I would hate to see Burrow retire. I would hate to see him on another team. My issue is the defense is a disaster and the offensive play calling is run a muck. Guys don't look prepared mentally or physically each and every week.

 

The GM and whole coaching staff has to go. I wish the ownership too. That's wishful thinking. 

 

Look how quick TN cleaned house with the ex-Bengals O Coordinator turned HC after a quick season and a few games. Albeit with a rookie QB. 

Burrow cannot make pick sixes and mistakes. He is human but has no D to help out when he does his part. Look at the game last week in Buffalo. Another brutal defensive performance.

Burrow has zero room for error with this team. That is a mentally exhausting way to play.

One mistake Burrow needs to stop making is taking sacks that push the team out of field goal range. He has done that way too many times in his career. Stop trying to make the big play in that situation and make sure you get points.

I agree. Just misery to be a Cincinnati sports fan. 

From the Flyover today!

From the final stats it is hard to believe that the Bengals lost 24-0. 

Stats:

First downs: Bengals 18 Ravens 15

Total yards: Ravens 317 Bengals 298

Total plays: Bengals 71 Ravens 40

Time of possession: Bengals 39:19 Ravens 20:41

Defense is awful.  It wasn’t the reason they lost today.

Turnovers are killers.

Bad defense is why you lose games 45-38.  You lose games 24-0 because of breakdowns on offense, defense, special teams, preparation and coaching.  Everyone in the building owns this loss.

Tennessee may not be the best example. As they made one of the worse coaching decisions in recent memory, when they let go of Vrabel. I wish the bengals had him as coach. 

At the end of the day good teams make winning plays, losing teams make mistakes. Today the Bengals had a few chances to make winning plays. Yoshi down the seam drops a deep pass. Burrow and Chase can’t connect on a wide open slant on first drive. Two plays later Burrow takes a sack. Tinsley drops a TD, DJ Turner drops an interception. The Ravens score two plays later. Those are just a few examples of honestly pretty easy NFL plays that could have been made, that possibly change how the game is played out.  Yet they didn’t make them. Which is a sign of a bad football team. 

Glad I didn't go today, Zac has gotta go. Joe was due for a bad game, sad it was today but 3 games left, try to win what we can and build from there all we can do sadly. If we were to let ZT go, who do we go grab?

Mind boggling man, wow.

As long as it doesn’t make Burrow want out. I hope the Bengals lose out, as they only seem to hit on picks when they have high draft picks.
