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.

It's a shame that Tee is still recovering from the hamstring, otherwise the team could just run 12 personnel all game and run or pass at will.

A healthy Burrow, Chase and Higgins creates mismatches. No Higgins, Chase has to stay outside more making it easier to double team him. Teams can't double Higgins and Chase, they can play zone, but Burrow eats up zone defenses.

Gesicki is also a weapon. Higgins is an important piece to our offense. Chase has not peaked and Higgins when healthy (yes, he needs to try and stay healthy from things like hamstrings which he knows he has a history of, so medical staff and him need to do more prevention) is a stud as well.

I hoping Burton grows quickly, I think he can be really good by the end of 2024 if he keeps working hard. He has something Yoshi seems to lack, break away and separation speed.

The Bengals have been here before, they played a tough game and had a shot to beat KC again in KC. KC is the 2-time defending Super Bowl champs and we outplayed them on their turf. A year ago, we dismantled the 49ers at their place.

As for one game at a time, our offense needs to come out fast and get is a comfortable lead, so they have to pass the ball. I feel better with our DL against the pass than the run due to injuries. We can't let them control T.O.P. and keep our offense off the field.

Think about it we might also lose Both superstars next year.  Cry
Chase is going no where and luckily WR has the most depth so Higgins will be replaceable

Switch Yoshi with Gesicki.

Still say the Bengals would have been better trading Tee this year and drafting his replacement with the pick received in trade. Then used his money in FA, signing multiple players that could help out immediately.

The offensive scheme is what is in need of changing the most imo.

Because we haven't started 0-2 with both Chase and Tee...
