The Bengals found a way to lose against the Steelers this week. They were in great position several times to get head coach Zac Taylor his first win, but they kept finding ways to lose. Here are the reactions from twitter throughout the game.
Starting with the bad
The 2019 Bengals have secured the worst start in franchise history. When you consider Cincinnati’s history, that is quite the accomplishment. We’ll let the reactions speak for themselves in this section

The date of the worst start in the #Bengals half a century of existence.
0 wins. 11 losses. #SeizeTheTank
Vegas had the Steelers at 6.5-point favorites this week. Pittsburgh defeats Cincinnati, 16-10, by sitting on the ball at the Bengals’ 7-yard line.

The #Bengals are 0-11 for the first time in franchise history after falling to the Steelers 16-10.

Ryan Finley: 12 of 26 for 192 yards, 1 TD, 1 fumble.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) November 24, 2019
If you can't complete near 50 percent in this league you don't belong in it.
With the amount of former QB coaches on the Bengals' staff, this level of QB play is unacceptable.
— Rebecca Toback (@Rebecca_Toback) November 24, 2019
And, it'll be quite alright if the Ryan Finley experiment ends now.
I just want Andy back. #Bengals @CincyProblems @EvilAndyDalton

Ryan Finley in 3 starts:

41 of 87 (12 of 26 today).
2 TD.
4 turnovers. #Bengals #SeizeTheTank
If you've ever said Finley > Dalton, delete your account.

What was Finley's hand measurement? Dude has the hand grip strength of my two year old
— Chris Roling (@Chris_Roling) November 24, 2019
Ryan Finley has to do a better job with ball security. #Bengals
— Tyler Dragon (@TheTylerDragon) November 24, 2019
Cordy Glenn played a great 57:28 today.
— Anthony Cosenza (@CJAnthonyCUI) November 24, 2019
Nope.
— Josh Kirkendall (@Josh_Kirkendall) November 24, 2019
Not the answer.
Zac Taylor cannot start Ryan Finley again with a straight face.
— Travis McCoy (@Travis_McCoy) November 24, 2019
and Corey Glenn gives up the game sealing sack. Fitting end.

Tyler Boyd says “I told you so”
Last week Boyd was vocal about not getting enough targets against the Raiders. He felt that he should be the go to guy without Green, and he showed his case when he gave the Bengals a lead before halftime.
WHAT. A. CATCH.

Tyler Boyd one-handed grab with the defender hanging all over him @boutdat_23 pic.twitter.com/HXgL3mY4Cq
Can't remember the last time somebody actually got all the way up into the stands. I've seen failed attempts, but that's some serious adrenaline. https://t.co/pwiFeHGxGE

Yes, the Bengals are winning, but don't worry Cincinnati fans. Washington and the Jets are, too. Everything is staying in place. #HedgedTank
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) November 24, 2019
Is it possible the Bengals have a better starting QB than the Steelers???
— Dadio Makdook (@dadiodefacto) November 24, 2019
Tyler Boyd just single-handedly got the #Bengals into the end zone. Ridiculous one-handed catch for 47 yards and then a 15-yard TD. They lead the #Steelers 7-3 just before halftime. Repeat: winless Cincinnati has the lead.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) November 24, 2019
Boyd channeled his inner A.J. Green on that TD grab.
— Dadio Makdook (@dadiodefacto) November 24, 2019
On Joe Haden no less.
— President of John Ross fanclub (@PatrickJudis) November 24, 2019
Boyd plucked that duck right out of the air.
Tyler Boyd putting on a clinic.
— Lindsay Patterson (@LndsPatterson) November 24, 2019
Finley tosses it up again to Boyd, who again comes down with it for a TD. Then he hops up and makes it all the way into the front row of the fans. That was the #ToldYouSo drive from TB.

Boyd with a nasty snag ! @boutdat_23 #bengals @bengals get him the Val !!!
— Duane Fultz (@officerfultz11) November 24, 2019
That pass to Boyd tripled the Bengal's entire offensive production
— Nick ❌anchester (@NickManchester9) November 24, 2019
The #Bengals DJ played Livin' on a Prayer last commercial break. That's essentially what that pass was, but it worked thanks to an incredible one-handed grab by Boyd. #Bengals at Pittsburgh 15
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonATH) November 24, 2019
YOU MY BOYD
— Elite Andy Dalton (@EvilAndyDalton) November 24, 2019
2 deep balls in this game have been pretty bad 50-50 balls that the receiver won. So that's cool.
— Jake (@Jake_NFL) November 24, 2019
Now I see why Tyler Boyd thought Ryan Finley should throw him the ball more.
— Ben Baby (@Ben_Baby) November 24, 2019
Tyler Boyd might've just made the catch of the season for the Bengals with that 47-yard one-handed catch #Bengals
— Tyler Dragon (@TheTylerDragon) November 24, 2019
Boyd picks a bad time to get loose with the football
The Bengals were headed into the red zone down by only a field goal when they hit Boyd for a huge gain, but the defender he beat caught up and knocked the ball loose. The return set up Pittsburgh with the ball right around the midfield. Also is it a bad time to mention that Boyd hit 100 yards receiving on the day or?
Devin Bush gets beat then makes up for it as Boyd doesn't put the ball high and tight. I hate it when receivers fumble. It hurts more than other kinds of fumbes.
— Jake (@Jake_NFL) November 24, 2019
that hurts. Devin Bush forces that fumble. would've looked good in orange and black. @WCPO
— Keenan Singleton (@KJMSingleton) November 24, 2019
Yep. That's a fumble 3 steps for Boyd before Bush stripped it. Fitzpatrick picked it up. He stepped out after two steps so return won't be as long, but still, Steelers ball.
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonATH) November 24, 2019
Boyd went over 100 yards on that catch, but ..... Oof
— Jay Morrison (@JayMorrisonATH) November 24, 2019
Trey Hopkins putting his body on the line to make a tackle. Love his story, on field and off. Only guy worth keeping from this bunch.
— Chris Roling (@Chris_Roling) November 24, 2019
Someone forgot to tell these offenses when the game started
Both the Steelers and Bengals offenses were particularly bad to start the game. Some may credit the defenses, but we just saw some really unwatchable football. Quarterbacks looked inaccurate and offensive lines rarely created space for the running backs. It had many questioning if either team would ever score.
The Bengals' offense had 23 yards on their first drive, and have had exactly 0 yards of offense since then

Bengals' red-zone defense comes up big again. Carlos Dunlap tips the ball at the line of scrimmage and Shawn Williams gets the INT.
— Ben Baby (@Ben_Baby) November 24, 2019
I hope Rudolph has a long career with the Steelers.
— Dadio Makdook (@dadiodefacto) November 24, 2019
Carlos Dunlap owns a restaurant in Miami, so he know a thing or two about being great tipper. Tips the Rudolph pass which leads to Shawn Williams INT. #Bengals ball at the 15. @WCPO
— Keenan Singleton (@KJMSingleton) November 24, 2019
hahahaha Mason Rudolph SUCKS
— Elite Andy Dalton (@EvilAndyDalton) November 24, 2019
And there's your first INT. This one by Shawn Williams in the red zone thanks to a tip by Carlos Dunlap. The kind of plays the Bengals have to have to pull off the improbable.
— Paul Dehner Jr. (@pauldehnerjr) November 24, 2019
Maybe this game will end in a 0-0 tie

Bobby Hart has about the same chance of stopping T.J. Watt as the idiots who gave him a new contract.
