Last year I did it for losses as well; and for the most part, folks were not fans. So this year we will try something different. We will give out a goat for a loss.
Don’t view this as an attempt to slam to team. Vote for who you think performed the worst in the loss. As with the game balls I will not nominate coaches or teams.
So who gets the 1st ever game goat:
ANDY DALTON- Attempted 38 passes; only completing 22 for under 200 yards and 0 TDs. Long ball was especially off.
JEREMY HILL- Rushed for only 15 yards at 2.1 YPC.
AJ GREEN- Only 5 catches for 65 yards and a game ending fumble
TYLER EIFERT- When did Daniel Coats turn into a white TE? Only 3 catches on 7 targets.
ERIC WINSTON- JJ Watt’s latest punching bag.
REY MAUALUGA- Our MLB had only 2 tackles and Chris Polk’s foot print on his chest.
The offense was bad, very bad and the penalties just were unacceptable. It seemed almost every drive we had a 10 yard, 5 yard or multiple penalties.
As bad as others were, my vote goes to Eifert and not close. He dropped 3 first down passes and his blocking was atrocious.
AJ goes 2nd, he has fumbled away 2 potential game winners since week 17 a year ago.
I don't think anyway on defense should be considered as less than 300 yards and only 10 points is very good in the NFL.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
