Hello, everyone. I am Matt Williamson, at Williamson NFL.

And I want to introduce you to the Cincinnati Bengals on this podcast.

Really weird year for them.

They never seem to learn.

They always start the season under this coaching staff

really slow, and I very much believe it's because they don't do anything in the preseason.

And this year is a perfect example. They dug themselves a brutal hole. They're four and seven

and have a lot of work to do to even be playoff relevant.

And I don't think they can get back to that level.

I mean, especially if they lose this game.

So they already have five conference losses.

And I don't think that the Bengals can win the North.

So the first highbreakers conference losses for wildcard games, if the Steelers hand

them another, it could be over for Cincinnati, which that would be great, but it also

could be great on a different level in that the Bengals come here the last game of the season.

And if you can eliminate them, you know, will they have much to

play for? You know what I mean? Week 18, all Burroughs' ailments and Higgins contracts and things

like that, will they really be super motivated or have everyone active? Who knows? You know, but I think

that's a possibility.

So here's what's kind of happened with this team.

It's first of all, I don't think it's a great coaching staff, and I don't think it's a great organization.

But they were very fortunate to be the worst team in the league the year that Joe Burrow came out.
