Eh, I don't have a huge issue with them even declining this one.

Well that sucked.

Jesus, Harrison was only held just slightly on that play...

It was a 15 yarder. Dumb call.

Ballgame.

Well playoffs are starting to seem a bit far away at this point.

I agree. Should have taken the penalty.

I'm not big on questioning coaching decisions... But why not take 2nd and 22?

Agreed.

I'd rather have 2nd-and-18 instead of 3rd-and-6 ...... especially in the red-zone, where the field is more compact.

Colts had no business being in this game at the half. That was pure dumb luck.

The Bengals are just better. And it’s not close.

Cincinnati just looks like a better team on every level today. Backup QB included.

This does not make me excited for Pittsburgh next week.

Only saving grace is that the rest of the division is losing today.

I don't know what the odds of winning a game when your opponent scores on their first two possessions of the 2nd half....but it has to be low!

Need another defensive score, or two.

I guess I'll go back to not picking the Colts. Have a good evening, gentlemen.

Maybe run outside instead of up the middle???

This second half is just pure garbage.

I get it, the Colts were bound to lose sometime, but sheesh, this is miserable.

Without a turnover this looks like a lost cause!

Our daring head coach made a bad call in declining a penalty.

Our otherwise excellent place-kicker made 2 bad kicks.

Our generally solid defense has looked sub-par.


But there is still a long way to go in this one ...... I've seen much stranger things than a team that is being outplayed coming back from being down by 14 points late in the 3rd quarter.

This team is exactly who I thought they were. A 4 win team with a bunch of spunky overachievers' 7 wins was a bonus, and dropped us in draft order. Fools gold except for the homers who think this team can go somewhere should they get lucky and back into the playoffs. They will be trounced out of the first game.

Minshew is not reading the defense very well today.

Yeah, but Jax has the tie breaker on us and we’re not gonna finish ahead of them. If they lose today they’ll be 8-5 and we’re going to be 7-6.

I still don’t think we catch Jacksonville.

Well, keep wasting first downs on runs that gain jack shit, and here we are again, punting.

What a frustrating game to watch.

Is Minshew as dumb as Vince Young? How about a 2nd or 3rd read

I think we all know they will get bounced, but why not try to get there anyway?

Hard to disagree with any of that after today's performance! Good to see you in a game thread, even if it is only a drive by!:D

Minshew has been inaccurate all day. Receivers can barely get their hands on it. And the offense should be able to run on this defense.

Yep. Our OL and DL have been super disappointing today. Unable to run against the worst run D in the league, and no pass rush at all against a bad pass protecting OL.

The O-line isn’t moving anyone today

I'm shocked the Bengals just don't run these screens every play. The Colts can't defend them.

Need to sniff out screens a lot better, Gus!!!!!

So Jekyle and Hyde today... The Defense board the bus for home at halftime?

I don’t understand how we are so comically inept at both defending them and running them.

For every one that works we have 7 that fail.

That's the worst thing. Line is just stood up.

Also getting absolutely thrashed on these screen plays.

Should we start talking about how Burrow is just a system QB? Somebody gonna say it this week somewhere. Lol

Is dropping 4-8 spaces in draft order really worth watching us get embarrassed in a playoff game. We need so much help in so many places

Probably tipping them off somehow. And we are not sending a guy to pickup the dumpoff guy.

I understand what you are thinking, but I am not one to root for a loss.

Sheesh, QBs are injuring themselves doing nothing now.

I'd much rather be in the playoffs than being 4 spots ahead or whatever. Winning is a cultural thing.
