Fan Salute. Bengals Never Quit 2023 Season - kevin - 01-08-2024
Hopes were high after Super Bowl and AFC Championship 2 years in a row. However had someone told you at beginning of season that Joe Burrow would only win 5 games, hopes would have been low. Joe Burrow started season injured again and Bengals took early losses again as they waited for Burrow to get healthy again. When Burrow got healthy the Bengals beat the 49ers and Bills and looked like the Super Bowl team. Then we saw Burrow on the sidelines trying to throw the ball and bending over in pain. Painful throwing wrist injury. So Burrow started the season injured and left the season early injured. At that point many thought Bengals would not win another game. Enter Browning who kept Bengals in play-off race until tough road games Christmas and New Years of At Pittsburgh and At Kansas City. So Burrow won 5 games and Browning won 4 games
Fans should give Bengals credit for Super Bowl season, AFC Championship Game season back to back and then this 9-8 season with Burrow only healthy enough to win 5 games. They never quit. With Browning they stayed in the play-off race up to the At Kansas City Game, which Bengals played tough. They finished with a win over Cleveland.
The point in season Bengals where beating 49ers and Bills, the Bengals looked on their way back to play-offs. Then Burrow in pain due to wrist injury. Give Bengals and Browning credit, they stayed in the play-off hunt up to New Years weekend. Had somebody told you Burrow would only win 5 games and Bengals would stay in play-off hunt up to New Years, you would have said No Way. Bengals fought Hard. They Never Quit. They never made excuses. They won 9 games for a winning record. Bengals have nothing to be ashamed of. Fans should be Proud of this team and those that aren't are Good Time Charlie's, not true Bengals Fans.
Good Job Bengals.....NO QUIT....Winning Record Season
