I was pulling for JB but wasn't emotionally attached to the game. They really didn't play a bad game. I think the only thing they need is better olinemen.

Their wide receivers don't drop too many balls. They make plays. When Chase is doubled they have others they can go to. They may need another legit #2 but with time I think they can get open. Which is what olinemen would give them.

They've a decent tightend, decent rbs. The defense plays good except for Apple.

So they pay Joe, pay Chase, get some olinemen and a db. They'll be set.

Add another olinemen in FA or Draft

And hope the ones you paid last year stay healthy

Joe Burrow needs to refuse to sign any deal from the bengals and demand a trade to the Saints

They have three very good receivers right now. I guess they could let one or two of them walk and pick up another in the draft. But receiver isn’t an area of need.

olinemen


They need these in spades and defensive backs, specifically corners.

Lol he'd be king there


What kind of weapons do the Saints have? Michael Thomas? Is he still what he once was?

No. Higgins is one of the best #2 WR’s. Maybe the best. Boyd is the same as a #3.

They don’t need much else.

Health. They lost their best CB and 3 starting OL. That’s what really did them in.

They need better O Lineman badly, get rid of Eli Apple, cut #58, and replace with a new DB and new LB. Also need to win Home Field advantage throughout playoffs & the Bengals will win some super bowls.

Yeah I agree it's just it seems like when Chase is doubled they have issues. I think they need a change of pace receiver, like an Edelman. Irwin brings that but I don't think he's as gifted as they need.

Those issues are because Burrow doesn’t have time to get the ball to other guys. The Bengals didnt look like this when their OL was healthy

An offensive scheme that doesn't expose the QB on every throwing down. Man, that offense is one feast or famine ordeal.

Bengals need to rework their OL again
And I’d love to see them give the Saints a 1st for Lattimore so they can dump Apple

I mentioned this as well. I think they have to go olinemen and dbs.

Someone else mentioned 58 and he messed up but he played a good game otherwise.

The troll in me says get a qb who throws less picks, but in reality they need to upgrade the oline and flush that terd Apple

With even an average oline they probably make this SB and win last years

Get this guy someone to throw to finally!

If NE can help out Macaroni with targets and an OC like this then Cinci should certainty be able to help Joe.

Oline but Burrow had 1 pass through receiver’s hands in the end zone and another bounce off receiver’s helmet. Also, one INT was a bad bounce. Give that dude some protection, and he’s carving dlines for the next decade or more.

There were some bad calls both ways in this one, but the ones against Bengals hurt more knowing how they got jobbed in the regular season with the game cancellation.
