  1. First he never had the locker room because he doesn't know football but like someone has said he's definitely lost the fanbase!!!! He's the Rams QB coach…., not a HC!!!!

  2. Mixon, Reader, Perrine, Bates III, Hurst….gone. This is bad man, Outisde of Burrow, Chase, and Hendrickson, who else is clamoring for a Bengals player? And if that’s how it is to just not spend money, the coach HAS to be good! And he’s not!!

  3. your mom is a disappointing season…..btw..I'm sorry about making fun of you dancing. You were just being positive and I hated it lol.

  4. It’s really hard for me to believe Ja Marr and the Bengals couldn’t meet half way on a contract . They agreed on the amount of money . He lost money this season because he didn’t sign. Would have made 17 million more plus a signing bonus . How much does that kind of money make if it’s invested .

  5. Borrow, Chase, Higgins ,and maybe a few others should be "on-the-market" as a package… looking for an organization/team with owners that have demonstrated they are ready, willing, and able to win. Sadly, they are being wasted here….

  6. I think zacs a great guy and I honestly see him being a good assistant offensive coordinator somewhere. His head coaching days need to dry up in the off season… Give the locker room a Dan Campbell type hype up guy and let's start fresh

  7. Ik we’ve beaten this path like a drum before but we could easily go on a 4 game win streak out the bye, and treat the last two games against Denver and Pitt like playoff games. Pittsburgh is a tough one but it’s at home and Dallas Tenn and Browns should be wins. I can doubt the bengals all I want but as long as Joe burrow is our qb will never stop believing

  8. All you fair weather fans and this commentator are full of $#!+. I been here since '81 and kept the faith and I still do. Go jump on someone else's wagon all of you! You all suck. WHO DEY FOR LIFE!!!

  9. When You pay a QB a Billion dollars you lose other starters ……..Then you Pay a WR a Billion dollars. There is less for everybody else. The Salary cap is a Real thing. Chase will get paid. And we will lose other starters. And no money for free agents.

  10. I am old enough to remember the End of Carson Palmer. That is what I am afraid of with Burrow.
    He told them to quit being cheap or I will not be here. Not play………………………..They chose Cheap.

  11. Comparing Evan's deal to what Chase wanted is idiotic. Evan signed a market(or slightly below market deal). Chase wanted more money than Justin Jefferson and lots of guaranteed money. Evans's contract had 5 million guaranteed. They could cut him easily at any time without a significant cap hit.

  12. Maybe but it doesn’t matter. The bungles front office will keep him for at least 27 more years. But he always looks like a disinterested turd in the sidelines. No emotion, no energy, always has that befuddled look on his face. Doesn’t say anything or yell or scream when his QB gets crushed.

  13. Tee Higgins is gone after the season oh wait let me guess yall gonna tag him again for about 27 or 28 million 25 at least and pay chase too and oh I forgot what about the defense and oh wait yall qb is greedy af he accounts for 40% of the team salary cap so how can you bring solid players in when you don't have no money in the bank

  14. Zack Shula, er, sorry, Taylor, needs to go. I have been saying this for years now. burrows best years are going by. The off season changes, front office personal moves, its got to change. Sorry, but injuries is part of the game. the best teams deal with it. All our wins guys are COIN FLIPS, dont take my word for it. look for yourself. we all want to ride on the kicker, how many games has he won? WHY is it always on the kickers leg? thats not a winning team. best WR QB in bengal history and we win by coinflips.
