When was the last time Bengals won a game? 0-3 preseason, 0-2 so far. 1-8 including the 3 from end of last year and only reason they beat the Browns is cause they were already in the playoffs and rested their starters. So, 1-8 including preseason (which I count) and 3 from last year end. Yep, a winning tradition with all these weapons and superstars.

There are clearly problems in the building. They always seem to be building, rebuilding but never get it built.

Using losing preseason games to show a team doesn't win???

We do need both. Ironically has Burrow made it such that we can't have either?

We can have Chase...IF we structure the guarantees different. Or, we could have Tee.

We likely can't have both.

But man, once we sign one of them I wonder how much the rest of the roster is going to decline...

There probably isn’t anyone else up for a big payday anytime soon. Maybe CTB, but that’s about it.

Yes, contrary to what many here think, it builds a WINNING habit and culture. I guess in the pro's it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's the money contract and resetting the market so I assume that is why everyone uses the excuse that losing preseason games don't count. I know, I know , evaluating talent and these guys will be used car salesmen that are cut.  OK, so subtract the 3 pre games and they are 1-4.

Trey? But, he's already making a good bit.

Trey is under contract for one more season. And he’ll be 32 once his deal is up. Not sure he’s in their long term plans.
