It’s not getting any better, folks.
After Zac Taylor made the controversial move to give Ryan Finley his first career start, a contingent of fans and pundits were cautiously-optimistic that a spark would ignite with the Bengals. Unfortunately, a lot of the same errors from the entire team were on display in Baltimore’s 49-13 dismantling of Cincinnati.
There were a couple of flashes from Finley that showed he may be able to make a few more plays than his predecessor, but overall, this 2019 Bengals team is a catastrophe. I mean, before Finley could blink and after running only three offensive plays, the first quarter was all but evaporated with the rookie signal-caller staring into a 14-0 hole.
