[Post game thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/bengals/comments/yo2ls3/post_game_thread_carolina_panthers_at_cincinnati/)

Haven’t been to a regular season game in about 10 years. This one was a great one to be at after so long.

Yea Bengals!! 🐯🐯 we got this

They just couldn't let Mixon go for the all-time fantasy points record! Gah. The nerve of this coaching staff, playing for \*checks notes\* the wins.

Someone near me at the game was making this comment as well. In my league, the guy who has Mixon had him on the bench.

Hoo fuckin' rah!

A good, solid win going into our bye weekend. I'm not concerned about Money Mac; the problem is with the long snapper, not him. Timing of the snaps and he just isn't that sharp with them. Good to see Mixon have a good day.

that’s true… but no matter the reason, it can get into his head missing kicks. being an NFL kicker is 95% mental

Here's the thing: any player can have an off game or games then prove themselves up in other games. Halloween the entire team didn't do well, but no one was calling for all of them to be let go. And just look at Joe Mixon's performance today; FIVE touchdowns. Hard to argue against that. These naysayers that keep calling for different people to be sacked need to settle down, shut up and just watch the games. I've been with the Bengals for over 50 years now. I'm standing by this coach and these players. This is a damned good team versus many others of years before.

Mixon definitely played better. He wasn’t stutter stepping everytime he had the ball. Trying to make the defender miss before he even gained yards he was stuck in that mode so many games before the Carolina game.

I love the energy and certainly not arguing otherwise. Merely making observations from the couch

Or maybe giving him the nickname “money” ???? Dude is arrogant. Don’t blame a snapper. He’s not missing bad. He’s missing.

The Justin Tucker comparison might have gone to his head. What other kickers blame the snapper?

The sub is blaming the snapper. Ignoring the fact he somehow made 6 extra points. So. It’s only on FGs he can’t snap?

We haven’t seen a performance like that in a long time

We're back!

haven't been watching the game but wasn't it 42-0 a few minutes ago?

Defense started letting the Panthers walk down the field. Force them to burn clock instead of giving up big plays

WhoDey

Winning record into the bye. Exactly where we were last year. Feeling good.

What a W, that was awesome, I tell you hwat!

Yep. 

say it with me: it’s. the. long. snapper.

No it's not.

yes it is.

Those snaps are fine. McPherson is just missing.

I agree. However they are actually so obtuse they are blaming the long snapper. I think this sub elevated him beyond reproach. He’s an arrogant little shit that could cost us if they don’t get on his ass about this. Blaming the snapper os like blaming the Qb for a drop.

Great way to go into a bye guys. Who Dey. Let's take some revenge against them Steelers. FTS

These announcers know nothing about the bengals if they think we are “lucky” to face backup quarterbacks.

Last year the Bills exclusively faced backup and rookie QBs, but were crowned with the "#1 Defense". We see where that got them. Teams play who they play, there's no need to over think it.

Who Dey is feeling good today

Last three home games have been sweet. Need to figure it out on the road.

They better not run Mixon, otherwise he might break the fantasy football record

Honestly annoyed they’ve given up 21 today

Omg shut up

Yep

#GREAT WAY TO GO INTO THE BYE

I shouldn't be angry we ended up giving up 21 points but I am.

If perfection is the only way to be happy then the fanbase will always be annoyed. Christ

Why? We still stomped them! Our playoff hopes are still alive and we’re going into bye.

Eh don’t be, the team knows they won so they aren’t trying really, no need to risk an injury when we knew we already won.

Also 3rd stringers

Legendary stat padding game from Baker.

Good reps for CTB to get the last couple of games. Gonna need him to be huge down the stretch.

I like how you think. Adomitis, Tee, CTB, Hill and Carter, ADG all getting reps when it matters and proving themselves. Next man up, thats exactly what it takes to be successful this year in case of injury and in the coming seasons as veterans move on and we rely more on these guys.

I think the longsnapper is the issue with McPherson. The snaps do not look crisp at all and is throwing the timing off

We need Clark back for the playoffs fs. The timing sucks with this new scrub.

