Brutal game by our defense.
Brutal game by our defense.
One was 10 men on defense and one was 12 men on defense. Then the numerous breakdowns, penalties and mistakes. Add in the strength of our defense doing absolutely nothing all game and it's not surprising that we lost.
The good news is our offense looked really good and our division isn't nearly as good as it has been.
I assumed the clock management comment referred to the end of the first half, which was unforgivable and another example of the Bengals screwing it up under Marvin.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

One thing I really enjoyed was leaving Bernard out of most of the game, despite the fact that he would pick up a decent gain seemingly every time he touched the ball.

As far as positives go, I thought Gruden called a really good game and Gresh played like a man. The Bengals showed they definitely have some weapons on offense.
But yeah, our secondary isn't nearly good enough to stop teams if we get no pass rush. If Geno and co. can't get pressure we're in trouble.
