‘Going to have to find some more big ideas’: Social media reacts to the Bengals’ 27-18 loss at Lambeau Field

The Cincinnati Bengals dropped their fourth straight game on Sunday afternoon, falling to the Green Bay Packers 27-18 at Lambeau Field.

The Bengals started slow (again) and trailed 10-0 at the half. They pulled to within six points at 24-18, but the Packers Lucas Havrisik, made a 39-yard field goal with 1:52 left to seal the game.

Here’s a sampling of the reaction to their loss on X (formerly Twitter):

Much better in the second half, but the Bengals couldn't get the stops needed and the slow start ultimately doomed them in a 27-18 loss at Green Bay. Fourth straight loss and a quick turnaround to Thursday at home vs. Pittsburgh.

No Hendrickson in the second half. Essentially no Logan Wilson. Two rookie linebackers, a safety having a tough game and a corner slumping. Both starting guards hurt, and no Mims down the stretch. A QB who just joined the team on Tuesday.

The first half was a disaster. The…

🚨🚨THIS IS INSANE: HISTORY🚨🚨

Cincinnati #Bengals kicker Evan MacPherson made the LONGEST KICK IN #NFL HISTORY… 67-YARD FIELD GOAL.

Sadly, Green Bay called a timeout and the kick did not count.

Offensively, that game went about as well as most of us could have expected. Flacco played okay considering the less than ideal circumstances.

Defense was going to have to do more than just hold its own if the Bengals were going to have a chance.

That didn’t happen. Hasn’t…

My friend Matt said it best: if Zac Taylor is the Bengals head coach next year then I cannot be excited about this team

If we don’t win on Thursday it’s probably over
