Interesting watch... only 11:28 if you have the time.

Don't even need to watch the video. There's a picture of Joe Burrow as the thumbnail. That's the answer.

It defiantly starts with Burrow. But we don’t make the Super Bowl last year without that defense. Hitting on key free agents (Hill, Awouzie, Hendrickson, Reader, Hilton, Apple), hitting on draft picks (Wilson, Pratt). They carried us through the playoffs. And they’ve carried us a couple games this year. We’re nobody without Burrow, but there’s more to it than just getting him. And I didn’t even mention hitting on 2nd round pick Higgins and top 5 pick Chase to be as good as he is. It’s not easy to pick an all pro even with a top 5 pick.

"Just ask the New England Jets" @ 10:35. So the creator of this video states.

Yea... I left a comment on YouTube about that.  :)

Not even gonna watch the video


We drafted Burrow and Chase


Those 2 could rebuild ANY roster in the league right now.

Yes…even the Texans. Put Burrow and Chase on the Texans and the Texans would at least fight in the AFC

The way they built the team goes way beyond Burrow and Chase. They built the core of the team through drafting and MID TIER free agents. The key to this was hitting FAR more often than not on those free agents. Not having bad contracts or a ton of dead money made this a sustainable build rather than a sell out and rebuild.

This....and I don't even have to watch. It should be obvious.

......and this 

The key was being absolutely terrible to land the #1 pick
..and there being an elite qb to draft there.

Then, Chase was big.

Getting an elite qb on a rookie deal is a cheat code.

Will watch later when afforded the time but really I give a lot the credit for the turnaround to Katie Blackburn.

Joe Burrow and Chase are huge parts of the turnaround, but believe she is responsible for the FA spending we all wanted for eons.

Katie is my FO hero !

.....and her kids are doing bang up PR work. The organization has modernized all around finally, lol.

It's a very welcome change in my book

There’s definitely a lot more to the story than Joe and Chase.

I’ll rank them:
1. Burrow
2. Solid drafting besides just Chase including character
3. Free Agency success including character
4. The culture and instilling confidence
5. The coaching staff
6. Ownership cooperation

I watched the video. When I saw Marvin Lewis (who I respect), Alex Redmond and some of the other old guard, I threw up a little in my mouth a little.

Tyler Boyd was asked Sunday how the #Bengals have turned the rivalry with the Steelers.

Boyd: "We've got Joe Burrow."
Reporter: "It's as simple as that?"

I started watching and got to about the middle but the guy was getting people's names wrong, had us signing some Mike Hinton 
Corner and stuff who I think he meant Mike Hilton but man, the dude didn't research clearly. I just stopped watching after seeing
that. Need a much better vid than that to represent what Zac, Lou and the FO have done in the past 3 or so years in turning this 
team into a contender.

It is the biggest turnaround I have ever witnessed by an NFL team.

It is more than just that, but he sure is the big reason why we turned the team around. Brings another level of confidence to the team.
