Unfortunately for me this season broke my spirit. If you can't win with Burrow and the O doing what they are doing then damn. The Brown family is not serious about running an NFL team. They are serious about doing it their way and screw everything else. Loyalty over results. Money over results. They won't fire anyone while still under contract as an example. They cost themselves millions by not getting Chase deal done as another. They have 2 scouts. 2!!!!!! These are very unserious people when it comes to football.
Yes, we signed some FA's. How have they turned out? How have the draft picks turned out for the D? 2 scouts. smh
I am just never falling for the fake hype again. These are unserious, inept people running the Bengals. An old school lawyer given an NFL team and now a daughter with no real world business experience who learned from one of the worst owners in all of pro sports. If they are really changing then where is the real GM, real scouting department, where is the restructure of football minded serious people in the org instead of all top people being family/ friends? They need to show me some REAL change, not just some scrub FA's. Fire some coaches before their contract ends. Hold some people accountable for not wining. Show me some REAL effort. Not some bs appeasement and even then they screw that up.
I agree on the Burrow wrist for sure. That was very concerning. It is great watching the offense do what they are doing. Too bad it is being wasted/ruined because of complete incompetence at the top and an unwillingness to change.
I guess I just don't see things as way different as some do. The entire org is the same. Other than some FA's nothing has changed.
I understand a lot of what you say here wholeheartedly bud. The Blackburn girls growing up could help and we have seen some of it on social
media and such where they seem on top of their game. Maybe they can bring in some change and the old man cannot live forever. Sad when
anyone makes their life a problem for someone else, let alone millions of fans who give him money buying his product.
The thing is, I want the change you are talking about as well, but I have seen a start with the FA I mentioned in getting some top FA's in their
prime in Trey and DJ namely. Maybe more change will come, my Bengals spirit will always be strong and cannot be broken. I am weird this way
and only root for the team more when BS is going on. Karma has to change as well, I know some don't believe in this but when you are a team
like the stealers or Chefs and need the refs to help you win, that eventually catches up to you.
We will see how much change happens in the Offseason. If we fire the entire Defensive staff and Pollack and replace them with decent coaches
and have a decent FA and Draft we are right back in this thing with Burrow at the helm playing the best of his career.
