Hoped for changes in 2025

Don’t know the answer but the slow starts are going to keep us out of the playoffs 2 years in a row. Thats got to be fixed. I don’t know who re-signs or how the puzzle will work. It’s obvious Joe & Zac want Tee & Chase on the team. The FO better heed them. They’ve got to replace Volson. They’ve got to replace Cappa. They’ve got to add a DT. Corner is an issue. The team is not as good as we all thought. The defense has not hit on anybody on defense in several drafts. Logan Wilson is the last. The scouting department needs more help. I’m mixed on Lou. There’s staff changes coming though.

have you watched him play..he's one of the best athletes on the team..part of the Bengals problem is player development...there really shoul not be a problem finding number 2-3 receivers that can run 12-14 yd routes and catch a football..anyway...you all are talking about specific positions..this team will always be a hair's breath away from winning it all unless changes are made organizationally..you all are looking for particular players to improve the team..I am looking at some organizational changes..more scouts, etc...then I will feel much better about the team moving forward..you know..evenduring our Superbowl run and the AFC championship season the next year...we still had similar issues with the team..happy new year

good post..but there is a silver lining ..those two young rookies on the DL have gotten some good playing time..plenty of reps..and don't forget linebacker

Maybe I'm jaded, but I think the 4 game win streak ensured that there will be no coaching changes. I hope I'm wrong.

Replacing Lou needs to be job one - I don't care about the late season surge the fact that it took him 12 games to figure out his players could not execute his defense and it had to be adjusted is a major indictment of him as a coach. Free Agency resign Tee and land a legit NFL starter quality Guard and NT and you can call that a day. Then use the draft in part to get another Guard early and to restock EDGE.

 I can see moving on from Lou but We have to focus offseason on DE and DT we have to get an impact Edge rusher to bookend with Tre as a big Free agent, find a run stopper. I fine tagging Tee, drafting his replacement this year and restructure Tre contract to lock him up next 4 years. We had a top 5 offense and a bottom 5 defense.. we have to dedicate this FA and draft to defense outside of a FA guard and drafting a WR 1 or 2 round depending what is there between 12th to 17th probably position.
