On the Bleav in Bengals, hosts Solomon Wilcots and Bengals insider Charlie Goldsmith analyze the Bengals' 30-17 loss to the Detroit Lions. They address Jake Browning's struggles with turnovers, inconsistent decision-making, and the lack of balance in the offense. The discussion includes ongoing issues with the offensive line regarding both protection and run blocking, as well as the failed offseason roster moves and the team's over-reliance on Joe Burrow. The episode concludes with a mailbag question about whether preseason expectations for the Bengals were set too high, and whether blame should be assigned to coaching, ownership, or player development. They also preview the upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers, emphasizing the challenges posed by Micah Parsons and a tough Packers defense.
