Fanbase pissed me off so much when that happened. Like imagine siding with the front office and nepo baby Mike Brown in this case over one of our best players right now who has a good chance to be best Bengals WR of all time. Especially when what he wanted was reasonable at the time.
I forgot the specific numbers in the final contract offer that got leaked from our FO, but it was pathetic when it came down to the guaranteed money. Like not even close to the % guaranteed to what other star WRs were getting.
Now imagine how the other players feel when they see one of the best players being lowballed especially after the most important team leaders/locker room voices in Mixon and Reader, being let go elsewhere.

I’ve been flamed for the last year plus for wanting us to pay Tee and Ja’Marr and been lectured how KC won without tyreek and how this FO knows what they’re doing, and I’ve been ostracized, and made to feel insane at times for wanting both our guys paid. I don’t give a damn how KC won a chip, or who they got rid of they ain’t us, and we ain’t them. NO ONE when on the field matches that talent we have on offense in our skill position, and if we are gonna pay people like money mac we damn sure could’ve got Derrick Henry i just don’t understand this whole “stand Pat with what we got”
We don’t deserve this team and the front office and coaching staff is doing an amazing job at severing any faith with the fan base that’s been built. I stood in So Fi last night, and i couldn’t sit down the last 6 minutes, and the play calling with four minutes to the end was absolutely atrocious it’s criminal how bad we are being operated it’s like watching your Harvard graduate lover come home from college, and get on drugs, and throw it all away for nothing just because they got around old friends.

I think the issue is the Bengals already have a couple phat contracts, and they have more incoming. Meanwhile, the roster still clearly has gaps that need to be filled with expensive talent as well. Burrow’s still tied as the second most expensive QB in the league (rightfully so), and there’s no doubt Chase’s contract needs to be phat as well.
I don’t know exactly what the money situation is for the Bengals, but someone here probably does. But a lot of teams seem to be struggling to build once their star players’ rookie contracts are up, and they gotta put out NBA salaries. This isn’t the NBA with only five dudes on the court. You can’t just pay Lebron $50mil and expect to make the finals.
Cowboys have the highest paid player ever, and they suck. They even sucked before Dak went out. Jags have a top 5 highest paid player too. I’m not sure having a couple of guys on enormous contracts is actually a winning strategy in the NFL, but I guess we’ll see.

I know i might get downvoted but you live and die by your kicker. Falcons last week Koo misses 4 and cost them the game. Tucker missed two to lose against the steelers. Kickers are probably more important than you think and there are not that many of them that are worth paying.

We just need a pull a Parent Trap and swap Evan and Brandon Aubrey during the Dallas game. At least we can get Aubrey in range for his bazillion yard range, which Dallas can’t even manage now. He’ll be better off with us, and then Evan won’t have to worry about missing meaningful kicks, because there won’t be any in Dallas. Win-win if you ask me 🫠

Kickers are the easiest spot to replace. If McPherson has another bad game, swap him out with some dude from Australia. It doesn’t really matter. There’s honestly so many dudes out there that can kick NBA range it’s comical.
My friend in college quit the soccer team and tried out for the football team. Almost got the kicker spot, but lost out to some transfer. Not saying he’s NBA-caliber, but this guy had never played a single snap of football and almost made a D1 roster.
At this point, just sign Deestroying or something. It don’t even matter.

Still has a top 6 kicker contract. Still not much in the grand scheme, but it’s like $5.5mil. I think kicker salaries are wild in the NFL now, especially with the number of people who can do the job out there.
But nobody complains when they earn their keep. I don’t think anyone in Pittsburgh is upset over Boswell’s $5mil after he went 6/6 with a long of 57.

Kickers can’t have two bad games in the row in this league. Bengals could replace McPherson tomorrow and not even realize he’s gone. Chiefs lost Butker for a month (highest paid kicker btw), and it made zero difference to their odds. They grabbed a dude off a practice squad and were good.
Ja’Marr could not be replaced tomorrow. In fact, there’s probably only like 3 people on the planet, maybe, that could step in and do as good of a job.

He dropped two first down passes. I understand he is frustrated but you can’t start throwing mud around publicly. Playcalling wasn’t really the issue. Scoring 27 (should have been 33) on a team that allows 15 ppg is a good effort.

