The Bengals experienced a terrible game on Sunday against the Bills. Not only because they lost their sixth game of the year. But, because of the beating they took and the injuries that transpired. The team now looks incredibly banged up heading into a Week 12 game with the Baltimore Ravens. A.J. Green will more than likely be out for that game, if not out for the rest of the season.
This just about sums up Sunday’s loss.
It's like #Bengals saved up all the injuries from the year and broke them out for one day.

Bengals injuries on Sunday:
- A.J. Green
- Vontaze Burfict (returned)
- Vincent Rey (returned)
- Dre Kirkpatrick
- Shawn Williams
- Giovani Bernard
- Clark Harris
And by the way, those are all starters, with the exception of Harris who holds a job with no backup and no viable option to fill in for him. So much so that he played an additional snap after he got injured and could barely get off the field after it.
Here are the social media reactions following the Bengals’ loss to the Bills that brought their season record to 3-6-1.
#Bills' depleted offense rushes for 183 yards in win that improves them to 5-5. #Bengals fall to 3-6-1.

Tyrod Taylor gets another win against a Cincinnati team because of the Cincinnati offense being awful. This time @MoEgger1530 can't blame me

Rex knew it was going to be a dog fight, but didn't think it would come down to last play.

First word out of Marvin Lewis' mouth: "Disappointing."
— Joe Danneman (@FOX19Joe) November 20, 2016
Marvin: "Effort and energy is there. Execution is not there in critical moments. Not necessarily one group." #Bengals @FOX19
— Jeremy Rauch (@FOX19Jeremy) November 20, 2016
Marvin: Boling holding huge play. "How we get a holding penalty on a screen, I don't know."
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonCMG) November 20, 2016
Marvin Lewis on AJ Green: Don't know when he'll be back.

Marvin Lewis says it's too early to comment on Nugent... We'll help him out. Go call the best kicker you brought in 3 weeks ago for workouts

A.J. says he won't be doing interviews today #Bengals

Anyone else think the boos today at PBS, had a 90's/early 2000's feel to it them? #Bengals

A.J. Says he'll be back at some point but not sure about next week

8th time in 10 games the #Bengals have failed to top 23 points. They topped 23 points 12 times last season.
— Lance McAlister (@LanceMcAlister) November 20, 2016
Hey #Bengals I will say it again time to get @ross_martin1 in for a tryout, the season is over now & Nugent shouldn't be part of the future
— Codiki (@codiki) November 20, 2016
The rest of Mike Nugent's teammates have his back,
— Elise Jesse (@Elise_JesseWLWT) November 20, 2016
Domata: "He's kicked so many game winners for us, we don't get down on him."
Adam Jones on AJ Green injury "He's the best receiver in the league. He goes down, how do you think it's going to affect the team?" #Bengals
— Kaci Kust (@KaciKustCN2) November 20, 2016
Nugent said he cost them this game AND ONE OTHER this season. He owned it like a man. #Bengals #WhoDey
— Mark Slaughter (@MarkVSlaughter) November 20, 2016
Nugent seemed quite down on himself with frustration.... first snap was high though
— Elise Jesse (@Elise_JesseWLWT) November 20, 2016
Vontaze Burfict looks at TV walking off "Dang. Giants won again. They've won like 6 in a row." #Bengals @FOX19

Unscientific study: Bengals/Bills had 25 commercial breaks (excluding halftime commercials) and 107 commercials.

Wow. Did not see this coming to Cincinnati this year. Stunning. Shocking.
— Coley Harvey (@ColeyHarvey) November 20, 2016
#Bengals now 7-11-1 since starting 8-0 last year.
— Lance McAlister (@LanceMcAlister) November 20, 2016
This is not on Nugent. He probably shouldn't even be a Bengal at this point. I am now in the Lewis has to go camp.
— Whodeyfans (@WhoDeyFans) November 20, 2016
Cincy's playoff hopes are just about done. Not sure even Marvelous Marvin can survive another year.

You can go ahead and kiss the Marvin Lewis era goodbye.

Lewis: "It's disappointing to not win that football game today. There's opportunities - both offense, defense - to get more done" #Bengals
— Enquirer Sports (@ENQSports) November 20, 2016
Tyrod credits the defense against a Bengals offense with a lot of playmakers.
— Lindsay Patterson (@LndsPatterson) November 20, 2016
Which is why I've always respected Nugent and not Graham, who couldn't be found in the locker room after any of his misses #Bengals https://t.co/gCMSCaLM4F
— Joe Reedy (@joereedy) November 20, 2016
Multiple players were consoling Gio in locker room. He and Dre were in MRI room after the game. #Bengals

Brandon Tate was the Bills' leading receiver today.
— Connor Howe (@HoweNFL) November 20, 2016
Adam Jones said the crowd wasn't helping Nugent messing with him while he was warming up. He used stronger words, though. #Bengals

I don’t know where Jeremy Hill was going with this, but, I’ll just leave this here and end on this note.
