Pin the tail on the donkey

Believe it was a team loss with enough blame to go around but would say the conservative play calling at the end was not helpful at all.

The run play right before the 57 yard FG attempt is a good example. For one it leaves Rogers enough time to try and score if missing or even if making, plus 57 yard FG's are not ever a given. Hated to see the miss and thought it was dead center until the very end. Would have liked to try and get the first down to obviously get closer and most importantly evaporate the time for Rogers to work a miracle.

Then found it odd that down by 8 with (I think) 10 minutes to go we acted like we were winning by 8 and trying to exhaust the clock ? Every play we were running play clock down to last seconds before snapping. Why I am not sure because we seemed to be putting all our eggs in one basket counting on a TD and 2 point conversion and would have liked to have seen more urgency with a hurry up offense at this juncture.

Kudos to the offense for gettin TD and conversion though or it would have been a more obvious mistake.
Not sure if it was Burrow or Zac orchestrating this strategy but has to ultimately be the HC's decision.

Not really wanting to heap a ton of blame on anybody in this strange game though so abstaining from voting although believe its obvious which way I am leaning lol.

Think Bengals will learn from this one, but now must face the task of taking care of business on the road now to get this thing back on the rails.
