The Reds are going to be so bad that two weeks into baseball season the only question will be " when does football start?"

 

[bengaldoug]

We were totally outmanned today. Our only hope was mistakes by the Colts, and save for Herron's fumble there weren't any.

This. They needed to trade away EVERYONE that they could get a return on. I'd rather see them do like the Astros and stock up the farm system than try to win again with a shitty patchwork team.

How many passes did Sanu drop? I counted three for sure, there may have been a couple more. That's why they quit using him when AJ came back. I believe he led the league in drops.

Is Dalton still checking down?

 

[ckhokie]

What? He's supposed to block those two guys and play QB? Two guys coming unblocked isn't on Andy. Matter of fact, a lot of what went wrong here wasn't. Pathetic showing by the whole team. Giving up on the run (again) cost them (again).

Yeah man, I get ya. But the OL is one of the best in the league. Every line is going to give up a sack here or there. You're going to face pressure, you just can't drop the ball.

We really never had a chance today. We had to play perfect , and the Colts needed to make mistakes. Neither happened. Just way to many guys missing. Our QB flat out isn't good enough. Our defense flat out isn't good enough. Sanu is not a starting WR. He just isn't.

Gonna have to find a pass rusher in the off season. I would say find a WR is a must, but getting Jones and Eifert back should help.

If anyone hears a gun shot, don't worry, its just me.

He really isn't that good. He got overrated by the fans because he can throw the occasional TD pass on a gadget play.

Don't worry, they just traded for Marlon Byrd. A 37 year old out fielder who's played for half the teams in the league. Can't you say championship??

Two years ago was the time to do that, and Jocketty choked on the trigger.

 

[bengaldoug]

Byrd this year will be similar to Ludwick last year,

Lucky us.

Good game Bengals fans.

I wish you good Luck next week in Denver.

 

[DanBengalfan]

well, I tried to keep your hopes low.

that said, I'm slightly optimistic about next season, but I haven't bothered to figure out which high profile contributors we're going to let go because they "cost us too much"

...

soon to come: we explain to some people that the salary floor is not the salary cap for several months. and that Geoff Hobson doesn't understand what the NFL salary cap really is.

Marvin won't be fired.

Hue is safe. Guenther is safe. Dalton is God.

We're fucked.

Why do we care? Why?

I've asked myself that question all weekend. I really don't think I care anymore

 

[flamingrey]

I don't get why Dunlap hasn't been more of a factor.................

He was doubled the entire first quarter plus until they got into a rhythm and negated any pass rush we had.

 

[flamingrey]

This team needs a second receiver. Why is it that everybody else can find an Antonio Brown or some other late rounder that should be a scrub and they turn into an all pro but we can't? I want a fucking receiver who can run after the catch and isn't a liability with the ball in their hands the way guys like AJ and Gresham are. Chad was the same way. They can get open, they can catch the ball, but at that point the play is pretty much over or you're just worried they're going to fumble.

Who knows what we really have or have had. They're all limited by Dalton.

Sanu also played better under Gruden. In fact, the entire offense was much better under Gruden. Hue just isn't the coach for Dalton.
