Dave Lapham is a former player, a long-time broadcaster, and—best of all—a full-time Bengals fan. Just like the rest of us.

The troubled offensive line wasn’t overhauled as anticipated, while the defense is emerging as a team strength. And all eyes stayed glued on Joe Burrow as he rehabbed his surgically repaired knee.

The team picked arguably the best college players at three different positions while trading down to secure more picks. Not bad at all.

The Bengals need a difference-making receiver and offensive tackle, and they'll likely be choosing between Ja'Marr Chase and Penei Sewell in tonight's first round. Here are the pros and cons of both, and a prediction.

If the Bengals are going to take a leap forward, they need to re-sign Carl Lawson, trade down in the NFL draft, and bring in a lot of new talent.

Head coach Zac Taylor completes a second straight disastrous year, and of course the franchise is bringing him back, with Joe Burrow's blessing.

Two straight Bengals wins have the draft experts disappointed but the real fans excited. Wait until next year, once again.

Monday night’s unexpected Bengals win turned the national TV spotlight to another team’s ineffective quarterback, poor execution, and lack of poise.

The Cincinnati Bengals welcomed back old friend Andy Dalton by dropping the ball and gift-wrapping the game to the Dallas Cowboys.

Neither the refs nor the national media cut the Bengals any slack in their lackluster 19-7 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
