It could be worse…..

Dunlap doesn’t make that great play before half.

Boyd doesn’t drop the gimme TD pass

It could’ve been worse

It was an incredibly dumb FG attempt on our final possession. One of the dumber decisions Andy has made in years honestly.

That last loss to the Bengals was terminal.

This one can potentially help us be smarter when it counts.

you forgot two things. it could have been worse had they tried to score at the end instead of the mercy killing kneel down.

could've also been worse had they taken the gimme 3 points

with the drop td, the gimme 3 pointer, and the kneel.down instead of scoring that's a 40 burger.

so you are 100% correct. score could've been worse

Did MVS’s end zone drop end in a FG? Could have been better.

Agreed. It’s not like the last one where we froze.

We will need to beat them with our offense. And our offense proved plenty capable. Now add thuney, Toney, hardman, a more involved skyy. And holy hell hopefully we use the next few weeks to see if prince or niang can do better than wylie. They can’t be any worse.

It was a white flag move especially with the way our D was playing. You know the bengals loved it when we sent out the fg team.

Nah, McKinnon got a TD pass right after the MVS drop.

It could be worse….. You could be a Chargers fan.

---> KC (24) @ CIN (27) <---
KC has 4th & 7 at the CIN 37

Recommendation (MEDIUM): 👉 Go for it (+2.6 WP)

Could be much worse.

You, Donger and BEP could be in here arguing endlessly.

[lcarus]

It could've been better. We actually should've won. If we had scored a TD on every single possession and then twisted Macaulay Culkin's dumb head off and spiked it into the stands the first time he dropped back, we would've won.

Or a Broncos fan. My god. I almost feel bad for them.

[stevieray]

Absolutely it could be worse, if we didn't have Mahomes, we'd be a bottom feeder in the AFC.

Regular season game.

The Bengals got a little lucky too.

The 3rd and 4 Chase conversion, 3rd and 11 Higgins conversion, and that 3rd down shoe string sack on Mahomes also come to mind. You run those plays back a hundred times each and they probably come out 50/50.

we gotta face it, that's the way these games are going to go with the Bengals. they're a good team and they know how to beat us, it's going to come down to how the ball spins and falls and shit. we're going to beat them eventually, maybe even in the playoffs but it's not going to be a comfortable win. it'll be by 3 points laaaate in the 4th quarter and it's going to take things breaking for us and mistakes by the them (which is the opposite of how it's been going)
