Im pretty well convinced dementia boy isnt going to do anything this season or the offseason because 5 wins is success to him and losses by 6 points or less count as wins. I can this entire team blowing up and having a meltdown. Tee is gone, im not sure Chase will resign and I can see a scenario where Burrow wants out, and I cant blame him. Is there a chance Burrow goes to the front office demanding change and anything happens???? Coaches being fired, Zac giving up play calling, etc.
Its no secret we have zero pass rush outside of Trey. Does anyone else find themselves screaming at the tv wondering why we consistently drop into coverage and never blitz opposing qb's. This is common sense football but these idiots continue to do the same thing week in and week out. When your secondary is mediocre and your pass rush is non existent its creating a nightmare scenario for coverages. Makes me puke at the lack of blitzing we do and I dont wanna hear how spying Hurts and Jackson and those guys is the way to go BS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heat them up and force mistakes
You hear all kinds of excuses. When Tee is out we're not good, Burton doesn't know the offense, Moss was a set back, Burrow has regressed, We have no true WR #3, of course the play calling, and on and on. And I'm not saying there isn't any truth there, however.
The true problem is we just aren't good enough up front, in the trenches. We have like 3 can maybe push it to 4 decent O and Dlineman out of 9. We suck at run blocking, we regularly see way too much pressure on JB coming up the middle.
We get very little to no pressure on opposing QB's outside of Hendrickson. We get gashed in the run game. The defense can't get off the field and the offense can't stay on it. Why??
Bengals lost to a very possible Super Bowl team in The Eagles....But they can get after The Raiders and then hang a loss on The Ravens to get to 5-5 and 2-1 in AFC North play with games to take it to The Steelers.
Those ready to QUIT before Halloween, it is too early. There is NO QUIT in Football.
For those wanting a heads up this is Colin Cowherd and John Middlekauff give their thoughts on the Bengals/Eagles game and have absolutely nailed it with how the front office is so cheap and unwilling to do what it takes to produce a winning organization. They talk about Browns not paying for a great head coach and staff and how the result is always the same. Bengals conversation start at 28:22.
The honest truth is that we have a bad football team,we suck at winning the los on both sides of the ball and here lately we've been getting outcoached way more than I would like to see..
Lou anarumo's defense is struggling in all areas, the unit can't cover and the unit has problems getting to the opposing qb if it's not Hendrickson, The organization has given him ctb (2nd round) d.j turner (2nd rd) dax Hill (1st rd)Jordan battle (3rd rd)myles Murphy (1st rd)Kris Jenkins jr (2nd rd)mckinnley jackson (3rd rd) and we look like a defense devoid of talent..
The offense is just as bad,every year we struggle to run the ball with efficiency against 7man boxes every freaking year since zac has been here..We can never beat teams with our running game,we truly need to change the philosophy on offense this off-season and make running the ball effectively a focal point and priority number 1..If we're not getting rid of zac then we should take away his authority over the offense simple and plain let pitcher design something that has consistency and identity..
Ownership must stop with all the bs they've been doing too,time to hire more scouts, time to get chase deal done,time to get higgins deal done, time to blow up the interior oline, and time to start holding coaches/players accountable..right now as it stands we're 0-4 at home smh this is absolutely unacceptable these are the folks that's putting food on the table and you guys can't win 1 game in front of them..Everybody in that locker room should be ashamed I think we may have to blow it up after the season..
It was too early in the game, the game was close. Going for it on 4th down gave Eagles the ball already in Field Goal position. I can see it on the other side of the 50, but in that situation YOU PUNT. You punt because it's a close game and not picking up the 1st down was the same as a fumble giving Eagles great field position. Eagles took control of the game from then on. It's not rocket science. 4th down around your own 35, you Punt and try to pin them back. The score was close with plenty of time on the clock, Going for it was Stupid.
I don't think he's 100%. Either physical or mental. He scrambled well today, but he hasn't had the execution he once had. He's still a top 10 QB, but something feels off with him. This dink and dunk play calling is horrid. Now, I'm positive he has the authority to audible, but is he? Has he lost his drive? Is he studying the films like he used too? I have to be serious, when he started with that haircut and dye, the catwalk with the open shirt, and whatever shenanigans he was doing before the season, I started to get concerned about his focus.
Todays Burrow is not the Burrow from 2yrs ago.
Burrow's interception today: My opinion has nothing to do with that. QB's eventually throw IT's. But did you see the drive or spark in his eyes that we normally see? Has his will to win at all cost diminished? Please tell me I'm wrong. Dude is making mad money and we need production for every cent.
If we don't start winning, I see Chase gone. We're not going to pay Chase if the team is not clicking and we have a mad chance at a run.
