"The question should be why is the offense so horrible with the amount of money that is already invested?"  You seriously do not know this answer?  Maybe read a book called NFL 101, the chapter titled; Losing a franchise QB is detrimental to an offense....?  That statement is fatuous and absurd.

We can agree that both sides are getting paid way more than they are producing.   I can agree that the lack of offense is part of the reason why the defense was so bad this year. 

But let's not act like we dont understand the impact of losing Burrow.

I also compared total spending for offense being at 106.1 million which is 6th most in the NFL vs. the defense at 86.4 million which is 10th.  Both defense and offense require 11 guys plus their backups so it is what it is.   The Bengals have invested more in their offense but lets blame Lou and the defense when the offense is just as bad yet has more money invested into it.  If the Bengals had spent that much money on defense, they wouldnt have needed Nick Scott and could have brought back both Bates and Bell.


Its also funny to hear how great the offense was for a 5 game stretch of a 17 game season.   We need more than 5 good games from a 106 million dollar offense if we want to make the playoffs.   I guess 106 million for an offense doesnt buy what it used to.
