The amount of crying the fans are doing in this thread is nutty.
I get that the FO made mistakes. The FA's were poor. The bumbled yet another long term deal for a star player. And coaching changes need to be made.
But the idea that a wholesale tear it all up from the top down, entire org rebuild needs to take place for the Bengals to get back to the top of the AFCN & beat the big dogs is out of touch and just grown ass men being in their feelings.
All of us are disappointed in the 2024 Bengals. All of us should expect changes. I, for one, would be excited to see a new O Line coach, nearly entire defensive staff, and (honestly) a new voice in the ST room as well. Throw in a lot of heavy handed evaluation of how the Bengals are drafting and I can buy it all... But, Mike Vrabel? Mike Brown's the problem? Certainly not on the field.....
THE BENGALS PLAYERS bungled those games away. Not Mike Brown. Not ZT. Those 2 didn't fumble against KC or the Ravens. Those 2 didn't miss gimme extra points and FGs to win games. Those 2 didn't drop touch downs that would have won games. Duke Tobin didn't commit a senseless DPI to give a game to KC.
THE PLAYERS DID ALL OF THAT.
