Also, a new GM needs to be brought in regardless IMO. More scouts etc.
It also would not surprise me if we went on a run and won every game from here on out. Zac has a good record later in seasons with Joe
Burrow at the helm and even with him not. Lou has done well in the past even if I am really disappointed in his Defense this year. I will no
longer be falling for Lou Anarumo if this Defense doesn't get much better, that is all I can say. The FO with the Blackburns has done much
better than in the past at all the things mentioned. We will see if it continues. I don't think they are going to give up on Burrow after all
they have done.
Pay Ja'Marr Chase who just broke a 61 year old record against the Ravens in 2 games and we have 2 great players to build our Bengals
around is all I know and most any other fan of any other team would love to have this.
This was the point of my rant and why I am so disheartened. I don't believe the FO is ever going to change; which means we will be stuck with the same dysfunction for maybe.....ever. The Brown/Blackburn family is not going to bring in some proven GM to run the org. THEY run the org. THEY are the kings/queens. THEY are not going to bring in someone to rule over them.
Occasionally the players can override the FO ineptitude with insane talent, like 21 and 22, but the FO does not know how to sustain success.
What are we at now? 2 seasons of real success over the last 35? And now we are already 2 years removed from those 2 years of success and here we are praying for a miracle, a single win every game now to maybe, but very unlikely, make the playoffs.
The FO is the root cause of the problems and it will never be fixed. They will never fire/demote themselves nor will they ever bring in an outsider to rule over them as GM.
