The real answer is we were running into the teeth of their defense rather than attacking the edge of it where we actually had success.
I wish The Bengals would look at the play Mixon got blown up on up the middle. They will see it is not just a second or a split second. They break the huddle, line up, and then stand there for the longest time, and you can see it is Mixon up the middle, and then they snap it just before delay of game and it is Mixon up the middle, and Jets knock him BANG backwards hard sending him to the bench needing medical attention.
Now that play was too slow to get going, and it's already been stated on here that Bengals take more time to snap the ball than most NFL teams. The Bengals may think they are reading the defense, but on many plays against Jets it looked like the Jets defense was reading Bengals slow moving offense.
I repeat that Joe Burrow and Chase played at LSU in a fast moving offense. It is what Joe Burrow excels at. They are not getting the most of Joe Burrow if they are not going to go more up tempo style that he is great in. Now with a good lead late, I can see eating the clock, but that was not the case when they took all day and Mixon got blown up for it.
I wish The Bengals would go back and look at that play Mixon got clobbered on. They will see that they took so long to snap the ball, they might as well have yelled out to The Jets that it was going to be Mixon Up The Middle.
