That’s not gonna do it.  

Hope you all got it out of your system last year and didn’t indoctrinate your children in the process.

Hell, last year we were so good I had kids just so I could expose them to the joys of being a Bengals fan...it seemed so endless.

And this defense has blown three save chances AND the Superbowl. They are NOT elite!!!

fell like the unit that is stinking the large majority of the time should get way more blame here

The offense makes the defense have to play perfect to win.

bengals defense has been carrying the team all year

The offense drove to take the lead with less than 2 minutes. Defense folded…why is that so hard to understand?

The Ravens saw the Boyd pass coming. If he’s not tackled it gets intercepted.

The shovel pass was not as bad a call. Collins missed his assignment or that probably works. Either way we should have gone away from that with 3 points minimum.

Can you believe w e are only 1 game back?

I want to see the vaunted defense play perfect for four g**damn plays---  to hold a lead  ON A LAST DRIVE!!!

why is the joe burrow offense under performing for 90% of the game?

why does that get a pass? The defense plays elite for 90% of the game

you're not really grasping logic

[Tony]

1 thing is for sure, all this talent will be gone by the time this asshole is finally out of here.. Andy Reid wouldn't lose more than 3-4 games a year with this team. **** InhatenZac Taylor..

We are more than one game back. We lost the tiebreaker to the Rats and also a hyper important AFC game. Playoffs are now VERY unlikely.

The game was lost in the first Quarter. Can't go down 10 to start the game and expect to win against a team like Baltimore.

Because you act like the offense isn’t facing an NFL defense. They are not going to score every drive. Your “great” defense got burnt multiple times and if not for Lamar’s terrible accuracy they’d have given up at least 14 more.

Again what good does playing solid all game mean if they consistently give up the last drive for a loss. If you lose by 49 or 1 it’s still a loss. Maybe step up the last drive when you have the lead and close the damn game out.

Zac lost this game they will not win with this guy as HC, just like when we had a great team and Marvin lost every playoff game. They will waste all this talent with a terrible HC. First and goal from the two yard line 2 passes, reverse WR to QB pass that lost 10 yards. Are you serious, and then you don't kick the FG to tie the game. Look Mixon was running hard all night just pound it in. Zac is clueless. he will lose more game for this team than the players on the field do.

[TigerStripes]

Recurring theme.... "Collins missed his assignment...." Man has he been a HUGE disappointment thus far!!

The Cincinnati defense allows 16.4 points per game. That’s sixth best in the NFL.

I know Chase and Burrow critiques are off limits for you but you late to see Chase doesn't look like the dominant player he was last year....

the ravens defense isnt good. Bengals have a ton of talent on offense, and they're playing like the texans

if the texans had the bengals defense, they'd be 2-3
