Also, when you take D-lines line Cincinnati and Denver, it's impossible to expect them to hold up and protect all night. I thought both lines did quite a good job last night, in-comparison to what they were facing.
If the Bengals o-line effort would be like that against every team, it would be fine. You're facing the best d-line in the NFL, in a loud, road environment with high altitude and a backup QB. To say they lost the game is stupid.
Other small things like terrible use of timeouts, inability to down a single punt inside the 20 and lack of discipline/tackling was the downfall.
