I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

Philly ownership is way more wealthy and willing to spend. The Bengals can't build a team the way Philly has with their ownership. [Reply]

Plus Philly drafts MUCH better than Cincy. [Reply]

They can, it's just a matter of if they will. It involves kicking the can down the road and you're going to have to pay the piper at some point.
That has always been the sticking point with the Bengals on operating that way. Not that they can't. They just won't.
Teams that really want the hardware are willing to do it and when you have a capable QB, you should. [Reply]

I’m very much enjoying the Bengals downfall and Joe Burrow running to every single pod and media interview last week to basically shit on their owner [Reply]

When saying "can't" I was talking about the actual staff. They won't be able to build a team that way because ownership won't let them. [Reply]
Sources: The Bengals' plan to use the franchise tag on Tee Higgins. Here's what it means for a long-term deal, when it could happen and other details that we have on the star wide receiver⬇️https://t.co/TdLrFWc6Bn

Best thing for opponents would be them keeping the oft-injured WR who will now command $25m+.
Seriously, paying Higgins that kind of money to play 70% of the games at most while the rest of your roster is kinda ass…. Yeah, that’s how you don’t get back to a SB 101. [Reply]

Bengals risk fracturing their core irreparably if this goes sideways. Burrow is already public with his displeasure and another long and drawn out tag fight is the last thing they need. [Reply]

Burrow is just setting them up to pull the rug out, mark my words…
If/when they don’t meet his perceived expectations and don’t win at the highest level, he will use this time as his excuse for demanding a trade.
Deep down he knows his demands are largely disingenuous and won’t be met, but at least if they aren’t, he can use that to hit the eject button. [Reply]

And the window for trading him seems closed now that Burrow has been publicly campaigning to retain him.
They screwed the pooch so badly with this last off-season. The fact that they didn't trade him then just blows my mind. It would've headed so much of this off and given them a nice little bit of draft capital to rebuild their defense. [Reply]
