Keith Rivers was 9th overall, too. Oof

He has to be in the Bengals ring of honor

Also, Bengals gear is up to 50% off

You don't have to watch it period. Some of you act like you're being forced into this.

There is no silver lining.

Other than the next draft.

Ja'Marr Chase would not change the offense. He did not mention the defense.

Quote:"It's not much I would want to change [on the] offensive side," Chase said. "Honestly I wouldn't change a thing from an offense perspective. The only thing I'd change probably is just finishing better."

The glaring problem with this offense is the exact thing that could help them close out more games.

I hate when you see or hear people say "the run game is good enough"

it's not

Yeah, if it’s not a top 5 pick, I have no faith in them getting even the first round pick right. Last 11 1st round picks:

2014 24 Darqueze Dennard DB Michigan State
2015 21 Cedric Ogbuehi T Texas A&M
2016 24 William Jackson III DB Houston
2017 9 John Ross WR Washington
2018 21 Billy Price C Ohio State
2019 11 Jonah Williams T Alabama
2020 1 Joe Burrow* QB LSU
2021 5 Ja'Marr Chase WR LSU
2022 31 Daxton Hill DB Michigan
2023 28 Myles Murphy DE Clemson
2024 18 Amarius Mims

That’s disgusting

Two people kind of mentioned this (Nate was one), but are we the only ones that realize that this year has no real barring on the thoughts that the schedule makers have on next year's schedule?

If we were horrible and didn't improve this offseason, then I would agree, but we haven"t been that bad, we have free agency, the draft, and, obviously, the likely changes to the coaching staff.

By the time the schedule is released in May, we could be an exciting team that a lot of people want to see in as many primetime games as possible.

It's painful to see that all at one time. Take away the 1st (Burrow) and 5th (Chase) picks, and maybe the Mims pick, and they might have done better throwing darts at a list of projected 1st round picks.
