This team has dropped two heartbreakers to the two best teams in the AFC; KC and Balt. Both games that they were in and could've easily won. They've had a couple of stinkers in the middle, but are coming off of a division win.
The sky isn't falling! Complaining after a division win is so atypical Bengal fan!
The goal isn’t a division win, it’s a Super Bowl. Talk about seeing the forest through the trees….

I don't think they are going to have one dedicated "slot receiver". They will mix and match personnel. You will see Chase, Geiseki, Yoshi, Chase Brown, Burton, and even maybe Higgins all line up in that slot position.
I think this will be an innovation that many other teams in the NFL start copying as teams continue to try and take WRs out of the game with cover 2 and cloud coverage.
I'm excited about the possibilities. The Bengals finally have the personnel to dictate the concept.
Same with TE, they dont seem to care

Beating the browns and the giants is good. If they played a good team the last two weeks, they might be 1-1 or even 0-2.

wonders if Yoshi could improve if they gave him more opportunity...and consistency..he seems to have the physical talents

Beating the Browns is great! Beating them in C-Land is even better. They've been whipping our asses pretty regular since JBs arrival. You gotta savor an in state and division win, not ***** about it.

He’s had all the opportunities in the world. Especially the first couple weeks when Tee was out. The red zone TD’s were nice, but a WR2/3 need to bring more between the 20’s.

I literally said it is good. You can also observe that there is a need at the same time.

Tom Brady was a 6th rounder FYI. Where they get drafted doesn't mean shit.

They definitely need to use a high pick on a WR next year.

Or better yet, just sign Tee.
But yeah, if they don’t there’s no choice but to.

Signing Tee is really gonna handicap everything else. The front office really screwed themselves with these awful drafts

They really don’t have anyone else to pay besides the 2 WR’s.

LOL. It does matter. Just go look at success rate by round. The later in the draft, the lower chance it materializes.
Other 6th round QBs. This list is not exhaustive.

Amen Coach!! I am laughing my ass off at the number of passive/aggressive fans on here! We score over 30 points and lose, people saying the offense is firing on all cylinders everybody contributing but the defense sucks. We win 2 tough games because the defense got some players back and the offense scores just enough points to win and we are back to so and so sucks, the coaches suck, the play calling sucks, the scouting department sucks, FO sucks, the mascot sucks, the guy painting the lines on the fields sucks, not sure if I missed anyone..

I am all for paying Tee now, he has stayed healthy lately and has been taking hits and making big catch after big catch.
I was against extending him in the Offseason, he has made me a believer. Sign them both.

This an incredibly simplified way of thinking. Generally speaking the round someone is drafted in is highly predictive of the career they will have. Notice that I say highly predictive and not perfectly predictive. You have your Tom Bradys and Brock Purdys but you have a lot more Jim Sorgis and Brandon Allens. There is a whole lot of nuance you are missing here by trying to make it binary and when we talk about making it binary, it's a lot closer to being perfectly predictive than it is to "not meaning shit".
