That is where I am at.

At least we will see the Bengals open up the offense now.

One of the few terrible throws in Burrow's career. He knows he has to get rid of the ball pretty quick that does not help either, but you just cannot make that mistake. That may do it for today. The Bengals are just getting out played today both mentally and physically. It will be a miracle if they are able to pull this one out.

Bears with the pick 6 now lead 17-3 with 10:55 to play.

I think Joe just missed the LB on that play.  Burrow doesn't worry me, it is the offensive line and the lack of pressure on defense.

Yea it looked like the LB just picked up Burrow staring down his receiver.

That interception was horrible.

And why were we running the ball on 1st down, down two TDs in the 4th quarter.

Ugh!

Oh well back today to how many Sunday's have been for almost 30+ years. I guess on to Pittsburgh next week.

I agree and I'll bet we ran it today on 2nd and 7 or 8 four or five times today.

Still all about the o-line for me. The entire offense is run the way it is because the o-line is weak. No time to go downfield. The ball has to be out in 2 seconds.

Agree our OL appears to be pretty bad.

Those last two possessions show you why they ran the ball on 1st down trailing by 2 TD's.

It seems to me as a fan of the Bengals and the Wildcats you see things happen to them on the football field that you never ever see happen to any other team. I don;t thin I have ever seen a quarterback throw 3 straight interceptions on 3 straight throws. Grant it the last one of course in on the o-line. But we have had now 4 straight possessions end in turnovers.

It is a nightmare!

Really to be positive about something today the defense after some dumb plays and penalites on the first drive of the Bears have played pretty good today. However our offensive line looks like a FCS line going up against a SEC defensive line.
