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?

    • Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.
    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
