Let's be real. As talented as the Bengals
WR room is, it's missing that mercurial burner
That can blow the top off the defense.
I'm talking DeShaun Jackson fast.
Boyd isn't the guy. Tee is built for contested
Catches and red zone leaping ability
Jamar is fast but is like a RB playing WR at times
Ultra fast WRs you don't have to scheme all the time
To get open.
I saw Marquis Goodwin get behind the Bengals
Secondary.his only routes he ran yesterday was to go routes. Which opened up the middle for Njoku and Cooper.

“Five letters here, just for everybody out there in Bengalland: R-E-L-A-X. Relax. We’re going to be fine.”

It didn’t take long for Bengals fans to start wondering when Burrow would deliver a first Super Bowl. The 2023 season opened flat with the Bengals losing their first game, a sleepy 24-3 defeat at Cleveland in Week 1. A few days later, Burrow will deliver one of the most iconic quotes of his career during his formerly weekly press conference wit Cincinnati. He will simply tell everyone to relax.

The sky was falling, and everyone was looking to Zac Taylor for answers. Rather than give in to the panic or try to justify the state of the team, Taylor repeatedly said that he was “on to Baltimore”. This became the 2023 Bengals’ rallying cry, and it all begins in Week two against the Ravens.

Both edited from early struggling 2014 teams, that went to the nfc championship (packers) and won Super Bowl (patriots).

Relax everyone, it will be fine.

So we won't have to practice in the elements.......

The idea that Zac Taylor's teams are going to stumble out of the gate each season? I mean as a fan it is rather annoying to see a so-called championship caliber team's offense playing like they all just met each other for the first time, but they'll improve, right?

Tough game to watch, I suggest we come up with some witty reasons how we looked a high school team today.

The offense was so bad (how bad was It).........The Dawg Pound threw the guys a few sympathy bones

Long year everyone, I am as disappointed as anyone, but only 1 game over, 16 to go and hopefully that was an outlier of things to come

From last season:

Eli Apple

Vonn Bell

Jessie Bates

Hunter Hurst

Kevin Huber

Samajie Perine

Trent Taylor

How many seasons and offensive line iterations is it going to take before we replace Polllock? This season was supposed to be the best OL we've had since 2015 and today this OL looked like it was out matched in every way shape and form. You can't blame Burrows calf on that. The guy at one point got hit within a second of having the ball snapped to him.

Pollock should have had this line ready week one and I hope the Bengals are ready to move on from him. At some point the well has to run dry with excuses and reasons why this lin e continues year after year to perform so poorly.

It cost us a Super Bowl and an AFC Championship game. If we stay status quo it will cost us this season as well. Rip the band aid off and get someone else in here to do the job because Pollock isn't cutting the mustard.

I think we neglect the human aspect of football.


Burrow had his worst game as a Bengals and we talk about his throws and stuff but Joe had a crazy week once you think about it.

He’s a 26 year old who signed a 275M dollar contract, sat on that for 3 days before going to work. Those 3 days must’ve been filled with every emotion known to man.

I know Joe gives off that cool guy vibe but if i was 26, won 275M and had to sit on it for a weekend i would not know what to do. It’s possible Joe partied or even if he’s not the party guy, whatever he did in those 3 days could have affected this game. It’s also possible he had really high stress and anxiety this weekend and just wasn’t prepared for today.

All had good games today.
We got silch from our backup RBs and we got silch from our TEs.
Hill did have an INT but Bates had 2 plus a forced fumble.

Point being maybe we shouldn't have taken these players for granted.

This?
