am completely frustrated and disgusted by this season with Joe, Ja'Marr and Trey having the best season at their positions and we still have only
won 4 games is completely inexcusable.
But we did bring in Trey, DJ, Chido, Hilton, Vonn, Waynes (I know, but big FA at the time) Ted, Cappa and lately Orlando and this was recent.
Things are way different than the Marv days when we didn't go out and get FA's in their prime. As long as we can do something like this again
and get the Defense back on track with some good FA's in their prime and improve the IOL we aren't as far off as some might think. A new DC
that actually doesn't just rely on clutch interceptions and fumbles to get the D off the field would be better than what we had during our SB run.
Looking back that is all that Lou relied on, big plays at the biggest moments. We get a better DC and this could certainly change and as we see,
Joe is having his best season of his career and the wrist injury didn't destroy him like a few on here predicted. That was my scare.
I genuinely appreciate everyone here who is able to remain at least somewhat positive and hopeful. I hope you are right. I am glad some can still get excited for Bengals football. I hope they are able to fix things for next year.
Unfortunately for me this season broke my spirit. If you can't win with Burrow and the O doing what they are doing then damn. The Brown family is not serious about running an NFL team. They are serious about doing it their way and screw everything else. Loyalty over results. Money over results. They won't fire anyone while still under contract as an example. They cost themselves millions by not getting Chase deal done as another. They have 2 scouts. 2!!!!!! These are very unserious people when it comes to football.
Yes, we signed some FA's. How have they turned out? How have the draft picks turned out for the D? 2 scouts. smh
I am just never falling for the fake hype again. These are unserious, inept people running the Bengals. An old school lawyer given an NFL team and now a daughter with no real world business experience who learned from one of the worst owners in all of pro sports. If they are really changing then where is the real GM, real scouting department, where is the restructure of football minded serious people in the org instead of all top people being family/ friends? They need to show me some REAL change, not just some scrub FA's. Fire some coaches before their contract ends. Hold some people accountable for not wining. Show me some REAL effort. Not some bs appeasement and even then they screw that up.
I agree on the Burrow wrist for sure. That was very concerning. It is great watching the offense do what they are doing. Too bad it is being wasted/ruined because of complete incompetence at the top and an unwillingness to change.
I guess I just don't see things as way different as some do. The entire org is the same. Other than some FA's nothing has changed.
