Like Tee Higgins on offense.

All we asked was for them to come out and play sound defense; too much to ask apparently. There are real reasons they've hovered in the bottom tier of the league team defense this season and so far they are still doing them.

Yeah you’re gonna lose good players. Thought they could have kept Bell for what he signed for.

Of course Cesar, You are the expert but this secondary was a hello lot better with him. You want to argue with me about that

We get a mini bye this week, hopefully we get healthy.

[M.W.]

Browning has played much better than I thought he would, hope that continues.

What does that even matter at this point?

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Jake Browning will have to take a shot on this possession. We’re going to need seven, not three.

[Bengalfan4life27c]

Lamar dont look right either Picket might be last man standing

Bates gave up BOTH TDs in the AFCCG, he was NEVER a great tackler.  He had one great year.  For the money he wanted it would be STUPID to pay a safety that much.  I'd say we miss Bell as much or more.

Defense rankings wasn’t that great even before Hubbard went out. We are 3rd from the bottom in yards allowed per game. And it’s only going up after this game

Oh without a doubt

[TKUHL]

Who would have thought before the season the Texans would be in the playoffs, but not us. Ffs

[Bengalstripes9]

Lamar needs to throw one of his bonehead picks to swing the game.

Can’t wait for all the “hand/wrist” experts on Twitter just like we had the “calf” experts earlier on haha.

Eli Apple rose to the occasion in the playoffs. He was solid.

I'd rather see the Stealers take the division than the Rats. Sorry but this Rats team plays dirty and are classless. Stealers also play dirty but have at least SOME class. 

[jfkbengals]

Least penalized team in the league has 9 or 10 penalties. Seems to me that should draw attention to the officiating crew as well.

[BengalsLUFC]

The lads are trying their best.

It’s a much closer game if Mac had made that kick we are still moving ish on offence.

I’m not giving up yet.
