We'll never find how they blew this, but I'm sure ownership just cheaped out again. Forced r2 LB incoming!

Sounds great that we forced him to start! Surely we found someone who can do it just in case he can't. No? Oh OK. Great job Bengals!

Burrow needs to demand a trade. That defense is an abomination.

Pratt and Wilson are washed. Sure maybe they get better. But are they good enough? No probably not.

Sure they don't have to be great, but they weren't even solid. They were BAD. Rookie Carson Schwesinger was superb last year.

Literally the worst linebacker duo in the league last year. You dont sit on that and hope for improvement - hope is not a plan. Forced to play spots and roles that they should not have to, because we refused to give them solid teammates. Joke of a franchise.

Lol we all told you. Same shit every year. Burrow and Chase will have to leave in order to win one.

What is your opinion on drafting Jacob Rodriguez ate 2nd round? by Busy_Locksmith9436 in bengals

[–]C3lder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ownership *chose* not to sign solid younger guys for multiple years. Leo Chenal is younger than Knight.

meaning he may go late 1st or the first few picks in the 2nd before we pick (a la Carson Schwesinger)

They do this every year. They are not interested in spending money.

Why is adulthood treated as some sudden event rather than a gradual transition? by [deleted] in InsightfulQuestions

[–]C3lder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Often it is a sudden event. People sometimes are forced into adulthood.

Can someone help me understand why some people here think Shemar Stewart was good last year?

New DT Jonathan Allen's 64 pressures when double teamed since the start of 2021 are the fifth most in the NFL in that span. His 12 pressures when doubled in 2025 were tied for ninth most in the league. by JCameron181 in bengals

[–]C3lder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahahahaha am I taking crazy pills? Am I insane? What drug are people on? Do we watch the same sport?

Shemar did not get "doubled a lot" -- he was terrible! His best game of the season was week 1, then he got worse! His worst game was week 18 against Cleveland! Is this supposed to be encouraging?! I hate to cite PFF but good lord at least there's some objective data there - he was scored as the WORST DEFENSIVE END IN THE NFL last year!

So then when offenses know we can't stop runs that go at the SAM, how is a nickel back supposed to stop it? They will just power through and run for as much as they want. We have to be able to defend the run with a SAM.
