Tensions are rising in Bengal land. I wonder how the locker room will be if this misery continues. What a disappointment of a season and it feels it can get even worse, as a life long fan it feels the Cincinnati Bengals are definitely cursed. Thanks Paul and Jay for the weekly therapeutic sessions.
I for one appreciate the fact they get the disappointment over with early. Now I don't have to wonder whether or not they will be good this year. I can now dedicate my time to elsewhere.
This year was our shot and front office/Tobin blew it. This defensive unit is very flawed from its construction. All of it except the LB are not ready for this level of play. Leadership of the whole team is lacking on the field and off. Bates, Reader and Mixon were more than great players they were the leaders on this team. There is no future for this team. 99 Murphy looks lost out there. Dax should want out of here. Mims look capable. Next year Tee is out and Hendrickson is gone. Jamar will probably want to leave too. Play calling is predictable. O Line could NOT give Joe any time today. Joe will probably be injured again next year when O Line regresses as Kappa leaves. Prove me wrong front office and make some moves before the trade deadline do something!!!
How much longer till Joe suffers the Carson Syndrome where it becomes painfully obvious even to him that not enough is being done upstairs to build around him?
He's already at that point. I believe he'll have conversations with ownership at the end of the season and if things don't change, he's gonna ask for a trade.
Its sad that there has NEVER been a run game with ZT calling plays. Its a one trick pony show with Burrow shouldering the entire offense every game. I hope Burrow has a talk with Mike or Katie and lets them know what needs to change.
Like I wrote earlier, your team decided in 2017 to keep Randy Bullock on the team and put the kicker you drafted, Jake 'the Make' Elliott on your practice squad. Howie Roseman picked him up because Caleb Sturgis was hurt. Jake still holds the record for the longest kick as a rookie. He hit a 61-yarder in the final seconds to beat the NY Giants and helped us win SB LII. Sorry but GO BIRDS 💚🦅🏈
Could the DJ Reader and Jesse Bates III losses be THIS damaging? Lions are killing it, Falcons are over .500. What if we lose Tee AND Ja'Marr? Going back to the 90s...lol. Okay that's a little dark. Never know.
Dont rule it out. Theres no guarantee theyre even gonna extend Chase. Our media acted like its always been a sure thing no problem...but like anything involving this franchise its NEVER a guarantee or over UNTIL its official and the clock reads ZERO
Jay having watched this team since Horst Muhlman days an interesting Jays got Stats?...in games weve lost by 20 or more points what percentage of those did we also miss a Field Goal? Seems like historically the floodgates open up against us after we miss a FG. It seems especially " a thing" in the Zac regime?
I appreciate your tell it like it is coverage. They really aren't very good, and it is a bitter pill. One small thing to address - will the Bengals PLEASE learn how to run the ####### ball on 3rd and 4th and 1 and CONVERT? PLEASE?
Frank pollack can’t get fired fast enough when your title is run game coordinator and this is what we have bye. There needs to be a lot of coaching changes in the offseason many position groups just not developing and not getting it done
Players are now no longer able to mask terrible coaching. Letting Bates, Mixon, and Reader go, not developing draft picks, and not going after top tier free agents. Lets call it what it is, ownership is not serious about really winning. As long as the team is competitive all season, it's a cash cow. Sick and tired of the same old garbage. As long as the Brown family owns this team, they will never win a championship, period.
The new marvin lewis era has begun under this coaching staff and management expect nothing but the same old bungels. Just expect the fact we will never win a championship
Joe burrow is a jag. Just a guy.. hes nothing special in a league with stroud, love, daniels. Need a black qb to win now. Whitey isnt going to cut it. This aint the 90s
