Unfortunately, RW was giving out Christmas gifts a few days early……Ravens finally put the Steelers in their place. They’ve been the better team this year & finally acted like it.
I’ll give him a pass for shitting the bed because thus far it has been rare. But even if they hadn’t coughed up those turnovers, they aren’t going to win games with a defense that could t stop Henry & allowed Jackson to throw 3 TDs.Unfortunately, RW was giving out Christmas gifts a few days early……
You'll still beat the Steelers in the last game of the season to put them at 10-7.Bengals have been bad this year - at least on defense for the most part - but DAMN how bad is Cleveland?
.
Their defense is good enough, but by the time they get the offense figured out (if they even do) the defense will be old and wilted...and they will be in the Bengals' shoes of needing a Burrow/Chase to carry the entire team.
.
Also - is there any other coach in the NFL that loves to FAFO with a 17 point lead like Taylor? From the start of the 2nd half until 8 minutes remained in the game - the Bengals ran the ball just 3 times. With a 3 score lead. Meanwhile, Cleveland did not respect the run at all and just kept bringing QB blitz/rushes and crushing Burrow. I mean - I get Burrow will get the lion shares of the play-calls, but up 17...3 rushes? Three?
.
Taylor would have been fired 4 years ago for his futile offensive system if not for Burrow's magic behind that abysmal OL and pathetic scheme.
I wouldn't bet on it...lol...You'll still beat the Steelers in the last game of the season to put them at 10-7.
