The Bengals defense got the job done vs the 49ers only giving up 460 yards....?

Vs the Bills we got the job done with 54 yards rushing?


You have only enforced my take even more.  I hope we win out, but this narrative that we are a super solid team and anyone can step into play QB is a farce.  Your opinion simply reveals a total lack of understanding of our offensive scheme which depends up on WRs winning every play and Joe making the absolutely correct read and throwing perfect ball.  And the defense has been pathetically awful.

Keep your pom poms out all you want, but many of us being realistic are not being a bad fans.  This team has a lot to improve upon in order to win some games.

I think it would be fair to say the team as a whole including offense were not performing at SB level this year , we had zero 400 yard passing games and only 2 game where we threw 3 tds even with less pressures and sacks from last couple year,  couple that with the defense struggles we were not playing at SB level but to say the team lacks the talent to be a contender with only Burrow is a bit of a unknown,  since if you look at post season  with Burrow of 9 tds and 260 ypg in 7 games was not that impressive so little doubt the defense carried us in games in post season also. Obviously we are in much better position with Burrow to make playoff runs but we also have shown we have talent around him and on defense that can win games also.
