I would think that a coach would also factor in the divisional competition too. Who wants to be stuck playing the Patriots twice a year, knowing that a wild card is all you can hope for? I like the Browns job but if that QB gets in with the owner, there’s gonna be a power struggle. I can’t tell which is higher, his talent level or his drama level.

It's pretty rare for any team to let go of a head coach after only one full season.

Depressing Reminder:

-AJ Green only has 1 year left on his contract.
-Tyler Boyd only had 1 year left on his contract.
(That means we are potentially only a year away from John Ross being the #1 WR on the team.)
-They have 0 TEs, all 3 are FAs.
-Their only reliably useful OL (Clint Boling) only has 1 year left on his contract.
-Giovani Bernard only has 1 year left on his contract.


....just a bit of a reality check for anyone who thinks that this might be a tempting situation for a HC because of the offense.

Bengals job is way better than most think. Perception is not reality. https://t.co/EQGeFrd3ne

That's not depressing, we just resign them.....

Yeah, people worry too much. Everyone was acting like Geno or Dunlap leaving was a forgone conclusion, yet we signed both.

AJ wants to be a Bengal (especially if Dalton is still here) and there’s no way we let Boyd get away.

So you're saying our offensive core is under contract for at least one more year?

Rodgers really hasn't been "Aaron 'friggin' Rodgers" lately though...and Green Bay's expectations are the same as when he was that dude.

My dumb ass thought the poll would rank in the order i clicked on each team.
Green Bay and Denver ahead of us. Tradition, great potential home field advantage in each case. Not sure i buy the Cleveland hype. Teams have film on BM now, let's see how 2019 goes b4 anointing him the next Bernie kosar, lol
