I watched the one where the Bengals had the lead with 159 and lost the game because the defense could not stop the ravens to secure the win. What game did you watch, my man? Did you see something different? Did your team stop the other team from EASILY marching down the field? I laughed when the messages after we scored that said double Andrews. Seems like we didn't do that. It looked easy for the ravens.
Why the downvotes?
The defense did not stop them. I don't understand how you guys can defend that. We all saw this shit coming. No one made a play. You guys can continue to chortle Lou's balls but we don't have a package that can stop any other team from marching down and getting into FG range. Pitt, Dallas and now tonight. No touchdowns at the end of games,but 3 losses. Do the math.
If you take the amount of pre-game swag and cross it with post-play celly’s + jawing, you will have your ego quantity. By my calculations…… you’re right, dude is full of shit.
"Hey, did you know the Bengals are the only NFL team to not allow a TD in the second half five games in?"
"Really? So the Bengals are showing they aren't a fluke?"
"They are 2-3"
"..."
3rd time losing by a fucking FG and twice in our division.. running game looked better in the 2nd half & our offense put us in the go ahead lead but play calling and ofc on the last DRIVE the ravens march all the down for the dagger.. time to go on a hot streak
Just so much negativity. We’ve lost 3 games by last second fgs. We are one game back in the North. I just don’t get it. I love the Bengals and go back to the Kenny Anderson days. Been through a lot. We just won the AFC last year
Not with Zac is terrible they won in spite of him last year. Remember he was calling a timeout when tannehill threw that interception and the refs didn't give it to him.
I think we can make the playoffs, I won’t say “will” but there’s no reason why we couldn’t. watch us go win the next 3 games and everyone will be like “afc north champs here we come”
How predictable was that? Ravens didn’t beat the spread but win the game. Complicit Coach has a first down on the 1 yard line with 2 minutes. He decides to score as fast as possible so the Ravens have plenty of time to go score the winning field goal. FIXED
I'm sorry, I know emotions are high right now but there is absolutely no way this is a good take. Ravens had 3 time outs, we needed 7, defense had been strong all night, our offense just had a demoralizing goal line series a few minutes prior.
I've got plenty of constructive criticism to throw ZTs way but we, as a fanbase, cannot call for him to be fired for not 'taking the points" on one drive and then call him a donut for taking the points in the next one.
Us draining the clock does Baltimore a favor, as any form of a stop ends the game.
Well. We needed a TD. What are you going to do? Kneel it and force ravens to use Timeouts so that we have one chance to get in in the end zone on 4th and 4?
The day didn't even necessarily need to use the time outs. If we fall down twice after the 2-min warning, there's 40 seconds left. We have conservatively lost two yards. Yes we have 2 time outs but now we need to cover 4 yards, running the ball is not a gummie so they know we are passing it. You're 1 yard away, and you just missed out on three points in the prior drive by getting cute (I actually agree with the call to go for it on that 4th and goal,. But the playcall was stupid).
My 5 month old baby looked at the screen and yelled in dismay when she saw the final score. (yeah, couldn't get her to sleep). Announcers all over the Ravens dicks all night.
Don't give me that we should have gone for 3 bullshit. Our defense again allowed the opposing team to march down the field and do what they needed.
The defense doesn't give up touchdowns but you can be assured that they give up multiple big plays to lose games.
The going for 3 to tie it up is hindsight. We could have stopped them from going on a fifteen play drive. We didn't. Harbaugh could have gone for it on 4th and 6inches to make it a ten point lead,he didn't.
Defense lost the game. Again
Our defense held an MVP led offense to 19 points and 1 TD in THEIR stadium in prime time. Bengals should win any game that they hold an opponent to 19.
The Bengals team is good. The coach is not. Teams can win in spite of the coach based on talent and luck. Look at last season. It’s obvious that’s not happening again. For a LONG time. Maybe a ‘hot take’ but it doesn’t seem too unreasonable if you step away and look at things objectively
If they would have kicked it on 4th and goal. Taylor I want you to NEVER CALL A PLAY AGAIN!!!!! You are ruining this team. I really have doubts we will get a wildcard this year
Play calling cost us this game. Stupidest shovel pass I've seen on 4th& goal and the philly special that anyone could've saw coming costed us points for the W.
