Though it may still sting, there's more for Paul and Jay to unpack from Sunday's collapse. Before discussing some of the more nuanced topics, the guys report some Bengals news and notes, including A.J. Green amassing over 10k career receiving yards on MNF. How will Cincinnati's kick and punt returning situations unfold in the last four weeks of the year? Bengals special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons sheds light on who could operate as return men in the waning games of the season. The guys sprinkle in their insight on the matter before inviting in Mo Egger to chat about Cincinnati's conservative approach in the late stages of Sunday's loss. Lastly, the guys host a "Most Frustrating Players Whose Last Names Being with 'C'" draft, and recap the most recent Growler Bet.
