You should have watched the 1st half and gone to the gym in the 2nd half. Lol

Iv been very fair in my posts today.
I don't remember all your posts, and the ones I do really weren't that bad but still some what over reactions. Obviously some people are absolute idiots with absurd takes/reaction and then disappear until next week when things are rough but I'm not comparing you to them.
Were in trouble in the Wildcard guys Ravens Cappa, who I believe was the target. Cappa has been amazing this year.
I think Zac told himself before this game started that he was gonna try and win it 100% If he switches now, then hed be going against his male ego
This is gonna be a hot week for Zac. That Cappa injury did not have to happen

The NFL sucked all the air out of the room by basically handing us the division on Friday. If we'd actually finished the Buffalo game and lost, then had this game turn out the same way, we're probably celebrating at this point. Celebrating more, I should say.

It doesn't quite work that way. Without that play, everything that happens afterward is done differently. In a closer game, maybe the Bengals have more of a sense of urgency. They don't just sleepwalk through the entire 2nd half.

Lou is as good as gone, I hope this ball pulling intensity continues.

Totally agree with your comment about ZT decision-making. They're going to have to commit to run the ball at some point.

Honestly, it's better that they have that ugly game to look at rather than a blowout. More focus.

Burrow was really bad today, a number of passes our receivers didn't even try to catch, game plan and play calling was head scratching and we still won. Next week needs to be better but Ravens sure aren't going to turn into a high octane offense overnight. Plus, as bad as Brown was to start he had a number of passes that were much better than Huntley or Jackson have made all year. 2nd half Brown may > Jackson/Huntley. Burn everything and start fresh next week. I believe!!

This!
Its like this whole 3rd string nonsense.
If Lame-mar would have been playing there would have been a lot more urgency in the room and a lot more energy. Just like Pissburgh use to do to us... Get a big lead and then hold on.

Positivity is not welcomed in game-day threads ser. Only overreactions/ doomsday is allowed .
We will hobble into next week, play uninspired and get whipped with a 24 point blowout .

Yeah, a win over a playoff bound team, a 59.5% completion rate, a 80.9 QB Rating, 215 yards, 1 TD with no interceptions is the definition of being "really bad." Stay clueless my friend.

Next to impossible to beat the same opponent 3 times in a season, so I guess it is a good thing we split the regular season.

Passer rating was designed as a season long stat, not for individual games, but for perspective 80.9 is where Trubisky and Wentz have landed for the year. So really bad sounds appropriate.

If you think Burrow was good today you're either drunk, stupid or didn't watch. You pick
