Cincinnati Bengals LOSE to Baltimore Ravens on TNF | Instant Reaction & Takeaways

50 comments

1. Chase Brown would not be a starter for any other team. Joe Burrow and JaMarr Chase deserve better than him and that defense. Wilson and the other two tacklers gave up on the play. Shameful performances. Brown reminded me of Jeremy Hill with that fumble. The moment was too big for him.

2. Ravens seem to habitually try to hurt our players.

3. I’m not sure why no one even considers the possibility that they are fixing the games. I believe that they have been doing it since 2020.
   There are so many things that point me in thinking this way.
   It’s not the refs who are out to get us. They may like you to believe that is the case. Our coaches haven’t forgotten how to coach all the sudden. Why does Burrow look miserable all the time now? Maybe my comments get instantly deleted but I’ve been trying to tell people this for a while. Maybe no one wants to hear it , and it’s understandable but the whole problem is our guy’s are forced to go out there and play pretend fake scripted football where the outcomes are predetermined.
   It’s all about gambling now and taking the fans money , it’s all they care about. Burrow does not get mad over losing or mistakes he simply fixes them and moves on, but when it’s a problem he has no control over it makes him helpless to fix it. He has to go along with it. People need to wake up!
   This shouldn’t be that far fetched for people to believe.
   Look what are media does in politics. Corruption has been rampant ever since 2020. Our last legit season we went to the superbowl. If they were fixing outcomes before that then they were certainly better at hiding it. The AFC Championship a few years back when we played KC in arrowhead (the year of the Burrowhead comment) or the year of love for Damar 3🔺3. That game in KC I could tell we were intentionally trying to lose it. Once you open your mind to the possibility you will start to see it.
   Or let ignorance be bliss but prepare for plenty of heartbreak and things that don’t make sense. If someone could drop me a comment that they even seen this I would appreciate that. I think I’m being censored or shadow banned.
   I’m a diehard fan since 88 not someone who just wants to hate on football for no reason. I was even a season ticket holder for a time pre Covid.
   I lived for this game like many of you.

4. These so called "journalists" complain more about refs than anyone else… LOL

5. Bengals got hosed NFL officiating continuing to be a farce Bills fan here

6. Please, stop talking about things you cannot control – like the refs! Every team gets phantom and missed calls – get over it! The coaching is why Bengals lost last night.

7. You can blame this all on Roger Goodall because he refuses to address the bad officiating problems. This is why the officials allow the chiefs to always win because the officials have been paid off to let the chiefs win. The NFL is fixed or rigged. The bengals would have won if it wasn’t for the poor officiating.

8. Kick extra points!!Doing for Burrow and Chase😢😢

9. Ima need y’all bengals to get right man, over here giving LSU players all these losses 😄

10. Maybe season #58 will be the one where the Bengals finally win something! Keep your heads up.

11. Cam Taylor, Britt is the worst starting cornerback in the league. Bench him. and Mike Brown, pay , Chase.

12. When was the last time Geno Stone or Vonn bell made a play? And by the way nice call on third and two and fourth and two. All we needed was a first down. Brutal!

13. The bumbling Bengals lose another close one

14. This was so unfortunate. Couldn't beleiv this game could End like this. I knew the Ravens were playing really good And they will win the AFC North. Unless the Stiller's win it. The Bengals played one hell of a great game . Sorry it didn't go well.

15. I'll be back Wednesday for your next must win segment.

16. I thought, minus the fumble, Chase Brown played pretty well.

17. Several very questionable calls on the ELEVEN penalties on the Ravens. Should have gone to Chase anyhow.

18. Here's the facts ZAC is 10-22 against AFC NORTH he doesn't have this great offensive scheme that helps players get open like the Shawn mcvay uses Cooper kupp it's bengals players who puts in a amazing effort & game who turns a ordinary catch play into something special ZAC has no in game adjustments were the leadership & cultural at because it's fundamental mistakes it's situational FB ZAC doesn't know lou is this amazing def coordinator this DB genius ha we see mistakes after mistakes and Noone is bench cam has digress an why is geno still playing he's uncover for the ravens shit this R professional players who shoots themselves in the foot everytime chase brown cannot fumble there an God he's had problems throughout his career holding on 2 the ball and why isn't ZAC screaming at the miss calls dude Tom Brady would been complaining the hole game about no 90 did this or that ZAC should be teaching borrow how too get the REFS pay attention at the miss calls just watched Brady & bill an why not go 2 the hot hands Jamar on the 2 point conversion why bengals was in field goal range 3 times an went backwards cause 3 low perc plays 3 an got nothing

