Hendrickson and Chase are both deserving of their spots in the Pro Bowl

Think Hilton and Reader had Pro Bowl level seasons too, but SCB and NT and injuries make it tough

Need more players at this level in 2024. Burrow being healthy obviously makes a huge difference there.

Wondering if the Bengals are spending too much on average vets

They'll get cap surplus value in 2024 with rookie deals, Hendrickson, Hilton, and Burrow (for the last time)

They're also paying for a bunch of average and not paying for very many Pro Bowl+ level guys

There are also some lessons I wish they'd take from the Ravens and (gulp) Browns approaches to team building lately

But that's a big topic for another time (soon™)

We will talk about the Bengals' upcoming game against the Browns' backups

But with the calendar turning over, playoff contention officially done, and 16 games of evidence, I think the big offseason questions are fair game for those of us (me) planning for the next 2 months!

Offseason topics - starting a list that will get longer
- Own FA decisions: Higgins, Reader, Williams, Boyd, Awuzie
- Improving the run game (RB? OL personnel? Coaching?)
- Offensive scheme evolution around Burrow
- Fixing the D (Renovate the DL, CB depth?)

Alas.

The ride with Browning was fun. The 'what-if Burrow was healthy?' game will be awful.

The AFC is not the juggernaut it appeared to be. Despite the defensive issues, it's easy to imagine how different things would have been with Burrow.

Browning did well to convert the 4th down

But over and over, guys just aren't open when he expects them to be and he's holding the ball

Now Chris Jones just whips the LG

4 sacks in 5 plays

Alex Cappa walking off the field unable to open his eye, Cody Ford in at LG

Wonder how Cappa got poked in the eye, that's against the rules!

All of this might not matter because the Steelers just beat the Seahawks and probably get to play the Ravens' backups next week.

We've seen a lot of terrible calls this year. That's one of the most objectively incorrect. He underthrew Mixon.

Feels like no one has been open since the 75 yard drive

That's an insane grounding call????? There's a receiver literally right there and he didn't get it to him?

Unbelievably, another field goal for the Chiefs. The bend-don't-break approach would be working if the offense could finish a drive after scoring on their first 3

Punting after getting to midfield, the 4th down failure, and 3rd and long regression catching up to them
