Spent years upon years upon years after the Paul Brown Ownership era ended hoping to see the Bengals win a Playoff game during

the Mike Brown Ownership era. Didn't care how it may happen. Main starter Carson Palmer gets injured still hoped that maybe Jon Kitna

could get it done for one Playoff win or maybe AJ McCarron could win one with Andy Dalton out. Always fell short.

In comes Joe Burrow and winning Playoff games (PLURAL) starts happening and I CHANGE as a Bengals fan.

Get to less than a minute to go in the Super Bowl against the Rams, Bengals with the ball on 4th and 1 before Aaron Donald

stops the Bengals from winning a Super Bowl.


I am NOT the same Bengals Fan. Don't long for a Playoff game win anymore. It is Super Bowl hopes during Burrow's time here.

Jake Browning or AJ McCarron have maybe a snow balls chance of winning the Bengals a Playoff game this year and way less of a chance

of winning a Super Bowl this season. The Super Bowl chances are sidelined with Burrow until next season as they very likely would be

sidelined for the Chiefs if Patrick Mahomes was out for the year and Blaine Gabbert stepped in as their backup. Would the Chiefs win

a few more games with an experienced Blaine Gabbert & Andy Reid versus the less experienced Bengal backups and Zac. Probably.

Does either Team win a Super Bowl this year that way ? Very likely not.


*May not be popular or even being a Good Fan but once I heard Burrow was out for the season (other than temporarily hoping that Browning

could pull a Brock Purdy level of success right away) I hoped for Close Competitive games from the Bengals with close losses for most of the

remaining games. (Enough to gain a Higher Draft pick in each 2024 Draft round, a last place Schedule for next year and go for a Super Bowl

in 2024)

I am not interested in firing Zac or blowing up the Coaching Staff to start over. Maybe tweak the Staff or the Offense to protect Burrow better

and gain more balance with an improved run game, more play action. Zac and Company tweak their own System. Keep Lou Anarumo.

My gut tells me that these Coaches will see the need to be adaptive and make tweaks & changes to help protect Burrow.

*I saw a Super Bowl and 2 AFC Championship Playoff appearances with Burrow and these Coaches.

One year from now, I expect to see discussions on this Message Board about how the Bengals are a Contender to gain the number 1 Seed

AFC bye week if Burrow is playing.

Despite the cosmetic changes with the stadium and ring of owner, the Brown family are still greedy. They don’t care about winning. My hope was the changes to the organization would manifest itself into a perennial winning team. They had money left over in the cap to use for Bell or Perrine but too cheap to pay their worth. They still have the smallest scouting staff and front office. It is mind numbing how inept the Brown family is since they cannot get it right. There is no excuse not able to win when your franchise QB goes down considering the claims of a cultural change. Nothing has changed! We still cheer for a team owned by a family who don’t want to do the things that other winning organizations do to win. Don’t tell me they own a small market team and can’t. I will tell all of you to look at Pissburgh and they always have a winning team. This is miserable as a fan. Nothing has changed, the past two years was an aberration

So I watch A LOT of football...college and pro.

Rarely do I see QBs see the rush coming and hold onto it as long as Browning does. He'd actually try to evade it, bur he's too slow.

There were 2 times where he saw a defender running at him from 15 yards or so away and got sacked.

Throw it away. Do anything...but take a sack.

It's amazing how awful Zac, Brian and Lou look when they don't have elite talent. Bates and Bell carried Lou and Burrow carried Zac and Brian. Unfortunately the Bengals are probably stuck with these bozos for years to come...

Backup QB (barely any experience) - check
Late November game with iffy weather - check
Going against below average Pitt rush defense - check

Rush it for 8 times (for 16 yards) - check check check.

I put this loss on Taylor and company. Browning is what he is right now. Defense was out there 37 minutes to the offense's 23 minutes, and did enough for a win. But to utilize the run game like they did is about as bad as I have seen. At this point, I am pretty much in the camp that the entire offensive coaching staff needs a big shakeup.

Which player will step up and put the team on their shoulders?

Joe Mixon? a great game from a team captain could make the difference

Tyler Boyd? the most senior Bengal who has uncharacteristically been dropping passes this year. Jake needs sure hands

Ted Karras? team captain and acknowledged offensive line leader...will he get this group on the same page

Will it be someone on the defense who does more than expected?

Joe Burrow to IR
Chase Brown activated

AJ McCarron-PS game day elevation

We have made the following moves:

-Placed QB Joe Burrow on the Reserve/Injured list

-Returned HB Chase Brown to the active roster from the Reserve/Injured list

-Elevated QB AJ McCarron from the practice squad to the active roster for tomorrow’s game against Pittsburgh

I'm blessed to have the opportunity to return to The Jungle again on Sunday.

I'm hoping to bring Browning a little luck.

I have a feeling the D steps up (although struggling a bit against the run), and Yoshi, Hudson, and Mixon have good days.

Starting to think he's checked out for the rest of the season

This guy has been a disaster. Thankfully he wasn't 20+ million and accepted only 16 million per year. But still too much for this.
