I bought in at the beginning,i thought the offense looked like it could be elite. We have studs on offense , green, mixon,eifert when healthy and tyler boyd looks like houshmanzadeh cloned. Plus had ross out there scaring defenses. Then injuries happened. This is to be expected every year and marvin and coaches arent good when this happens. Even hue , scaled it way back when mccaron took over. 

Then i start to see the big flaws, coaching doesnt stick with running game, they got rid of our good fullback/tight end its always single back or shotgun. No creative play calling. Qb is average. Nothing great about him. If he plays really well it doesnt last long,his best games are usually in october. Couldnt get ross in the game plan they didnt trust him and still really dont. You need atleast 3 good receiving targets like 2015 thats what we had. Thats what we had at the beginning of the year. Bengals do not seek guys in free agency to help, i was hoping they would even when green was healthy. We needed that 3rd guy. Even when green comes back i bet they do not target ross much. 

Its on the coaching staff to get guys involved. They should know to run mixon and hes our 2nd best guy on offense. Not to mention gio isnt that good anymore. Hes always stopped, hes still a ok receiving option. After gio it drops more,why we stuck with that guy i dont know,i feel like he was a wasted pick when we had better in brian hill and tre carson. Tight ends i dont think they use enough. Uzomah is pretty decent now but they dont go to him often. Jordan franks looked good on his 1 catch then they bench him. 

The defense i feel was our weakness this year but it still could create turnovers and didnt use the right lb's plus vontaze isnt the same,if he was then even better defense. 

The problem is like always,from top down,owner, coaches , qb. Them are your main components to a team. The coaches determine who you draft and who plays,and calling plays,and do they fight for calls. Qb is the most important position on a team. Linebackers are about as important as a qb. In the playoffs watch what you see out of the coaches,qb's ,and linebackers. Im guessing itll be the two star studded qbs in the playoffs with great coaching. Saints vs pats. I dont know who will win. It could also be saints vs kc. I think pitt probably makes it to the afc championship since thats goodels team and they got the refs. 

We’re the second youngest team in the league with good, dare I say budding young star(s). The window is still open for this team. I’ve said if they don’t do anything this year, they’re gonna surprise a lot next year, even with Marvin (although I’d welcome a new coach).
