The Defence, The Offence and The Clutching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory

[UPennChem]

The defence was mostly awesome tonight...

they were 1 missed tackle away (the Roquan sack on 3rd down to start the 3rd quarter) from pitching a shutout in the 2nd half against this bengals offence

in fact outside of that drive, the bengals only made 2 first downs the whole rest of the half

Which makes Roman's goalline playcalling sting so much more

I do t see any issue with the time management at the end, you want to end the drive wihh th as little time left as possible. The issue was having Huntley constantly running around like a chicken with its head cut off throwing it out of bounds putting you in 4th and 20

 

[UPennChem]

I disagree. That was better than I expected considering the injuries at QB and WR. Boys showed a lot of heart and outplayed a superior team

Nah a clearly clearly clearly inferior team

I still don’t see how they could let the block in the back go on the fumble TD return.

To lose this game the way we did when we were right on the goal line was absolutely heartbreaking! I will never forgive Roman for this fiasco. I hate that bastard.

You've gotta begin questioning even Harbs

i wasnt before
but he should face some pretty massive scrutiny after the way that game ended

just fucked it in the most important moment of our season

And an unnecessary hold

Maybe his worst coaching game in his whole career?

I told myself I wouldn’t get emotionally invested and still let myself get sucked in. Fumbling on the goddamn inch line…

Greg Roman. I hate you.

John Harbaugh.. I know you hear the plays coming in your headset. You must know how dumb it is. Yet you continue to allow it for 4 years straight. I hate you more.

I get the frustration over time management but Harbs is fantastic. He took a team without a starting QB, ripe with Drama, and pushed one the best teams in the league to the final second

we needed the defence to be perfect, and they basically were

the fact the offence literally had to spot the other team 7 points to lose this game is ridiculous

Normally I’d agree but this is a team that has struggled heavily in the red zone. We were going to need more plays since we were just inside the 20. Instead, we huddled in the 2 minute and ran 35 seconds off the clock. Ran out of time to dig out of the inevitable hole we’d put ourselves in

I wasn't ready to say it, but it's time for a change. Let Harbs and us start fresh

 

[Davesta]

I need to see Greg Roman fired news tomorrow morning.

I don’t want to wait until Stevie B have their little pow-wow meeting to go over next year’s plans. I need action!

Huntley had to throw a horrible interception. Roman had to call one of the worst plays in history (14 point swing). And Harbs had to mismanage a clock the likes of which I don't recall ever seeing. And it was still a 1 score point.

Inexcusable

Yeah, no shame in losing this game. Bengals are going to Buffalo with a few bruises, I hope they get their clocks cleaned.

Just saw an ig live from a bengals players… i swear nobody in the locker room is hyped for the win.. idk if its too early or what but nobody seems to be hyped
