Greetings, Bengals fans!
There’s no sugarcoating it at this point. This season has been an abject failure in Cincinnati, as it seems like all of the holes in this franchise have come back to haunt this team after one of the most successful stretches it’s ever seen.
Whether it’s the Bengals being cheap with free agents, not re-signing their best players, staying too committed to coaches clearly in over their head, or epically failing in the draft (when they don’t have top-five picks), we’re seeing a lot of things come into play that led to former franchise quarterback Carson Palmer essentially quit on the team before being traded away.
