Campbell and Hamilton had no business being out there last night. They were liabilities more than anything. Whether this team gets lucky or not. I really question whether or not Baalke should be back in this building next year, at least without another layer of reporting and decision making that can keep him in check or veto him.

The lack of interior play for the past two years and overall quality of players on the trenches is coming back to bite this team severely in the [BLEEP] and it's shown up time and time again. It's only going to get worse as well. These next two games are GUT CHECKS for this franchise and coaching staff.

You're talking about two of the very best overall defenses in the NFL, back-to-back. Short week to prepare without Lawrence, maybe no Kirk, maybe no Little. Then, you have to come back home for another primetime game on Sunday night to play another AFC team that's pushing heavily for the one seed.

So, fun times ahead I guess.

Hamilton did not look good at all. On the Bengals' first TD, they ran right at him and the offensive line easily pushed him out of the way. It's a mystery what has happened to him. He signed a big contract, and then he has this mysterious injury, and we're getting nothing for that investment.