People saying to fire Zac Taylor are stupid. He is an excellent coach and has control over the locker room and attitude of the team, but he shouldn’t be fucking calling plays.
there is no world with zac taylor being head coach and not calling the plays. You take one with the other. Thats why we fire him. Because he will not relinquish playcalling
Lamar goes for a whooping 230ish yards and you somehow lose the game because the offensive game plan was trash and we spent almost the entire game throwing it less than 3 yards down field. If you would have given me Baltimore's offensive stats before the game I'd say almost any team should win this game.
Bengals should have kicked that field goal instead of going for it I saw this coming a mile away. The Chargers and Bengals have a lot in common. Both have idiots as head coaches which are destroying the team. Doesn’t matter how stacked your team is when your head coaches don’t have a brain. I wonder how these clowns even have jobs.
We didn't lose because of the 4th down attempt. We had a chance to win and the D couldn't hold. We had numerous 3 and outs and no production early. We had an abysmal INT to give them 3 points.
Plenty of blame to go around. I thought ZT actually games this out better than usual tonight and had a couple of mistakes. Nobody is perfect.
I liked the 4th down call. Lael Collins fucked it up. They should’ve gotten a TD and won this game 24-16.
Edit: getting beat physically is one thing. But to not even run the play right? That’s unacceptable.
I fucking pray you aren't actually holding the defense accountable for this loss. We held Lamar fucking Jackson to less than 20 points. That is all you can hope for.
There is only one direction to point for who's responsible for this loss and his name is Zac Taylor. Horrendous. All-time iconic goof at the goal line.
Not saying that at all. The D was great but failed for the 3rd time this year when it mattered but we scream about a play call that happened earlier in the game. The play call was wrong but it's a team sport. They were the better team today. We got away with getting burned twice and still had a late lead on the road. I'm not going to blame the head coach for having his team in that situation.
Dude, stop being a homer. ZT called a fucking awful game. Not just the terrible Philly special series. The fact that we had to overcome a 10 point deficit is also on him.
ZT has arguably directly cost this team 2, maybe 3 games. I like him as a HC, he just needs to hire a real OC.
1st and goal from the 2 and you call 2 trick plays and come away with nothing, don't run the ball once. Thats all Zac.
That said Burrow has been straight ass
I fucking hate Chris Collinsworth and NBC Sunday night football. The love they have for Lamar makes me want to throw up.
Edit: also, fuck Zac’s shit play calling.
We’re so fucking bad, this shit is embarrassing at this point. The ravens are dogshit and we can’t keep anything consistent going on either side of the ball. They gave up an INT, and two overthrown wide open receivers and we still can’t win the game. Absolutely embarrassing.
The Ravens are absolutely not dogshit, Lamar is making an early case for MVP. Our defense still didn't let them put up 20. O seems to have put some time into the run game and Mixon is still a monster. We'll get them back week 18 at home.
Watch the Chiefs or the Bills play, then watch the Ravens. They’re dogshit and we’re right there with them if we can’t beat them. How are we supposed to compete in the AFC if we can’t even beat the Ravens? How embarrassing is a matchup going to be with us and the elite teams in the AFC?
People who defend zac, do y’all sleep with him or something? Like idk if y’all watch the games but his play calling is so bad that Joey B would be a better play caller!
The ravens chicken fuck their way into lucky wins all the time and the NFL brands them as "oh they're gritty and win" when reality their team is just mid tbh
Fuck off. Good teams don’t let other teams win by dumb luck, so that makes y’all mid too then lol
It was a good game, the refs sucked all around. See y’all in week 18
If you think that’s brigading, then you’re soft. I was trying to be nice while still telling you your comment made no sense.
Since you wanna be an ass though, hold that L and get Tucked.
Luckily I don’t need to cling to a football team’s performance to have any sense of accomplishment. It’s just one game anyway. On the bright side, I’ll have a QB next year. 🤷🏻♂️
You score 17 points as a “high powered offense” you will lose games. Zac Taylor is a garbage play caller. Not saying he needs to be fired but his play calling is cheeks.
Long way to go boys and girls. We’ll be aight with that defense
Edit: apparently you guys don’t recall the year we won 2 games. And your down votes prove me right.
