    Playoff football does start in September, hopefully the Bengals learned that this year.

      Hopefully Zac learned that. He's had enough chances

    Need to keep Tee Higgins and draft guards to protect Burrow and draft a top end edge rusher to help Hendrickson

    • @josephmorrison3634
      @josephmorrison3634 День назад +1

      Agree on signing Tee Higgins to a long term deal though 2029. Drafting guards is not going to work fast enough or effective enough so free agent guards are the priority. And maybe even move Karras to guard if necessary. But the real focus needs to be DRAFT defense with the top 4 rounds PLUS sign free agents at DI, EDGE and all DB positions.

      Yea we need oline help. I’m tired of seeing joe get destroyed. I like how the pocket breaks down and joe climbs it for a completion but I would love to see him with time

    • @RonaldSchilling-t1z
      @RonaldSchilling-t1z 17 часов назад +1

      @josephmorrison3634 we have to draft a young, strong run blocking guard if not 2 guards. The rest can be defensive picks. Joe has to be better protected, and running the ball will help this entire team on both sides of the ball. Clock management was horrible this season

    AGREED! There is NO doubt in my mind that the Bengals could have won any of the games this past weekend. Most of the games were BRUTAL to watch.
    I LOVE the fact that the Steelers fans are complaining about Tomlin because of his playoff record....😂😂😂😂 he has become Marvin Lewis Jr.😂😂😂😂
    CHEERS to ALL

    Draft and spend money upgrade the whole offensive defensive line. And pay the tee chase and Hendrickson. Also the most important thing is not being scared to spend a lil more for our future defensive coordinator

    The front office of the Bengals will never build the type team that Burrows need around him. The offensive line and defense are abysmal.

  • @jibernish

    I think the biggest fit consideration is how many dollars will still fit in Mike Brown's wallet after hiring a new DC.

  • @johnhitz1185
    @johnhitz1185 День назад +2

    The Texans defense dominated the Chargers after playing bad leading up to the playoffs. Stroud won without his #1 and #2 receivers, but James says they "stink". Our secondary should stink so bad. Sour grapes.

  • @dm8064

    Really need to find some guys that don't let their QB get hit and draft some actual talent for the defense.

  • @NathanDean79
    @NathanDean79 День назад +4

    Chase Brown is younger faster quicker and is a better RB than Joe Mixon. Mixon disappeared the last 5 games of the season. He missed games this year. He is 28. He will be 29 next season. If Brown had played the last game of the season he would have wound up with More yards than Mixon and more tds. Mixon finished with 1016 yards rushing. Brown has 990. Quite simply Chase Brown is better than Joe Mixon is. He is far faster and more explosive.

  • @NathanDean79
    @NathanDean79 День назад +2

    Joe Brady is an offensive coach. There is nothing wrong with our offense accept the running game scheme needs work. Frank Pollock was the running game coordinator. Our offense on the whole was ranked number 5. Nothing wrong with our offense.

    • @justchillin4065
      @justchillin4065 День назад +2

  • @AnthonyMancuso-pt4ru
    @AnthonyMancuso-pt4ru 21 час назад +1

    Good calls on the daggers to the heart watching these other fraud teams playing and our team not. But the one way to justify this cluster season is see that we almost Bungalized the Cowboy Broncos and Steeler wins so it somewhat offsets the ones we lost

  • @AS-wu8ob
    @AS-wu8ob День назад +2

    Keeping Tee should be a priority so unless someone in this comment section is getting paid $275M to pass to him, I don’t know how you could come up with a good reason to not have him on the team. Money is not an issue

    • @brokenarrowoutdoors2467
      @brokenarrowoutdoors2467 День назад +1

      They are better off taking that money they will have to pay and get the best two guards in free agency. With time burrow can make most receivers look as good as Tee. He can’t do that if they don’t have the money to pay guards and he’s on his back. They also need to get edge rusher in free agency. Then draft everyone else. 130plus million in three players on the same side of the ball just isn’t smart

  • @PlayBackYAC
    @PlayBackYAC День назад +1

    Zac brought in Adam Zimmer. Just based off of that I believe there is at least some semblance of a relationship.

  • @NathanDean79

    Maybe now that we have another offensive line coach he can teach these guys how to run block.