19. Pardon me guys, Ravens fan here. On the 2 pt attempt, the right tackle was mugging Kyle Van Noy, so obviously we Ravens fans will exhale and take the no call. Especially since our secondary was fans of Jamar Chase and watching him carve us up! Obviously Chase and Burrow are a mach made in football heaven but just watching him run down the field on a go route was nutz! May both teams go unbeaten the rest of the way?

20. This coaching staff is awful ZAC is terrible at coaching it's situational FB man there's time's to be aggressive and time's when you just get the points this back field sucks on def let star players walk for what a 3rd pk if we had bates we would've won at least 2 more games if not 3 borrow getting killed an ZAC says nothing except blaming him for holding the ball 2 long watch ZAC talk after the game no accountability none why is guy's benched for mistakes what a turd of a coaching staff

21. Ownership needs to go extend Jamarr and Trey right now or they are going to completely lose this fan base. Enough is enough.

22. Go listen to borrow talk after the game it will make you cry Joe says we should see him after these games his body is black from being HIT SO MUCH take up for the offense line again boy's ted is just a average C cappa with all the leg injuries he's a lot slower cordell volson is bad this off line is AWFUL borrow will become another ANDREW LUCK

23. Geno Stone and CTB need to be benched, at this point I don’t care who replaces them.

24. Bad defense from Anarumo. the defense is bottom 5 the past 2 years. Poor drafting and some poor FAs at safety and DT. Time to give Lou his walking papers.

25. This diehard Bengals and Saints fan remembers Marshawn Lynch's historic run where Saints were diving with rubber arms and missing tackles.
    Last night looked the same way. A PUSH instead of a wrap up? A reach instead of a wrap up? Felt like a fix from here.

26. Feels like a lame excuse to talk about a missed QB face mask call AND a missed DPI call at the goal line ON THE SAME PLAY to END THE GAME, but I will never understand two go balls on 3rd and 2 and 4th and 2, or passing on a makeable field goal attempt with 9 min left….It just looks like pro wrestling. Sorry, but that's how it feels.

27. Zac Taylor and Mike Brown are steaming piles of crap.

28. Feel like you could've ended after the intro. That pretty much broke it down already.

29. When are the coaches going to be responsible for developing talent? The coaches are unable to develop talent at any single position..

30. When are the coaches going to be responsible for developing talent? The coaches are unable to develop talent at any single position..

31. We had the ball 3 different times with the lead and did nothing

32. Why call timeout on two point conversion?
    Jamar was one on one
    How was that going to get better—gave the Ravens time tolan

33. I don't know if anyone's notice but Logan Wilson ever since that tackle on mark from the Ravens he has not been his aggressive self that must have really affected him he is just not as aggressive as he used to be….there was a time he was all over the field and in on every play…in the backfield, blanketing the run..and falling back into coverage…now not so aggressive and a step slow…doesnt have that look in his eye any longer…please bring back the old logan

34. God…Why do i read comments. All these coaches on here should try to get in the NFL, they obviously know more than the professionals.

35. Same old Bengals.The windows has closed.James you said Mixon was through.He is the man in Texas.We are wasting Joe's great se a son.Front office has to do better.Defense need a new linebacker with the D line.Worst Safety tackling by Stone.Playoff time is over.Please draft better because MURPHY ANDCarmen Jackson were Bust.2025 sign Chase.Trade Higgins he doesn't want to play on Franchise Tag.Ref has never call penalty for Bengals.

36. Mike Brown are you watching this Madness.Your team is a joke.Please wake up and make some wise decision. Your father Paul Brown would not put up with this comedy.Giving up 30 points every game.Come on Man.Somebody make some good decision.Murphy Stone Rankins you name them bad players.Burrow taking a beating yet performing like a M V P….

