Burrow's only hope is the Rams win the Super Bowl and Stafford retires and Snead is on the phone to the Bengals the next day with a starting offer of 2 1sts.

 

Brown will play hardball. It's what he does.

 

I wonder what a Burrow trade would entail.

 

I would imagine Bengals will tell Burrow you play here or retire. 

 

 

IMO Taylor is and has been the most overrated HC in the league.

 

I wonder if a certain grumbling curmudgeon with a defensive background would help ...

I can see injuries messing with him. We act like these guys only play football. Last I checked, Burrow is a single guy.. maybe a gf, maybe not.. either way, constantly rehabbing from big time surgeries and constantly in pain isn’t exactly a great life, regardless of how much money you make. 
 

If it’s a shot at the organization… I mean, you lobbied to get all your guys paid and they did that.   Having both Chase & Higgins comes at a price.

 

He advocated for Trey Hendrickson too and the team didn't really budge.

Well, that narrows it down a bit.

IMO Zach Taylor is the biggest solvable problem there. 

 

If Belichick is ever going to get another NFL job it's going to take someone like Burrow pushing for it. And he would have to be given free reign. 

 

The reason I connect him to the Bengals is that the Bengals don't really have strong front offices. They don't even have a GM! That's incredible. 

 

So, it's made for Belichick: QB in place, no GM anyway, so he can run the whole show. If Mike Brown realizes this will keep Burrow happy and help the team win he could do it.

 

Obviously Belichick would take that job in 2 seconds. The Bengals have a coffee fetcher right now who got the job because he was in a  room with Sean McVay for 5 minutes and he has done ok here and there. 

 

But I blast Taylor every chance I get because it is demonstrated every time Burrow goes out that his success is 100% due to Burrow. Without him (and even sometimes with him early in seasons) they cannot win games. 

 

Imagine missing 3 years in a row with Allen in a system where 7 teams make it. 

 

Belichick would have that team pushing for the #1 seed next season. He would have his pick of OCs to work with Burrow, so he would need someone good, that would be the only possible holdup.

what a difference between his mind and Allen's for this game.

 

All his well wishers can cheer him up with a pair of playoff tickets.

What a depressing press conference, that's grounds for making the QB the GM before you get another Luck situation

That too, but Taylor cannot win games without Burrow. 

 

Even with Burrow the team comes out unprepared, sluggish, unmotivated and starts slow almost every year. 

 

I just don't get how Taylor has a job.

They're so cheap they don't even have a GM!

how long would McD last without Allen?  The Walrus without Kermit the Frog? 
 

Cincy has some 1 game without Burrow, who has 1 less win than Burrow has (counting completed games). 
 

Burrow is soft, a head case.  Imagine being a Bengals fan and watching that press conference today!  wtf

Burrow is a different guy, no doubt about that

 

Apparently he got all excited about talking Pokemon in this same press conference

I think he’s done.

I was at Jungle Noise and a Bengal's fan posted what I thought was a great description of the Brown family business:

 

Yes…I am concerned but there are people who post that call him a cry baby, spoiled and entitled.  

Joe is the best the Brown family will ever get and they are pissing it away.  The Brown family reminds me of a family who cannot manage their family finances well and end up receiving government assistance (NFL profit sharing)  All of a sudden the family wins the lottery (Joe Burrow) and they piss the money away because they do not know what they are doing spending the lottery winnings partying and buying useless items.  Eventually the family ends up bankrupt.  

 It is a damn same Joe’s career is heading down this trajectory and it is because of the Brown family.  Screw you Katie and Mike.  You have no business owning a team.

wow not even close.  Browns Titans and Raiders. 

 

if the "worst ownership" resulted in Chase, Hggins, Boyd and a 1200 yard RB around Josh Allen all in the same year, posters here would rightfully fund the statue of the guy out front.

What if the Bills had an awful OL and college level defense? They would be.....well.....the Bengals. Top 5 worst then.

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

What is Burrow crying about ? Both of those picks were on him. They most likely would’ve won the game without his mistakes. Take accountability

Maybe Greg Cosell didn’t give his Bengals a thumbs up review.

That's my biggest pet peeve 

 

Nobody can give Christian Benford the credit for making a tremendous play 

 

Sure bro didn't make the greatest decision and kind of shot put it out there... But That is a phenomenal play 

 

The bills defense made plays back-to-back when they needed it they were not handed the game.. they took it

So your argument is the because the Bengals have the worst Defense THIS YEAR, the wonership is the worst?

 

The ownership paid their franchise QB and not one but two WR1s---and paid Hendricks at least for another year.  This ownership has seen 2 HCs over 23 seasons.  This ownership has put back to back teams in the AFCC game in the past 5 years (winning one).  Still want to compare to the Bills?

 

Over the same 20+ years, the Jets ownerships has hired 7HCs, burned through at least 11 starting QBs (including dumping 2 1st round QB picks that went on to succeed elsewhere) and have not played in a playoff game in 15 years.  

 

The Browns have famously had 10 HCs over the same 23 year period and at least 18 QBs have started games for them. At one point the Browns ownership went though 4 HC's in 6 seasons before hiring the worst professional sports coach in sports history:  Hue Jackson.  And after Hue went 1-15, did they fire him?  Of course not.  Did they fire him when he went 0-16 the following year?  Not a chance.

 

 

You could not be more wrong on this.

I agree.  I've long said that in the NFL especially that players (QB's specifically) make coaches.  Look no further than Bill Belichick who has done so much damage to his reputation as a great coach by hanging around the Pats after Brady left.  Belichick's record as a head coach with Brady 249-75 without 83-104.  In the NFL coaches that have great QB's can win in spite of themselves.

BB was a great defensive coordinator before he got to the Patriots.  His 1st SB in NE wasn't about Brady but really about great coaching.
