

Yep. I think the narrative that Burrow is going to want out right away is bunk.

Most that would happen is he gets some coaches fired.

He's not going to give up after a bad season.

I suppose we could discuss all of the accomplishments of Justin Trudeau that have benefited Canada?  Although Im not sure how long that would take....?

I wonder if they're practicing too soft...particularly in camp too.

But, overall we don't have guys that want to hit. A guy like Burgict would help this teams mentality. We don't have that guy.
