Maybe planning and play-calling to see to it that there are some open OTM or short otherwise.

Oddly, prior to now in this game and in others this season, what we could really have used at times, like in the first half of this game, is a 15-play 8 minute drive. I'm not sure that McDorsey knows what that is.

Plans? We don't need no stinkin' plans!

At least we've matched our 1st-Half yardage production, 1st-Downs, # of plays, and time of possession.

Where does McDermott rank on your list? It's interesting, many here will list 20 things but he won't ever be on the list.

Our offense has no identity. No methodolgy. When we're down it's big-play city. There seems to be absolutely not a shred of thought having gone into clock management at any level. At some point it becomes difficult to even know what to say about this level of dysfunction.

By the way you said that, probably. But it's non sports related.

Disarray and dysfunction are two words that come to mind. You know me, I was expecting record-setting performance by our O, how off I was. The underachievement is mindboggling.

Hey, I think I see Gil Moore back there! .... I'll be impressed if you get the reference.

Let's see if we can generate more than 21 plays, 122 total yards, and 8 1st-Downs this half. It'll be tough, but we can do it!!

I think you meant to say Billsy. 😎

Come on now, we all know that "culture" supercedes everything.

I gotta tell ya. Poor execution. ... JK Seriously though, how anyone attributes this absurdly underperforming offense to anything but coaching at this point is mystifying.

8:54 time of possession 21 offensive plays 122 total yards 8 1st-Downs That has absolutely nothing to do with an injured defense. Given that the hope for our team is our offense, we're screwed.

How can anyone, meaning anyone, possibly argue that our issues are not primarily related to coaching at this point.

Aversion therapy as in A Clockwork Orange.

I'm tellin' ya! What a monster. Let's hope he can keep a high level of energy up.

Completely agree! The board will blame him, but that was sorely underthrown.

It also helps when you don't underthrow it by 5 yards tho either. Don't disagree otherwise.

OK, well that's an overgeneralization if you've ever laid one out. Sorry, but our offense should, as it has already, slice through that Bengal D like a hot knife through butter. Defensively, Cincy's scored a max of 34 points this season, it shouldn't be too much to ask to hold them to under that. Time for our "defensive oriented head coach" to put the pedal to the metal tonight.

In fact, the two defenses are pretty similar. Anyone complaining about ours in the context of this particular game, needs to look at their secondary and then reevaluate.

At this point it would seem that the hope is tied to getting in, whether it's with 11-6 and a division win or as a WC, then hope we get hot for four games. This team isn't coached well enough comparatively to be able to win four playoff games without getting hot. The talent's there, the coaching is not. @GunnerBill We'll find out tonight.

Goodell's son.

Even further out. Opponents are known years in advance with the exceptions of the two in-conference opponents and one NFC opponent based upon the place is the finish.

To date we've had the second easiest schedule in the league. Only Miami's had an easier one.
