Are the Cincinnati Bengals in Trouble?

Do you believe the Bengals are in trouble?

[@CaseyMcKee-dr9zx]

Hell no..have u seen there off season the Free Agent pick ups and the great draft they had.. U need 2 go watch some other ppls KZbin channels and pod casts. They have replaced or kept everyone u mentioned so please don't doubt my guys and I'm telling ya bro they gonna set some records this year on way 2 the superbowl title and the 1st of many...js

[@TheRealGoatedMf]

​@@TripleDSI guess because you not updated. Our oline improved to a top 10 possibly. We will take that because burrow is the 2nd best qb with a bottom 5 oline. Team also improved everywhere. Wrs room strong. Running backs more explosive. Yes Mixon great. But he has a slow burst. Also tight end room very strong. Safties improved. Cam was great before injury. Dax switched to corner and has the highest grade vs tights ends. Also ball hawk. Dline improved as well. Dj hurt his back and wasnt gonna be the same. You not updated at all

[@drock5404]

Thanks for the recap bro! As a lifelong Bengals fan, that was perfect perfect. The good thing is, this is the NFL and not MLB. Small markets actually have a chance to put together talent and win.

I’m so sick of the shit talk towards cinci. Let’s talk the FACTS. Burrow is a top 5 QB The bengals roster is LOADED Players requesting trades happens all the time and is a leverage move in an attempt to move contract negotiations forward. Higgins ain’t worth the money he wants on a team that already has a clear #1 WR. Losing Higgins doesn’t mean the offense takes a step back. Burrow cooks with any WR in the lineup. Stats reflect this. Hendrickson requesting a trade is only because he wants long term security and something people fail to mention is Hendrickson signed a deal 9 months ago…if he actually wanted to leave cinci he would have never signed that contract. The Bengals played on of the toughest schedule in the league last season based on the numbers and missed the playoffs by ONE game and would have made it if Boyd catches a closing TD wide tf open that hit him in the hands and despite being injury riddled with such a tough schedule the bengals still went 9-8 in the only division to have all teams above .500 since the NFL merger. If cinci is missing the postseason by one game, decimated by injuries, finishing 9-8 with one of the toughest schedules in the league I think they’ll be okay moving forward this season losing players who’s productivity was in decline while they got younger and more explosive and will be playing a last place schedule. Their 9-8 record would have finished 2nd or 3rd and made the postseason in most other divisions.. If the AFC North didn’t have Cincis number this past season Bengals make the postseason, of the 8 losses cinci had 5 were within the division…only 3 teams outside of the division beat cinci last season…Texans because Boyd forgot how to catch, chiefs (who bengals led 17-7 at halftime) and the titans who kicked the shit out of them. Bengals the 2 of the last 3 seasons finished no worse than playing in the AFC championship game.

[@TripleDS]

No one is “shit taking here” not sure if your just talking in general. In my video I say Burrow is the 2nd best QB in the NFL Losing Higgins will hurt the offense, no one currently on the roster has proven they can step up in that role, even so again in my video I say Burrow is a playmaker and can make up for losses on the offense Even if it’s a “tactic” a disgruntled star is never a good sign, clearly tactic or not if Hendrickson doesn’t get paid (again) he won’t be in Cincy much longer you have to also remember Hendrickson just had 17.5 sack campaign so it makes sense why he wants to get paid again Playing the toughest schedule isn’t an excuse for a team that is playing for a Super Bowl, you’re gonna play the best of the best eventually so you might as well prove you can beat em Additionally, you can’t just downplay we nearly got swept by our entire division, it doesn’t matter how good we are against other teams if we can’t get at least 3-4 wins in the AFC North, last season proved just that. Hope this clears things up! #whodey

[@tmartin8888]

Players request trades all the time, look at the 49ers, it’s part of the NFL. The Bengals flat out do not flinch in these situations, see: Carson Palmer and Jesse Bates. Tee Higgins is going to play for his 20 million dollars this season and guess what, he’ll probably get tagged by the Bengals again in 2025. Trey Hendrickson requesting a trade right after he just accepted a new contract, that’s not going to happen either. And the BS about threatening to retire is ridiculous, especially when he’s demanding a trade. Dude, why ask for a trade if you’re retiring? He has absolutely no leverage, he will also play out his contract in Cincinnati. In big markets like NY or Dallas this might rattle the front office. Small market Cincinnati and Mike Brown have been handling trade demands like a pro, been there done that. People talking before the draft like the Bengals were gonna trade Tee.. pfft. They don’t know who they’re talking about. Tee and Trey are gonna ball out for their next contract, and the Bengals are going to be exactly who they were prior to the Burrow injury, only with the best receiving corps and offensive line Joe Burrow has ever had. Worried about the Bengals? They should be, but not for the reason they say.

