McDermott nearly stopped Burrow with DuctTape. It was a valiant effort and the defensive intensity was there. Kincaid’s fumble, Allen’s grounding, and the heater pass to Davis in the end zone were 3 crucial misses. Execute any one differently and we have a chance.
The Bills losing FG at end of 1st half cost us 3. McD should have tried a bomb with clock running tho. Also Kincaid dives instead of trying to get RAC it’s another 3 minimum. That’s 6 points in a 6 point game theoretically.
We need to trust in Dorian Williams and Kaiir Elam. We’ve seen them make turnovers, but they don’t do a good job keeping the ball in front of them. Do you live with the mistakes and take the playmaking ability tradeoff?
If we had lost other players instead of Tre, Milano, and Jones we were better. Hard to replace those guys. How many guys are missing from Bengals defense? Hubbard, Wilson, Taylor-Britt?
Miller is probably at 80%, at 34 it’s probably gonna be 2024 until he’s at 100%. Clearly not the reason we lost, but unable to make any game changing plays.
