When they play a terrible game, they\u2019re the first to admit it. <\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t help in the standings, but it does offer some hope that they\u2019ll figure it out over the course of the remaining five games to make a push toward the playoffs. <\/p>\n<p>The frustrating part of all of this is that they\u2019ve shown the ability to win games in dominating fashion. They have five double-digit wins, including blowouts of the Ravens, Lions and Raiders on the road and the Steelers at home.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also seen the Hyde part of these Bengals at home against the Browns and Chargers and on the road against the Bears and Jets. And in the loss to the Chargers Sunday, we saw it all in the span 60 excruciating and exasperating minutes. <\/p>\n<p>The Bengals simply committed too many bad mistakes this late in the season for a team with playoff aspirations. Unacceptable mistakes. Infuriating mistakes. <\/p>\n<p>There was the 24-0 hole. The run of 22 points to make it a one possession game. And then the 17 points the Chargers scored to close out Cincinnati\u2019s fifth loss of the season. <\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s really plaguing these 2021 Bengals is the lack of consistency and crucial mistakes at the wrong time. There were way too many examples offered up Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think our consistency is as good as I\u2019ve ever been around,\u201d coach Zac Taylor said. \u201cThe games are a different animal, but if you talk about (being) in the building and at practice, I don\u2019t have any negatives to pull from with this team. I wouldn\u2019t give that answer if I felt like I was just saying it to just say it. It\u2019s the truth. That\u2019s why there\u2019s such a belief we can overcome a tough game like this because our guys don\u2019t ride highs and lows of the week. They don\u2019t run the highs and lows of the wins and losses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re able to regroup and become the same guy (now) that they were in (the beginning of the season) when they come back in the building. We\u2019re able to put stuff behind us, and that\u2019s where the belief comes from, from me and all the players, that you\u2019re going to see up here and any coaches that you speak to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bengals had two chances to get off the field on their first defensive series, third-and-9 before a 10-yard completion to Keenan Allen. Fourth-and-goal from the four before a Herbert dart over the middle to Allen for a touchdown. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">herbo and slay strike again ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ProBowlVote?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ProBowlVote<\/a> + <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Keenan13Allen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Keenan13Allen<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ProBowlVote?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ProBowlVote<\/a> + <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JustinHerbert?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#JustinHerbert<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>(\ufffc?: cbs) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0Sxpk8C8ar\">pic.twitter.com\/0Sxpk8C8ar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chargers\/status\/1467563048227557380?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The strip-sack on the first drive that dislocated Joe Burrow\u2019s right pinkie. That was one of six sacks on the day. Six. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t have Joe Burrow on the ground,\u201d Joe Mixon noted. \u201cThat was just too many times. At the same time, everybody\u2019s just gotta take accountability for what happened. Just watch film, learn from it, move on. Get ready for San Francisco.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe protection overall wasn\u2019t good enough,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cThat\u2019s not 100 percent on the offensive line; there were some communication there that\u2019s got to take place. Sometimes the (running) backs were a part of that as well, (and) sometimes it was the offensive line. We\u2019ll just have to watch the whole thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, when you put yourselves in a hole like that, you let them get into the fun stuff on offense \u2014 I talked about them getting into the fun stuff on offense, and they got that big lead and we saw some of the looks we saw on tape because they had the lead and knew we were in a passing situation. Really, we put ourselves (in a hole) early. It\u2019s frustrating, because we had some third-and-longs when we had efficient plays. We got two penalties early on from our center and right tackle off of good plays that put us in a tough spot, and that\u2019s just going to be part of the group of guys coming in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hold on rookie backup center Trey Hill filling in for Trey Hopkins that wiped out a first down. The illegal use of hands by Isaiah Prince, filling in for Riley Reiff. Another hold on Hill that wiped out a big gain by Joe Mixon in the second half. <\/p>\n<p>The fumble-drop by Ja\u2019Marr Chase of a sure touchdown pass that landed in the hands of Chargers corner Michael Davis.