Keep going...No Cj-Hurst...No Huber...No Harris....No Cally...No Golden...No Jackson...No Livingston ...Its a whole different place then it was. The window was bound to close the key now is building it back up asap.
The term for it is BUNGALITIS. We thought were beyond all that with Joe ...but its back. Every week a new way to lose. Funble on goaline..4th and 16 pi...no stops against a rookie qb...botched fg. Whats next?
The comraderie 2021-22 bengals obviously are long gone. No Bates No Mixon No Perine No Boyd No Jonah No Reader No chito No Larry....its a whole new locker culture and no its no where near a top tier super bowl contender. The only question are u sneaking in playoff and out you go..contend for slot and fall just short....or...implode to a 5 win team and top s draft pick. That ending yet to be seen
I'm just going to try & see it as entertainment. It's entertaining to guess how we're going to lose this week. There should be prop bets like 'anytime bad decision by Zac', 'rookie mistake in the last minute'.
The problem with the Bengals offense is that they score too fast sometimes and dont try to control the ball to give the other team less of a chance. It's a clear design flaw that no one seems to mention. They are 28th in the rushing, again no one mentions that as a reason they are losing. You can't put that defense on a track and expect them to sprint all day. This is football 101 and these guys are clueless to it.
If we had a owner that was respected like his old man was you go get The Hoodie on the phone. Bill loved Paul and I'm sure he would love some redemption by getting back at Brady by winning a Lombardi in Cincinnati with a QB who is basically Brady 2.0 right now. So yeah - I'm done with Zac and dreaming.
It’s honestly the most obvious move a competent team would make. Get Zac out and bill in yesterday. Bengals won’t do it tho, I’d be shocked if Zac isn’t our head coach for the next 5 years…
The only thing that might be scarier than the Bengals current defensive roster will be the 2025 secondary!!! 🤯 - Mike Hilton will be a free agent and on the wrong side of 30 (walks for more $) ✌️ - Von Bell will be a free agent and on the wrong side of 30 (walks for more $) ✌️ - Dax Hill will be an unseasoned free agent recovering from reconstructive ACL surgery. The Bengals WILL sign his 5th year option anyways 😣 - Geno Stone will still be a Bengal that eventually gets benched. The Bengals will not trade or cut him during the off season despite a lack of production in 2024 😭 - Cam Taylor Britt will continue being more concerned about making highlight reels vs playing smart and technically sound defense 😞 Im really hoping the Bengals can somehow find a true CB#1 and that Tyson Anderson+DJ Ivey can bounce back from injury in 2025 to become reliable depth pieces!
I love this team and will continue to support this team but when u have a undisputed top 5 qb and your 1-4, that's unacceptable. Have joe burrow will put preasure on the front office, I agree. Palmer was talented but he isn't burrow. I really don't wanna change head coaches. I'd prefer to keep zac but however if something happens and he is let go. Do we go with a offensive coach again or a defensive coach. I'd maybe lean toward defense because we have burrow. Kind of the belichick/brady style. Interesting to think about. But hopefully they get it turned around and we won't half to have them conversations
Tobin has failed with replacement players. Taylor takes the ball out of your best player hands. Lou has no players accept Henderson. Drama with Chase and T.......Get to the point here. We are domed if this don't change!
And I would love if Zach Taylor would show some f****** emotion he's like a damn robot after every effing game and you're right Marvin Lewis has returned we are mediocre now at best and 1 and 4 record
I am still absolutely sick to my stomach and I don't know if I would have changed any of the play calling I know you play the win the game and when you start quarterback is as hot as he is and throws for 400 yd and five touchdowns can you take the ball out of his hands
You have to play win the game absolutely but I don't know if I could have or would have changed anything cuz we was in the field goal range but you play the win I'm taking the ball out of Joe burrows hands I don't know if I can live with that
To answer your question about how to attack the Ravens... I don't think Cincy will be able to have much success on the ground. The Ravens' soft spot so far has been the middle of the field. We've moved more to Dime with Hamilton playing DimeLB on pass downs and that's helped. But KC hurt us over the middle on early downs. And of course Chase and Higgins are problems for anybody on the outside. I expect them to test the rookie Wiggins when he's in the game. We will rotate the CBs some.
Oh you mean a legal tackle! Baltimore fans yelled Fuck Burrow after he got hurt and Roquan said in after game interview “that’s what happens when you play the Ravens”
Ravens rush stats are a bit inflated, Dallas wasn’t attempting to run, Raiders weren’t attempting to run. Bengals want efficiency, they obviously are a passing team but Chase Brown will surprise you
My surprise player to watch out for is ADG. With Hilton probably not playing & I don't think they start 3 WRs, I would start ADG & have him spy Lamar. We gotta sell out to stop the run, make Lamar beat us with his arm.
Having one side in that can block his ass off, and enjoys it thoroughly is great to have. Having two tight ends that can block their asses off, and thoroughly enjoy it. Is out f*****g standing. It is a unique weapon for an offensive arsenal.
Bengals have surrounded Burrow and Chase with second and third tier talent. They missed on draft picks and most of the FAs were downgrades of players they let go.
when you let key players leave over the last few years on defence and expect rookies to step up straight away, unless you have a lot of depth you are asking for trouble ...
