Bynes, Pratt, and Bates

2. It was primetime under the Mike Brown era, we all know what that means.

3. Anarumo is no Zimmer or even Guenther for that matter. Once the latter left, the D has been going downhill ever since.

4. This may be the end of Dunlap's exceptional playing days and without him you're left with the above average, but spotty Hubbard and Lawson on the ends.

5. Bates is above average and rising as well, but still young. Same thing with Pratt for that matter. Bynes is getting older by the week and comes with inconstancy, also see points 1 and 2.

6. Zac Taylor is a terrible HC from what he's shown in leading the Bengals. Someone said "Shula Jr. 2.0" last week, I can't disagree.

7. Bro, we're the Bengals, Murphy may as well be our GM and his way is law. There's no such thing as luck or curses but there is entropy and we're only getting colder and further apart.

Not that the other points are not valid (the are) but I chose to focus on #3.  Does anyone think Zimmer would have allowed that effort from his defensive line last night?  He would have been eating his mask.  It is unacceptable to lose based on effort.  I don't care what you are paid.  The effort by his defense was atrocious and I hold Anarumo responsible for that.
