Message: Did the Bengals not learn anything from last season? Outscoring the other team isn't a strategy for sustaining success and making the playoffs. After the first two preseason games, this defense might be worse than last year. How is that possible?
Reply: Lots to unpack here, but let's begin with this: It's time to sound the alarms on the Bengals' defense.
It hasn't been able to do the most fundamental thing in the preseason: stop the run.

Sports Media Legend RIPS Bengals For One Key Reason Entering 2025 Season
CINCINNATI — ESPN's Stephen A. Smith hasn't pulled any punches towards the Bengals this offseason, and that continued on Wednesday. He emphatically thinks the team wasting Joe Burrow's prime years.
The team has failed to make the playoffs each of the past two seasons, going 9-8 in both. Burrow did suffer a season-ending injury in the middle of the 2023 campaign to bring those win tallies down.
"You're damn right they are," Smith said on ESPN's First Take about Burrow's prime getting wasted. "In 2021, when they went to the Super Bowl, they were a middle-of-the-road defense. They were like 17th in scoring, 18th in yards allowed. Let's look at them now. I mean, when you look at them now, they're putrid to say the least, 26th-ranked scoring defense, 31st in total defense. When you just look at them right now, over the last two seasons, it's abysmal. And in the meantime, since 2021 these are the numbers on Joe Burrow, completion percentage: number one in the league, pass yards per game: number one in the league, touchdown passes: third behind Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, passer rating: second only to Brock Purdy and postseason wins: five, tied for third behind Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. That's it.
