Herbert is looking great but our secondary is playing a big part of it.

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.

Herbert looks amazing tonight but I agree our defense is yucky. 

MAJOR, MAJOR changes better be coming for this team in the offseason, personnel AND coaching staff!!!!!!!!!

Herbert has on that one run 26 more yards than the Bengals have so far as a team. So far our defense has been so bad tonight that the Chargers are averaging over 13 yards per play. That is just horrible!!

Our D is getting destroyed right now.  This hurts. 

Of course the Chargers score on a 4th and goal from just outside the 1 yard line and now they led the Bengals 21-6.

How are Wilson and Pratt NOT lined up in tight on that play with the formation the Chargers were in!!!????  

Nobody on the D line comes off the ball except Hendrickson, NOBODY on the O line fires off the ball, pitiful!!!

This is ugly, far too bad that Cincinnati doesn’t have more aggressive people in ownership and the office.

A couple of bad calls on that drive against the Bengals but when you play as bad and with no heart you are not going to get any calls. That was one of the worst halves on both side of the ball I can remember by the Bengals in a long while and that is saying something when you talk about the Bengals! Just sad!

I have never went from so excited for a season to start to so disappointed as I have this year with this team

The Bengals have devolved back to the pre-Burrow Bengals. That leads to no respect from the refs. Lou has got to put Murphy and Ossai on the field. Hubbard is done. Britt may have lost his job tonight and the way the defense is playing some other players need to move to the bench also.

What do you think Mixon would be doing in Cincinnati?

I am only a causal Bengals fan, so don't take me too seriously.

It just seems to me like he was the veteran, who was a key part of the success that we have had in the past.  Each game I watch, I just have the feeling that we lack a "Go To" running back.
