The fact that we were even in it is a testament to both the players and coaches not folding. And of course Taylor didn't throw a horrid interception to completely shut the door.
Like most losses, just two or three moments of the game where if the ball bounces the other way we might have come out with a win. Consolation prizes suck, but at least it wasn't like the Browns game where we just got absolutely steamroller for 4 quarters or like years past where the team would have folded after going down 24-0.
I'm not seeing the rosy no quit outlook on this. We got in a hole early, and mostly dug out way out and then watched the Chargers pull away again.
If the game ended 24-22 I'd agree, but all the Bengals did was close the gap in the 3rd quarter and then totally flop in the 4th. It beats quitting in the first half, but I feel like we are setting the bar a bit low here.
