Mr. WEO

I agree with the bolded...but it can't come at the price of pass protecting the best QB in the NFL. This isn't the Eagles, with a mediocre, gun shy passer behind center that their OC has to plan around. This O-line has its ride or die supporters here, but guy like Brown and McGovern and Torrence, Van Dermark and Sedrick VPG are just warm bodies looking to get Josh killed. Dawkins is really good sometimes or he sucks, like last night.

An L against a fact free argument? Who would?

turns out Kromer is a bum the second time around too

suddenly it doesn’t sound so crazy…

Said it many times before---this O-line sucks. One half decent player the rest slow and without significant skill.

fixed it for you

Is Gruden's ceiling Vince Lombardy?

No you don't get it. As I've stated a few times now, Neither one, despite scoring a ton of points, can overcome the worst Defense in the NFL. I didn't think it was that tricky...

What would their record be with "crash and injured". Flacco to this point? They are averaging 29 ppg even with that stinker of his last week.

as HC??

The brain trust at work....

maybe you are responding to a thread from 8-9 years ago?

lol he had a bad game. the point is he could be at least 4-1 if the Bengals had an NFL caliber Defense. Burrow would have had no different outcome had he not been injured. He was no better in Week 1 than Flacco last week. The Bengals record would be the same with Burrow to this point.

Oh i agree. You have to be really pretty stupid to get caught, hence this is a bad signing.

You're assumption is that all NFL players, simply by virtue of playing in the league, are all of superior talent. Compared to the rest of the population this is obviously true. Otherwise it clearly makes no sense. There countless examples of "NFL bad" players who have bounced around the league, "getting playing time". That the average player only lasts 3 years in the league also exposes your take as intuitively wrong.

the guy is just explaining the sideline sheet to people who don't know what it is........

Flacco isn't the Bengals problem--he's playing well. Against the Bears and the Jets, the Bengals put up 80 points, and lost. Not sure what point your are making with this post.

Just gotta start investing more draft capital in the Defense I guess....

How many here, sane or not, believed the Fins could beat the Bills? And Denver isn't Miami (Chiefs aren't the Bills right now either)--they are one of the hottest teams in the NFL, having won 7 in a row before the Chiefs game. This KC loss was hardly shocking. Nothing like Bills/Fins.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5206906/ small study but looked specifially at weight lifters: 22% of steroid users with at least 1 lifetime tendon rupture vs 6% non users.

steroid use has a long known association with severe tendon injuries in athletes. maybe he just shouldn't have taken them if he wanted to out there

don't shoot the messenger..

Dane Jackson and Alex Austin are not remotely any good.

wow! twice in one week?!

Poyer has always racked up tackles---often after getting plowed past the 1st down marker. He's getting smoked continuously.