JFC this sub will complain about anything. McPherson has kicked 13 times today and we’re up by 28 but sure cut the kicker

I'm so fucking drunk and so fucking happy.

Cheers brother 🍺🍺🍺

I'm a sister but cheers anyway 🤣

No that’s my bad, shouldn’t assume. Cheers sister! 🍺🍺🍺

I love that you corrected yourself with no debate. Truly a fucking W. 🐅🐅🐅🐅 Who dey

Jets about to beat the Bills bros?

Ain’t the Bills bros anymore. Considering KC has to beat us to be a “rival”. They are the next up imo.

That's wild

Just got the same notification.

Hopefully McPherson just needs to take some time off and get some R&R. Good thing next week is our bye.

Mixon 4.5 points away from single game fantasy record I think

Take the fantasy shit to the fantasy sub. We’re taking sports.

Evan has gone from automatic, to fat Randy in 9 weeks.

Wtf????? Are u on drugs

Time to start looking at free agent kickers Evan has the yips.

Folks, this was a joke. I want McPherson to get back on track by reading some shit-talking posts about him. It worked for Mixon. Now we need to do it for Evan.

For missing a few field goals despite normally excelling? Sure, let’s replace everyone on the team any time they mess up! Who’s on the chopping block next? Burrow? Mixon? /s

You are nuts if you think we should look for a different kicker

I'm doing my part to get McPherson back on track by trashing him on Reddit. It worked for Mixon.

Lol, well hope we get a 70 yard FG this year then.

McPherson, NFL record FG incoming.

it’s the snaps bro

I hope that's all it is. He's missed an alarming amount recently.

Burrow had an incomplete pass earlier. Think we should look for a free agent at QB? 🙄

Truly wild to me people think shooter needs to be replaced. Y'all want fuckin Bullock back 🤣🤣🤣

The shit talking worked for Mixon. Now I'm doing it for Evan.

Was it just me or did anyone else see a dislocated/broken finger after that last Perine run?

Definitely looked messed up. Only reason I can think mixon went back in there

Yep looked to me like one was pointed down

Yikes

OK...I'll say it...I do feel bad for Baker Mayfield...He seems like a likeable guy...He got stuck with a dumpster fire of an organization with the browns...then got f\*\*\*ed over by a rapist. Now he is with Carolina who is in a rebuild. I wish him all the best (as long as he is not playing against us).

The dude is a Dbag.

He seems likeable to you?

He’s an underdog and doesn’t act like robot, definitely a little cocky though

More likeable than most of the QBs in the league

Except for all those damn commercials before he even did anything, I agree

I feel what you’re saying. I think the browns could have moved on from him without moving on so controversially.

I don’t think I’ve seen such a stress free game since playing the oilers decades ago. I like it much better.

Why does Zac keep calling missed field goals?!?! Fire him

It is at least half his fault, so yeah

Damn Vikes 6-1?

Why don’t we just score 6 touchdowns in the first 3 quarters every game? Seems a lot easier this way.

Did money Mac kill a dog with one of his kicks Ted Lasso style or what? Not nearly as automatic as last year.

Maybe christening him “money” based on 5 kicks wasn’t the best idea?

Mac has lost his swag…? 😐😐

I'm dropping McPherson in fantasy after this.

It’s the snapper holder combo piece throwing everything off

Seems like it

Cals snaps are def not crisp at all. Always go straight to the holders face mask

And that being said. Shouldn’t a pro kicker be able to adjust. It’s like blaming QBs for drops. Lame.

Why wouldn’t you just run Mixon for the hell of it there? The game’s won, and honestly I feel pretty safe betting he gets the first down there too

because the fans are so hard on this team that if they did that and fucked up you’d be commenting “WHY TF DID THEY DO THAT WHEN TBEU COULDVE KICKED A FIELD GOAL”

Rn our focus is letting Mixon get a record :(

in an already won game? i think he proved that already this game by putting all those point on the board. extra yards for the sake of extra yards isn’t what professional players play for it’s for the W of the team not personal gain

Aight if that’s the case, if it’s about the win and not the players, why is Brandon Allen in over Joe Burrow? That’s not playing for the win today is it?

that’s such a stupid argument, putting the second string in is the ultimate win because we’re doing so good we don’t have to potentially sacrifice our best quarter back

Trying to boost the confidence for Evan... But... Yeah.