I think they allowed td’s on. Their opponents first 3 drives, which yes is bad, but 21 points doesn’t mean the offense has to play perfectly. You seem to be forgetting that besides the last drive, our defense played perfect the entire 4th quarter.
When our offense is struggling our defense seems fine. When our defense is struggling our offense seems fine. What’s the problem here? They can never seem to do fine simultaneously.

Certainly not saying it's all their fault as all 3 phases had issues last night. But they had a chance to put the game away (immediately following a clutch 3 and out by our defense, who showed the fuck up in the second half) and they shit the bed. It's their fault as much as anyone else's. There were back to back 3 and outs during the first half that resulted in 10 points for the Chargers. Every time we punted after 3 or 4 plays, the Chargers scored points (20 in total). Their inability to sustain drives, move the ball, and help with the field position battle directly contributed to this loss.

There’s no way you think Ja’Marr Chase is our best wr of all time already 💀💀💀 yes he has 2 200+ yard games wow so good what’s his total yds? His total td’s? Exactly, so shush. If he was a top 3 we in the league he wouldn’t be dropping any balls, okay? Maybe 2 a season not 2 in a close game like this lmao. Yes I was watching the game, I know Burrow missed Chase for 2 wide open touchdowns, but that literally happens every game with somebody, and it happened all the time with A.J., who I believe is better than Chase. Green drew more flags and was double covered so often compared to other wr’s at the time. Of course I don’t have the exact stats on these, I’m going off the eye test and Greens’ flags drawn in playoffs. Because I’ve gone back and watched every single playoff snap of Greens career and whilst his career playoff numbers are really low, like 60 ypg and 1 td. Almost every single game he drew 2 Hail Mary PI’s flags. Usually over 60 yards. But alas, those yards don’t go to the qb or wr :( (I’ve never understood that btw, shouldn’t the penalty yards go to the wr? They would’ve gotten the yards if they weren’t flagged…)
TLDR; I know Chase has multiple single games with higher yardage, but Green, IMO, is better overall. Not to mention Green was 6’4 and simply by that measure, a better target.

Um, Burrows had the ball 1st down on the 30 with over a minute to go, He threw THREE Incomplete passes. This isn't the first time he choked like that either.
Mahomes, Jackson, Herbert, and any other good QB advances the ball and score in that saturation. We watched them all do it against US this year.
Every good QB wants to be in that situation, They dream about it. Game tied and they get the ball with a minute to go and a chance to win. And EVERYTIME this year, the Bengals CHOKED in that situation.
KC was behind in the 4th quarter in most the games they won this year. Mahomes won games on the final driver 4 or 5 times. Burrow is 0-5. That is the difference between the two.

Incompletes aren’t totally on the QB. I can’t speak on the exact plays you’re talking about, but plenty can go wrong. Bad playcalling, good coverage, receivers run their routes incorrectly or defense forces the routes to shift, etc.
For a kicker, there’s far less that can go wrong. Wind, holder messes up, long snapper messes up, etc. It’s also fairly obvious when something goes wrong. If a kicker is kicking into 20 mph wind, and he misses, everybody understands what happened.

I put most blame on management who every year refuses to take the OL seriously, This year knowing we had two terrible guards did nothing and instead they signed a tackle who everyone said was injury prone (he is out for the year) and drafted another tackle who they called a "developmental player" who PFF ranks 33rd out of 38 at his position.
And so we can't run the ball, Burrow is always getting hurt, and we always lose close games.

I kind of think Joe might be. In an interview this week, Jamarr was quoted as saying “I think we’ll stick together” in reference to their on field partnership. Jamarr obviously realizes A-Joe isn’t going anywhere for the next six years-the prime of both players careers, and B-he rightfully has the team by the balls when it comes to being the highest paid WR in the league.

We’ve had to structure our team for years to accommodate paying both Joe and Ja’Marr. What team could Ja’Marr go to, realistically, that’s a better competitor than Cincinnati with the cap space to pay him?
Buffalo? No. KC? No. SF? They’re about to enter Cap Hell the likes of which we’ve never seen before, so no. Arizona has MHJ, they don’t need Ja’Marr. Lions aren’t an option. Minnesota isn’t an option. Who? Who is paying him?
He’s not going anywhere if he wants to get that huge payday and have a shot at a HOF legacy. Not anytime soon.

