Yeah, I know it's frustrating when there are obvious needs and watching the trading deadline pass or other teams picking up talent during the season. I wonder if it stems from the mindset of someone with a net worth that comes in 31st among the 32 teams, while some of the other owners treat their teams as playthings or something for their prestige. No idea why, but there was a great opportunity this year to win a Super Bowl and I wish the Bengals could have done something more than an OL waiver-wire pickup.
At any rate, I have a bad feeling the Bengals could lose the DC who was key to the last two years. The Bengals defense was 6th in the league this year in points/game.
