Bengals closing in on the #1 pick

So we've gotten destroyed in every game this season and all of a sudden we are going to win one to give the Bengals the first pick? If John Fox screws us in that fashion I will be pissed. Theres no point in winning any game this season...

The Bengals also have the Browns, who just lost to the Buffalo Bills. I'm going to go ahead and say that the Bengals can beat the Browns. Arizona isn't a TERRIBLE team. Considering we gave up a 14 point lead to the Seahawks last year I'd say there is very little chance we win another game this season. We had about as good a chance as we've had all season last week against Seattle.

i dont see how they would get #1 pick if they lose out and we only beat Arizona. Thats bs. They beat us early in season, we should get it.

Bengals have a tough finish. I don't see them winning a game.

We could beat AZ. The run game has been very good lately.....

Agreed. I am unfamiliar with the breakdown as well. I understand it's supposed to be dependent on strength of schedule, but I feel like a higher priority tie breaker should include head-to-head matchups?

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
