Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Bengals beat the Pats

[dtbrks]

You can pin this loss on him but not last week. That’s all Meyers.

Can’t be. Would never be in that position if he didn’t lateral it to myers.

 

[mosi]

They fought back and played hard. I gave up on them and I am disappointed in myself for that. But they fought.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

The Mac lovers will be living in glory for this almost-comeback-win. They've been vindicated in their own minds.

Is he perfect? Hell no.

But he hasn't been given the same chance that, say, Tua and Josh Allen have to play with a true WR1. And Patricia and Judge have done more harm than good.

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

Bad teams find a way to lose


The fan in time wanted to see them win but the more they lose the better chance for an overhaul that they definitely need

Some better coaching and a few plays going the other way and this team would have 9-10 wins right now, which is amazing considering the terrible play by the offense

 

[archstanton543]

All of a sudden Stevenson has a fumble problem.

In this game he had a "refs didn't whistle play dead when forward progress was stopped problem".

 

[TomPatriot]

Disagree. Meyers was principally responsible but it never would’ve happened if Rhamondre didn’t do the first baffling lateral.

Correlation isn’t causation.

 

[Ross12]

There was an intervention by someone.

Some part of me feels like O'Brien is already on the payroll and making suggestions lol

3900/20TDs/7picks on a team with no oline or running game and a joke coaching staff.

2300/7TD/8picks.

Only someone who has not watched him play this year would call his play horrible.

It's lame when they do this

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Totally agree . He seems so shot from an arm strength standpoint. And this is in his initial years . As he gets older won't the arm become even more weaker ....

Time to move on from Mac . He just seems to be a poor man's version of Andy Dalton.

Toms arm got stronger.

 

[Jim Beankie]

Whoever is responsible for phasing Bourne out needs to be shot out into space and never be heard of or from again.

So inexcusable.

They'd be back for Superman II, though.

 

[jah]

I love Bourne but why smile and laugh at this that made me angry

I'm starting to half-believe in a conspiracy theory that some of the players are throwing the season to get some real coaches in the building. Even as far as their own job security goes as players, they might not feel that there's much to lose (or that leaving for another team isn't the worst outcome).

Of course, Bourne himself did nothing to throw this one. His beef has always been pretty obvious to me: he wants the ball.

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Missed most of the 4qutr, why didn't they call forward progress stopped on the Rham fumble? Was there an explanation.

 

[ahmed]

A game of 2 halves. Defense always finds a way to give us a spark and some hope

Pats will escape a lot of critics because of the second half but we had a 100 bad plays.

 

[Kdo5]

Coaching staff looks really moronic for putting Bourne in the dog house the entire season. He single handedly carried the offense down the stretch.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

Anyway, let's be real, that comeback was the result of flukey plays

Burrow interception after a miscommunication
Chase fumble
Mac's Hail Mary

So it bit us in the end

100% It all evened out in the end and the better team won like they were supposed to.

 

[festy1986]

In this game he had a "refs didn't whistle play dead when forward progress was stopped problem".

It's not a problem if he holds on to the ball though which is starting to become quite an issue.

No.

 

[TomPatriot]

That or Mac or Troy spoke up because suddenly Bourne was in the game.

 

[TFB=GOAT]

Mac showed why he’s the franchise qb. Great resolve!

 

[upstater1]

It really doesn't do us any favors to win any more games.

They need a overhaul top to bottom on offense. Coaches included.

I like going to the playoffs.

I also like winning a game you're not expected to win.

Like the Jets did to us in 2010. That was no more improbable than winning as a 6th or 7th seed.

I don't see a big difference between picking at 17 and picking at 24. There is some difference, I'd just rather win though.
