Simply offering a different perspective - being the obvious difference in the edited clip and the real-time clip. There are no 'pitchforks' here either. Just an opinion on a Bengals related subject.

He fell in the exact direction momentum was taking him. He also landed on a broken wrist as he fell. The real-time video clearly shows there was no intent.

If you look at the whole clip, instead of the shortened one, you can clearly see that Trey falls after contact with the Bills lineman, lands on his broken wrist, then pulls his legs up to try to avoid contact with Allen. It's literally the opposite of a dirty play. If I thought it was, there's no shot I would defend it.

Zac went to the hospital as well. I think he and McDermott are both class acts.

Will do.

Our fan bases may have the best relationship in all of sports. It's very unfortunate that we have to share this current experience, but one thing's for sure...BillsMafia has the complete support of WhoDeyNation during this time, with what you guys are dealing with. Just hoping that any upcoming news on Damar is positive and provides hope for a full recovery.

Just wanted to stop in and share my best wishes - on behalf of myself and The Bengals Board - for Damar and his family. My heart goes out to them...as well as his coaches, teammates and Bills fans everywhere. It was an absolutely heartbreaking thing to witness, and I hope there is some positive news coming at some point soon.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Hopefully, Glenn and Brown have a great season for us, and you guys can land your QB in the draft and get some quality production out of McCarron as well. Best of luck in the draft and the 2018 season.

That's very true - that game should have ended in a victory - but AJ (and the offense) also played very poorly for 3 1/2 quarters. To his credit though, he never really looked rattled and rebounded to come through in a late game pressure situation.

Yeah, 2-1 in regular season, 0-1 in postseason.

Dalton is an entrenched starter who took the Bengals to the playoffs 5 straight years, has a winning record overal and also signed a very team friendly deal. Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis do not like QB controversy and while Andy certainly has his flaws and shortcomings, they have both seemed very content with his production and growth as a QB. For those reasons, Andy's job has never really been contended or in danger. McCarron was going to be the backup as long as Andy was under contract. In the handful of starts that McCarron had, he showed some flashes - and displayed confidence and swagger - but he also had his struggles as well. It's hard to truly evaluate him until he gets some extended playing time and a little more experience. One thing he definitely has to work on is getting the ball out quicker and being a bit more decisive with his reads.

It's a condition caused by 27 years without a playoff win.

I'm curious to see how he performs if he indeed starts the season. Very small sample size so far, with mixed results.

How much of an opportunity do you guys envision McCarron being given here in Buffalo?
