We have lost every good matchup this year and won the easier matchups. This team needs to improve. The offense needs to move the ball more to take pressure off the defense.

If we keep getting outcoached in even matchups we need to think about what we’re doing. On the plus side at .500 we are within reach and will have a shot at the playoffs.

Yep. And we feast on bad defenses.

Definitely put his hands on him, but he definitely didn't push him either.

Short week we will find out if we have leaders on this team to step up overcome injuries etc and get a win at home Sunday and get us to bye week

That TD was nice, but it could have been a 0 yard pass to Mixon.

Amazing what happens when you actually involve your great receivers

Naw, I jumped on in 2005.

And forgets our last 15 prime time road games.

They should've been testing the CBs all damn game.

Zac = Nope

Agree, a little too late to do what they should have been doing the entire time

Started as S Nebraska but moved to CB his final year from what I gathered scouting him during draft season

The Bengals have yet to beat a team with an above average pass rush in the Zac Taylor era.

They played bad defenses and coaches who refused to go cover 2.

The Falcons defense was decimated.

[Bilbo Saggins]

Let's not get all touchy-feely here. I don't know if these Bengals players are even safe when they're laying down on the bench.

PFF doesn't grade the line well.

I think the Bengals have tried 2 passes over 20 yards. Both complete

Outcoached, you are right. They got behind so badly because they didn’t even try to establish a run game. Pretty easy to play defense when you know what the other team is doing. I hate this offensive playbook so bad.

I know. Was joking about the argument that the line is improving.

[jfkbengals]

EM with 2 misses and a flag. Wouldn't have expected that one.

[Destro]

We lost 3 games with Chase, too. And that includes two teams that have those same QBs on the bench. This is not a successful team, with or without Chase.
