That was ugly.
Beaten embarrassingly at home by our division rival.
Defence showed up for a quarter or so before deciding they didn't want anything to do with the Bengals offence. Tackling again the biggest issue... big plays were given up but big plays that shouldn't have necessarily been TDs.
Mekari down. And it looked like another guy getting rolled up on again. Seems odd to say given everything we've dealt with already at tackle but that might really be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Bengals have a decent DL but no real star power but they bullied us and Lamar had no time at all.
It's unsustainable to ask Lamar to be Superman just to overcome the deficits we have at OL.
WRs disappeared outside of those first couple of 2nd half drives.
All in all we got out-coached, out-executed and out-schemed.
Thankfully it's the Bye next week and we really really need it.
