Again…that is the “QB only” argument.
If the CFT, DEN…heck let’s throw in the #4 Seed ATL and the (now) #5 Seed Stealers while we are at it…can be in the thick of things with XFL QB’s, washed out veterans, Desmond Ritter, and Kenny Freaking Pickett, why are the Bengals—with all of the vaunted weapons/minds not?
It’s not the same era as Billy Kilmer, for certain; but not that insanely so.
Where are the weapons? Defense? Minds? I was under the impression that this was such an uber-talented franchise, that it could cruise to Las Vegas regardless.
Because Ritter and Pickett are much better QBs than an undrafted QB who hasn’t played in 5 years. And stop with the Russell Wilson is washed up nonsense, it simply isn’t true. He had the worst coach in the NFL last year.
The Browns won 5 of their 7 games with Watson at QB and the #1 defense. Our defense isn’t anywhere close to as good as theirs and nobody ever claimed it was.
And Atlanta has a losing record, they just happen to lead the worst division in football.

Andy Reid made JU JU look good, I can’t imagine what Tee would do there.

That's debatable, Burrow fell into his lap and advocated for Chase. Without Burrow Taylor is an awful HC, his record without Burrow is abysmal.
Meh, there were quite a few good QBs in that draft to include Herbert, Tua and Hurts.
You can NOT succeed in the NFL without a top tier QB. Bill Bellicheat is finding that out right now.
New Orleans has all kinds of offensive firepower and a good defense. Derek Carr is no better than Andy Dalton was last year.
BTW, Staley is a much worse coach than Zac.

Who gives a crap who is at QB? I thought this defense was upper level quality? I have been told the offense has more weapons than very few others. What about genius defensive coordinators/offensive minds? If the CFT can compete …if the Denver freaking Broncos can compete—all without that essential “franchise QB”…shouldn’t the Bengals?
Oh yeah—that shit offensive line. It’s all that. Well, if that is true… then St Joseph still was at 5-5 before today. Where were those weapons and genius minds before?
And, as I mentioned, BUF is at 6-6 WITH their Superman QB. I don’t think they are worrying about the draft just yet.
Find me another team in the NFL that’s solution for backup QB is a guy who has thrown 1 pass in a real game in the last 59 months. Joe Burrow was playing TCU in the Fiesta Bowl 59 months ago. That was his FIRST year at LSU.
It is why the Bengals had little choice but to play an injured Burrow early in the season.
And yeah, when you have a QB that can put up 400 total yards of offense (Allen), in a rain storm, on the road, against arguably the best team in the NFL, and put up 34 points you still have a chance at 6-6.
Our schedule doesn’t allow for an inexperienced journeyman who has ZERO game experience to carry it.

That is a very 90’s take. How often I remember being told then that highly paid professionals “laid down” because thus and so unfortunate happening happened.
That mindset—if indeed it even exists—is a ticket to the waiver wire or non-renewed contracts.
Well, then the other option is they are terrible and the very bad Stealer offense just kicked them in the teeth at home. I am good with either.

Burrow is basically Lebron James carrying the Cavs to the Finals
Yep. The defense can play well but they knew going into this game that Browning is trash. At some point, human nature kicks in and they simply shut it down.

That’s WITH Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Mixon etc…. He still can’t do anything against NFL defenses without Burrow. Simply incapable.
And that should scare everyone. The team is a bottom 25% team without Burrow.

Team outcoached again
Nah. The team is only as good as a healthy Joe Burrow is. We are no different than the Colts were with Andrew Luck. Without a top 5 QB we are the same ole Bengals.

Just stop. It was only 23 catches. Drama Queen.

Wilson shutting it down for the season. Smart move.

Defense has now given up…???
Might as well. No reason to risk injury for an offense that is horrible.

Defense has mailed it in.

Can Browning lead a game-winning drive?
Can Burrow throw left-handed?
1. No.
2. It would be more entertaining.

LOL. The defense knows the game is over. They know Browning is useless.

The League Office realizes that in a usual year the Squeelers are irrelevant, but with Burrow now out, they have their opening to push this sorry ass franchise into the playoffs by force.
Or maybe our offense without Burrow is dogshit???

Pretty hard to justify spending 3 hours watching this garbage. I turned down tickets for today as well. Thinking football at all levels is over this season.

WR is tough for me. Love Tee but paying him when we know we want to pay Chase isn't wise. Also with an elite QB you shouldn't need 2 elite WRs. I thnk DJ Reader is more important and rarer than Tee
Yeah, unfortunately there are very few teams with this much receiver talent and one of them is usually on a rookie contract like Waddle in Miami. Just can’t afford the trade off from an overall talent perspective.

The mechanics of William Orland Kilmer Jr were, to say the least, different
True story, I bought Billy Kilmer a pack of cigarettes at a bar back when he played for the Saints. I was maybe 7 or 8.

Herbert has way too much arm talent to be a losing QB.
It shows how many variables (many of them mental and not physical) go into winning at the position.
I don’t think Herbert’s mental “variables” have much to do with having a terrible defense and the worst situational coach in the league. Staley will be gone next year minus a spectacular turn around.
He hasn’t missed a game in 4 years which is hard to ignore.

Don't give up yet, Bengals just have to get into the dance with a hopefully healthy Burrow.
Sigh. When I saw Browning come in I checked his stats. 1 competitive pass in 6 years! 1! A full blown rookie who played last January in a Bowl game would give me more hope.

I dunno about that, Bart Scott clearly has CTE and Burrow was hurt going into the game, I didn't see them trying to hurt him.
It was your typical tackle the play before. Just landed on what was probably an already injured wrist.
WEEK 12: vs SQUEELERS (GameDey thread)

100th pick?? More like the 150th to 180th pick. But we are getting 2 so that is like a getting a top 10 pick in the CFL.
And Staley was the next coming of Sean McVay…, until he wasn’t. Truth be told, McVay was basically given the best team (short term) a coach could ask for. Few other owners would be willing to decimate their franchise long term like that. And other than a Super Bowl the team still has a horrible fan base. At least we have a pretty decent fan base.
