Who’s to say we wouldn’t have won the SB.Joe was lame in the Browns game, both Ravens game, and Titans. Then missed 7 games. I agree about the other stuff. Trending downward? We beat SF soundly on the road. Everybody says they didn’t have Trent Williams or Debo. Well the 31 points was on their full strength defense. We also dominated the Bills.

Doesn't matter.
That's a "What if?"
As of right now, Bengals have gone by year since 2021:
2021 - Super Bowl
2022 - AFCCG
2023 - 9-8, missed playoffs

What I meant from what I said was can they sign good enough FAs and draft well enough to continue being a championship-caliber team.
Adding Trent Brown today really does help solidify the OL, albeit only for this season.
At some point, Bengals will have to start getting good production out of their draft picks because these core veterans will either start becoming too expensive or too old.
