The most painful thing about the Cincinnati Bengals' season so far isn't Joe Burrow's tortured calf muscle. It's everything else that appears off.
Make no mistake, the restriction being suffered by star quarterback Burrow is at the root of much of what's falling apart for the Bengals, who slipped deeper into the mire on Sunday with a 27-3 walloping at the hands of the Tennessee Titans.
Neither Burrow nor his right lower leg should shoulder the entirety of the blame, but it has still been strikingly remarkable to see how limited his effectiveness has been, especially when compared to how things have gone since the start of his NFL career. Next week brings a chance to start a revival, on the road against the Arizona Cardinals, but looming large on the horizon is a late-October/early-November stretch that will see clashes with the San Francisco 49ers, the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens in the space of four weeks. Things need to get better, and quickly.
The repercussions are still being felt, and it is clear that a whole different vibe was set in motion that day. The problems are manifold, and they are compounding. No part of the Cincinnati overall game has much in common with the end of last season.strugglingto find his peak form and Ja'Marr Chase severely displeased, offering a postgame soundbite that left some unclarity as to what, or who, he was mad at."I'm open," Chase said,"I'm always open.
The Bengals get a little more leeway than other teams, because of recent history. Last season, don't forget, began 4-4 before a relentless run that teased a return to the Super Bowl. The previous year, when Cincinnati did reach the biggest game of all, began 5-4.The problems here don't have the look or feel of teething troubles, and nor do they look confined to the simple need to get Burrow back to full health.
