3 is the only answer. No one behind you. Still within arms reach of the coffee table. Perfect view of tv. In earshot of every convo around you. Can slip right out the back to grab more beer.
Chase blamed the interception on himself (questionable).
McPherson blamed the kick on himself (absolutely not his fault).
Burrow blamed the loss in general on himself (not a chance).
Taylor doubles down and basically says he wouldn’t do anything at the end of the game different.
Nice.
1. Browns beat us.
2. Browns fans overreact and think they’re gonna win the Super Bowl.
3. Browns end up with a losing record and miss the playoffs.
4. Bengals end up making a run at the Super Bowl.
Repeat.
We always get the last laugh, and this year will be no different.
Looks like almost all #Bengals fans are on the same page. We like Zac and think he’s a good HC. He’s brought in great talent, built a great culture, etc. We would just like to see someone else try their hand at play calling. It’s really that simple. #WhoDey

But please tell me how it’s ALL due to a lack of talent.
It’s as clear as ever that at no point did Zac Taylor have this offense moving in the right direction. Joe Burrow, and only Joe Burrow, is to credit for that. #Bengals
Higgins on Burrow:
“Last time we both were on the field, we were playing against each other . . . He tore up our defense, so I’m looking forward to tearing up defenses with him.” #Bengals#WhoDey
Obviously, the front office did not do enough this offseason, but still, if you give a top 7 NFL coach this Bengals team, they are 6-2 easily after today. This is Zac’s fault. Period.
Tremendous honor to be selected to my first Pro Bowl. Couldn’t have done it without the selfless work of the big Monsters up front. Plan is to miss the Pro Bowl because The Bengals will be playing in the Super Bowl. #whodey#Probowl2021#superbowlLVI
I sensed some jealousy toward Burrow at the awards ceremony tonight… Plenty of people yelling for Dak during the Comeback Player of the Year Award. Not many claps when they showed his gameday fit on the screen. Etc. Maybe it’s just me… I’d be jealous too. #WhoDey
For anyone who missed it, Bengals fans aren’t mad that Bart Scott went on a dumb, biased rant. We’re mad that he literally said the Ravens culture is to target Burrow in the future and make him “not last long” in this division. These comments are concerning.
The thought of Zac Taylor “sending a message” by pulling Bernard and Williams after fumbling is comical to me. The only message Taylor has ever sent is that he can’t win football games. #Bengals
We’ve needed an offensive line… now we have one.
We’ve needed a run game… now we have one.
We’ve needed a punter… now we have one.
We just need Lou to figure out some type of serviceable defense. They don’t have to be great. Just good enough.

Shout out to @boutdat_23 who seems like the perfect teammate. Warrior on the field. Incredibly talented. Competitive with a ton of positive energy. Constantly supporting his teammates and willing to go to war for them. Dude is everything you look for. #WhoDey
Samaje Perine holds the college single-game rushing record with 427 rushing yards on 11/22/14.
How many yards will he have Sunday with Mixon out? #Bengals#WhoDey
Pacman is a real one. He stays supporting the team and fans even though most of the guys he played with are gone. Our D tonight reminded me of some of the squads he played on! #WhoDey
Woke up today loving the #Bengals more than ever before. Lots of haters coming out of the woodwork still angry over losing weeks ago. 😂
And miss me with the “this was our chance” and “it’s so hard to get here” talk. Nothing in life is easy. WE WILL BE BACK. #WHODEY
If we lose, fire Zac Taylor’s dumb ass after this game. Can’t even win a game at home. Dude has been in over his head from day one. No idea how people can continue to defend him.
If (BIG if) Taylor stays one more year and somehow manages to turn this thing around, people act like his critics are gonna panic and start deleting tweets lol...
We WANT to be wrong. We WANT him to make us eat our words. We WANT him to win consistently! #WhoDey
All fans are entitled to their own opinion, and all are welcome on my timeline. Here’s mine…
ZAC TAYLOR IS NOT THE ANSWER. Yet another game we should have won.
🚨WILD: The Pittsburgh #Steelers are the co-FAVORITE to land superstar WR Ja’Marr Chase if he leaves Cincy next year, per @BovadaOfficial.
Pittsburgh has actively targeted top wide receivers recently and is expected to continue this in the offseason.

Community note
The Cincinnati Bengals exercised Ja’Marr Chase’s fifth-year option ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, securing the star wide receiver through the 2025-2026 season, rather than allowing him to become a free agent in 2025 (next year).

Regardless of what happens after today, THANK YOU, @ajgreen_18. You are one of the most talented players this league has ever seen and it has been an absolute pleasure watching you play. You are a legend who will ALWAYS be loved in Cincy. Now how about one more win? 🧡💪🏾 #WHODEY
