Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

I did not expect the Bengals to lay down like that and get beat down like that.

Like the Battle of Ohio was frankly a lot more of an ass beating

than it was an actual battle.

Because holy crap, did the Bengals get their asses beat last night

the dog pound turned into a Bengals house of horrors again, not because it was Halloween.

It's just because of how horrendous and how horrific Cincinnati was in that game.

The Bengal's offense had just come off two straight weeks of being scary. in that

the Bengal's offense had just come off two straight weeks of being scary good

and yet they somehow turned that into

four horrendous quarters of prime time football last night.

I mean, yeah, it's a given, obviously.

They were missing Jamar Chase.

Didn't take a genius to know that that was going to have an impact on this game,

maybe even a pretty large impact on this game.

And it didn't take a genius to see that it did have a large impact on this game.

I just didn't expect it to have that large of an impact. They have other weapons. Maybe not

one like him, but other weapons, which is why it's just awesome that that chase injury broke about 10 minutes after we tracked

Jim Rome's Big Head Betts last week. Like I'm constantly telling you man, the betting game is hard dog. The betting game is hard.

Although the head himself still out a week, a winning week. If I'm not mistaken, I think he had a five and two week.

But that was brutal last night.

You see, the thing about Chase, the thing about Jamar Chase, maybe you can't next man up Jamar Chase.
