I'm just tired of Bengals football, man

We can make all the Burrow excuses we want but they had a crap starting QB and then played with backups all season and still did better than we did. Same with the Browns QB situation.

We seem to play division teams scared every time. Its frustrating. 

1-5 in the division is just embarassing. Horrible defense, Horrible offensive line. Burrow injuries mounting. Hard to see much of a positive future right now. Back to the AFCN basement again, back to being the Bengals of old it seems. Hope I'm wrong.

I think the obvious constants with the AFCN teams comes down to 3 things:
The ability to run the ball.
The ability to stop the run.
Having multiple pass rushers.

Being good at these 3 things allows for low scoring games that can go either way and do not necessitate a QB winning games for the team.
