Disagree.  Can't expect to win many games in the NFL scoring 17 points including 3 points in the 2nd half.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. 

Never does.

Made McCarron read the defenses more, which slowed down his ability to get rid of the ball, which led to more pressure, which led to a much worse looking offense.

McCarron just can't read/diagnose defenses well enough to run an offense against a good zone defense. It's something that you either A. Have, or B. Learn from experience. Neither of which applies to him.

It's also why they had to use like 6 timeouts because they couldn't get the plays set up in time and when they didn't take timeouts, it was down to 0-2 on the playclock.

Yup.....people are just looking at the surface instead of looking at underlying issues.

They didnt crap their pants. The D just got their strength sapped by the altitude. They were all over osweiler in the first half.

Don't hold your breath about it.

The offensive line has stunk for weeks. Can't open a hole for the run, so why waste time with Hill.  NO time, Therefore you know you have less than 1.5 seconds to release the ball. Why all the long decision making. These should have been quick passes. ...and the secondary/safety just blew chunks. This team is no fun to watch. Just painful.

Three losses in the second half of the season hurt badly. Texans, Cardinals, and Broncos (Texans worst of all since it was at home) losses all tell me that we are still not ready to take the next step. Nothing short of playing in the AFC Championship game could make this season a success and those three game would seem to say that we are not.ready.

I say the offensive coordination and Marvin, plus Burfict.

[Rattler]

Another 1st round loss to the Texans coming right up

[BayouBengal]

Remember AJ green giving up on a TD pass? Its that kind of shit that cost the whole team a Bye... Everybody had a hand in this defeat IMO

Thin air and the offense had like 8 3 and outs in a row. That will leave any defense gassed. Coaching and nuge costs us the game.

[reuben.ahmed]

Did the denver air affect this game?

OK.  I'm calling you out.  This is an 11-4 team genius.  And Bengals fans don't use that word.

You should be able to beat the broncos with brock osweiler by holding a 14-0 lead.

Enjoy the rest of the season. Just a warning; don't get your hopes too high.

If we had Dalton we would have smoked Denver. It's just the lack of a great QB. The offense was flat after the first 2 drives. Dalton was carrying this offense.

Not blaming the fans at all. Yea we screwed the pooch again. I just get tired of people coming out of the woodwork with the dumbass comments whenever this team loses. Where are these fans at when they win. As soon as they lose all the Bungal comments come out. Yea it burns my ass.

No. Pinned on Nuge and stupid play calling. I've never seen so many plays start by going backwards.
