Bengals had 11 drives - 5 ended with punts, 2 end of halves and 1 FG. The other 3 were scores, on drives with plays of 5, 18 and 15.
8 of their 11 drives had 6 or fewer plays and only one resulted in points, the one where Hill broke off the big 50 yard run.
So, if you want to say they shit the bed - you could just point to game plan in the season home opener and say yeah, they outsmarted themselves and got away from their strength.

Context is everything. These weren't your typical "drops". They were literally right to the defender, and could've been caught by a child.