37. Going for 2 WAS the right call. The Bengals made too many mistakes on BOTH sides of the ball. (AGAIN)

38. After 7 years it all comes down to the OFFENSIVE LINE STILL NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH!

39. Lamar No 8 again?

40. Bottom line, every other decent or good team finds a way to draft and develop offensive lineman.
    The Cincinnati Cincinnati Bengals simply do not. They hit in the draft every once in a while, but never on the offensive line.
    The front office will pay for some journeyman players, but they won’t go out and swing for the fence for Joe. If I were Joe, I would get the hell out of Cincinnati. They are a really bad organization.

41. Just let Joe sit down so he doesn’t get hurt. The Bengals are literally nothing without him.

42. At the end of the season the front office has to decide whether they REALLY want to be contenders every year, or will they be satisfied with being competitive. If it’s the former, then you need to improve the team, invest in your team like KC has, like SF has.

43. There's one thing more frustrating than watching chase and burrow go off and still lose. Thats 4 obvious penalties on the final play and the freaking refs dont throw a single flag. Thats two games the bengals ahave lost bc of the refs screwing them at the end of the game. The refs always screw the bengals over. I cant think of a single team that gets treated worse in NFL history

44. gesicki flopped stop it … he went under the defenders armpits to create a flag and fell to the ground lebron style

45. The amount of excuses is WILDDD

46. Ravens fan here. As much as I wanna come talk my ish, I can empathize with you. The Patriots and Steelers would win games against us just like that during the Flacco era. 😂

47. James was on geno stone ass about that tackle😂😂

48. It’s lack of focus,execution and discipline for an entire 4 quarters. The Bengals offense makes 3 or 4 plays a game that cost them points,sometimes giving the opposing team points and completely swinging the games momentum. You can’t give any team in the NFL the ball on their 43 yard line,putting your defense in a tough spot. The Ravens have struggled to move the ball the entire first half,why would you give them good field position and momentum on a turnover on downs? Then you fumble the ball on your own 30 yard line,giving the Ravens great field position again,while also giving them another touchdown. A 14 point swing,probably more like a 17 point swing because the Bengals should have scored at least 3 points on that turnover on downs drive. Those type of decisions and momentum swings will get you beat in the NFL. The Bengals defense has struggled,there is no doubt they have a rebuild to make on that side of the ball,but the defense is good enough to win you games as long as the offense doesn’t make crucial lack of focus plays and terrible game time play calls that hurts your team. We need everyone on this team to have the focus and mindset Joe Burrow does going into this game next week against the Chargers. When one side of the ball is struggling,the other side of the ball picks them up. That is what great teams do,they pick each other up and stay focused and locked in the entire game. There is a reason why Joe Burrow,Orlando Brown Jr,Tee Higgins,Jamar Chase and Trey Hendrickson wear that C on their chest. The team captains need to gather this team together on both sides of the ball,explaining the season is not over and as long as they stay focused the entire game and clean up the mistakes they will find themselves back in it. Not only does Joe Burrow need to address the team,but Zac Taylor needs to admit to his poor game time decisions and make the necessary changes like right now! Not after the bye week,right now! We need all hands on deck starting this week!

49. Truth is the free agents that were brought aboard hasn’t really been impressive and that’s all 7 Players they’ve brought on in free agency!!! The offense is legit but burrows beating we witnessed was bs.they went for two because this defense can’t stop butter!!! I’ve said it before I’ve never witnessed so many uncontested catches on the bengals Dbs Safetys all of them just stand back off the line 10 yards and these guys just can’t close ground and the opposition tears them apart 8-9 yards on every pass!!! The defense coach has to be held accountable and the offensive coach pollack both should resign after a year like this one!!! No one and I say no one thought this team would be where they are right now. Every other teams hold losing against coaches and I’d start with those two but that’s Zac’s first coaching pic and he won’t go no where so that’s my opinion !!!

50. Bad teams don’t tackle well. The bengals have to be one of the worst tackling teams I’ve seen in a while.