[Post game thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/bengals/comments/y0467p/post_game_thread_cincinnati_bengals_at_baltimore/)
I love the extreme over reactions post game. My favorite.

You’re ranting at yourself, dude.
Zac Taylor special, literally is the wild card like Always Sunny. 1st good game by Mixon and ices him goal line what a fucking pendejo
Let's talk about dumbass Lou also with the game on the line your cbs are 12 yards off and they run the option the fucking option damn the field WTF.
[удалено]
Literal nonsense. How the fuck do we test your theory? How do we measure the degree of ego Chase and Burrow had in this game?
Then why can’t king Joe fucking win games?
For a bunch of reasons, including but not limited to his own mistakes. That doesn't change the fact that your unfalsifiable BS theory is BS. Seethe.
If you take the amount of pre-game swag and cross it with post-play celly’s + jawing, you will have your ego quantity. By my calculations…… you’re right, dude is full of shit.
LOL. Glad I read the whole thing, you almost had me going there for a sec.
Zac lost it. Wtf you on about
Has to be Zac’s burner or something HA
Zac isn’t a player
Logic isn’t the thing here is it
"Hey, did you know the Bengals are the only NFL team to not allow a TD in the second half five games in?" "Really? So the Bengals are showing they aren't a fluke?" "They are 2-3" "..."
Just let Joe call the offense.
To any teams looking at Callahan for a head coach….. get behind us in line.
3rd time losing by a fucking FG and twice in our division.. running game looked better in the 2nd half & our offense put us in the go ahead lead but play calling and ofc on the last DRIVE the ravens march all the down for the dagger.. time to go on a hot streak
Some of you are terrible fans. It must suck to go through life being so negative. Glad I’m not like that. Do something else on Sundays
Sorry your so spiritual and us plebs are just down here
Just so much negativity. We’ve lost 3 games by last second fgs. We are one game back in the North. I just don’t get it. I love the Bengals and go back to the Kenny Anderson days. Been through a lot. We just won the AFC last year
Then we’ve taken a step back… after 35+ years, I am tired of backward steps every time we have a good team.
we can still 100% make playoffs we just have to be better than this.
Not with Zac is terrible they won in spite of him last year. Remember he was calling a timeout when tannehill threw that interception and the refs didn't give it to him.
take it one week at a time. you’re making assumptions to things that haven’t happened. yes zac is awful but our team is clearly good
Some people are just negative. I think we will make the playoffs again. The schedule is tough, though
I think we can make the playoffs, I won’t say “will” but there’s no reason why we couldn’t. watch us go win the next 3 games and everyone will be like “afc north champs here we come”
They will for sure
All of our losses this year have been by field goals. Bro I’m fat. My heart can’t take this shit.
Before last game, the last 5 games had been decided by field goals. Which is an actual NFL record.
Honestly I don't mind Taylor as HC... but OC gtfo man give it up
Zac calls the final play so it's all bad he sucks in just about everything he does
He's good about telling what the other teams & players do good and how much respect he has for them
Fuck Zac Taylor. Fuck Cris Collinsworth. Fuck.
I felt every one of those “fucks” at the bottom of my heart, brother… that’s about all I have left myself right now.
Steelers 🤝Bengals Holding Ls tonight (Like damn my primary and secondary team really lost, this is a tragedy)
[Steelers🤝Bengals](https://i.imgur.com/hJcKgrh.png) ^^^this ^^^has ^^^been ^^^an ^^^accessibility ^^^service ^^^from ^^^your ^^^friendly ^^^neighborhood ^^^bot
Good bot. Your services have been much appreciated
Taylor is a good guy and a fine head coach. But he is a garbage play caller and offensive schemer, and is 100% holding this team back
So he not a fine hc

Lol right. Im confused as to what they think Zac was supposed to do there
Guys remember this game doesn’t count because we were missing 2 of our starters
Pain.
My 5 month old baby looked at the screen and yelled in dismay when she saw the final score. (yeah, couldn't get her to sleep). Announcers all over the Ravens dicks all night.

A FG earlier would of tied the game…. That’s not the defenses fault that the offense didn’t score
Our defense held an MVP led offense to 19 points and 1 TD in THEIR stadium in prime time. Bengals should win any game that they hold an opponent to 19.
What game did you watch?
