Don't blame one single player , this team was playing the Patriots, and we all know that they have a way of making plays, gaining yards, and then scoring. How many INT's did this team give up? Why has this team lost all of them, except for one? It has been a terrible losing season. Lets just get through these next two games and start off fresh after this season.

I've used the analogy before as have others but it still fits. Blaming Erickson for losing this game is about like blaming the helmsman for sinking the Titanic.
If I was going to blame one player it would be the guy that threw 4 and 1/2 interceptions.
But the bottom line is the Patriots get it done and we don't, there's no mystery about who was going to win.

We're kind of back to the 90's Bengals where after a loss you could name like 2 Bengals that played well enough to win. Usually 1 was Dillon.

I'd actually blame the dumbass 4th and inches play call from the shotgun as the beginning of the end before erickson. He was obviously interfered with but the Bengals aren't going to get those call against the Patriots.
Thats if I was blaming anything other than we're just a pathetic football team in every aspect disregarding some individual efforts.
