Entering this week the Bengals had a 13% chance of making the playoffs. If they lose this game they are done.

I told yall it was crazy most people were picking them to win the division. This teams vibes were off before the season started.

The vibes are fine. The beginning of the season was fucked because of Chase being a bitch.

Literally every game but 1 has come down to a single play that would have turned an L to a W.
Their O-Line is suspect at best. But I knew that going into the season.
I had no idea their defense was going to be this fucking bad.

But you are correct. Lose this game and the season is over. And it certainly looks like they are heading for another loss.
Wilson might throw for 500 yards today. LOL. Pathetic.

Orlando Brown is the most overrated sack of left tackle shit that has ever put on pads.

Dude.
Is.
Trash.

Bengals 2024 Season:
Over.

I'd bench Burrow, Chase and Higgins the rest of the season - starting right now.
No sense risking an injury that might bleed into next year.

He just got turnstiled on that TD play.
He's always bad. He's not usually this bad. He has to be hurt. Get his fucking ass out of there before Burrow gets killed.

Bengals need to blow things up.

There is no future when your offense needs to put up 35+ a game to even be in position to win.

Can't pay Burrow, Higgins, Chase, and Hendrickson and improve the defense at the same time.

OBJ isn't a top 20 left tackle. LMAO @ #5. Dude is absolute trash.
It was masked in Baltimore due to Lamar. You generally dont want to speed rush and possibly over-pursue. So OBJ rarely got exposed for having zero agility.

He was able to pretty much just anchor in and use his power... and then the run game was tailor made for a powerful linemen.

I didn't realize they were that bad on Defense

How the fuck don't you have someone spying Fields when he ONLY comes in to run?
Bengals had a rookie out there.
I put that on the coaches. They should have told him "just keep him contained - don't even look at the RB"

But he bit the fake and Fields ran right around him. He looked like an absolute fool.
Same DB that got burned badly on the 4th down play for a TD. He played it as an out. WR ran right past him for the easiest TD of his life.

You are being a homer here. It's far more that Chase.

It's their mistreatment of Higgins and Hendrickson. They were staight up disrespect to Higgins.

Add that to years of letting top talent walk because you cant pay them aint helping.

What the Bengals need to do is to sell off part ownership to other people.

They are the mom&pop shop of the NFL. They just don't have to capital to compete with the other teams around the NFL.

They have the smallest FO and Scouting department in the NFL. They can't pay their talent and thats why they let players walk.

I don't know about blowing it up. Their DBs are very young - just need to decide if they'll get better. I'd definitely be firing some coaches because I saw ZERO improvement on the year.

You are correct that they can't pay them all. I've been saying that since Chase started all his shit at the beginning of this season.
Burrow is your only untouchable player. My assumption is they will sign Chase this off-season. They *could* tag Higgins for another year - but he won't like that one bit and I'd honestly like to see them spend some money elsewhere.

Hendrickson is technically signed through next year - but if he doesn't get anything long term I can see him make some "trade me" noise again.

The fact is they whiffed HUGE on Orlando Brown Jr.
That fat fuck is signed through 2026. But he's so bad you can't leave him out there. Maybe move his worthless ass to guard. I don't know. Unlike a younger player, fOBJ isn't going to get better and that's what's scary.

Holy shit at Andrews.
The rumors of his demise have been greatly exagerrated.

Tucker on the other hand...
WTF?

This is the first season where Lamar is throwing passes in positions for his receivers to make a play.

In the past, he'd have tucked that and ran... this season he's trusting his weapons to outplay defenders.
