***Week 17 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Chiefs***

[Goalpost]

Playoffs be gone with drives like that.

Unless the offseason and the draft take place while the Chiefs are out there, I'm not optimistic.

No rest for their D. Bengals playing chess.

Lous scheme is no longer unbeatable
The league has caught up to it

[QueenCity]

Need an answer... if we have one

[Joelist]

That embarrassing drive was a microcosm of the whole season on defense. Poor tackling and poor read and react just like all year. And once again our defense is a tonic for a struggling offense...

[Rubekahn29]

This defense is so bad. Lou needs to be fired. I’m sorry. He’s never had a defense on top 10, and has been saved by being able to play Mahomes, and timely turnovers in the playoffs.

[Stonyhands]

LOL…all the talk about Wilson and Pratt being good linebackers. Absolute joke. This has to be one of the worst defenses this franchise has had.

[swilson3828]

So, what, 49 points given up today with 42 given up by the defensive backfield??

And with Reader it was a tiny bit of something.

Why Lou won't go with 3 LBers is idiotic

[RunKijanaRun]

They have to fire Anarumo. He’s been exposed.

[Gdale_Bengal]

lol that’s all for me. This is not a good football team

[Clark W Griswold]

Would they save $ by cutting Wilson and Pratt? They both have been trash this season.
Looks like 2 bad signings right now

Can't really do much as a LB if you can't count on your DB's to cover.

It was never unbeatable.

It has been below average in 4 of his 5 years here.

[Bengalitis]

I was hoping we stopped them on the 1st drive at least....

[Joelist]

A lot of this has been tackling and the secondary especially constantly making mental mistakes and not reading the play going on and reacting to it.

Lou's D was unbeatable the same way Armon Binns and Rashaun Simonize could have been uncoverable.

Nice throw Jake!
