It was BS then, BS Now, and will be BS in the future!

This entire defense blows. No pressure or quality blitzes. Coverage is a joke. Its a full blown disaster.

Offense on the other hand just sucks today. Top tier 90s suckiness.

Well it was a pretty good run with a backup QB with no starts. More than anyone expected, but the playoffs are pretty much over. 14% chance or something.

I'm ready... to MOVE ON, period. This is unacceptable.

Stick a fork in them- seasons over.

Rebuild that team for next year. Maybe start with some player playcallers

Add no points in two red zone appearances.

Funny how the Steelers always make major moves the week before they play the Bengals and win.

Oh well. I think we knew this team, while playing above expectations the past month, had no room for error and today’s “errors” pretty much end their playoff hopes.

[Clark W Griswold]

Horrible half especially when you remember that they are getting routed by a team that has lost three in a row that includes two home losses vs teams that each will earn top 5 picks in the upcoming draft.

[QueenCity]

If you take away the turnovers that the Bengals defense got everything else is borderline worst in the NFL.

A lot of this season is on the defense. Even with Burrow he's not going to take us to the SB with this D

[Housh]

Only hope is to have at LEAST a 17 point 3rd quarter

Yeah it's over. Worst part is they not only gave us blinded hope, but dropped in draft positions.

[Whacked]

Bengals season is cooked

Who do you want to see win the SB?

I want to see the Bills or Fins get one

[Housh]

Very possible we threw the game away with all those ***** ass conservative calls early

[Bengal Billy]

Yeah, defense was bad no doubt. But, Browning's awful turnovers and checking into a hard pass on 4th down and inches inside the 10 is what killed Cincy. Just flat awful.

Gonna have to play out of their minds rest of the game. Browning can't make any more mistakes and the defense has to hold up.

Oh man, not feeling good about chances of that.

[Goalpost]

Back to that last place schedule talk

Maybe ….but we have no answers for the Stoolers so it won’t matter.

This game is over.

Would love for the Ravens to win ngl

I like Lamar Jackson a lot

Sure, having a backup quarterback and missing Jamar Chase hurts...... But when you throw 87 screen passes I don't see how you're supposed to win.

Yeah that first drive set a bad tone. It was poorly planned which led to poor execution. And then it even got worse from there.
