Welcome To Hell: Joe Burrow And Ja'Marr Chase Both Are Now Talking About How Good They Have Been, Don't Understand How The Bengals Are 4-6

I know everyone is yelling about the refs from the last drive, because that's what always happens. Should there have been a call on the 2point conversion? Of course, but that's not why the Bengals lost. The Bengals lost because they aren't a good team. They lost because they blew a double-digit lead with a fumble, the worst tackling known to man and their defense blows. Now it's starting to leak out a bit. 

I don't blame Burrow and Chase for saying anything like this. They should be pissed off. Burrow takes a beating every game because of the offensive line. Chase is just trying to get touchdowns and his agent is ready to make money. 

At some point we have to just talk about the Bengals for who they are. A 4-6 team with wins over the Raiders, Giants, Browns and Panthers. Can they make the playoffs? Sure. They probably gotta get to 9 wins at least for a chance. But it's gotta be jarring for the Bengals front office, coaching staff to hear this sort of stuff. Your star players are out here basically being like yeah I don't understand how everyone else on the roster isn't showing up and it all sucks.

This is exactly why the Bengals were right to go for 2 last night. You think that defense was gonna do shit in OT if the Ravens won the coin flip? You had Burrow to get 2 yards, he didn't and the Bengals lost. But it's 100% the right call. Again, should have had another chance, but that's not why the Bengals lost. Burrow and Chase should be able to scream at Zac Taylor, the defense, anyone they want to. It's a minor miracle the Bengals are even in games with what they do on defense.
