Still can't believe how close we were

[phil413]

We're now at rock bottom with this current group

It's hard to believe that if Bell just takes a better angle on hitting this gap all the pressure would be off this board.

Why? Bengals are one of the youngest roster in the NFL without young play makers.


Drafting is crushing rh Joe Burrow era and we are halfway through his decade.

The front office is botching the roster in more ways than one

Signing Pratt and a Davis Gaither to new contracts, but letting Bates walk?’

Geno Stone? Sheldon Rankins? They messed it up every way possible

As a Lou scheme fan it's getting harder and harder to defend with poor DL play.

which is what happens when you let major defensive contributors go. and failing at drafting the trenches. man that song will never end will it?

[WildCat]

good thing we have weapons like burrow and chase. ?

[Tlawsonmariat82]

I have been a staunch lou defender and I've recently been very critical of lou those you that's familiar with me on these boards truly know that, but let's make this clear lou was very good tonight I was proud of the defense..that fumble changed everything lou was very prepared and did a helluva job against the hottest offense in the league until that point..

This franchise will never win a SB.

Actually, we're the 3rd oldest roster in the NFL

[THE PISTONS]

We find ways to lose. We're mentally weak.

Defense played well until the Brown fumble, then everything collapsed.

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Maybe we can dangle some dough and get Mike Zimmer back.

With the break coming up after the Chargers game, another loss and it’s time to change DC.  This team has made no improvements at all this year, and only getting worse.  They can not hold a lead, pass defense is horrible, pass rush is nonexistent, and tackling horrendous.

Zimmer looks horrible in Dallas. Like the game passed him by.

[StoneTheCrow]

Thanks. This is exactly what I needed to see this morning!

Would you like to give my dog a good kick while you’re at it?

My plan would be fire DC. See if that makes a difference.

If no improvement, fire the whole staff in the offseason. Hopefully we can get a good HC with Burrow here. Maybe the Lions OC.

I agree, his personnel let him down.

Something happened... they were playing great, then all of a sudden they weren't

This. It's been a patheticly bad attempt at roster construction by this putrid front office. 

I feel so bad for guys like Burrow, Chase, Hendrickson.
