Are the Bengtals cheap?

Just by blind chance, a team should be able to win a playoff game in three decades in a league that emphasizes parity. We just got to hope that with the foundation of Burrow the Bengals have a string of luck on draft picks and the way the ball bounces, because I think the grade is in with reference to FO/ownership competency and willingness to make the financial sacrifices necessary to bring a Lombardi.

Yup, you nailed it with the bolded.  If the Bengals didn't luck into those two we are likely still an awful team.  And how did we end up with Burrow and Chase?  Because we were a horrible team.

FA isn't over yet, so I will not say they failed, but I have little to no hope they do anything but fail in FA and also piss off 2 to 3 of our best players in the process.  It's crazy to watch.
