COB Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 Also, Watson looks like shit. He’s probably gone after this year, it’s going to be an unhappy ending for Watson in Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 I see what you did there, but I dont think the, uh, "massage technicians" offer an UNhappy ending 73m dead cap hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead money if he was cut would be $173 million. Cap hit in 2026 is still $73 million, dead money is $100 million, so even then it’s tough. Bottom line is their pretty much stuck with him.

HoosierCat Posted September 9 Author Report Share Posted September 9 Morrison: Quote Sunday’s 16-10 loss to the New England Patriots dropped the Bengals to 1-10 in the first two games of the season since Taylor arrived in 2019. Only two other teams have fewer than three wins in Weeks 1-2 in that span, the Carolina Panthers (2-9) and the New York Jets (2-8, with their opener still to come Monday night). It’s not just the Bengals’ early losses; they’ve been stunning and sloppy. The Bengals have lost five consecutive Week 1-2 games, and they were favored in all five of them. In three of them, they were favored by at least 7 points—8.5 today vs. the Patriots, 7 in the 2022 Week 2 game at Dallas, and 7 in the 2022 opener at home vs. the Steelers. They also were favored by 1.5 in last year’s opener at Cleveland and by 3.5 in last year’s Week 2 home game against Baltimore. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/bengals-fall-in-weeks-1-2-under-zac-taylor-2024/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I think it was feasible to cut him after ‘24, but then they just restructured his deal, for the second time, and his cap number went up. Again. That owner dug a hole and he just keeps on digging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 So I take it if the Bengals don’t establish somewhat of a running game the Bengals won’t be able to throw deep, with the safeties just hanging in the back. Hopefully they can fix that soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Thinking about Burrow and his comments about being healthy all through camp was “Uncharted Territory”. Well, they are 0-1. They've charted the shit out of that territory. Guess being healthy didn’t matter after all. This coaching staff is failing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Watson has a 100% guaranteed contract. Cutting him does nothing for the Browns other than destroy their cap for a couple seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 They can erase this game from relevance by stealing a win in KC. I doubt it happens, but I'll give them the opportunity before I completely eviscerate everyone and everything. While they definitely always start slow, they also always recover. So we'll see.

AMPHAR Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Just bad on 3rd down. Pay a QB that much. You must protect him better on at least 3rd down and he's got to convert them. Couldn't do it today, so it translates to 48 plays being run. Can not feed the ball to anybody with that 3rd down performance and that number of plays.

ArmyBengal Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 Maybe it's just the irritation, but I find myself second guessing decisions this team has made. It's not a true apples to apples comparison, but don't think it's far off either. In another town, not far up the road, the Detroit Lions have built one of the best offensive lines and are severely limited at WR. They have a QB cast off from his old team and bits and pieces from the draft and free agency across that roster. However, they are not only succeeding, but have better odds at winning the Super Bowl than the Bengals. In the meantime, we have a high end, high paid QB, two WR's who both want to be paid at the top of the market and consistently field one of the worst o-lines in all of football. Couple that with a 1-10 record through the first two weeks of Coach Taylor's head coaching run. I'm not suggesting burning it down, but I am thinking they may have gone in the wrong direction. Maybe stop drafting WR's in the first two rounds and take more shots with the building of the o-line? Of course that starts with firing Pollack and going after a noted (see successful) o-line coach to assist that build. Again, I'm not suggesting this is a spot on comparison, just what I'm thinking when I watch our Bengals play. Then again, maybe I'm completely full of shit and wrong. God knows that's truly a possibility. Still angry today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this team is suppose to be a high end Super Bowl contender, they should be able to beat a hapless Pats team as long as they have a healthy Burrow. Does he make the players around him better or is he Dalton who has to have everything line up? I’m guessing the former. Bengals - 27 Patriots - 17 Not sure about the wrist. We could be looking at Joe (Greg Cook) Burrow, or even a better parallel, the Don Gullet of the Bengals??? Didn't have a history of injuries in college?

A defense that really gets after it as well. Dalton Schultz is also a really underrated TE that I would have liked to see here in Cincinnati. Oh well, where was I? Oh yeah, the Bengals.

volcom69 Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 I hate football media, but I do agree with ones that say this team is way to finesse. There is nothing physical about them, they get pushed around all the time. Not only that but they are so vanilla, they take no chances. There were no trick plays, no end arounds, nothing to keep the Pats guessing. Every year it’s the same damn thing, and it really getting frustrated.
