If you expected anger and rage after the game, the Bengals were not about to oblige. The Bengals were bad Sunday in pretty much every phase. We know what we have in that locker room and we know what we’re able to achieve when we put our minds to it and execute to the best of our ability.” We know we didn’t play well enough and we expect so much more out of each other.
OK, nice, he’s saying that, I’m picking him up. Every person you talk to is, like, ‘OK, I need to do this better,’ and I think that is something unique. “I’m like, ‘Dude, you don’t even know what I did during the game because you’re only focused on the things you did.’ He’s like, ‘I get that, but I’m taking the onus on myself.’ I’m taking the onus on myself. Ja’Marr, is like I did this, this and this. We come in and everyone is pointing the finger at themselves. “It’s different right? I don’t want to blow out of proportion things that happened in the past. This is where Uzomah insisted these Bengals aren’t going down the same path as the 20 teams that disintegrated in the second half. “I talked to Ja’Marr because he was the closest to me on the sideline for a little bit and then in the shower, we had a little conversation about just the culture of the locker room.” He then related a conversation he had with rookie Ja’Marr Chase in the showers following Chase’s two-drop day, one coming in the end zone at the end of the third quarter. Words are words but CJ Uzomah talking about his conversation with Ja'Marr Chase offers hope after that awful #Bengals performance /exsdv92kBX This is a different locker room, straight up.” “The two people you just talked to, myself and other leaders of the team,” Uzomah told me, referring to Joe Burrow and Joe Mixon. I asked Uzomah why he has faith this team won’t follow the path of past Bengals teams and let this snowball into the season, post-bye week. Uzomah was there postgame to offer whatever perspective he could. Once we learn, you gotta go out there and correct them.”Īnd the eternal optimist C.J. Just look forward to it, go to our bye week and you learn from these mistakes. We got a lot of things to improve on and we will. “Just gotta do whatever I can to keep everybody together. Now, it’s a race to the finish when we come back from the bye, man. Me as a captain and as a leader, I gotta come back off the bye and make sure everybody puts their best foot forward. I feel like as players, we should take it upon ourselves to want to get over that hump. “To be honest, as much as I want it for the players and the coaches, I just really want it for the city, man,” Mixon said. Take ownership of team heading into Vegas in 2 weeks. “We’ll be better” Joe Mixon insists #Bengals have right attitude. Joe Mixon scored Cincinnati’s only two touchdowns as Burrow was held without a touchdown pass for the first time in 2021. Maybe the focus was there to start but the details and execution were abysmal. The defense was again tuned up by Nick Chubb, with of 137 yards on 14 carries, including a 70-yard romp through the Bengals in the third quarter. He threw another pick that Ward deflected before it got to Chase that led to three more points. He stared down Ja’Marr Chase and missed badly enough to allow Denzel Ward to jump the route and ramble 99 yards for the game’s first score. “We’re not panicking.” Joe Burrow #Bengals /A3xpWRQDPi So what? We’ve got eight games left and still a chance to win the division and make the playoffs, so that’s our focus going forward.” “We’ve still got everything in front of us,” Burrow said of Cincinnati’s 5-4 record heading into the bye week. From the start, Burrow didn’t look himself. The Bengals Sunday let their archrivals from Cleveland run roughshod over them on their home turf and beat up Burrow to the tune of five sacks and seven more quarterback hits. They also made Mike White look like Joe Namath. The Bengals choked away a win against a one-win Jets team at MetLife Stadium with a really ill-timed interception from Joe Burrow.
The Bengals, by their own admission, have a lot of soul-searching and mirror glazing to do in the next 13 days before taking on the Raiders in Vegas. No, true culture and team character are shown when you deliver two stink bombs to your fan base heading into the bye week. CINCINNATI – Culture doesn’t reveal itself in wins.
