Jaguars coach hints Bengals fans had a pretty big impact Monday night

[Arkansas Bengal]

The “Who Dey” chants coming through the television on Monday night during the 34-31 win for the Cincinnati Bengals over the Jacksonville Jaguars had an impact.

 

Those well-traveling Bengals fans apparently had a pretty big impact on the Jaguars.

 

After the game, Jaguars head coach Dough Pederson apparently got “testy” during postgame interviews when explaining that crowd noise — at home — was part of the reason for some communication issues on the defensive side of the ball.

 

Other things go into this, of course, as defenses just don’t give up 300-plus yards to a backup quarterback while getting upset at home.
 

But Joe Burrow or not, Bengals fans are clearly traveling well with the team and making their presence felt.

 

Here’s details of the exchange, courtesy of NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano:

 

Doug Pederson gets a little testy when asked about "communication issues" on defense. Pederson says the crowd noise was a factor.

Uh, has this writer ever been to a football game before?  That would have been the Jaguar fans making noise…to try to break up communication of the Bengals offense.  
 

[Personally, I have often wondered why I’ve never heard about home-crowd noise having an adverse effect on the defensive communications…and thought that if you were good with hand gestures on offense, you should goad the opposing team crowd to be even louder.]

Yeah not sure that was us. When I was in town for the Monday night game against the Rams we had a section that were up cheering when the O was on the field. Probably more likely Jaggs had casuals who are not football smart just like every fan base.

Not sure I heard Who Dey but did hear Teeeeeee.

And I hope to hear that for years to come.

Maybe the long lost Rick did a road trip in one of his golf carts from The Villages and was there.

Maybe. Jaggs should have asked to borrow his Golf Cart so they could take Lawerence to the locker room.

I definitely heard some Who Dey chants coming thru late in the game

I was wondering why they didn't use one for him, he clearly needed it....that was odd

Thankfully it wasn't more serious, but not putting him on the cart was negligent for sure.

Lawrence said Wednesday that he was pretty close to the tunnel entrance and felt like it would be quicker for him to walk with some help to the EverBank Stadium locker room and X-ray facility than to wait for the cart to maneuver its way through the extra equipment to get to him. So that's what he did -- although he did admit he might have had some regret.
