You can't be serious with this??? The Bengals havent even made the playoffs the last 2 years. I feel like I'm in an alternate universe

Have you watched the Bengals defense? Are there any Copper Dejeans? Jalen Carters? Zach Bauns? You're better than this. Let me know when Cincy even makes a wild card again

Considering the Bengals have done diddly poo in spite of their offensive prowess for several years running, I think I'm in a pretty good position to say their decisions are questionable

Just to be clear, you are endorsing a strategy where you pay top dollar to both your number one and number two wide receiver. Are you Jeremy White?

If it costs them Trey Hendrickson, then yes it was a stupid move. He is the only meaningful player on their wholly inadequate defense. The Bengals have zero chance of winning a Super Bowl pushing all their chips on the offensive side of the ball.

Signing Tee Higgins was such an asinine move. An absurd failure in roster construction and salary allocation

This will be the the definition of a meaningless football game. But I can't wait for the media to talk about it constantly! My boss is a Steelers guy and was trashing the idea of Rodgers all offseason. Now that he signed, he rationalized that they need to take advantage of their Super Bowl window while Watt/Heyward et al are still around. Pittsburgh fans and their organization are completely delusional

Phil Hansen

It's been four years since Rodgers was a relevant quarterback and he's 41 on a mediocre Steelers team lol

That's a pretty decent contract. Bateman has shown definite improvement and seems to be a player on the rise

I've rewatched all of the games that you listed. Yes, I am a masochist

I agree but it also feels like the regular season Chiefs operate differently than the postseason version. For instance, there is no way in hell Spagnuolo is not spying Allen on the 4th down TD play if the game had occurred in January.

Imagine drafting this guy with the #4 overall pick

What's wrong with Cheektovegas?

Wow I would give my left nut just to have one season end with the Buffalo Bills as Super Bowl Champions. I'd be fully content that it never happens again. Just one before before I die

I'm getting Shawne Merriman vibes

I don't think you're understanding my usage of the word overhyped. I've tried to explain, but my efforts have failed it appears. Speaking of dying on a hill, are you going to revisit this if Harrison is outperformed again by his fellow classmates this year? And might I then need to define the word outperformed as well? Name dropping Harrison's qb is not an argument in his favor if you compare him to the other rookies' QB situations

What is Netflix Sirens?

This is not incorrect in any way. Harrison was great at OSU. But let's not act like he doesn't have holes in his game. He is nowhere near the complete prospect that was sold. Receiver is perhaps the easiest position in the modern NFL to have a big impact as a rookie, and Harrison lagged behind many of his contemporaries that were picked later than him. If he doesn't take a big step forward MHJ should rightfully start to draw Kyle Pitts level of scrutiny.

Never said he was a bust. That would be a truly stupid thing to say after one year. I said he was overhyped. And thankfully I did not draft him in fantasy, although it kind of reinforces my point. He was projected unanimously to be a top 5 WR by every fantasy analyst lol. Why? Because there was an insane amount of hype surrounding him

Now look at Malik Nabers 109/1204/7 line with the illustrious trio of Daniel Jones/Drew Lock/Tommy DeVito at QB. Or Brian Thomas Jr's 87/1282/10 with a quarterback in Trevor Lawrence who has been at least as disappointing as a former No. 1 overall pick as Murray.

Care to address my points and tell me why I am wrong? You didn't refute anything. Joke all you want but Harrison was a non factor an alarming amount of the time last year for the Cardinals. That should not happen to a supposedly dominant, can't miss prospect.

He was the definition of overhyped. All I heard for a year is that the guy was going to step right in and dominate from day one because he was a "generational" talent as you put it. Not that his dad's name had anything to do with it. Then I watch him struggle to consistently make an impact while other rookies produced immediately. As it stands he will be lucky to be the 3rd best WR in his class. And if you want to make the argument that Kyler is holding him back, how come BTJ and Nabers were far more impactful with equally if not worse QB situations (especially in the Giants case)? Harrison may well turn out to be an outstanding receiver, but last year's WR class could easily be like 2014 where ultimately many players who turned out to be better were drafted after the consensus top guy.

One of the most overhyped prospects to come out in recent years imo

Agreed. He was a big part of that drought breaking season. I believe Gaines only played 10-12 games, but he was above average when on the field.
