Remember back in the 2010 season when everyone was absolutely jacked about the Bengals? We picked up TO in the offseason and coming off a bitter loss against the Jets but thinking this upcoming year is going to put the pieces together for us finally.
Then the preseason started and the team looked absolutely awful and the excuse over and over was "We are playing vanilla, we dont want to show our playbook" And when the season started it was the Great Shitshow we are too often used too.
Well after watching this defense last week, all I thought was its the Great Shitshow all over again with this group of defensive players. The only difference..and a big one is we have Burrow and Chase that are the best in their category. Is ownership going to waste another year of their talent with a completely inept defense? I didnt see anything positive when watching the 1st team defense get smoked by a second team offense in Philly..
This defensive team just has to be average and with our offense we can go far...but if they cant even muster that underachieving objective, its gonna be another long season watching us lose games that score 41-38...

"If the most important thing is the financials' and the second most important thing is winning, then you don't have a chance. It's so important for ownership to do what it takes to win"
