This is abominable from Cincy.

Knowing Mike Brown, Andy Dalton will pocket his 17M salary next year without any competition. Dude could give a fuck.

Good job running the dumb as hell college-style everyone-look-at-the-QB audible every play causing multiple delays and ending up with a TE blocking the edge rush on an island.

Not to mention calling for Andy Dalton to sit in the pocket forever with a terrible line in front of him.

I know you kind of have to take these jobs when they are available, but imagine skyrocketing to an NFL coaching job except it's the Bengals and your quarterback is Andy Dalton with a crap OL.

All the pre-snap stuff he is trying to pull off is hysterical when the line can't even hold it together for half a second.

Dalton almost uncorks a deep ball, thinks better of it, then with the pass rush closing in, dumps it off for a play that loses yardage.

Bengals have two really good pass-catching backs and they have no idea how to execute successful passes to them.

edit: Mixon has 4 catches for 1 yard.

when they outlaw suplexing receivers' heads into the turf, only outlaws will suplex receivers' heads into the turf.

In the meantime, it's a GOOD FOOTBAW PLAY.

I would have put any amount of money against Cincy scoring there once it hit 3rd down. I assume on 4th down no bookie would take such a bet with Primetime Andy at the helm.

I can’t recall a 70 yard drive that has taken almost half a quarter.
This whole game...i just dont understand the bengals. Down a ton in the context of the pace of this game and just moving as slow as possible. Audibles at the line, running the ball. Like wtf are you doing

They spent about 20 seconds to audible into a HB dive on 3rd and 1. Mind-blowing stuff.

"I like this offense" is certainly a take.
Booger is an absolute atrocity on the microphone. He's smart and understands plays, but he says incredibly stupid and internally inconsistent shit constantly.

To wit, he just made a perfectly salient point about why the offense worked for Pittsburgh tonight.

This Bengals offense and coaching is the definition of losing football. That was beyond bad

Looks like the coach has a "system" and is going to run it regardless of what is best for the players that are actually on his roster.

Is it my imagination or does it seem like the Steelers defenders are trying to hurt players on pretty much every play?
