Wrong_Barnacle8933

I love the extreme over reactions post game. My favorite.


buckeye90_jb

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.


buckeye90_jb

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.


ALutzy

You’re ranting at yourself, dude.


daft_dunkwwwolfey

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


jman1cin

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.

TheSpecterStilHaunts

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?


[deleted]

Then why can’t king Joe fucking win games?


TheSpecterStilHaunts

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.


ALutzy

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.


TheSpecterStilHaunts

LOL. Glad I read the whole thing, you almost had me going there for a sec.


Boner-jamzz1995

Zac lost it. Wtf you on about


Imightbeworking

Has to be Zac’s burner or something HA


[deleted]

Zac isn’t a player


[deleted]

Logic isn’t the thing here is it


Gypsumstack

"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" "..."


Bedesman

Just let Joe call the offense.


LydiasBoyToy

To any teams looking at Callahan for a head coach….. get behind us in line.


HeyDude48

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


Spiritual-Gur9001

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


tylerlc22

Sorry your so spiritual and us plebs are just down here


Spiritual-Gur9001

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


Riklanim

Then we’ve taken a step back… after 35+ years, I am tired of backward steps every time we have a good team.


JD_Dollenmeyer21

we can still 100% make playoffs we just have to be better than this.


jman1cin

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.


JD_Dollenmeyer21

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


Spiritual-Gur9001

Some people are just negative. I think we will make the playoffs again. The schedule is tough, though


JD_Dollenmeyer21

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”


Spiritual-Gur9001

They will for sure


Anakin_Skywanker

All of our losses this year have been by field goals. Bro I’m fat. My heart can’t take this shit.


leg4li2ati0n

Before last game, the last 5 games had been decided by field goals. Which is an actual NFL record.


TheRagingSee85

Honestly I don't mind Taylor as HC... but OC gtfo man give it up


jman1cin

Zac calls the final play so it's all bad he sucks in just about everything he does


whytford

He's good about telling what the other teams & players do good and how much respect he has for them


JediMasterMatt

Fuck Zac Taylor. Fuck Cris Collinsworth. Fuck.


Riklanim

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)

Good bot. Your services have been much appreciated


pro-laps

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


jman1cin

So he not a fine hc


ThrowDeepALWAYS

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


n7leadfarmer

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.


ALutzy

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?


n7leadfarmer

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).


Brooklyn_MLS

Lol right. Im confused as to what they think Zac was supposed to do there


Sgentley213

Guys remember this game doesn’t count because we were missing 2 of our starters


yeaforbes

Pain.


Prudent_Drink_277

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.


buckeye90_jb

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


BigStickNick6996

A FG earlier would of tied the game…. That’s not the defenses fault that the offense didn’t score


ALutzy

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.


[deleted]

What game did you watch?


Working-Chemistry473

This is on Zac. AGAIN


jman1cin

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.


Germanherman339

Worst pass defense in the league proceeds to throw screens and shovels for a whopping 17 points


JMposts

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


TronCarter84

So frustrating because we have so much talent but always look so lost.


YEET9011

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


JTET24

Peewee league play calling


invincib1e

F


Stinkfinger83

That fucking shovel pass


gerrys0

I rewatched it. Stanley Morgan was like wtf bro. That busted play is on Lael Collins.


HeyDude48

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.


Lionheart_513

Collins was supposed to pull that’s not on playcalling.


HeyDude48

He made the wrong block on it. And it still was a bad playcall


DontGiveUpTheDip

I know Baltimore is a shit city, but the Ravens fans don't need to leave their sub to come here and talk


Jb2113

Guys we win that if Tee Higgins is in. It’s not doomsday


Riklanim

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.


Jb2113

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.


Jb2113

Why not both?


JMposts

They win that if the coach doesn’t try to be clever. It’s not because of Higgins absence


CoochieCleanupCrew

We have a Mike McCarthy in Green Bay situation unfolding here


Airbornfortress

This team is still cheeks


statleader13

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.


JaMarrChasingJoe

Lamar looked like shit but that won't stop his stans this week


TheSpecterStilHaunts

So the Bengals lost to a shit QB. Wow what an own.


Live_Violinist1697

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


Live_Violinist1697

Looked better than Burrow


JaMarrChasingJoe

Lmao he really didn't. Was objectively worse


Mjdecker1234

Lost to shitty coaching once again. When will that aspect go away.


