This is so pathetic that the Ravens, Bills, and Chiefs have all made in-season trades and Mike, Katie, and just straight up refuse to. But will hit us with “we’re close to getting something done before the deadline” sure you were 🤡🤡🤡
It’s once again gonna come down to O line and that looks bad. Orlando Brown will be hobbled by the calf injury and Cody Ford can’t do the job. Moms on the other side has already been out and if he goes down again there is nobody. High odds statistically they will experience injuries on the interior line too. Bottom line is this will be a makeshift line the rest of the season. The result is burrow under fire all year with limitations on the offense. The defense stinks too. I see this team ending the season at 7-10 or 6-11.
Pittsburgh Cleveland ravens all made changes in their offensive line. They all seem pretty good Cincinnati been working on their offensive line 5 years one person goes down the line falls apart. No back ups.
The two corners play off receivers 10 to 20 yards easy catches. What’s their problem
The defense is soft,not talented,nonathletic. Think who's responsible for that…?
Our best D lineman in the last 4 years have come from free agency. Dj reader Trey Hendrickson and Larry ogunjobi. That’s why we say we need to spend more on d line. Draft capital is useless when you’re spending it on players that don’t pan out.
Fire Zach Taylor for the love of god
Do the economics of the NFL prevent the Bengals from being the organization we want them to be? Since they aren't owned by a traditional billionaire.
Love listening to ALL your Podcasts, guys! You guys, (and Elise!), are the best! 👏👏👏👍 Like you, I'm disappointed, but "glass half FULL", in relation to our beloved Bengals. 🐯
No he doing a hella job fuck what ya got to say about Zac
12-5 5-1 AFC North champions
If we lose next week, are we on board with trade Tee Higgins for draft value?
The defensive line is the problem. They can’t consistently get pressure or stop the run. Offensive is less a problem. Defense sucked last year too.
Silly question: there's no where to go but up , when your not playing good….
Too much talent to keep playing bad…
In fact, we prob. Have more talent, than alot of teams…
Thanks Guy's.
Hubbard and Murphy are ranged 252 253 among 255 DEs
No
Who else is beyond frustrated and pissed off that they do NOTHING while watching Division Rivals make moves to improve? We stick with Jackson Carman and Zac Carter…
They’re just not a very good team this year and Taylor will be back to a coordinator position somewhere else after his contract is finished here.
Also burns my butt they let Ogunjobi and DJ and Jesse Bates walk and then tried to sell us a huge steaming pile of "good enough"…..
The defense is slow asf😂 Pratt needs to go too defensive end
And we need line backers who are smacking ish big and fast
We need at least 2-3
6’3 fast and competent cbs
Play calling must
Compliment talent
Now it’s worst than high school 😂😂
Rotate players from bench based on hunger and aggression
Finding momentum and physicality again would be a good start.
If they had a 2nd moderately effective pass rusher that would help. Would at least give the secondary a chance.
Here is the problem, plain and simple , they are CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP , oh and did I mention CHEAP !
Old Marvin circled this one on his calendar, poor JoeyB gonna be running for his life. The playbook was out on Zac last year when he went 1&5 in the division. Double Jamarr & rush with 4 dlineman. Zac's offense sucks. Is 0&5 at home enough?
Burton got triple teamed by Philly and he killed slay Jr on thr deep ball… stop the capp and speculation.. yall the same lames that said mixon was washed-up… you don't know .. but what shows up on tape is nurton getting open and making plays burrow praising him but I'm supposed to believe James 🤔
You guys do me a favor… who was the last team to win a SB with our style of offense with barely running the ball…
Ghost of a good team.. great line Jake…
