2022: They lose to KC in the AFCCG and they scream “scripted”! As if the only way KC could beat them is with ref help and a “scripted”. 2024: They lose to KC on a blatant DPI and once again it’s the “script”. 2024: KC rests their starters in a meaningless game as they already locked up the 1 seed and don’t want to lose players or put anything on film. Then a change.org petition is made (believe that it might be trolling) because KC didn’t make enough of an attempt to beat Denver and allow the 9-8 Bengals to make the playoffs. This is only because KC apparently is “scared” of Cincy. |

Dax Hill is not a difference maker in the secondary. The DL they've drafted have been noncontributors. I think Lou is really good, if he has the guys he needs and the system can function. Kind of like Spags. But if he doesn't have the guys he needs, it falls apart. |

I'll just post the best post I saw on reddit regarding this topic:
The Bengals should have done more with their last place schedule. |
Personally, I haven't slept in three days because I'm so scared of the Bengals. I'm haunted by a vision of Joe Burrow standing in my closet, staring at me. He looks like Freddy Krueger with a shitty haircut.

It will be interesting to see what the Bengals do in this offseason. It's really a transitional one for them. Higgins and Chase need the huge new deals. Hendrickson is going to want a big payday. That's an awful lot of signing bonus cash all due at the same time for a team that hasn't had a lot of flexibility with that in the past. |
i think firing lou is idiotic. they basically let all their defensive talent walk because the owner is cheap and havent replaced them at all. what exactly were they expecting?

Quote:
The Bengals have Hendrickson, the Lions have Hutchinson and the rest of the parts are pretty comparable around their big guns. ESPECIALLY this version of the Lions where most of their key defensive players are hurt. The offensive weapons are comparable -- the Lions have Gibbs/LaPorta and the Bengals don't, but St. Brown/Williams aren't at the same level as Chase/Higgins either. And the Lions just keep winning games. Big games against quality opponents. Meanwhile the Bengals keep looking for justifications as to why they lose them. It's not just talent - the Bengals organizational mindset is just balls. Zac Taylor's complete refusal to have these guys ready to play when the season starts is one of the strangest damn things I've ever seen. Taylor is 8-15-1 in September since he's been the HC. He's started 0-2 in 5 of his 6 seasons. It still seems to me like Taylor's an OC masquerading as a HC. |

The Chiefs traded away Hill and we all saw what happened. The Bills are trying that same approach right now and look like a freight train going into the playoffs.
The Bengals are not only going to retain one WR1, they're going to try and sign TWO. That should tell fans everything they need to know about Super Bowl "windows". |

It was time for a change. The biggest issue is going to be, are the Bengals willing to open their tight fists and spend some badly needed money. Most probably aren't aware of this but when Zac was hired, no one wanted this DC job with this franchise where they were at. Lou was, at least, Zac's 5th choice. This time around, there will be a line forming at the Bengals door, because it gives that guy a good stepping stone to becoming a HC somewhere. |

Also, they only have about 300k dead cap. Every other team in the top 15 has mutimillions in dead cap and only 6 other teams have less than 1M, including the Chiefs. The ability is there but it's going to take a philisophical change from the front office for any of it to matter. The ragging on this guy or that guy or front office or coach is what keeps this fun but the truth of the matter is, with an average defense and an average oline, this is a SB contending team. |

That 06 Bengals team should have done some serious damage.
Instead they went 8-8. Very similar to this year. |

Penny pinching Slow starts Patchwork Oline Small scouting dept There needs to be a lot of big changes, some maybe not even realistic, for this team to mean anything. Catching lightning in a bottle every 30 years isn't a plan for success. Coaches/players from within to replace good people that leave, isn't a plan for success. Trying to re-invent the wheel, isn't a plan for success. |
Quote:
Bengals fans can point to philisophical changes over the last 5 years, but those are mostly off-field things and things other teams started doing 10 to 20, if not more, years before the Bengals. I've always said, this FO is always about a decade behind the rest of the NFL when it comes to changing and adapting. |

Assuming they will, you still have to make good use of resources. You're going to have a hard time convincing Bills or Chiefs fans that Joe not only NEEDS Chase but needs Higgins, too. They're built almost the opposite of the AFCs other good teams and will continue to be if they aren't selective. |

On field, things are moving slower but the FA class of '21 was a major change. I don't know if his death will bring much more movement because his daughter is the one that has run the team as much as anyone and along with her husband, treated Andrew Whitworth like shit at the end of his Bengals career. I think there's a chance...a chance...that things start to change when he's completely out of the picture but more than anything, and this is kind of silly, the immense black cloud that seems to hang over this team will finally be gone. |

To my previous post, it's one thing to tie up cap. If they were to sign Chase and Higgins to somewhat standard deals, they're looking at $20-25M, if that, for a cap hit in 2025. They will have plenty of cap space.
The problem for the Bengals ownership is that standard, back loaded deals almost always come with a bunch of up-front guarantees. They're looking at having to pay them way north of $100M just to sign. Do they have $250M in cash to actually do it? And if they do, will they want to spend that much in one off-season? I'd be hard pressed to be a Bengals fan right now. Burrow is obviously one of the very best QBs in the game. His offense is loaded and it's exciting. The organizational dysfunction though is just astounding at times. They don't seem to be blazing the same trail that the guys on the field are. They don't seem to be making some of the bold moves that might be necessary. I mean let's face it, they have Burrow and Chase because they sucked bad enough to get those picks? What else have they really done? I guess I just don't see much urgency from the Brown family. |
Quote:
Yes to your second point and it's why i keep saying they're trying to re-invent the wheel. It's almost a foregone conclusion that Tee will be re-signed. In a wierd, ironic twist of events, it's their penny-pinching that would allow them to sign both WRs and still put a team on the field to compete. Like i said before, they just need an average Oline and defense and they're competitive, but do they have the brains to find those players. the magic 8 ball isn't so sure right now. I'd love for them to do things that have traditionally been sucessful for other NFL franchises, but they won't let me in the building to twist all of their stupid arms off. |
Also, Joe Burrow is gonna have to suck it up some. He's got Chase. Allen watched his team trade away Diggs. Mahomes watched Tyreek Hill go to Miami.
Of course, if you can keep the guy and make it make sense financially, you want to do it. At the same time, how bad does Burrow want to win more than just Pro Bowl appearances? |

Any single one of those 7...any one...and they're in the playoffs right now. The Chiefs were an insane 11-1 in one score games. Any single one of those wins goes the other way and you have to play starters for the #1 seed. This was just a weird season. The thing is...in order for the changes that need(ed) to happen for this team, it's probably best that it turned out the way it did. One more win or one more loss from KC and who knows how this offseason goes after the playoffs are finished? |

It worked for him in college when he couldn’t beat out the random OSU QBs and had to transfer to the stacked LSU team to finally win. It’s no wonder he is begging for Higgins. To him having two number 1 receivers is just normal. |
