  1. Only source of copium is that we started 0-2 last year. But man we showed way more signs of life last season then this trash

  4. 0-2 last year is not okay anymore. Joe is hurt, and the play calling is worse than ever. This is an actual problem.

  6. Once again we are saying the same thing every single year. Offensive line doesn’t look good. Play calling sucks. Joe doesn’t look right. I don’t know how many times we can do this dance. This time it matters losing early especially when these are division games. Frustrating

  8. Coaching staff and players learned absolutely nothing from the train wreck to start last season. Literally nothing. This is so damn exhausting

  11. What an embarrassment. If Burrow is that hurt, he shouldn’t be playing and now he may have reaggravated it.

  12. Only two games to go in our self-imposed preseason. Should be ready to dominate come week five. 😅😒

  14. “We start slow every year”

    Yeah, that’s the problem, Einsteins. We can’t prep a football team for the season for shit

  18. Couldn’t have started the season worse. And to make matters worse, Ravens were missing many key pieces.

    Team is in serious trouble.

  19. I don’t want anyone to say “we’ve been in this position before” “don’t be a doomer” fuck outta here with that shit. Burrow is not 100%, offense looks horrible, defense doesn’t look as good, AFC is stronger…. like we’re in DEEP trouble right now. Panic mode

  20. Y’all need to let up on ZT. Who cares that he doesn’t have even average time clock management skills, or keeps throwing short passes on third and long, or can’t seem to make an offense consisting of 3 good receivers and one of the best QBs work. /s

  22. Burrow doesn’t throw that end zone int they probably win. They also can not give up a 2nd and 23 that ended up a td drive. You can’t give up 20 yards on 2nd down and make the conversion easy for them

  23. Im starting to think the reason every one of our backup QBs look like they have no idea what they’re doing is because this offensive gameplan is dogshit that requires superhuman catches and passes in order to look halfway decent.

  25. I had to leave r/AFCNorthMemeWar sub because I can’t bare to take the heat, even though we deserve it all and more

  26. Some of y’all need a reality check. This isn’t last year. The Bengals are getting outplayed and OUTCOACHED in all 3 phases.

    The defense couldn’t buy a stop today. They’ve been trash against the run. They can’t contain. Hubbard arguably has had back to back career worst games. He’s getting burned to the edge all. The. Time.

    The offense has played 1 good half of football in 2 games. We seemingly can’t scheme anyone open despite having a top 5 receiver in Chase and a guy who is a WR1 on most teams in Higgins, plus Boyd who is a legit slot guy. And the management of the run game is malpractice. This is year 5 for Zac calling plays. It isn’t getting better.

    Special teams is a bottom tier unit with how bad the punting is – it negates any benefits from McPherson or any returns.

    This 0-2 is WAY more concerning than last year, and some of you are just straight up huffing copium.

  28. I still have faith in this team. Need to shake off this funk we’re in. I’m more concerned that calf seems to bother Joe still near the end.

    Overall–
    Concerned? A bit.

    Ready to hit the panic button? No.

  30. Our secondary is hot garbage. We can’t figure out how to scheme Chase open. I hate waiting so long for the season to start just to be disappointed

  31. Signing an elite quarterback when you’re stuck with a mediocre coach always ends the same for teams …

    Hope I’m wrong.

  32. I’m just gonna say it. Zac is a shitty coach. There was a reason he was on the hot seat until Burrow started doing what he does. Joe can say he wants to play for Zac (he kinda has to say that) but ultimately almost every fucking loss comes down to Zac’s shitty play-calling.

    There’s no reason it should take the offense this long to get in a groove. It’s rumored Zac runs a soft ass camp then never plays starters in preseason. Week 1 is when this season counts. Not Week 4. I’m so sick and tired of these slow starts and forces us to sit on the edge of our seats hoping to make the playoffs. If we’re a good team then play and coach like a good fucking team. Zac is a fucking joke.

    Burrow started to warm up today. Wonder if he saves Zac’s ass again this season

  33. The preseason and offseason are critical in the modern NFL. The Bengals are always the last team in the league to figure this stuff out.

  34. Highest paid QB in NFL history, probably the best receiving core in the league. Playbook is what you’d draw up for a backup rookie qb in his first game: running plays and passes in the flat. Never throw downfield, never roll out…what the fuck are we doing???? Our offense looks fucking pathetic!!!

  35. watching Jamarr Chase go from the best deep threat in the game to a glorified screen catcher is just sad

  36. Plain and simple a coaching issue. “2 high shell this and 2 high shell that”. Does cooper kupp still get open? How about tyreek hill? Justin Jefferson? These guys face two high every week and they GET OPEN by going over the middle and scheme. Unfortunately we just got the runt of the mcvay litter in ZT. Every one else finds a way to get their guys open besides us. Stop living in a fake world where ZT knows what he’s doing bc we find a way to grind out one score wins over the last few years. That’s strictly due to our talent!

  38. How come when other teams have their 2nd string offensive linemen in we cannot get any sacks? I feel like our pass rushers are overrated.

  39. The postgame radio announcer just said that because there were no sacks today, Campbell’s won’t be donating any soup to the food bank this week. And then he asked the fans to step up and make a donation instead.

    That is fucking DIRE
