Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)

Bengals better hope to win big this year, because an extension for Chase is going to cost them BIG now. Leave it to Mike Brown and family to make a terrible financial decision to wait to extend a top 3 WR. What would've been $35mil/yr will be closer to $45mil/yr+ now! Good luck trying to revamp that OL and putrid defense backfield with 2 players occupying a bulk of the salary cap

I know people say "that was the worst officiating ever" way too much...but it really might have been in my memory, or at least happened to my team. I cannot believe that no calls can ever go Joe's way, especially when the call is so obvious. The refs are going to let the best QB in the league get killed out there with that shit, those refs need their walking papers today. I really only watch now for Burrow and Chase, but Burrow won't make it through the season if that keeps happening. Sure, the defense played like crap mostly and we made mistakes, but the officiating made those mistakes insurmountable toward the end.

Honestly, I can't even watch the NFL anymore with the ever growing belief that its rigged and at best poorly officiated. Ski season is nigh and I'll probably be using my Sundays on that like last year. This season is toast and really I hope we don't win another game and screw our draft pick like last year.

Officiating is usually to blame when your team is the frequent victim of calls that are thought of as suspect. But the funny thing is, think of how many no calls that OSU has gotten that we never talk about. But like my former coaches used to tell me, we didn't lose based off of 1 call/no call from the refs.


These plays are far more egregious than any no call, IMO. Playing defense and not tackling is worse than expecting the refs to decide the game. I know people like to say the NFL is rigged, and use select plays, but come on, there are many blown plays that lead to the 1 play that lost your team the game.

Well there were MANY no calls when it mattered. I won't blame the loss on officiating alone, the defense had so many errors as pointed out. But shit like that really hurts against good teams like Baltimore and the Chiefs.

He's such a good player. I hate that Ohio professional sports robs so many great careers of championships. I guess you could say at least he got to a SuperBowl, which is no small feat, but he ain't winning a ring in Cincy.
This is all on him being on the team of the most incompetent owner in the NFL. The Bengals have a ton of talent over the years, and can be argued that a good number of teams would be envious. But Brown always found ways to lose the guys because he was too cheap to keep them. And then kept patching teams together with duct tape and gum in the form of big name players past their prime. And I fear this will happen again very soon but losing Higgins, and possibly Chase as well. Or spending so much on Chase that it makes the OL and defense even worse

Burrow could restructure his contract. Of course, $30M/year would have been enough to live on, but he negotiated for $55M/year because apparently that's what he needs to live comfortably. "B-But that's what Majomes is getting..." I couldn't care less. And the Bengals seem to be at a disadvantage with the private equity issue because (I don't fully understand it) they, alone, are not participating in it, I think. Paul Brown owned 10% of the Bengals early on, and now the Browns own 97%, lol.
