1 player did not put the season on life support. If we were that great, the game wouldn't have mattered.

I was gonna say he caught a case of the "Trae Waynes".

At least we don't have to worry about him being on the field anymore. It's only a shoulder. I'm sure he will be fine. Baker out there with half his body parts in tact .. I like how a guy  in here threw gay slurs at me and no one said anything but this is tasteless.. lol

Every game matters.... If we fall short, I blame the niners , Jets and Packers games.. Beat ourselves in everyone of them...

Still tasteless.

The team beat themselves. Not 1 man.

Those 10 points off Phillips fumbles definitely got them beat... Huge momentum and point swing..

Everyone gets that. Your missing the point. Just because a player messes up, its no reason to want, celebrate, embrace an injury to that player. Specially when he's on your team. He may have sucked this year and sucked in that game, but dude, it's a persons health and career.

It's a shoulder I'm sure he will be fine.. It's his playing that's gonna end his career. Dude doesn't do anything right.. I'm not glad he got hurt, just that he won't hurt the team anymore. He wasn't gonna play either way..

Anyone with any football knowledge knows the Special Teams coach gets the bottom of the roster players to play special teams, and that his "team" is often determined week to week by other roster concerns. Simmons is one of the best ST coaches in the league.

Look at his recent post history.  This is par for the course with this guy.

He's set to hit FA after the season.
Him being on IR means he's out for at least 3 games out of the remaining 4.
It basically accomplishes the same.

I don't believe you can release a player during the season because they get hurt.

Apparently he has a significant shoulder injury and had it before the fumbles.  Great idea having him out there.  I swear the positioning of his feet on the first one was so bad.  I wondered if a certain representative from a certain family out west didn't pay him a TON of money to blow this game.  

Still makes me grind my teeth.  

[TecmoBengals]

If he's released, don't they still owe him his money? Thus, the better professional move is to transition him to IR and then let him go in free agency. Maybe the IR designation gives the franchise some grace with future player personnel matters such as free agency.

Bottom line, the outcome needs to be he no longer returns a punt for the Bengals.

Those points came early, and the momentum swung back the Bengals way in the 4th QTR.  Why don't you blame the defense that allowed the 10 points?  They held the 49ers to a field goal on the first fumble they should have done it the 2nd time.  Why don't you blame Vonn Bell for a taunting call that led to points and more lost time on the clock?  Why aren't you blaming Ja'Marr Chase for dropping a pass in the end zone?  Why aren't you blaming Jessie Bates for dropping an interception that should have led to a pick 6 or at least field goal range field position?  Why aren't you blaming Evan McPherson for missing a field goal that if they had those points would have won the game in regulation?

To blame 1 player is ridiculous and unfair. They ALL contributed to the loss.  We saw him injured on that first muff and yet he still came back and tried again with that shouldn't that very well could have caused the 2nd muff

[CJD]

They probably did this to save him the indignity of cutting him after a game that was lost due primarily to his plays in the game.

I have my doubts that he's actually injured.

[Bengalitis]

IR saves you from getting released without pay? yeah?

This was one thing that really irritated me.
It's a pretty simple rule - Don't do your action directly at/over an opposing player.
I know that refs aren't always consistent with calling these, but it's so easy to play it safe and not direct something at the opposing player directly.

With that said, I think taunting is a dumb rule. Let the players taunt each other. I get it's to help keep someone from taking offense to the taunt and injuring someone as a result, but these are adults and professionals. You are expected the be able to handle someone taunting at you without retaliation.

It probably doesn't even really matter much at this point.
After having his best season in spot duty at nickel CB in 2019, he ended up getting put on the bench in 2020 until injuries occurred.
And he's back on the bench primarily this year too.

I can't imagine him not choosing to leave in FA to get more opportunity to play defense.

Did Bell ever discuss the penalty? I haven’t heard anything he said but my first thought was he was only pointing at the 49er to tell him not to hit him (bell). Bell picked up the ball and ran but the refs blew the whistle. Mack or whoever it was ran at Bell like he was going to tackle him.

Taunting a lineman by pointing at him when the two of you had no contact on the play doesn’t make a lot of sense.
