Defense has allowed nearly 400 rushing yards, Joe Burrow turned into Alex Smith.
What a brutal start to the season.

Has Cincinnati had a worse d-line? it’s absolutely laughable. Zero pressure, zero contain…blow off the line of scrimmage every play. Lou’s 2 linebacker system has got to be the absolute worst design of a defense in the history of football. I give this team 4 wins at most.

Yup
Limping off field. Perhaps Chase was right when he said Joe Burrow should take first 5 games off?

No Bengals will not overtake Balitmore because the defense is not good enough

Defense looks fat and slow, no pressure and can’t tackle. Other than that, not bad, lol

No chance. Losing Bates and Bell were bigger losses than anyone thought.

Gotta hope he is next week, 0-3 would be very tough to recover from. Defence didn't cover themselves in glory here. Season really is in the balance now.
They are done 0-2 in the division. The defense and offense is both trash

I thought it was a crazy idea to bench him but at this point he’s clearly not himself. He’s not even playing mediocre at this point.

Chase definitely tried to tell us.

Defense just can’t stop anyone
Idk what our defensive scheme is supposed to be taking away.
Letting Bates go was just dumb as hell

Ja'Marr was clearly right and Zac Taylor is an absolute moron for playing a clearly injured and limited franchise QB. Just beyond stupid.
I know these guys will have to play through pain etc. But not in Weeks 1-2 when they've missed the entirety of the preseason. Does anybody have any logical thoughts in Bengals coaching meetings? Jesus christ.

I’ve never been so wrong about a season. Honestly thought we’d lose 2-3 games all year. 2 games in and we’re 0-2. If they don’t get the #1 seed, which they won’t, they’re not making a Super Bowl. Can’t go in to KC every freaking year and expect to beat the odds. It’s superbowl or bust this year, and all things concerning, it’s getting close to a bust.
A shame because the window is definitely closing. Tee isn’t coming back, so they can freaking triple team chase (no need, he’s not beating double coverage) and we have no more playmakers. No offensive line, and no defensive line.

Played a bit better and given Joe is still hurt not sure what we can reasonably expect.

Dude the defense lost this game today. They wouldn't have stopped Jackson had he been hopping around on one leg.