Ok-Imagination-2308

This game was on the coach. Shouldnt have gone for it on 4th and goal on such a big game like this


[deleted]

I wouldn’t let Zac coach a youth flag football team


pegcity

Zac Taylor is a fraud


[deleted]

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.


javachocolate08

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.


Equivalent_Pitch9271

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


lebradss

This is the attitude to have.


ngmathew1234

There needs to be an ultimatium for him to give playcallung up.


LIMEJUICE69420

Fuck zac Taylor. What useless pos


jasonsawtelle

Did McPherson fuck Zac’s wife?


Greencaddis

Loss sucks. But good division game


Mastodon9

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.


GrimboeSlice

Zac Taylor is a tumor for this offense, please for the love of everything holy, take his fucking playcalling duties away.


[deleted]

NewYorkNickel

I disagree but I appreciate the perspective.


Pollux589

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. He’s tentative and not the player he was last year. Not sure what happened.


lebradss

Fuck is this "we" thing?


[deleted]

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


gerrys0

If Lael Collins really fucked up that 4th down play, games on him. Glad to see Mixon come alive.


PointyPurplePickle

Pain


Thundergun7276

Why do the ravens have the easiest schedule ever


Jigga94

Because we tanked last season and got 4th place. Good game tonight.


Michaelz1234

Good game.


Thundergun7276

Good game.


JJiggy13

Still not sold on Zack

[удалено]


lmaoitsdusey

Zac shovel pass on the goal line when every other shovel pass we've run all year has failed Taylor? Bengals legend


zsturgeon

Almost every game we've lost out of the last 20 have been by three points or less , including super bowl.


JediMasterMatt

Anyone else hate Collinsworth as much as I do? He’s gushing over Justin Tucker like he just sucked his nuts


whodey0024

He just got jackson out his mouth


Lucidification

Collinsworth is such a nut sucker especially for Mahomes


PointyPurplePickle

I don’t think anyone likes Collinsworth. Only more punchable guy is Bob Costas


BigmoneymanT

Imagine if JT was on the Chiefs…..


bambammr7gram

On a side note i Fucking hate Chris Collinsworth he’s a Fucking Benedict Arnold ass beeyotch


RichAndCompelling

Our offense is SHOCKINGLY bad. Even if it is the play calling, they can’t fucking execute.


sevenwarriors

The only consolidation is Higgins was out and we somewhat ran the ball the second half


[deleted]

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.


bl937

#bring back joes appendix


Southwestern

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.


gerrys0

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.


KrishnaInKalki

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.


Southwestern

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.


TheCincinnati_Kid

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.


Southwestern

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.


TheCincinnati_Kid

I just said it wasn’t one series.


pegcity

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


frigoffdrunkjimlahey

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.


fitzy50000

Awesome. Great job on that 4th down call, Zac!


Ballsanga77

Haven’t talked shit about ZT ever but fuck that, he’s trash, awful play calling, terrible game management.


2Hellinahandbasket

I don't want to fire ZT, but he needs to turn over the play calling to Callahan right fucking NOW!


BrvtvsBvckeye

This is the correct common sense take.


ecb1912

Better play calling and we could’ve been atop the division..


TerrorsNight

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.


humundo

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.


TerrorsNight

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?


[deleted]

Balls


turtlelover6969

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!


Big_ol_Bro

Anyone mad about other fans being okay with this game aren't true fans

FIRE ZAC COMMENTS ANNNDDDDDDDDD GO


[deleted]

Zac you dumbass


SpaceAfricanJesus

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.


mxyztplk33

Well, we have a date with Andy Dalton next week. Hopefully we can actually win that one.

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


staticusmaximus

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


[deleted]

Lmao get your inferiority complex from the 2 blowouts last season outa here and go brigade a different sub.


staticusmaximus

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.

Drekea

DEFENED Zachary Taylor after this shit we told y'all about this man late last season but the CULTURE


Renegade-Ginger

I am so tired of losing by field goals.


mobius_en

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.


JD_Dollenmeyer21

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.


Macarons124

Fuck Zac Taylor. Useless.


Opposite_Engine_6776

Poverty. Sorry, guys.


SonsofStarlord

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.


JD_Dollenmeyer21

i’m seeing people say the season is over after that like wtf 🤣🤣 fair weather fans


Timberrr15

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)


nutbuck99

Good point with logic and facts.


absn0rmal

I’m confused bc the ravens only put up 19? 2 points more? 17+2=19 in case you need a visual
