What makes you think we can keep Jax from scoring?

That’s our defense for you…

He stepped out 8 yds farther up firld…

Now our sieve of a defense needs to step up…

…going for higher draft pick?

SO STUPID!!!

Is this another time where we get beat by a backup QB?

Don’t you think that Boyd had the option to NOT throw the ball?

“…ain’t no Sunshine when she’s gone…”

Back to add that there was another bad call on the last drive that went in KC’s favor. [I initially couldn’t remember if it was in KC/GB game or AZ/Pit). KC receiver was pushed back near the sidelines, and forward progress would have kept the clock running…but the official stopped the clock. So, FOUR bad calls (or non-calls), with two in favor of each team.

For what it’s worth…I thought you two were joking with each other. 😳

The officiating, especially near the end of the game, was pretty bad…with both teams getting screwed. On KC’s last drive alone (with no timeouts and little time left), there were two absolutely egregious officiating errors (one against each team) in addition to the non-call on the hail-Mary. 1) Kermit is scrambling and racing to the sidelines trying to pick up the first down. GB defender lights him up just before he gets out of bounds at the line to gain. Perfectly played by the defender, as even just after the hit is delivered, both of Kermit’s feet are still inbounds. Yet, one official throws a flag for unnecessary roughness “after the play was over”…and KC got a bonus 15 yards (he MAY have been inches away from picking up the first down without the penalty). GB got screwed. 2) GB defender clearly made early contact with a KC wide receiver (around 15 yard line). It was a pretty bad non-call. KC got screwed. 3) non-call on hail-Mary. How many times have we seen no flags on a hail-Mary despite what looks like pass interference? Add this one to the list. Yes, the GB defender looked to give a two-handed shove into Kelce’s back. Maybe should have been called, but hail-Marys are adjudicated differently. I’m sure Nick Wright will have some things to say about it. [Also, if you didn’t watch AZ-Pit, unsurprisingly, AZ had to battle the stealers AND the refs. AZ scored a TD (end of first half), with pass to TE McBride…but the ball squirted out after he had slid out of the back of the end zone, so it was reviewed. The announcers AND the rules expert all agreed and explained why the TD was good “with the way things are now called” even though the ball came out at the end…only to see the TD overturned. It became a non-issue because AZ scored on the next play. As Bengals fans, we recall a few years ago, a similar play where WE were denied a TD (Jerome Simpson???). Their statement of “with the way things are called now” made me think that they changed the interpretation of the rules regarding “survive the ground”, but apparently not…OR it’s just another case of the rules being different in games involving the stealers. A couple weeks ago, it was a fumble on a lateral that was changed to an incomplete pass despite clear video evidence that the ball went backwards. Without that overturn of the call, the inbreeds would have lost that game.] Fuck the stealers…and their supporting staff of officials.

The MNF refs are being VERY inconsistent with calls late in this game…

You forgot to add: ”…and fuck the stealers.”

Well, we do love to draft players that have won awards…. [Who needs a large scouting department when conferences give out awards to let you know who their best players are? No 🥷 ]

[Bengals next O-line coach]: “Hold my beer.” 🍺 [Sorry. I’m in a very dark place regarding this team.]

Jake Browning said that he didn’t want them (coaching staff) to change the game plan and/or plays (I saw the video of him saying this). Apparently, our coaching staff listened to him and thought that would be fine. It wasn’t.

Is she? Has she not been working on this very same task for the last three years?

Well, guys, not sure how often I’ll be around here for the rest of this season. The officiating shit-show that is the NFL is just too hard to watch. I have enough frustrating stuff in my life to add things over which I have no control. Thanks for making being a Bengals fan more enjoyable. 🦗

I think the shutdown was complete on the last stealer TD when the flag for an obvious hold was picked up. Defense had to figure out that that was the end of the game…

I cannot argue against this…

Can we sign Burfict for the next match against these assholes?

A lot of the talking heads disagree…

Serious question: Does the defense mailing it in reduce the chances that Anarumo gets a head-coaching gig?

Defense has now given up…???