  • @hainesforohio7028
    @hainesforohio7028 День назад +1

    Don't underestimate how bad our defense is/was. With that said, our offense could've definitely won us one this past weekend.

  • @writerseye
    @writerseye День назад +1

    Look this is all there is to say on the year. The only if that mattered then and should matter now. If, the defense had stopped just one play on any number of games, the only if would be where they would have seeded. It's over, nothing we do or speculate about will change that fact. We move on. We hire the Defense Coach that we all hope will give us two or three more stops than that and remove all doubt. If we could get Mike Zimmer back, he would do exactly that.

    • @doniajahaan4029
      @doniajahaan4029 День назад +1

      Bengals are not re-building the team, we have a great offense, now with good DC we should be able to develop our defensive players which we have been drafting for last 4 years.

    • @burrow2chase
      @burrow2chase День назад +3

      The defense just needs to be middle of the pack. We don’t need a ridiculously talented defense to contend in this league IF we have 9,1,and 5 together

    • @RonaldSchilling-t1z
      @RonaldSchilling-t1z День назад +2

      @burrow2chase indeed... keep Tee draft a couple of young athletic guards and protect Burrow. I can live with a middle of the pack defense when the offense puts up 30-40 points a game.

    • @OldSchoolMinded

  • @quintenruckman3505
    @quintenruckman3505 День назад +2

    LMFAO!! 4th best team in the AFC?! Couldn’t get into the 7th playoff spot with a LAST PLACE SCHEDULE.. after you lose 16-10 to the Patriots you don’t even get to pretend you’re a top team in your conference. The season is OVER for you! Just stop…

    • @erichelmers3922
      @erichelmers3922 День назад

      Name 1 team that the Bengals can't or have a chance to beat. The Bengals can beat and would have beat the Chiefs if it wasn't for a pass Interference both players went up for the ball at the same time and the chiefs drifted back into the Bengals DB. So there is a good argument the Bengals are a top 4 best team right now in the AFC

    • @quintenruckman3505
      @quintenruckman3505 День назад

      To not admit that was PI is the most delusional Bengal fan take I’ve heard in a while! You can’t play through the WRs back as a DB. You should know the actual rules before talking about the game.. but set that aside and let your delusion ride for a minute. There is no justifying that embarrassing week 1 performance! The Bengals are not a good football TEAM.. you have a good offense that will start to fall off now that Higgins will be gone and Chase wk get $36M per at a minimum. You didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs because you weren’t good enough. Just own it and move on! Nobody cares what you could have hypothetically done against teams that were good enough to get in. You could only get in as the 7 seed with 3 teams losing, that’s EMBARRASSING!

      @jibernish 13 часов назад

      Brown is also responsible for hiring inexpensive coaches, not hiring a GM, and for having the smallest scouting department in the NFL, among other things. He's also responsible for losing players because he won't give out the guaranteed contracts that all the good teams do.

    Ppl say the Bengals couldn’t even beat the Patriots but the refs said Gesickis TD was a non-catch and then after the game reversed it. Then the late ass flag PI call in Kansas City. Idk we beat both those teams but yeah the points say otherwise. Bengals this season definitely a better team then their record and I get it the defense went off a cliff starting with the Commanders game. Sigh.

    Our running game would have been better if Chase Brown had a really good RB to deliver a one-two punch like the Lions have! We would have had that if we still had Joe Mixon or if the FO, Mike Brown and Co. got Derrick Henry or Saquon Barkley!!!!! After they let Mixon go I was so into the idea that we had to get Henry or Barkley! Henry was my first choice! Look at the seasons they both had!!!

    Puhleeze guys not this nonsense. Bengals with 5 straight wins but so what. Who did they beat. A beat up Steeler team on a 4 game losing streak. The Broncos which was probably their best win of the year. the other 3 wins were against bottom feeders who didnt even have their starting QBs. The problem is Taylor. His teams are never ready to play well at the beginning of the season. They lost a ticket to the playoffs in 3, yes count them three games into the season. Zac has not figured out how to implement a running game nr has he figured out how to build an offensive line to protect his FRANCHISE QB!!!.5 years and Burrow still the third most sacked QB in the NFL and also way up with QB pressures. The problem starts and ends with Taylor.
