Even when your gut feeling that this is a badly coached team that would find a way to lose... the only sliver of enjoyment was watching Joe play. Week to week this season that was the main reason for watching. Anyone who thought this was an above .500 team going into this season wake the hell up! Your optimism is appreciated but pay attention to things.

Sorry I have to chuckle at this post as its the standard yearly sentiment we see on this board due to the ineptitude we witness yr after yr . My guess is you will back at some point to discuss the draft and that Burrows recovery is quicker then anticipated etc. Its just part of being a fan of this team.....unfortunately every yr we start taking draft way too early to even care. Go fix some windows and see you in a month. :andy:

I was basing it on Burrow having 200 yards passing in the first half, the defense doing very well, and the Bengals leading despite FR giving away 4 easy points. Yes, you could argue the opposite. That's your right. But I think most on here thought the Bengals would get at least three wins out of Wash, Dallas, NYG, and Houston if Burrow was still out there. The reason I was sharing that optimism was to show that the offense, in fact, was much better than a year ago. That you can't argue. They have improved on that side of the line. As I mentioned, the defense lost its two biggest FA acquisitions and another starter in Phillips. Dunlap and Atkins were relied upon this year and offered pretty much nothing. One more year of clearing cap space and bringing in some younger talent could make the team competitive very quickly. It's your right to choose to be miserable or to focus on whatever negative you like, but I am trying to show there are reasons to be positive as well.

Really easily....1, 2, 3.... I kiiiiiiid. There is not some theoretical victory playoff committee that me counting what I considered to be very winnable games (especially the way Burrow was playing). It was just for the sake of trying to provide optimism. You hammer this good team, bad team argument as though when you are a bad team the only actions permissible are to piss and moan about how bad your team is instead of trying to isolate the negatives and highlight some of the positives. If that makes you, Wes, and other happy, great! Have at it. I choose the optimism. I choose to look at what I saw in Burrow and think we have a chance in any game if he is protected and has some weapons. So that is what I would focus on this offseason: Sign Thuney, Draft Ja'Marr Chase, and watch the offense soar. Most the rest of the draft I would spend on defense. That gives me hope and optimism that they can do something while Burrow is on his rookie contract. I am VERY happy with the selection of Burrow as QB and a lot of dominoes had to fall to get him. They have him and it is time for them to win again. It will be next season.