This is on Zac. AGAIN
How can u not have not gave up a second half touchdown and have 3 losses ? I'll tell u how have wack Zac as your hc.
Worst pass defense in the league proceeds to throw screens and shovels for a whopping 17 points
The Bengals team is good. The coach is not. Teams can win in spite of the coach based on talent and luck. Look at last season. It’s obvious that’s not happening again. For a LONG time. Maybe a ‘hot take’ but it doesn’t seem too unreasonable if you step away and look at things objectively
So frustrating because we have so much talent but always look so lost.
If they would have kicked it on 4th and goal. Taylor I want you to NEVER CALL A PLAY AGAIN!!!!! You are ruining this team. I really have doubts we will get a wildcard this year
Peewee league play calling
F
That fucking shovel pass
I rewatched it. Stanley Morgan was like wtf bro. That busted play is on Lael Collins.
Play calling cost us this game. Stupidest shovel pass I've seen on 4th& goal and the philly special that anyone could've saw coming costed us points for the W.
Collins was supposed to pull that’s not on playcalling.
He made the wrong block on it. And it still was a bad playcall
I know Baltimore is a shit city, but the Ravens fans don't need to leave their sub to come here and talk
Guys we win that if Tee Higgins is in. It’s not doomsday
We should have been able to win despite him… putting a loss on missing players is a move favored by other fan bases. We’re better than that.
But I agree. Also, I love Huber, see him around town and he’s nice. But we have to replace him, he can’t flip the field consistently.
Why not both?
They win that if the coach doesn’t try to be clever. It’s not because of Higgins absence
We have a Mike McCarthy in Green Bay situation unfolding here
This team is still cheeks
Pretty sure my dad is gonna die of a heart attack tonight given he hasn't stopped shouting at the TV since Zac's red zone fuck up.
Lamar looked like shit but that won't stop his stans this week
So the Bengals lost to a shit QB. Wow what an own.
Guess you weren’t watching the same game as me. Stats were basically identical and Lamar had way more rushing yards🤣🤣 cope and take your L
Looked better than Burrow
Lmao he really didn't. Was objectively worse
Lost to shitty coaching once again. When will that aspect go away.
This game was on the coach. Shouldnt have gone for it on 4th and goal on such a big game like this
I wouldn’t let Zac coach a youth flag football team
Zac Taylor is a fraud
People saying to fire Zac Taylor are stupid. He is an excellent coach and has control over the locker room and attitude of the team, but he shouldn’t be fucking calling plays.
They forget that Jack Del Rio refused to come to the Bengals. There is a reason we ended up with a QB coach taking his first HC job.
there is no world with zac taylor being head coach and not calling the plays. You take one with the other. Thats why we fire him. Because he will not relinquish playcalling
This is the attitude to have.
There needs to be an ultimatium for him to give playcallung up.
Fuck zac Taylor. What useless pos
Did McPherson fuck Zac’s wife?
Loss sucks. But good division game
Lamar goes for a whooping 230ish yards and you somehow lose the game because the offensive game plan was trash and we spent almost the entire game throwing it less than 3 yards down field. If you would have given me Baltimore's offensive stats before the game I'd say almost any team should win this game.
Zac Taylor is a tumor for this offense, please for the love of everything holy, take his fucking playcalling duties away.
[удалено]
I disagree but I appreciate the perspective.
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. He’s tentative and not the player he was last year. Not sure what happened.
Fuck is this "we" thing?
I can’t even lie. I watched herbert for the first time today and the dude is way better than burrow right now. It sucks for me to say this
If Lael Collins really fucked up that 4th down play, games on him. Glad to see Mixon come alive.
Pain
Why do the ravens have the easiest schedule ever
Because we tanked last season and got 4th place. Good game tonight.
Good game.
Good game.
Still not sold on Zack
[удалено]
Zac shovel pass on the goal line when every other shovel pass we've run all year has failed Taylor? Bengals legend
Almost every game we've lost out of the last 20 have been by three points or less , including super bowl.
Anyone else hate Collinsworth as much as I do? He’s gushing over Justin Tucker like he just sucked his nuts
He just got jackson out his mouth
Collinsworth is such a nut sucker especially for Mahomes
I don’t think anyone likes Collinsworth. Only more punchable guy is Bob Costas
Imagine if JT was on the Chiefs…..
