Williams: Hope of Cincinnati Bengals’ turnaround is over. Will they even win a game at home?
Jason Williams
Cincinnati Enquirer

If you still believed the Cincinnati Bengals could turn their season around entering the final weekend of October, sorry, your dream is over.

Go ahead and write the obit of the Bengals’ 2024 season after Cincinnati’s embarrassing 37-17 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. Save it to run at season’s end if you’d like, but it won’t need any updates.

The Bengals came in with their backs against the wall, with a chance to get their record to .500 and start to put themselves in the playoff conversation and they wilted down the stretch. A season that started with Super Bowl expectations was wiped out on a white-out afternoon at Paycor Stadium.

For most franchises, this is when you start to wonder if people are going to lose their jobs. That’s not how the Bengals’ culture of complacency works. So we’re left to wonder how a 3-5 team is going to respond from here on out. It has potential to get ugly. Maybe not 1990s and early 2000s ugly, but this team seems on the verge of a collapse.

“There’s no finger pointing,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said. “We’ve got to take accountability, players and coaches. We’re better than what our record indicates, but your record is what your record is.”

In two months, the Bengals have gone from preseason Super Bowl hype to wondering if they’re even going to win a game at home this season. How can anyone still seriously think the Bengals are going to turn this thing around if they’re going into November without a home victory? They’ve played good and bad teams at home and are still 0-4 at Paycor Stadium.

It should now be obvious to everyone – even to those eternally optimistic costume-wearing fans – that the Bengals didn’t do anywhere near what was necessary to try to keep themselves among the best teams in the AFC. They got comfortable. Meanwhile, Kansas City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Houston, Buffalo and others got better.

The Bengals have a superstar quarterback, an all-world receiver and not much else. It takes more than Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase to sustain success and remain among the AFC’s elite class.

“We’re not good enough,” Burrow said. And just to hammer home his point, the quarterback repeated: “We’re not good enough.”

I wrote what was wrong with the Bengals after they lost to the Ravens at home on Oct. 6. To recap: The Bengals haven’t done much to improve since they lost the AFC Championship game in January 2023. They’ve been spinning their wheels, banking on Burrow to do it all. The front office’s mentality: Burrow led them to one Super Bowl, so he can do it again.

It doesn’t work that way. The league is too good. There are too many teams actually committed to sustained excellence. The Chiefs, Ravens, Steelers, Bills, Texans and many other AFC teams are consistently good at evaluating talent in the draft. Those franchises have much bigger scouting departments. Those franchises are willing to spend money, too.