<\/p>\n<p>The two-point calamity that ended with the loss of a timeout, Mixon and Burrow yelling at the sidelines and Evan McPherson pushing the extra point wide right. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHorrific (management) by me. Horrific, horrific, horrific,\u201d coach Zac Taylor admitted. \u201cWe were going for two, and so we were a little slow making sure we had the right personnel on the field. When I made that mistake, I was going to call timeout and put the ball on the hash(mark), wait and see what personnel they were in, so I ended up calling the play backwards and I tried to correct it at the last second and ended up taking a delay of game. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it was just horrific management of a situation by me twice coming out of a timeout. We ended up having to take a delay of game and ended up missing the extra point on top of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The botched end of the first half where Burrow didn\u2019t look like he knew if the Bengals offense was coming or going, stopping the clock or letting it run on third down. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, we got to a third down and we were going to clock it and put us in a fourth-down position,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cReally, there might have been too much on the clock, (so) if we don\u2019t convert, they get the ball back, so that was a difficult one to communicate in the moment. The guys on the field were going to clock it \u2014 we were trying to get into a pass \u2014 and that confusion for three, four (or) five seconds costs you when there\u2019s only 10 (left). It\u2019s kind of a rare third-down situation we were in right there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The real problem wasn\u2019t third down, it was not running up to the line after Samaje Perine\u2019s run for a first down and clocking the ball there with over 50 seconds left. Instead, the Bengals allowed another ten seconds to run off at their own 41 and then blew another 20 seconds on a first down in-bounds pass to Perine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe communication is critical (and) it\u2019s got to be crisper from me to make sure that we\u2019re all on the same page and make sure we\u2019re all getting one call, and I\u2019m trying to change it, essentially. That\u2019s just bad ball (management) on me \u2014 bad handling, bad communication \u2014 and then we go into halftime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite all of this, the Bengals were down 24-13 at the half and were showing every sign of getting back in the game and posting the biggest comeback in franchise history. <\/p>\n<p>They were within one on Mixon\u2019s seven-yard scamper up the middle in the third quarter. They even had a Chargers penalty on the two-point conversion that allowed them to go for the tie from just one yard out. Mixon ran up the middle and was stopped. <\/p>\n<p>At that very moment, there was an uh-oh feel. And for good reason. <\/p>\n<p>As the short-handed Bengals defense was shutting down Justin Herbert and forcing Austin Ekeler to fumble, the Bengals were driving early in the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n<p>Then it happened. Without being touched, Mixon fumbled the ball at the Chargers 34 and Tevaughn Campbell scooped it up and raced 61 yards for the score. Chargers 31, Bengals 22. Ekeler added a touchdown, and it was 38-22. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">huge, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TevaughnsC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TevaughnsC<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BoltUp?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BoltUp<\/a> | ?: CBS <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VyLJAFutBj\">pic.twitter.com\/VyLJAFutBj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chargers\/status\/1467594311286018054?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 5, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a turnover that shifted the momentum,\u201d Mixon said. \u201cI take full responsibility for that because end of the day, no matter what the play was that shouldn\u2019t happen. I take full responsibility of it. I got to get better on ball security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegardless of the outcome, I\u2019m just happy that (we) played for four quarters. Defense gave us a chance. Didn\u2019t nobody quit, and that\u2019s the best thing that I can really take from this game. We just gotta clean up the little things and let everything else handle itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was still a two-score game 10:49 left. But when Burrow threw a terrible pass into the end zone that was picked off by Chris Harris, the final mistake cast a pall on a game that got away from the Bengals. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody can\u2019t sit there and point fingers. At the same time, we know why we lost. We had too many turnovers,\u201d Mixon said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t play to the standard. At the same time, those little things and turnovers is what\u2019s going to get you beat. You can\u2019t have big plays on defense, we can\u2019t have turnovers on offense. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything went hand-in-hand today so we\u2019ve just figure (it) out, go back to the drawing boards and the best thing we\u2019ve got going is we\u2019ve got next week.
