Bengals fans won by seven and spent the night demanding Taylor's firing anyway.

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

Cincinnati escapes Miami 31-24, and the fanbase is somehow angrier than after most losses. Two J.Battle interceptions off M.Willis bailed out a game where C.Brown fumbled at the MIA 7 and the staff kept finding ways to make a seven-point win feel like an audit. Perine chants are growing, Zac Taylor's leash is fraying, and the only thing holding this team together on tape is a backup quarterback's turnovers landing in the right hands.

What fans said

  • “There are very obvious signs that this team is terribly coached, but I'll choose to ignore them because they won.”

  • The bengals have been in the top 5 least penalised team every year since 2021. Why is it so different this year?

    There should be no debate. Bengals go into the bye week five with one clear problem. Running Back. I’d be lighting up the phones to find a good trade and if you overpay so be it. Chase Brown is not the answer. #rulethejungle #whodey
