  1. Real tough loss for the fans today. You guys have a lot of great players and talent. Burrow looked uninterested in the post game interview, it looks like coaching could be the problem. Anyway, thanks for Jake Elliott. Go Eagles

  2. They haven’t had a decent running game since Cory Dillon. They need to abandon the high flying circus act offence and bend but don’t break defense. They need a running game that gets 5 yards on first down and a defense that can rush the passer and stop the run. Ultimately it’s a philosophy problem.

  3. James always looks like a child wearing his dad's clothes, trying to play grown-up lol. Earlier this week, he said we should get Cooper Kupp. You think that would have helped us today? There's been 3 games this year where the opposing teams' offense has scored every possession of the 2nd half. So, yea, let's go get Kupp, James! Fucking brilliant

  4. They're just not good in all phases right now, Defense, Offense, Special Teams, Coaching. I think the surprising thing is how they seem to have lost that "it" factor a bit. When Mcpherson missed that 54 yard field goal that would have put them up 13-3, I just had a feeling they're not going to win this game. Then offensive series after they got down 24-17, Burrow scrambles for 8 yard because of immediate pressure, 2 runs that don't go anywhere, and going for it from their own 40 with Chase getting stopped…just awful! They've got micro and macro problems…my Dad though in his upper 80s I think simplified it all though…they got handled on the lines on both sides. Their O Line and D Line both seem below average. This season is very close to over. Mistake was not trading Higgins in the offseason I think, but also lots of front office decision starting not to pan out. I still have this feeling they could turn it around, but it's getting less and less likely.

  5. The interception to Chase was Burrow trying to do too much too quick because he knew he had to score again his defense couldnt stop a pee wee football team. Burrow cant be patient and get these long drives late in the game when we’re playing from behind. Our rushing game and every aspect of the defense are huuuge issues that continually frustrates Bengals fans. As a fan im not even looking forward to Sundays anymore at this point because nothing is changing week after week and the problems are consistently the same.

  6. Ha ha ha ha! Spanked by the Eagles and I mean spanked! Still haven’t beaten a team with a winning record this season. All that trash talk by your players and fans and can’t back it up on the football field. You get what you deserve. Remember Ja’Marr and Cam Taylor-Britt confidence is important but, without humility it’s just arrogance. Consider the 2024 season as Karma punching you in the mouth with the fist of humility. Maybe next year just shut your mouths and play football and prove it. Maybe Karma will be kind to you.
