That’s the hardest part of watching the team right now. Wins are actually detrimental at this point. Missing the playoffs and drafting in that 16-18 spot is the worst possible season outcome.

And guys like Mahomes and Goff have been getting such gifts literally all season. But some of our more donkey brained fans don’t actually pay attention to other teams!

York stepped up... with a gf like that, he's got the motivation o'right.

It doesn’t matter. Unless it’s a top 5, can’t miss type pick they’ll likely **** it up anyway.

If your main strategy is positioning for the draft, the draft ain't gonna fix you.

At least we aren't going 0-2 against Cooper Rush...

Yeah its been so bad they should probably start thinking about trading our first for more picks or a established player

Bingo. I grant you that our picks past top 5 haven’t panned out, but I’d argue our FA signings haven’t panned out either. With our refusal to sign our top players the draft is where you find them cheap. That’s always been the Bengals M.O.

re sign bates and reader would've changed this season. it's that simple. the 1 score losses to baltimore and kc are erased.

bengals don't agree with any franchise b/c they can't spend like other franchises. so we'll sign chase to another giant contract tee will go elsewhere and we'll have the same problems in 2025. until burrow stands up and says no more of this. he'll be palmer 2.0

[WildCat]

gotta say it's more fun being a UK fan rn. we jettisoned a HOF coach and man did that work out the right way. you just gotta have the cojones to do it. make it happen. because UK was absolutely handcuffed and they got rid of that pittsburgh native. thank the lord.

So far, poor officiating has been a problem.
