Perspective?

Here’s my thing with CTB you can sell me on ok maybe he’s better at safety but there’s been numerous times this season he doesn’t even know what coverage we’re in which is why he got benched vs. the Chargers. You still need to know coverages and understand the playbook when you’re a safety as well. Seems like maybe his head isn’t in the playbook.

I don't know. He was ok last year, so I don't think it's the playbook, he's just being asked to cover better receivers now as the #1 corner. And, like the yips in golf, when things start going bad it gets in your head and things start going really bad.

Here's some perspective...................... https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2024/11/18/24299556/joe-burrow-wasted-bengals-nfl

Bills about to clench their 5th straight division title in Allan's 7 seasons.  Ravens and Steelers always finding a way.  Green Bay....vomit.  Chiefs.....vomit.  All regular contenders year after year after year after year................

Of course they all have a competent coaching staff and a FO that isn't staffed by incompetent fools.

I hope everyone enjoyed the 2 legit good seasons. We are back to the 90's, but with even more misery, because now there is actual hope that gets crushed.

My perspective.

I think that we're due to lose another superbowl in 2028, then we circle fully back to the 90's

Lol.  

I will have some legit hope and excitement when the FO makes real, actual moves to improve itself.  Bring in a real GM.  Significantly expand the scouting dept.  Completely remove MB from any decisions.

Until then no dice.  The Brown Family has tricked me for the last time.  Social Media hype and a ring of honor is cool and stuff, but I want to see real actions that show they want to win.

Until the FO changes, nothing else will change and we will once again watch another Cincy QB waste their career here.  Rinse, lather, repeat.

That doesn't really impress me. The AFC East always belonged to the Patriots because everyone else in that division was weak. Now it is the Bills turn and the rest of the division is weak. The AFCN is always a dog fight. The Clowns are the only ones consistently not in it.... Ravens 5 times, Steelers 5 times, Bengals 4 times over the last 13 years.
