I give up.
No heart.
No effort.
No more wasted Sundays.

If you gave a real coaching staff the talent that the bungles have, you would have a team to be feared...no one respects the bungles or their ability to play because they are handicapped by their inept coaching and playcalling.

This game is over.

Bengals offense is dissapointing, but the defense is unbelievably bad.

And 10 players on the field on the first touchdown pass? Wow, what is wrong with the Bengals. You have to question the coaching on that kind of stuff.

Well the Bengals might still win 7 this year, but another bad year in the Jungle

I'm sorry, Tony, but I can't agree. I just don't see what "talent" you're talking about.

I don't know about anyone else, but every time I watch the Bengals play the Steelers, I get the impression of an annoying little brother trying to prove to his big brother that he can play with him. Then, at the end of every game, the Steelers condescendingly pat the Bengals on the helmet and say "maybe when you grow up, kid."

The play calling on the first drive was great... Very un-Bengal like. Then they immediately reverted to inept mode.

This O and D coaching staff is horrible.