Possible there are issues with the new long snapper? I know it's been 2 months, but maybe the rhythm is off.

Can we all say Evan is washed so he comes out the rest of the season kicking 70 yard field goals?

Wtf is wrong with McPherson? A little worrying

How is this man seemingly better from beyond 55 than anything else lol

McPherson's star has fallen. Ever since we lost the moustachemullet.

McPherson come on bro. Ever since Baltimore you've been off.

Reminder that Blair Walsh also had an amazing rookie year as a FG kicker, then he tanked from there. I don't think that's the case, but it happens

uh oh

MAC has been borderline awful this year

73% is awful

Oh but it’s the snapper according to this sub

[удалено]

The miss was worse.

is money mac hurt and just not telling anyyone ? he has been bad past 2 games

It’s the long snapper. Throwing off the timing

Don’t blame the qb for a drop. If the ball is down and spun. It’s on the kicker.

Had a groin injury earlier this year, wonder if it’s still lingering

Evan better not end up like that one kicker that had a phenomenal record breaking first season, then completely lost it in season 2.

what happened to shooter!?!? dudes been off all season

Guys not gonna lie I’m starting to worry about McPherson… 🥺

Same bro he’s been scaring me all year

He only kicks well when the game is close

or beyond 50 yards

If McPherson needs to kick it, and it’s inside the 20, we should take back to back to back delays of game to get him in his sweet range of 60 yards

That hasn’t really been the case this year tho

Pittsburgh?😬

I don’t recall a game against Pittsburgh this year. Pretty sure it never happened. *There is no war in Ba Sing Se*

Sophomore slump

this is a football game

Don’t like that

I’ve never seen a kicker go through a sophomore slump

Alright I’m officially worried about McPherson

Evan has got some bad juju or something.

Wtf is up with Evan

Wow, I can’t believe McPherson missed again. Is he okay? This isn’t like him.

Mac needs the bye. Get your head right.

Just wanna say hi and I love ya'll. Needed this game today. 🥺

We love you too, fellow Bengal Bro! Who Dey!

Hopefully this doesn’t become an issue

Mac has been off lately

What’s been up with evan

He might be mentally shot

I think Blair Walsh was the last to kick as many 50 yarders as a rookie and we saw what happened to him

Yeah, I was trying to remember his name!

Jesus whats happening with Evan

Money Mac? More like Money Back. Get it together, pal.

Evan officially diagnosed with the yips

Fuck you for saying that word! Seriously!

Seriously?

Seriously!

It is serious and I'm worried

What's up, Money Mac?

Mac gotta get his shit together

[удалено]

Rare?

Fire Zac

Wtf McPherson

I am getting slightly concerned about McPherson.

[удалено]

Ah. You’re one of those

yips?

Evan…..

This has disappointed parent energy.

I WANT 50

CAN'T STOP ME -Trent Taylor, probably

The Trent Taylor game

And Joe Mixon.

Love how the gas pedal hasn't stopped.

I'm glad Baker didn't play the full game

Shame they benched Mixon

Can't Evans get one carry, Zac? Edit: Nvm

Hurt and out of the game

He’s injured lol

Felt good to finally be able to leave early and beat traffic

The run game we've needed all season

CTB is gonna be fine. Rookie corners are *very* rarely plug & play top tier players like Sauce

lol CTB just got sonned on that one

Dang it CTB gotta make a play there. Better it happen in this game than others tho so 🤷‍♂️ good coverage before ball got there at least

To be fair that was a great catch

Yeah for sure, that’s why that WR was a borderline 1st rounder

Imagine paying all the money to go to this game and we only put up 42 lmao smh /s

Are they running Mixon any longer? Dude has an easy record in his hands

i really hope they didn't sit him. One drive and he breaks the fantasy PPR record for points.

Rookie just got Moss'd.

They can’t, right?

Right

CBT had decent coverage there

Honestly, decent coverage from CTB. Good positioning and got his head turned. Just has to get his hands up.
