What's up with the Bengals?
- Thread starter UK till Death
- Start date
Run game looked good. Hope they use it more
Defense was unreal tonight.
The offense looked better than it had in the previous two games, hence "showing signs of life."
Also not the bengals style of adding a big time player during the season. Disappointed to see they have so much cap space still available.
Wide Receiver depth will be an issue if Boyd or Higgins aren't retained. Both Higgins & Boyd are unrestricted FAs in 2024. Not a problem in 2023, Adams likely is out of their price range anyways though there are plenty of holes that still need to be filled on this roster that make keeping all 3 WRs a challenge. Need a TE, help in the secondary, D-Line better Monday unlike the pathetic performance before but it was the Rams. Mixon was fine Monday night though you never know what you get from him week to week or how many carries he'll receive. Not going to get carried away by Monday's win until they play a team again with a pulse. Don't know about Seattle, 2-1 but lost to the Rams. We'll know more Week 8 at San Francisco.

Adding a WR like Adams would be too costly while trying to fill 'holes' throughout the roster that need to be addressed. Even if a deal were to be worked in the offseason if the Bengals lost Higgins or Boyd and Adams is not moved this season...They won't be spending that much money to add a #2 or #3 receiver alongside Ja'Marr Chase. Right back to the draft to replace them if the Bengals don't pay up with the $86.63 million in flexibility in 2024.
Hard to think they won't sign Higgins. Not sure on Boyd. Definitely need TE addressed. Also Reader is gone after this year if they do anything there.
Plus Chase is on deck for next year. Not confident Yoshi is gonna be good enough to replace Tee. RT will be open next year likely too.
🤣🤣🤣
Offense definitely showing signs of life! Getting lit up by a very average titan defense.
The Titans have a good D. The weak spot is the secondary. They have to get pressure with 4 or 5.
Sorry even good D doesn’t make a good offense look this bad. Bengals offense looks like high schoolers against pros. Completely inept this entire season, across the board.
We are one amazing defensive effort away from 0-4.
I think they will do everything in their power to re-sign him but my concern is Higgins getting a better deal elsewhere. Going to need more than just Ja'Marr Chase as he can't do it all, 7 receptions for 73 yards, Higgins got hurt and the next closest was Boyd with 26 yards is not going to cut it.
Jonah Williams also up in free agency making $12.6 million this year. Charlie Jones is on IR now missing crucial time in development this year. The quoted $86 million in payroll flexibility will go fast. Hell if they don't get their shit together they will replenish in favorable position after losing these bullshit games.
After this game just shows how many glaring weaknesses are on this team. Need to hire a real offensive coordinator ASAP and Zac give up the play calling. These same issues with an anemic, predictable offense that predates the Burrow injury and are stunting the potential of all of these 'playmakers'. Mixon should have more than 9 carries at halftime but does not change my stance on the need of another RB like they had with Perine.

Time to shake things up honestly. They had their run, but they’ve become extremely predictable and other defenses aren’t struggling at all to stop them. Mixon has stayed 3 years past his welcome and Boyd can easily be replaced.
Honestly want a new OC and different schemes. They are far too robotic with their game plan and it’s become all too easy to stop. Even with playmakers…

Hope y'all enjoyed last year. I knew my team would be shitty but even so, we're going to end up 2-2 today. Bengals might destroy an amazing parlay I have. Even picked the Bears who are leading 21-7.
Offense is a train wreck. They’ve scored 49 points so far in 3 1/2 games. That’s 3.5 points per quarter. Looking like the worst offense in the NFL right now.
Burrow has zero mobility right now. Teams are getting quick pressure forcing him to get the ball out quick. I drafted him in fantasy. He is killing me
Zero reason for Burrow to be in this game that has been over since the 1st half. Just asking for him to further aggravate the calf injury or worse.
Wish the Titans offense had shown up like this in divisional round a few seasons ago.
Titans are a bizarre bunch through 4 games.
Awful weekend for city of Cincy though. First the Cardinals bitch slap the Reds from playoff contention and now today.

FD had a 50 dollar bet on who wins the Super Bowl. Every time your team wins a regular season game you get a 5 dollar bonus bet back up to 550 -10 wins. I bet Cowboys wife bet Cowboys so I changed my pick to the Bengals so we could have a NFC AFC team maybe get that matchup in the Super Bowl. I picked the wrong AFC team.
Season is done. Burrow ain't able to play. Taylor is lost. Callahan is lost. Man, being a fan of this Org is nothing but mostly frustration.
Teams have figured out Taylor easily. Long ugly season is happening. Back to regularly scheduled programming. Seen this umpteen times through the years. Scored 49 points in 4 games....zero innovation or creativity.
They're done brother. Burrow can't play. Tee will be out along time. Taylor is too much of a softie. Pollak needs fired today. So does Callahan. Neither are doing enough.
Way too much talk went on the off season. This is another chapter in why the Org can never win the Lombardi trophy.
Just so glad Cincinnati fans have been put on a leash. The one's I know delusionaly thought Joe Burrow meant 10-15 straight years in the AFC Championship game.
Sounds like someone who can’t handle the fact cinci has had a better team than his own recently.
Not everyone that posts here has to be a Cincinnati fan. Gimme a break. Hell, they aren't even in the state of Kentucky FFS.
Umm your post has nothing to do with mine. Never said anything about everyone needing to be a cinci fan or anything about what state anyone is in.
You ok?
This is a Kentucky Wildcat forum. Getting hurt feelings because someone here doesn't like the Cincinnati Bengals? Now that's rich. Who dey? Everybody.
