WOW

5 straight division championships before this year, and a bad INT call away from being in the AFC Final

27 teams would love to suck this bad
This is what I was thinking. If the receiver is called down, the Bills are in FG range and likely win the game and go to the conference championship. Since the call wasn't made that way they fire the coach?

I think it had a lot to do with this record and the management finally got fed up:

2025: Lost Divisional Round (Had 4Q lead)
2024: Lost Conference Championship (Had 4Q lead)
2023: Lost Divisional Round (Had 4Q lead)
2022: Lost Divisional Round (lost by 17 pts at home)
2021: Lost Divisional Round (Had 4Q lead)

A defensive coach whose defense gives up too many playoff points.

They just need a “new voice” I guess

But they promoted Beane who is pretty clearly the bigger problem

Well, I’ve noticed about Burrow. Obviously, he’s really good but he can’t get away from traffic when he first came in the league. He seems like he’s easy to sack now which hurts his effectiveness.
Burrow probably the best quarterback moving within the pocket

Problem is for a lot his career he doesn’t have any time to

Burrow is actually pretty mobile

And the offensive line is at least starting to improve. They’re gonna have a pretty elite offense next year. Not sure they can fix the defense enough to be a contender again

Though Bengals are 10-3 last 13 Burrow starts despite the defense
