True...it started on a bad note and ended on a bad note and had some bad notes in the middle there, too.  At least it was insane.

Especially when said “buddy” can’t stand them.

Both lines sucked as well as supporting cast on and off the field. Just hope we’re past this now, but damn that didn’t look good. How are our lines worse?

Truthfully......if this loss weren't to the frikkin Squealers it wouldn't be as bad..........for any of us. It was a horrendous loss but it being against the Squealers adds that little extra to it.

The loss is bad because it is a Conference AND Division game. ALL games like that are hyper critical. Now at Dallas is a must win game.

i know i know cause hes superman in your eyes. but reality is like i said many times things that keepin him from being elite yet are still there. not throwing ball aqay, making bad decisions, holding on to long, wanting to play hero ball. hopfully he can clean it up

Looks like Watt is out for the year. Early reports are torn pec.

Very true, but, as a fan, wouldn't it sting a little less if it weren't against the squealers?

Every time overtime starts that's the first thing that comes to mind for me. It's almost impossible to think they can't do it with Burrow and Chase but it's almost like there's this weird franchise mentality that goes "just get into FG range". 

Weird.

A Terryl Austin defense at that..

I thought him missing significant time in TC from the surgery was a “fact.”

Anyway, Burrow started slow last year, too.

Well both SB teams and QB’s have looked like shit so far. What’s the combined ints 8. Insane.

True, but with that many sacks and turnovers, you’re not expected to win.

But it’s a divisional loss. Could be huge at the end of the year.

Ouch that hurts…Chiefs safety Reid kicked an XP and a kickoff due to have a hurt kicker. We can’t make an XP or chip shot fg because of losing our long snapper. Honest to God how does a long snapper get hurt and who the hell snapped that punt to Huber?

[TKUHL]

Looked like a Marvin Lewis team out there today. Not trying to knock coach Lewis but they didn’t look prepared at all.

Ya. That was on Huber. Any bad snap he should have just held onto and try again on 4th down.

Right? A guy whose profession is Center can't snap the ball to someone kneeling, 7 yards away, but a 3rd string TE can?

Wilcox wasn't just bad. He was terribad and an assist goes to Huber for not falling on the high snap in OT and trying again. 

Not a whole lot of situational awareness from this team today...
