Had a horrible feeling about this game once I knew we were going against the great White. I don’t know wtf the deal is with this team, for the past 20 years we make backups look like hall of fame QB’s. It’s so frustrating. The wail be his nic name from here on The Great White, well until next looks like a backup against any team next week not named The Bengals.

And yes, the line is still an issue.

Line still needs work and Carman got hurt today. No reason for the FO not to make a deal this week before the deadline to add some talent there.

You probably count me in that group, but I guarantee I did not want them to lose.

At what point do you blitz a QB who is destroying you when you are getting virtually no pressure with the front 4? I guess guys not until it is too late. Defensive play calling and execution was putrid at best. It looked like the Bengals figured just showing up and going through the motions were enough today. Tackling was pathetic.

It's the same team that shellacked Baltimore, but they took their lumps today. They can either come back strong or fold.

Remember several years ago when the Bungles started off 8/9-0....and how that season ended???? I know where I'm placing my bets.

I'm going to watch the Blue Jackets for a bit, have a bite to eat, help the wife set up for Halloween and hand candy out to the kids.  Oh, and not watch football the rest of today.

The offense put up over 30 points, the defense forgot to get off the bus. It's that simple. If you look at the amount of time the D has been on the field this year, they need the bye week coming up after the Browns.

Jets are a awful team maybe worst in NFL literally their are 3 guys max that could start on a top 10 roster. They were down starting QB WR T. Garbage defense that couldn't simply scheme for 2 decent DT's pathetic

Remember when the Jets beat the Titans in oT and the Titans proceeded to lose the rest of their games especially against the Bills and Chiefs? Oh, wait, that didn't happen.

Calm down. Yes, we should absolutely have beaten the Jets. Yes, we absolutely played horribly. But, to say that THIS game has more meaning than any one of or all of the other games combined, is just stupid. 

Me? I'm going to temper my optimism that was emboldened by last week's win until we see how we do against the Browns next week. ANd then go from there.

[Sled21]

I see the usual cast is jumping ship...lol

[grampahol]

If I were Zack Wilson I'd demand a trade before the deadline..He'll sit behind White unless White crumbles along the way.

Would it have mattered in this game, I didn't think so, but it obviously did. I'm not one of the doom and gloom guys. You will give up yards and points, but it was very bad and we should have not even been that close.

I hear ya.  In all fairness, I said we'd end up winning a game we shoulda/coulda lost and come out stinking like a rose.

what you mean 11-27-1 ? i just lost my appetite  after this game. what a joke. 

[Clark W Griswold]

Next 4 games will be tough so we will see what these guys have.
I’m not optimistic to say the least. We are all hoping history doesn’t repeat itself.

[Essex Johnson]

A young team and staff first time facing being in 1st and it seemed we struggled but had it under control up 11 late but it's the NFL, there are not scrubs playing , every week or two these games seem to happen in NFL..the difference is rebounding, win at home go 3 -0 in Division 6-3 at break and we have still put yourself in position to compete.. it is a 17 game season NOT a game season

No self respecting defense gives up that much offense to a backup with no deep ball. And Burrow with his usual INT right when it hurts the most - not a legit NFL winning QB.

Burrow is a legit QB who will end up being the best QB in Bengal history statistically if Cincy can keep him.  The interception.......that play is designed for an immediate turn and throw.  The o lineman got pushed back so fast it allowed the defender to get his hand on the throw.  Burrow threw it but ultimately in was the  o lineman that caused that play to get blown up

[Timanky12]

Defense didn’t change anything all day. Jets threw 5 to 7 yard passes all day and receivers were wide open.

[sloSTI]

While the Bengals didn't deserve to win, they deserved at least a shot at an attempt, if it wasn't for the terrible call at the end

Any team can win "any given Sunday".. That saying has been around for a very long time for a reason and it's never gonna go away.
