Bengals 9-12 since "Burrowhead" smacktalk

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

I think that is the clear point we can point at as when we jumped the shark. Our team got too enamored with sniffing their own farts, lost our edge, and lost sight that we have to keep getting better every year or we will get worse. Don't need to get work in the preseason because week 1 and 2 are pointless, we will still make the playoffs and we don't need home playoff games because we can win in the road. As of the playoffs are just automatically granted to you because you think you deserve it.

2 year window of enjoyment and now it is closed because of arrogance.



(Forgive me a bit of a rant thread, I normally don't do this but this loss really kills whatever excitement I had left for this year.)

i'm guessing many of us older fans saw this coming. the window closed for sure last year when glass joe went down. meanwhile as we also see every year. the steelers doing what the steelers do. and history continues to repeat itself. as bengals fans we live in groundhog day perpetually.

When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less. These players need to keep their damn mouths shut till they can back it up. Holy shit where’s the Tylenol.

How many times are you going to repeat this inaccuracy?

Offense had 325 yards and 25 points.   Defense couldnt get a stop at the end, again, last week.  2 games in a row.  Tonight they couldnt a stop, period.

The offense bashers deserve their own board where they can discuss other topics of which they have no idea.

The offense def needed to be better last week, but it's not the biggest reason why we lost. This week the offense did everything it really needed to do other than have TDs every drive, which you can't really expect that from any offense. The defense this whole year is just soooooo bad. We need to fire the people who thought that this defense was good enough to stop any kind of NFL offense. Hell, I bet the better college offenses could make our defense look bad. Even CTB thought that the Commanders offense was an college offense. I bet he's right, and that's just how bad our defense is. A high school level defense. I'm so frustrated at this team right now. I had such high hopes. The last two years I've had such big hopes for this team and it just comes crashing down.
