Terrible play call by the Jets on 4th down

I agree on the Jets play call and the Bengals turn that right into a TD.

10-0 Cincy.

Sorry, just joining in. Going back to the play call, I think Fields audibled to that play. That is why the head coach was ticked off.

Also, the announcing crew verified what I posted back when the Flacco trade happened. The Browns did that trade out of respect and thanks to Flacco. Good for the Browns being classy enough to do that for a player!

If the Bengals lose this game, it will be because of lack of pressure on Fields. Every QB on every NFL roster will be successful if there is no pressure.

 Big 4th down here! Let's go D!

Great drive by the Jets!

We need to score again.

Something happened pre snap and that is probably it.  That was a little league power sweep, lol. 

Touchdown Jets! Why did Battle not go on and hit Fields? It looked like he pulled up to me! Bengals 15 Jets 10.

Battle made the mistake often made by blitzers/rushers. When you have that clear path to the QB you have go for broke and deliver the hit. Don't go for pump fakes or anything else. Deliver the blow through the chest of the QB.

Small decisions/plays can make a big difference.

We need a touchdown here or the very least a FG as the Jets will get the ball to begin the 2nd half.

If Flacco had hit Hudson who was cutting across the middle it would have been a huge gain and possibly a touchdown. If it is short I would go for it.

Touchdown Bengals on a 19-yard pass from Flacco to Brown and with 1:15 left in the first half go back up 14 at 24-10. No give us a turnover Fields!

Touchdown Bengals!  Flacco to Brown, what a play.

Can we get some pressure on the QB! Also quit having breakdowns on coverage in the secondary!

We definitely need to hold to a FG here or hope the Jets do a Jets thing and don't score or this is going to get very tight I am afraid.

At least holds to a FG to make it 24-13 Bengals at the half. The defense needs to make some adjustments coming out into the 2nd half. This is by far the best that Fields has played since the opening game vs. the Steelers.
