Way too talented to be 1-3.

Just saw a Twitter thread that said Callihan’s playbook is like only having sex missionary lol

At this point the Bengals are the "get it right" game on other teams schedule. We're averaging less than one TD per game, this is beyond pathetic.

Right

No part of having him play like this makes any sense. NONE He has no confidence, he has no mojo, the team has no confidence, you can see it.

That would be an upgrade. The playbook is more like celibacy: No scoring.

Nah, I can't get behind that. Sitting him WILL improve the calf, but I agree he needs to sit. Either to heal, or the let someone else give us a chance to win. But 1 thing stands true. JB dealing with the current play calling is not what he's used too. I think we are off the rails a bit. After his big contract, the coaching sucks, JB sucks. But I give JB a pass for injury. Not long tho. Either heal that shit up or GTFO of the backfield and give someone else a chance to do what you can't right now.

Agreed, sit Burrow and retool the roster for the '24 season.

Right

I get it, we're not doing much winning without Burrow. But guess what? We're not doing any winning with this version of Burrow either. Why risk him getting another ACL blown out for 3 points?

I was trying to come up with a witty reply to that, but yours wins.

maybe zac and Joe afraid McCarron comes in and wins 8 games straight lol

It's evident Callihan and ZT with their collective
Minds can't even out Scheme a no name
DC for the Titans or the Rams for that matter.
This offense is as predictable as rain falling in April.
And it doesn't help either that we don't have a WR after
Chase that is truly explosive

I’m just going to say it and if people flame me I don’t care: A healthy AJ McCarron gives Cincinnati a better opportunity to win than an injured Joe Burrow.

Beginning to think there is something else going on with Joe. I mean how can he fall off as far as he has in this short a time? Calf that limiting? He doesn't look like the same man as the last 2 years. Hard for me to believe Browning wouldn't have put up some TD's in 4 games. What I remember of him in PS he was pretty mobile and fairly accurate.

He wanted to date Taylor Swift, but Kelce beat him to it..

McCarron or Browning couldn't play any worse.

My biggest question is: how much of this ineptitude is on Burrow? This is why we need Browning or McCarron to start and play a full game so we can judge better.

Everyone that said it was ok to lose to the Rams and it was ok Ossai made one of the dumbest penalties in history. We will have plenty of chances at the Super Bowl. Needed to seize those opportunities. Not winning it this year and the team won’t be better next year.

They aren't making any playoffs this year with the way things are going. What they need to do is figure out what the hell is wrong and stop the bleeding so the rest of the season isn't a total disaster.

This team's offense hasn't scored a TD yet this season in the first half.

Give me a top 5 or 10 pick so we can get a CB CTB is not an outside CB he is a Slot corner at best.

That's still scoring. Something this offense can't do.

EDIT: Crap, just saw Kettering already got that joke.
