    Is there any way we can get the Bengals moved to London? I know the NFL would love to expand internationally.

    I wish. However, there is no way the bungles will leave - the stadium lease is too good for them to leave Cincinnati. Unfortunately, the bungles can (and will) extend the deal to 2036.

    Dalton is average. But he is the pretty far down the list in terms of the Bungs’ issues. Loved Bosa planting the flag after tackling Mayfield. I’m a Luke warm Buckeye football fan, but Mayfield planting the flag at the Horseshoe...well, he had that coming.
    You don't pass on franchise QBs especially when the current one's contract is up in 2020. Draft Tua or Herbert and build around him.

    You see what you wrote, right? You have to know that statement alone means the Bengals will take any player other than the one the "fans" want
    We've come a long way since my bench seat at the Fieldhouse!

    Well there could be the free agent route to hold them off for a year or two?

    If the Bengals didn't have so many needs..........literally every position needs an upgrade except RB and WR.

    Trade AJ, Geno, Dunlap...all of them. Compile picks. Now they won't hit on any of those picks but they sure as shit aren't signing anyone in free agency. Keeping these older guys and paying them a good chunk of change while the team sucks gets everyone no where.

    If you upgrade everything else first you are stuck in mediocrity and have a lower chance of finding a franchise QB. Top half of first round is where they are found with a few exceptions obviously. Suck for a few years, accrue draft picks and cap space.

    I respect everyone’s opinions and I’m clearly in the minority here. But I think the path to success is drafting all the major needs first. Oline, LB’s, secondary etc.

    I’m not a big football guy, so I’m probably wrong. But I think the game is won in the trenches and with a strong defense. Dilfer won a Super Bowl. I realize that’s an outlier...but the Colts have drafted Oline (wisely) and they just pushed the Chiefs up and down the field with Jacoby Brissett at QB and a stout defense.

    Like I said, I’m likely wrong. But I’m not sure getting Tua, Hurts or the kid from Oregon would do much if they are running for their lives with an atrocious offensive line and a Swiss cheese defense.

    Franchise quarterback? Brady was drafted in the 6th round I think.

    I'd trade the front office, and start from there.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    Actually there is a way according to a recent Enquirer article. Apparently the County is due to pay for a bunch is upgrades in a couple years. It could theoretically be put on the ballot by petition then voted down, which would then give the Bungholes a way out.

    Instead of sending them to London, how about Kabul?
