-Tagged Bell
-Extended Brown
-Extended Tuitt
-Signed Hayden
And they also kept DeCastro who is a Guard last offseason.
The Bengals have us brainwashed to believe that keeping free agents costs the ability to retain future free agents.
IF you believe the Bengals organization is part of some conspiracy where they are the Washington Generals of the NFL...it's just crazy.
2 Major Forces Shape the Current Bengals:
The NFL also has revenue sharing. In a normal business you have to put a good product out there or people won't buy it and you go bankrupt. In the NFL you get 1/32 of the pie no matter what. This has enabled a lot of the Bengals complacency.
The Bengals are the result of a team being run as a family business where profit is the major motive and things are done as frugally as possible. The other teams are mainly ran by billionaires and multimillionaires who want to win for prestige and invest in their teams to win.
Remind us again why you then root for this team like I do? If Pittsburgh is run so much better then why not root for them?
I used to want to believe the league is set up for parity to give each team an equal chance, but there are just too many coincidences to sell that idea anymore .
The Atlanta Falcons had the game in the bag 28-3 in the 3rd quarter and yet for reasons absolutely unknown to anyone alive except for the people involved a 40 year old outplayed a bunch of young dudes in the prime of their lives as if by magic.. *POOF!* I'm just not a big believer in magic, but conspiracies? When billions of dollars are on the line you betcha!
