I can’t really care about being the first division with all teams above .500 when they will be the only ones out of the postseason.

They are out of the playoffs and have clinched last place so this week is the one game where I won’t be disappointed at all if they lose.

I was slammed by many, maybe rightfully so, when I said we should be ok with losing games, not rooting for losses - just being ok with them, after Burrow went down and with this terrible defense as we would not go anywhere even if we made the playoffs, so we could draft serious difference makers.  If Newton is half of Aaron Donald he would have been a major upgrade for us.

At this point they’ve missed out on the top TE, top 2 receivers, top 3 Olineman, top defensive tackle. There will be cb’s late in the teens, but we’ve likely missed out on most of the top talent in positions of need.

So let me get this straight my Bengal Brothers, Do you prefer the Bengals go 8-9 instead of 9-8 ????
