You keep going on about a draft pick from a year ago like that was even close to being enough. They spent a fortune on the defense, and our only FA help on the OL was a career backup. Inexcusable. What’s pathetic is Zac Taylor’s record, and our streak of 30 years without a playoff win. Cleveland otoh is 7-3 and clearly moving in the right direction. With a first year HC to boot.

When you keep letting him get hit, the odds increase that it’ll be a bad one. Burrow did get sacked today. It just got nullified on a questionable face mask call.

Did you see the Bengals medical staff run out on the field when Burrow went down with a band aid in his hand? This was their solution to Burrows injury....

I'm going to start calling you Jack Dawson cause your rebuttals with everyone are sinking quicker than the Titanic. Have u seen the play? please explain the sack orc pressure or missed block the created the injury? Have some more kool aid people are drinking

Just because he doesn’t match a legendary safety doesn’t equal “decent.”

That is the most pathetic shit I have ever heard. I mean, when you completely change the logic behind an opposing opinion it's pretty easy to paint it as irrational. I don't think anyone here is saying the Browns have done a better job over the last 12 years than the Bengals. In fact, I've never seen a single person say that. I don't want to speak for anyone else, but I'm pretty sure most people are speaking about either current, or recent moves, to come to the conclusion that they would rather have the Browns front office than the Bengals. So when you take that into account, it's an entirely different argument. And you know the Browns front office has undergone a bunches of changes, right? Not every team has the same front office in place forever. The Browns current GM is Andrew Berry, who has produced a 7-3 team. The previous GM was John Dorsey. That front office went 13-18-1. So maybe think about that next time. Maybe when someone says they wish we made moves like the Browns front office, they're speaking to moves made by Berry and Dorsey, and not the regime of 10 years ago. Or I guess you could just assume the worst, or outright change the argument, so can you paint others as crybabies. It's up to you.

I won’t be watching. Burrow made the games fun to watch

I believe you make your own luck. Teams like the Steelers do all these small incremental things that help give them an edge to win.
The Bengals do the opposite and it results in losing. You make your own luck. Our philosophy is flawed, while the Steelers have a better overall football philosophy. Until you fix the philosophy/coaching, history is doomed to repeat.

I can't believe how anybody in this thread could defend this horrid coaching staff and front office.
Anybody with half a brain cell saw this outcome coming into the season, we all knew the odds of him making it through the season healthy were slim to none, we were just hoping we were wrong. Turns out we weren't. We did next to nothing to help Joe this year, we got him a WR and a bunch of backup Olinemen, we spent all of our money on a defense that has been horrible and that's on the coaching. I would call for the coaches to be fired but let's be honest, a new coaching staff changes nothing with this front office, I'm a fan and always will be but I've lost so much interest in this team over the last 5 years compared to before.

Mike Brown needs to be forced to sell this team. Enough is enough already..

If the stains get a Super Bowl before we do while I'm alive.. its over. With the pats, the lombardi was kept out of the squeelers & ravens.. now that they're no longer dominant, its up for grabs.

I mean, we all kinda knew this was a possibility. The line has stunk since we last made the playoffs. This is year 5 of our line completely sucking due to a mixture of incompetence, bad luck and apathy (lack of moves). And no, I don't consider guys like XSF and Fred Johnson to be noteworthy moves.
Maybe someday Mikey and co will give the line the serious attention it's deserved for 5 years running. But we all know how slow Mikey is to even realize something is an actual problem.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
