So, this is a close one. Without offensive weapons, this is how we're going to lose all year. Couldn't make plays when we had so many turnovers. This kind of loss is on Beane. That's why it is a half tank.

The defense failed us on the last two drives by Cincinnati. The supposed strength of our team got outmuscled by a weak Bengals offensive line. Emotionally and mentally they did not get up for the Bengals. That's how you get out played physically. That's on McDermott.

McDermott couldn't prepare his team to get up mentally and emotionally to face and beat a beatable Bengals team. Whereas a Belicheat would have. That's the difference between good coaching and great coaching. It isn't just X and Os.

 

And folks, beating whom you're supposed to beat is what very good teams do. Winning games after emotional victories is what very good teams do. This is the next step this team, including the coaches, have to take. That's the progression we as fans need to be looking for. (Jaguars for instance, keep losing to bad teams this season, after having big wins vs strong opponents. And we're coincidentally, with identical records.).

 

We'll get more opportunities for this in the coming weeks to see if they take the next step.

McD's post game PC just finished.

 

Dude says absolutely nothing.

 

Maybe that is his prerogative, but then why have the PC in the first place?

McDermott says Miller out was about trying to figure out team. "Don't really know team until mid late October"

McDermott - If you become one dimensional, it's not good. We need to be able to run the football

 

These two quotes are baffling. How does a coach not really know his team at this point in the season? It seems like a cop out answer.

 

And the offense is one dimensional because they can't pass, and that's why the run game is hitting a wall. Defenses are stacking the box and daring us to throw; we can't and the cracks in the roster are getting exposed. How can a coach say we need to run better when the pass offense is clearly the weakest part of the team?

He offers nothing in the way of substance in postgame pressers.

He's well coached (no pun intended) in the PR-art of saying nothing. They are mandated to have the presser, so say nothing while mouthing words. Drives people crazy, but it gives nothing away to the opponent and does not produce bulletin board material.

Self inflicted, but he won't say that.
