Is it my imagination or do the Bengals lay more than their share of eggs in prime time games?

In the past for sure.

Almost time.

Good news Higgins is back bad news Rankins is out not good the way the Chargers run the ball.

Well I said good news Higgins was back and he fails to catch a key 3rd down catch and the Bengals have to punt.

Hendrickson with another sack, he’s having a season.

That was a nice drive by the Chargers and that TD pass was right on the money.

7-3 Chargers.

I think Collinsworth is having a good night so far.  I think he has been right on.

Also, those PFF Rankings say our OL is bad.

Bengals have a promising drive on their 2nd drive but after having it 1st and goal at the Charger 3 they have an illegal shift and backup 5 yards then a grounding penalty on Burrow and have to settle for a 26 yard McPherson FG to go up 3-0. However in just 5 plays and 70 yards the Chargers go right down the field and score a touchdown on a 29 yard pass to Dissly. The Chargers led 7-3 with 3:34 left in the first quarter.

Higgins was down that was an easy call.

I’m just resigned to it, outside of Burrow, Chase, Hendrickson and Tee (when he plays), we just stink

I've never seen a defense that on so many plays look like they have no idea what they’re doing

Teeeeeee!!!

Not good that is two trips to the redzone and only 2 FG's to show for it. Chargers 7 Bengals 6 with 12:54 left in the first half.

We have no confidence in our running game. 

So far our defense is making it look very easy for the Chargers to now make it 14-6 Chargers as Herbert is 6-6 at an average of 20.5 yards per competition.

How can there be 6 defenses in the NFL worse than this one??!!!!!!   No punting unless we’re inside our own 40, no more kicking FGs, go for it every time
