Even with our non-existent defense against the run, we had opportunities to win.
AJ Green missed almost the whole 2nd half.
John Ross played like doo-doo
Hubbard should have had a fumble recovery.
Dre Stonehands dropped another pick
Shawn Williams got another costly penalty.
But the play that beat us, if we can narrow it down to one, was the holding call on Redmund. We were on our way to tying the game, but instead of being 1st and 10 inside their 20, it became 1st and 20 outside their 30. And then Never Mind the Bullocks missed the 53 yard FG.
You just can't play like that and expect to beat a team as good as Carolina. Still, we had a chance until John WTF Ross seemed to quit on his route and let the Panthers have another INT.
I hope Marvin gave them an ass-chewing.
No they should not have won. Dre always drops picks, AJ usually a phantom player for large chunks of games even when in there,, Ross has NEVER shown to be anything different up to this point, Williams is a terrible S as it is and always gets penalties, and Hubbard fumble recovery attempt is just the way it bounces.. There's a reason the ball is not round. I'll add in a clueless coaching staff in knowing how to utilize TO's as it cost them big-time at the end of the 1st half. So with all that said why should they have won? If these were one-time miscues your post would make sense.
Bottom line this team played D like a HS team and they let a little scat-back who is primarily a receiver just torch them kike he's an all pro player..
Bengals lost exactly how they should have..
