Really? O line wouldn’t have let watt with free runs at qb? Bet they would’ve.

It's about showing support.

Please stop, especially with the personal attacks because they just weaken your posts considerably. 

When you say incredibly dumb shit you’re going to be “attacked.” That’s how message boards work.

No ruling it a TD is the correct move. Automatic replay kicks in and that assuredly gets it right.

We are now last in rushing at 75.8 yards per game and probably last in defense rush yards allowed after today game. What a combination.

They’ve earned it. No reason to believe in this team and coaches without burrow. Only thing that’s been propping this straw house up. It’s collapsed now.

We were 4-1 with a healthy Burrow and comfortably beat the 49ers/Bills in back to back weeks when he was fit. You're kidding yourself if you seriously think today's game is no different with a better QB in there. You really think Burrow puts a whole 10 points on Pittsburgh today? 

Maybe not, but acting as if this team was anything other than a fringe playoff team is delusional. They gave up 400+ yards to one of the worst offenses in the NFL. No run game, no defense. This is a Terrible team.

I mean it was a crap game, and the team is clearly not winning the Super Bowl with Browning at QB.

I at least am not proposing outright tanking - just do the obvious and get the kids enough snaps so we know what we have and can approach offseason more intelligently. Well they didn't today. 

[Bengalion]

Needed that lose. On pace for a Top 10 pick.

[TKUHL]

Wow watch the refs get Houston the win.

[*michaelsean*]

Well at least we helped keep Pickett in the lineup.

[Fan_in_Kettering]

I would say Mike Tomlin’s job is safe. Zac Taylor should be on the hot seat.

[TKUHL]

Stupid question, at what point does the clock stop when you go out of bounds???

[RunKijanaRun]

We really have fans hoping we spend a high draft pick on an OL. I can’t imagine a bigger waste of a selection.

And where was I acting as if they were? 

You said the team was 5-5 with Burrow, and I pointed out that while that's true, Burrow was clearly heavily limited for 5 of those 10 games. That's not me suggesting we're rolling to a 20-0 year next year with a healthy Burrow and the rest of the team the exact same. Look for any of my posts in today's GDT, and you'll see what I think of the defence in particular. 

We'd have still won today's game with Burrow in there, despite our appalling defence though. That's probably more of a comment about the Steelers than anything else though.

I think we probably make the playoffs if Burrow is healthy all year, even with this defence. But outside of Burrow and the WRs, this team has holes everywhere. Coaches very much included.

Super Bowl, we won’t  win another game period

Ha ha, hit the crossbar. Suck it, Houston.

I don't think it does unless it's inside of 5 minutes.

Why wouldn’t they, bengals are not given any reason to cheer for them. They will be close to dead last in every category before this season is over.
