The problem is that teams like the Ravens & Cheifs, already dominating the Bengals based on the scoreboard, saw fit to spend more money to significantly upgrade positions where they were already stronger than the Bengals... like Guard. The Bengals, instead of beating them to the punch with that and getting a lot better, chose to replace guys with players who are barely, like, 5% better. The differences between the Raven/Cheifs and Bengals is far greater than 5%.... and those 2 teams ADDED MAJOR TALENT.
This off-season showed us how out of touch and disconnect the Bengals are compared to perennial powerhouses.
The player has to WANT to come here...I am so tired of this argument....I do not care about his sister's twitter account or him being from Dayton...We made an offer and the Chiefs (2 SBs in the last 2 years and a Championship) made a ridiculous offer and he took it. He got insane money to go to one of the top 3 teams in the NFL. FA is a two way deal.
