Anybody else catching some Saints flashbacks from this Bengals team?

No, not some of the cool flashbacks like 2006. Or 2009 - 2011. Or 2013. Or 2017 -2020.

You know the ones I'm talking about. 7-9, 7-9 and more 7-9.

They can go up and down the field on anybody, but a QB wearing 9 has to play near-perfect just for the possibility of a win.

It's very similar, except by that point post Bountygate hoax narrative nobody in the media felt any empathy for Brees the way they do for Burrow.

Don't get me wrong, I like Burrow. Just noticing the "OMG can you believe how the rest of the Bengals team is squandering Burrow!" when those years of peak Brees at 7-9 were exactly the same and there was none of that. Sean Payton's ALL TIME LEAGE WORST defenses nullified any and all offensive genius.
