Remember the closest the Bengals came to winning a playoff game in the Marvin Lewis years was the infamous game against the Steelers in January 2016. Who was the quarterback? AJ McCarron. I can't put the sole blame of playoff losses on Andy Dalton and Carson Palmer. Did they poop the bed in the playoffs? Yes, but so did the rest of the team.
My issue isn't Joe Burrow. On most any other team he would be a winner but not here. It's hard to soar with the eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys.
Again, we come across paths. Not saying Burrow wasn’t the obvious choice in the draft, but many here acted like he was the ticket to the SB.
As FIK has pointed out too many coaches and players have come and gone since 1991, and the only constant is MB.
Yes, I know, I know, you can’t fire or trade owners, but they could trade Ross and Green and get ‘SOMETHING’ for them . . HOWEVER you still have MB making decisions so where does one go from here?
