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.

[Science Friction]

How do you not come prepared to play today? HOW?

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.

[Housh]

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

[QueenCity]

Bengals have to figure out why they can't win in their own division.

Or at least petition to move to the AFC South

I’m not sure Reader will play professionally again

[JumboTron]

Is it mandatory that we have to play our final two games?

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....

[Science Friction]

I don't even want turkey and dressing after this Grinch show.

[StoneTheCrow]

Always the Steelers *****. Except for like 12 minutes that one time. Goddamn

After throwing a couple hundred of them over the last 3 weeks.  No way the Steelers should see them coming...

G. Pickens does not NEED to block for anyone when he get 129 yards in first half!!