[@diamondrg3556]

Tee and Henderickson are staying this season, we might have to let Tee go, but Henderickson should stay for a while.

[@davidg9165]

I click off after a min or two of all of these Bengals YT vids. However, you kept my attention the whole time, great editing, great thoughts and great commentary. I love my Bengals, I was a kid watching Boomer play in the 90’s and have always loved my Bengals. Keep up the great commentary, editing and so forth, peoples attention span is getting shorter these days. I feel that scouting is the absolute #1 priority these days for the Bengals, all it takes is great drafting from us. And Burrow, c’mon son, take a bit less and give your team an advantage…. Look at Brady…. I live 40 mins away from Athens high school (in Jackson, Ohio) where Burrow played, my best friends coached against him. I heard his name way before he was nationally famous from my friends/coaches. 40 million vs 55 million a year is not that big of a difference when you grew up poor, rich is rich.

[@TripleDS]

Appreciate the feedback 👍 I agree that all it takes is a good draft, that's how we got our core players already. No doubt on the pay, I'm hopeful our young guys can step up in a big way considering we haven't paid Chase yet either

[@cityman6912]

What is really going on in the front office and locker room for folks wanting to leave🤔🤔😤

[@Mattmusic11111111]

The bengals took a step forward with their roster just because you change out guys doesn’t mean you got worse. Boyd and mixon weren’t good anymore and Jonah was trash and chido wasn’t that good the only dude we lost that was any good was reader. We needed to turn some of these guys over and get new guys

[@Rawkstar1960]

Hendrickson will be 30 at the end of this year. He had a great year on paper last year. He will get a long term contract that the Bengals won’t be interested in competing against. He wants it now because he’s susceptible to career ending injury based on the nature of the job. Same for Tee. He’s a top tier receiver. He will get paid elsewhere.

[@vanettagrooms4729]

The Bengals are in trouble if they put all of their hope into Burrow because he is not living his life right so he will keep on getting the phantom type injuries and accidents like on March 5, 2024 because he will continue to reap what he sews. He does whatever he wants on and off of the field without regard for anyone other than himself, and his teammates or fam only want to spend as little time with him as possible because he is so hard to take. He will never change his ways and he will bring the Bengals down with him. Our best bet is Jake Browning and the players who can put up with jb.

[@noblet.v5009]

Please tell me how they “took a step back”. True, Reader was a major loss; but they upgraded at safety, Tight end, and OT. That’s not including the draft, if they hit on Mims and any two between Burton, Jenkins, Lee, McLaughlin, or All that window just opened back up. Plus they’ll have extra picks the next year after tagging and trading Tee and they’ll have at least one comp pick between Jonah, Reader, and Chido signing starter contract elsewhere.

[@TheLeadG]

You don’t know if those are upgrades you are hoping they are but we will have to see. An unknown in most cases is almost always more concerning than a known.

[@noblet.v5009]

@@TheLeadG nah g, you see that safety play last year? Stone is an upgrade over Hill and Bell is an upgrade over Scott, PLUS Battle, who showed promise is not a rookie anymore. How tf is Gesiki (however you spell it) not and upgrade over Hudson? Mind you Hudson was their best TE last year AND is still on the roster. Are you trying to tell me Trent Brown isn’t better than Jonah Williams? That’s not even including drafting Mims, who is the only real question mark that I listed an even that is because he’s a rookie unknown. You’re being contrary for the sake of being contrary.

You know man, channels like yours that like to troll people kind of piss me off. But I'll bite. Joe Burrow is about to start what, his fifth season as a Bengal and according to you, the Super Bowl contender period is already over. The Steelers and Ravens get to have runs of 10 or 15 years where they have a shot at it, but not the Bengals. Fuck it, lets just take all the teams out of the division except for the Steelers and they can win it every season for the next 50 years like they won it most of the time in the last 50.