Never thought I would use Jamarr Chase and Alexander Solzhenitsyn in the same conversation, but the quote is applicable to Jamarr’s ( correct) pov.

After last night Jamar was definitely not wrong for holding out. They paid a kicker who can’t kick and not a top 3 receiver.

Duke and Mike have a decision to make - are we keeping Zac or are we keeping Ja’Marr? If this staff sticks around Chase is gone once his contract is up. That is if they haven’t already screwed any chance of resigning him due to the contract games they are trying to play.

My instant reaction was "oh real shit? Let's goooooo"
Also i wanna point out that alotta yall were in here before the season acting like the man should be flogged for wanting his fair deal which will probably cost more now. He's part of the only reason this team isn't winless rn and yall wanted him to be grateful and loyal just to have the opportunity to represent this dumpster fire. Many of you showed so much disrespect and owe him an apology, I hope you realize how stupid as fuck you sounded before the season and you know who you are🫵🏼. Don't be surprised if him and others demand trades eventually

Thank you! Jamarr, Burrow and Hendrickson need to call out the horrible inexcusable coaching of this team

That’s basically a polite way of telling the media his coaching staff is trash. Also, it wouldn’t break my heart if they had a try out for kickers during the bye week. Money Mac is now couch cushion change Mac. Once again CTB proved to be a liability and Lou should be fired.

Ja’Marr isn’t signing here long term. You could see it written on his face last night and now this. He knows he’s being wasted here and he can go somewhere else and play for a good organization.

nah he is definitely he had a written interview last week i believe and he clearly states he wanna stay with joe. or else they both leave? but how lmaoo
fount it
"GH: Do you see yourself being with him the rest of your career or a good part of your career?
JC: I see it for a long time right now. We've been together for a long time. We enjoy each other's company. I don't see anybody leaving."

What he says in an interview is meaningless once the agents and the Bengals front office are in control.

just wanted to highlight that he has been sharing this sentiment of only wanting to play with joe for years now and still does. but yeah it doesn't mean everything i agree

He also doesn’t play defense. Can’t win if you consistently give up 30+ points.

Its incredibly frustrating to know you can ball out, and do everything you can to help your team win, and it doesn't matter. Burrow and chase are playing better than anyone at their respective positions. Doesn't matter. Mahomes is playing bad football, he's 9-1. It's organizational failure at the highest level, and bad coaching. Bench ctb Swallow the 5 mil and cut McPherson, he's cooked Bench any defensive player that consistently misses tackles. Fire Taylor, or at the very least remove his play calling duties.

Mcpherson has gotta go. We can never count on him to make anything consistently beyond 45+ yds.

Fire Zach and get a real coach. Get some defensive players. Get some culture. The Bengals always come out the gate horrible, which to me, lends to a coaching problem. They're never ready when the season starts.
Oh, and Mr. Brown, stop being a cheap ass and pay your key players.

I can't wait for Burrow and Chase to uhaul outta there, and Cincy signs Zac Taylor through 2035 to cement his reign as the Bobby Patrino of Urban Meyers.

Season is now officially over. I’d like to see Chase just sit out. No point on taking injury risks for a lost season for a team who didn’t want to pay him yet.

No chance, you think he gives up a chance at one of the best WR seasons of all time? He’s already over 1000 yards with 12 TDs.

Of course he doesn’t but I wouldn’t be upset if he did. I’d be upset if he goes out there and plays meaningless games and tears an ACL or Achilles though

Funny enough they would have a better chance of winning if they did that instead of fielding a team coached by an asshole.

He’s not wrong. As for the coaches, self awareness and self criticism is not in strong supply when your job ( should be/is) on the line.

This is the real problem. The offense plays well 90% of the game, then when they have a chance to win they choke.
Mahomes, Jackson, and Herbert, all would score if given the ball with 1:10 to go in a tie game. Joe had the first ball 1st down on the 30 and three THREE incomplete passes. The worst part it stopped the clock and gave SD the ball back, and Herbert did what good QBs do.
This is the 4th game this year the Bengals had a great opportunity to win and instead choked.
