The Cincinnati Bengals are easy to bash right now.
They are, after all, the team wasting an MVP-like season from Joe Burrow and a Triple Crown effort from Ja’Marr Chase, plus a stunning season from Trey Hendrickson.
At 5-8, and the playoffs extremely unrealistic, everyone seems to be hopping on the criticism train right now, including Colin Cowherd, on a recent episode of his podcast.
“These are all-time greats but they are stuck in a shaky organization that frankly has suboptimal ownership and a front office,” Cowherd said. “They don’t take any risks.”
This would, at least to some degree, partially explain why Burrow has seemingly put very public pressure on the Bengals front office to get a deal with Tee Higgins done.
Given the season so far, only big changes to the coaching staff and roster, if not how the team does business, will quiet some of these criticisms this offseason.
