2 Elements Stick Out

It was a sad loss, but it's not time to jump ship yet. We got blessed with the Stoolers and Rat turds losing too. There's still a lot of football to be played.

1) Reggie Nelson

If he can keep playing like that I think Saftie will be moving down on my draft board and iv had it up at the top almost all season.

Reggie's play has never really factored into our need for a Safety in the draft.

AS to AJ: I'm sure nobody feels worse than he does.

I'm not totally without hope, especially since I know how good the Bengals can play, but yesterday was a great opportunity to overtake the Steelers in the wildcard race. Winning the game we should have won yesterday could have gone a long way to solidify our chances for a playoff berth.

Just a bunch of missed opportunities all around. There were 3 FGs by Josh Brown(who was great btw. Maybe we should keep him over Nugent) that should have been TDs. This game should have been a blowout.

Once again, this team fails to capitalize on an opponent with a totally decimated defense. Green-Ellis was on fire coming into this game, and Dallas was missing their best interior lineman, but they went away from the run? Makes no logical sense.

I put this loss on the coaches just as much as the players. They simply didn't gameplan correctly.

^^^ THIS ^^^ I spent Sunday cussing out Marvin, Jay and my TV while the Bengals inexplicably chucked the ball over and over. BJGE has been on fire and our line has been playing out of the this world. Leave it to the Bengals who have leaned on the run when the run wasn't there for years to then abandon it just when it was starting to work. And what the heck was Cook doing in the lineup? Robinson has been playing well, and Cook has been injured all year again, KEEP HIM ON THE BENCH>

We can beat the Steelers if we play 4quarter football, yes. Ben isn't 100%. Ike Taylor is out for the year, and this time we're at home. The Chargers beat the Steelers yesterday in pretty convincing fashion, and we just beat THEM last week.

The Ravens will be a little harder to beat, and right now I don't see Ray Lewis as much more than a motivational speaker. They're missing their starting corner. The defense as a whole is what, 25th? We have the best pass rush in the NFL and one of the better run defenses. This will be a though game, no doubt, but it is totally winnable.

We're playing Pitt @ Pitt.

man this one hurt. my buddy is a dallas fan and we were watching together and i was hyping AJ. he kept saying he'd take dez all day any day and i laughed at him. AJ didn't help me out on that one. i'd still take him over the headache that is dez though.

This is correct

[Helldog]

I'm anxious to see how many trick plays Pitt throws at us. They HAD us that one they ran at PBS earlier in the year, but the doofus dropped an easy TD.

That's right. My bad. Thought we were at home.

[bengaljunky86]

we win 4 straight and we can beat anyone we lose a tough one to a desperate team by one point and now we cant beat anyone lol...its obvious that some of you have zero faith in our bengals aj had a bad game ill agree but this loss cant be put all on him...its never just one play that decides a game...if one of the 4 would be interceptions were caught im thinking it would be a different game...but they werent...thats ajs fault too i guess...

and to everyone asking do i think we can beat a desperate pitt team in pitt?...i say why not? we are going to be just as desperate and we dang near beat them in cincy...their oline stinks our dline is best in the business and always gives us a chance to win...and if BJGE keeps running like he has it puts so much pressure on the D

i know we are all upset about yesterdays loss but look at the bright side of things the chargers whipped the steelers and the ravens lost...we are still in this race guys...lots of football to be played

OK, he had a bad game. Just let it go at that, and let's go beat the Eagles. Even great players are not perfect players.

I too am disappointed that he muffed an easy catch. I have seen it happen to other "big names" receivers too, but their drops don't have the emotional attachment that AJ's do.

Another element that sticks out:

Josh Brown.

It sounds like he could be kicking on Thursday as well.
