No the season is not over still got a lot of football to play The Bengals can turn this around , Make a playoff run stay positive and keep working. Who dey Bengals!
Who MF dey 🧡🖤🏈🤫💪 win lose or draw
The hole is too deep a hole to climb out of when you look at this defense
The reason they need WR production so much is because their run game SUCKS! At 4.1 Y/C, we're 26th in the NFL and at 89.8 Y/G we're 28th, and to be fair, the Chiefs are at 3.9 Y/C and 122.1 Y/G for 14th. What this means is that we break a few big runs open, but we also get stuffed for a lot of losses and zero gain. The Chiefs are more consistently getting yards, and consequently 1st downs. The Ravens are at 6.2 and Commanders at 5.2 Y/C.
I realize Burrow's currently the #1 rated QB, but the offense overall is 7th overall in passing yards and 28th in rushing yards. The defense is 24th in yards allowed. An improvement in run blocking would change the entire offense, especially if the WR2+'s start getting more separation, Joe sees them, and has confidence in his wrist to hit them.
Honestly, if there was one quick thing I'd do with the offense, it'd be to implement several QB-designed runs. Joe has done the work. Those are yards waiting to be had, and it will keep the linebackers and safeties guessing a little.
Joe Burrow said 7 an 2 is doable in these last 9 games, bless his heart
If the stadium is emptying before it's over then they are not real fans! Still think Joe is that guy at QB but they have some issues for sure! All you fans who leave before your Team has stopped playing so you can get out early ! Your not a real fan! That goes for any fan for any Team!!
Season is over they should not sign the WHODEY anthem ever again cause apparently everyone is beating them including management coaching and themselves….
We gotta go 7 and 2 from here realistically can we do it the way they are playing now half way through the season man that's a long shot who dey for sure but damn yall
Fred Johnson was holding alot too 😂 TF the refs never called it but gifted them a touchdown 🤔
Andrew you’re gonna have to be honest about Zac. It’s guys like you that are the reason he still has his job. Shame
WHO DEY! I would love to be on to Vegas game.
I love the Bengals….but they are pitiful…it feels like those 12 loss seasons all over again…
They cant turn this around because it has nothing to do with talent, its all coaching.
I feel badly that Ja’Marr Chase is stuck on the Cincinnati Bengals. Can you imagine him on other teams? They should trade him and let him happily move on with his NFL career.
Been a Bengals fan since the Ken Andersen days, but with this defense just don't see it!
How about a little imagination? Do some fakes, and surprises no one expects. They need to use their speed more effectively.
Cincy sports is cursed for real, the reds and bengals its so hard being a fan 😂😂 both franchises are cheap and happy being mediocre as well as wasting players careers, thats why I felt bad for votto being stuck and not winning his entire career there and now it seems its happening to burrow now 😞😞
The defense is not good enough to get us to playoffs. We need another really good edge and corner to prob turn it around
Browns didn't just have a change at QB, Stefanski gave up the play call, those two things together opened up the offense. At what point does Zac finally give up the book and let Pitcher call the plays? That is a legitimate question that needs to be asked and followed up on. I'm not excited at all about this team beating the Raiders, it will just reinforce the Zac Taylor okey doke mentality heading into Baltimore.
The offense is going to have to put up enough points and hold the ball long enough that opposing teams can't out-score them. Gesicki should be WR3, Erick All should be TE1, Brown should be RB1, Burton needs to be on the field rotating as WR3 and WR4, Iosivas should be saved for the red zone. No more running Jamaar out of the backfield or throwing him short passes, he makes his plays deep, that's where he needs to live. Fans at the games need to be armed with paper bags to put on their heads when we lose, and right above the eye holes, in big letters, 'Fire Zac Taylor!' Nobody thinks for a second that the Brown family will part ways with Taylor, but enough pressure might just force him to give up the play call.
Must win is an understatement. Had so much hype and hope for this team. I feel the coaching staff is letting this team down and fans down. Zac leave the ego at the door and give up play calling.
If people would stop going to games I’d bet they get this fixed really quickly.
Bengals fan since 2000. Started watching when I was 6.
I hope we don’t make the playoffs. This front office needs to be taught a lesson. We need a culture change. Making the playoffs will not motivate them to change. They won’t make trades make coaching changes. Not be cheap, play players that need paying.
A culture change is needed.
Technically the season isnt over until after week 18. But no their season isnt over yet, however, anything less than the post season is a complete disaster. These other teams who have less talented rosters are performing exceptionally well, and its because of coaching. PERIOD.
I believe we gotta get under center a lot more. Our run production has been abysmal out of shotgun this year for some odd reason. If we can utilize our te in the passing game on mismatches and focus on the time of possession, we’ll lose out on explosiveness BUT have a steady offense. Defense (which is our weak link) is off the field as well and no pressure to be dominate
We don't need to be a juggernaut but just productive enough like the 2008 Giants or last year's chiefs
