  1. I love that the defense looked better but we have to talk about Duke and Katie refusing to change the roster management. We keep Tee this year (all in move) yet we all know this defense still has massive holes and can’t hold up in the playoffs when the run game becomes even more prevalent. But they refuse to make an in-season trade. They need to adapt to the current nfl landscape or leave period.

  4. Please please let us get 1 from the Browns. They’ve dominated us for years. Teams have regularly had “get right games” against the bengals. Deshawn Watson can not ball out on us.

  5. A healthy scratch for Burton last game was pretty stupid. Zac Taylor doesn’t know how to utilize his best talent. I would have Chase Higgins and Burton and Erick all out there very play and burrow would light defenses up. Zac Taylor needs to go I’m sorry

  8. Have yall seen the interview Burton did with Malik Wright??Didn’t sound like he has all of his marbles ijs. Maybe he just super shy and gets nervous while talking to people but man everytime he had to talk it was not a good look.

  12. They should not be out there every snap even if he can only run a damn go route they should have him out there 10 snaps a game and slide Jamar or Tee into the slot well still having an elite deep threat outside to draw secondary back or jamar pulls a double team and burton wins in 1on1 man then its a 60 yard td Yoshi is the best slot receiver on this team and should play a majority of the snaps but when only three wide receivers play in a game and all of their rules are predictable. It makes the job for the defensive coordinator so much easier.

  14. I’m a bengals fan for years , but these fan boys need to face reality man , mims isn’t good , burton is not who people thought he was the defense is trash and the owners are cheap af no playoffs this year face it

  17. Honestly what about Tycen? Why is the media asking more questions about him? He’s clearly one of the most talented dudes on this team and we’re gonna end up wasting his skill set just special teams and then he becomes a safety elsewhere. His speed as a safety would be elite.

  20. Battle is hungry! HE NEEDS TO BE ON THE FIELD, especially after finishing last year as our best player besides Trey lol I really don’t understand the logic where they let a free agent come in and take a developing players spot

  22. I have been screaming for Burton!!! He needs reps and playing time. Iam not saying over chase /Higgins / yoshi. But he needs to be working in over jones for sure We need Burton to get action in case tee leaves next year which is prolly Gonna happen I don’t get Zac Taylor and how he is handling Jermaine He went with all the draft pics this year. Use them!!!

  23. It's incredibly annoying that Burton finds himself riding the bench on accusations thay he "doesn't know the playbook".
    Fine. He only made several big plays during the preseason, he didn't seem to need any information then, why now?
    At the very least, he should be outpacing Irwin, who isn't athletic or special in any real way. Give the kid 10 or 15 snaps at the least, if he doesn't get targeted, fine. But fucking TRY to get your explosive players to do explosive things.
