Where Do the Bengals Go From Here? Season Outlook with Joe Goodberry

32 comments

1. See lot of negative comments. Plenty of football left guys, don't throw in the towel yet.
   The D has been inconsistent for sure and we've had some injuries but the easier part of the schedule is coming up.
   I don't believe the Steelers are for real and while they're always a tough game for us we should be able to handle them as well as the last game with Cleveland.
   Go 4-2 in the division (win 5 of these last 7) and that should get a playoff spot, it's doable – Lets get it done – WHO DEY!

2. The Bengals holding on to Tee Higgins I'm afraid we'll be there downfall this season. The Bengals knew they were not going to resign or extend Higgins So they should have traded him in the off season and focused on getting a pass rusher or someone on the defensive side of the ball that it could impact games either as a proven player or young prospect that it flashed enough to take a chance on them. 

   They certainly are scoring enough offensively to win most of these games they've lost but it's the defense and the problems there with no pressure on opposing team's quarterbacks and failing to get off the field on third downs.  Injuries are a part of football , however,  at this point in the season having t Higgins is a luxury they really can't afford to have given his unfortunate history with soft tissue injuries . So the Bengals are getting no production from him from missed games which continues to add up. They should be looking for defensive help in order to have some  remote  chance of making the playoffs.

3. 😂😂😂😂😂 remember when you guys thought you were a threat to the Chiefs

4. 2 weeks in a row…Crosby and Humphry

5. I saw the title and though oh they fired zac or lou because with them we are dead or dying on burrow and chase life support

6. 🧹

7. Great analysis of what the Bengals are doing, what they are up against, and how they need to overcome it. I'm a Ravens' fan but I do NOT want to play the Bengals again this season.

8. 17:50 sorry james when you look around the afcn teams take on there coaches persona… zac is soft as a double role of charmin…

9. Really starting to think there are too many money people and not enough football people in the front office

10. Joe Burrow is such a high-level person and player that I so regret he went to the Bengals. We will likely never see the true high-level play that he is capable of…and it would be such a thing of beauty to watch whether a Bengals fan or not. Just sad that we will never know what might have been. What a waste of this young man's career.

11. You get to keep doing what you are doing, chasing the $ they are going to lose in LA, they will get smashed by the Steelers at least three more losses coming…they should fold it up and get the best draft position and trade Jamar chase and first round pick to the raiders for max,draft nothing but linemen and cornerbacks

12. It’s the defense they can’t off the field when they need too no turnovers or pass rush outside of one guy

13. Yeah the CTB regression is an indictment of coaching. We can attribute the lack of talent across the board to the FO, but seeing a player get WORSE over the course of their time here for no apparent reason falls on coaching.

14. “It could be 8 guys out there on defense” 🤣😭😭

15. Reassuring but depressing listen. This team just doesn’t have it. Leadership seems like an issue. They don't seem hungry and don't know how to win against competent teams. Offense is good, not amazing. Defense is a complete mess. Some of the signings not working out stinks but the softness and sloppiness is so disappointing

16. I thought the pass rush was great but Lamar was amazing at evading. Any other QB would have been sacked 5 times.

17. They lost just a couple pieces from last years team and look what happened to the team balance…if you don't sign chase and trey to go with burrow…
    You are going down the tubes fast…
    You would just have to start over and the bengals are terrible at getting good draft picks on defense…
    Why?? Anyone's guess…
    Bad scouts..,???
    Keep the core, make zac stop calling the plays…get a little defense help …

18. James is thinking too far. Yall gotta win next week and hes been talking about playoffs this whole time

19. We should have drafted Jerzhan Newton afterall.After sunday he would have fit in perfectly with our team especially late game in key clutch moments ?? By way how did Preston Smith and Mike Williams do in the same game?

20. This is not a joke this time. Need take closer look at this Sam F. For a guy thats in Zacs ear on when to punt..fg…challenge…go for it … we seem to fall way short in these categories. Is this The "Jim Turner" of analytics managers?

21. Which free agent has contributed the most to us in 24? Rankins Stone or Trent Brown? Think about that!!

22. Mark Butterworth can destroy a team his job is to make sure the game is honest because the refs suck and getting worse.

23. Was that Super Bowl run a real fluke ? That’s my question cause since then we haven’t done anything. Matter of fact we’ve gotten worse season after season since then , and our front office went right back to its old ways.

24. Mike Brown has wasted a year of Burrow's career and has reverted back to the same old Bengals way of doing things.

25. You start scouting for the draft and make sure you take care of contracts so there are no malcontents next season.

26. Why are you still talking about the offense, with this vanilla defense year after year, you can't win championships WITHOUT A GOOD DEFENCE. The Steelers for years have given us the blueprint, for small fast LB to rush the QB with good shootdown CB. We have always had a good offense throughout all the years of our history. The best defense we had took us to the Superbowl, Then we played prevent defense in the Superbowl and lost to Joe. ps we are the only team in our division who hasn't figured this out yet smch

27. James smoking that meth pipe

28. Burrow is elite… he can make ANY receiver a star.
    Trade Chase for a bunch of picks and build a defense, and an O-Line.
    Just my opinion.

29. Sick of Tee being out.

30. You need plays made.

31. Sobering podcast. Enjoyed it.

32. They let WAY TOO MANY leaders and good players leave. And completely whiffed on their replacements
