1. Losing Ben Roethlisberger.

3. Losing Antonio Brown to first the Oakland Raiders and then to insanity.
4. Maurkice Pouncey was suspended.
5. Starting third- and fourth-string quarterbacks.
6. Losing James Conner.

Could it possibly be their defense and their offensive line are so good it doesn’t matter who the skill players are? YES

Why haven’t the Bengals learned anything from this after going 0-10 against the Steelers since 2015? BECAUSE THEY'RE STUPID

Look no farther than practice facilities. The Steelers have an entire facility. 4 outdoor fields and a couple big indoor portions.

The Bengals practice on fields under a bridge.

The Steelers have many more player personnel staff than us.

One team is a mom and pop shop essentially. The other is Amazon.

Legit, I've detoxed from the Bengals for the past few days...and I'm honestly coming to the conclusion that following this team and spending this much time on the board is pointless. We can debate moves they SHOULD make all we want...but they likely won't change.

Superbowl or not, we haven't won a single playoff game in many of our fans lifetime. To them, nothing has changed. It's like golf, you don't win 1st place, you're a perennial phil mickelson. Or worse, simply a no namer. Nobody remembers 3rd place, and most don't even remember 2nd.

Bengals 1991-2002...….. Zero winning seasons. Dead last in wining percentage among all teams that existed for that entire era.
Bengals 2003-present.... Top half of league in winning percentage.  Top 10 in playoff seasons.

The Bengals still have not won a Super Bowl since the start of the nineties but neither has over half of the teams in the league.  We have not won the ultimate prize, but anyone who claims that NOTHING HAS CHANGED is just going through mental gymnastics in order to glorify his victim status.