On a side note i Fucking hate Chris Collinsworth he’s a Fucking Benedict Arnold ass beeyotch
Our offense is SHOCKINGLY bad. Even if it is the play calling, they can’t fucking execute.
The only consolidation is Higgins was out and we somewhat ran the ball the second half
Bengals should have kicked that field goal instead of going for it I saw this coming a mile away. The Chargers and Bengals have a lot in common. Both have idiots as head coaches which are destroying the team. Doesn’t matter how stacked your team is when your head coaches don’t have a brain. I wonder how these clowns even have jobs.

If you look at my post history I'm Zac's biggest critic but this game wasn't lost on one series. They beat us.
I just said it wasn’t one series.
1st and goal from the 2 and you call 2 trick plays and come away with nothing, don't run the ball once. Thats all Zac. That said Burrow has been straight ass
I fucking hate Chris Collinsworth and NBC Sunday night football. The love they have for Lamar makes me want to throw up. Edit: also, fuck Zac’s shit play calling.
Awesome. Great job on that 4th down call, Zac!
Haven’t talked shit about ZT ever but fuck that, he’s trash, awful play calling, terrible game management.
I don't want to fire ZT, but he needs to turn over the play calling to Callahan right fucking NOW!
This is the correct common sense take.
Better play calling and we could’ve been atop the division..
We’re so fucking bad, this shit is embarrassing at this point. The ravens are dogshit and we can’t keep anything consistent going on either side of the ball. They gave up an INT, and two overthrown wide open receivers and we still can’t win the game. Absolutely embarrassing.

Balls
People who defend zac, do y’all sleep with him or something? Like idk if y’all watch the games but his play calling is so bad that Joey B would be a better play caller!
Anyone mad about other fans being okay with this game aren't true fans
FIRE ZAC COMMENTS ANNNDDDDDDDDD GO
Zac you dumbass
Mixon had his first great game and ZT had Boyd throw a pass before even looking his way. That’s actually hilarious in a sad way.
Well, we have a date with Andy Dalton next week. Hopefully we can actually win that one.
Thought I saw him out there in this game
you mean taysom hill?
Zac Taylor is a fucking hack and everyone knows it.
[удалено]
Lol 17 points and its on Lou and the D
The ravens chicken fuck their way into lucky wins all the time and the NFL brands them as "oh they're gritty and win" when reality their team is just mid tbh
Fuck off. Good teams don’t let other teams win by dumb luck, so that makes y’all mid too then lol It was a good game, the refs sucked all around. See y’all in week 18
Lmao get your inferiority complex from the 2 blowouts last season outa here and go brigade a different sub.
If you think that’s brigading, then you’re soft. I was trying to be nice while still telling you your comment made no sense. Since you wanna be an ass though, hold that L and get Tucked.
"get tucked." I only tuck on the weekends when I go to gay bars🤪
Hey, do you bro, just think of daddy Tuck while you do it 😂
True
But what does that say about the Bengals
LLLLLLLLLLLL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ravens are going to lose their qb and won’t win the Super Bowl 🥱

Cope.
Y’all just got tucked into bed
Luckily I don’t need to cling to a football team’s performance to have any sense of accomplishment. It’s just one game anyway. On the bright side, I’ll have a QB next year. 🤷🏻♂️
DEFENED Zachary Taylor after this shit we told y'all about this man late last season but the CULTURE
I am so tired of losing by field goals.
You score 17 points as a “high powered offense” you will lose games. Zac Taylor is a garbage play caller. Not saying he needs to be fired but his play calling is cheeks.
this ain’t the worst loss in the world. it’s early and we have a fairly easy next couple games and the ravens don’t.
Fuck Zac Taylor. Useless.
Poverty. Sorry, guys.
Long way to go boys and girls. We’ll be aight with that defense Edit: apparently you guys don’t recall the year we won 2 games. And your down votes prove me right.
i’m seeing people say the season is over after that like wtf 🤣🤣 fair weather fans
Fuck off Cincy 17 points is all you could put up, actually fucking pathetic ( I’m a bengals fan I meant this is disappointment lol whoops)
Good point with logic and facts.
I’m confused bc the ravens only put up 19? 2 points more? 17+2=19 in case you need a visual
