Browning carves us up again, without Jamarr Chase. Tie game with like 40 seconds left.

The D-lineman being off sides helped caused Mullens to rush the throw. That was a sweet play by the LB but all for naught.

Mullens going full Brett Favre mood. 2 passing TDS and 2 INTs.

They both went to Southern Mississippi they must teach this type of play there. ? 

Cincy has been jumping those bubble screen routes every time. It was only a matter of time before one got picked off. Fortunately Hendrickson was well offsides. 

 

Which is because they don't respect Mullins arm strength and him getting the time to step into a long thrown to beat them deep.

Note to Los Angeles Chargers players: This is what a game looks like when both teams play really hard even after losing their starting QBs.

It wouldn't be pretty but you can still play hard and win. #BuildingAWinningCulture

Chandler now at 131 yards and 6 yards a carry. Amazing what a good running game can do for the passing game. 

He's just so much better at making the first guy miss than Mattison. Mattison is a great change of pace guy but he should be seeing fewer touches than Chandler the rest of the year.

 

He also has better vision and hits the holes quicker than Mattison. My assumption is that if he continues to be passable blocking in the passing game he’ll stay on the field. Mattison also has the second most drops on the team so he’s not helping himself there either.

That’s a great play by Evans and good on the refs for not ruining it.

Why are we tush pushing with the smallest player on our offense?

Back to back tush pushes with Brandon Powell and we go backwards.

The QB sneak doesn’t work so you run the exact same play again?

Bradbury got blown up so quickly on 4th down he kicked Mullens down before he even got the ball.

This is why all the talk about outlawing the tush push is ridiculous. PHI is so good at because of Kelce at center.

If they hand it off to a guy 6 yards in the backfield and he get stuffed people question that too.

The O line got absolutely no push at all. No matter the type of running play the O line needs to block.

I thought they would run something where they boot out Mullens and leak out a TE. Even a pitch outside and let Chandler race to the sticks would probably work with his speed.

Yeah draft pick win.

The outcome is on KOC he really botched this game.  Some bizarre playcalling in the second half.

Flores didn't have a great game coaching either.

Coming from you that makes me love it. There’s really nothing wrong with it and whatever convoluted way they would come up with to get rid of it would be dumb. Once Kelce retires this will be a non-issue.

Ya got one of the puniest centers in the NFL & ya try that play twice with a 180 pound guy doing the pushing? Absurdly STUPID play calling by KOC!

Oh stop.  Losing was about a top end pick...not about going from 18 to 16 which is rather meaningless.   If we don't make the playoffs drafting in the teens is not great and you know it.

This loss will haunt us if we don't make the playoffs so let's friggin win out!

Since the last three games are against teams (Lions Packers, Lions) with their starting QBs losing the last three games is definitely possible resulting in finishing 7-10 which will likely be around pick #12.

I am not down about losing this game. The way they have played with out Cousins (3-3) is not surprising some good/some bad. The defense had played so well but the Bengals founded some things that worked in the 4th quarter/OT.

Convoluted?  It's easy "you cannot push the player forward directly".  Took 1 second to think of it.  Pushing the pile used to be whistled as stopped forward motion.

It's one thing if like everyone is smozzed together and people are pushing rugby style but this wannabe USC play is just ridiculous. 

So glad I control your opinions though 😉 (joking!)

The up and down play I expect...some of the coaching today though put us in bad spots.  I haven't seen KOC be that off.  I doubt it continues. 

I would rather we win out than lose out because of who we play.  Make the playoffs with this team and next year is going to be very interesting.

This narrative doesn’t hold up. Bradbury has put on weight and now goes 300# which is 5# more than Kelce. He’s just not that good.

Then you could just have the second level of players push the linemen instead of the ball carrier. More judgement calls by the refs is not what the NFL needs.

In pretty much obvious four down territory the third down play was really disappointing as you could have caught them thinking the obvious.  Then agains not understanding the rule of insanity and going back to the same call on fourth down is wacky.

So obviously I'm conflicted over which was worser. 🤣

KOC has been making late game play calling blunders like this ALL SEASON. Just sick of it! He needs to take a cold hard look at himself…and learn not to pee down his own leg in close (late) games. Obviously the defensive performance in the 2nd half is very disappointing too.

I would have agreed if our possession in OT ended almost any other way.
