Can guys be any more wide open

[COB]

Attention Bengals defense, Brady is going to throw over the middle.

[volcom69]

Is it me or is the defense playing prevent defense out there, there guys are wide open on every play

[COB]

Can't tackle.

[volcom69]

Wow defense is exposed and really bad. Offense better learn to score in these games coming up

[HoosierCat]

The defense has done nothing to show they can stop Ridley.

Fixed.

I'm sick of our so called best players not showing in prime time games and playoffs.

AJ better watch out. He's becoming a virtual lock as a ghost in bigger games. I hate to say it.

[Stripes]

Worst defensive outing since Bresnehan?

Worst defensive outing since Bresnehan?

Looks like he is calling the plays

There is no pass rush, which is proving the CBs are not good

He is not blitzing tonight, and the front 4 is not good

Oh and they are not playing there gaps

Lapham: "A.J. Green has the same problem as Dalton. The bigger the game, the less they step up."

Actually I think Andy's had a decent game. He'd have 3 TDs if Gresham could catch.

This team just got exposed for what they are. They are a top 10 team. Not a top 3.

Not until they can improve their line play on defense. The offense will get a boost when Eifert comes back but...

This is more of the same as last season. Take care of business when they should, shrink for the most part in bigger games.

There is no excuse this shouldn't have been a closer game...and I don't blame Marvin. This team just isn't an "elite" team.

10-6 is cool, though. 11-5. It's fun.

Dalton's been ok.

The defense...oooooooffff. Terrible.

[cincyhokie]

Foooouurrrty burger!!!!

When is the last time that happened? It's been awhile.

[Stripes]

Tate with the awesome horizontal kick return.

[HoosierCat]

Hey look, Gresham caught a ball now that it doesn't matter!

[HoosierCat]

And Sanzenbacher fumbles. If I'm Andy I'm phucking pissed at the receiving corps.

[Stripes]

Pretty cool showing, Dane. Glad you could contribute.

Yeah, they ought to give Rex a carry next series, maybe he can get in a fumble before the end of the game.

2012 opener. Baltimore put up 44.

I should have started Cambpell as my fantasy QB.

Great game.

That was a drunken f%ck of a game - a couple of good moments, generally disappointing, and tomorrow we'll wake up and regret it all !!!

That game was worth the one Natural Light beer I just pissed out. Glad I didn't give it more of an effort.

[HoosierCat]

Well, that was a disaster. On offense the drops and fumbles issues they had early last season returned with a vengeance. And the pre-snap penalties were back, too. Moobs probably cost us 3 with that false start. Gresham is worthless when any kind of pressure is on.

Gio made hay out of the relatively few carries he got. Andy played fairly well but got zero help from the rest of the team. But outside of that I can't find much good to say about the offense.

Defense was horrific. LBs looked like they were playing in tar. Dline got no push and no pressure. They still can't cover the tight end. And stop the run? Please. I don't know where you start to fix this.
