Allen2Moulds

Man! I really hope Bosa and Brown can go this week. Let me start by saying that I'm not a doctor, but I read this somewhere a long time ago about muscle strains. Generally speaking, a minor hammy pull takes about 7-10 days to recover, and the more severe variety takes about 4 weeks. That's why we see most guys miss 1 game or 3-4 games, depending on the schedule. For Kincaid it was the more severe one, and he missed 3 games, gave him about 4 weeks to recover. That being said, hopefully Joey's is in the 7–10-day variety, although McDermott previously categorized him as week to week, which made me think he would be out 3-4 games. I'm hoping that him already being a limited participant, means it indeed was the minor of the 2. Fingers crossed.

And the Bengals playoff odds all but died today. For all the ups and downs this year, Allen is 3-0 against Mahomes, Burrow and Lamar this year.

Criminal.....Bengals said we need you, *uck your brain.

Wow....this soft zone coverage is painful to watch.

I think this deserves context. Prior to the wrist injury, he was consistently getting push/pressures. If you recall, he had a forced fumble in 3 straight games. This past week, he was playing with a much smaller brace, and looked a lot better. That's what makes the hammy injury that much more annoying.

This dude is made of glass. Has more injuries than games played.

The Bosa injury is by far the biggest bummer for this weeks game, but honestly, I'm at the point, where I no longer care. We have a bunch of key guys, that I rather preserve for the playoffs, Bosa being one of them. This hammy injury might be a blessing in disguise, as it will allow time for the wrist to heal. Not sure what difference it makes if we end up as the 5 or the 7 seed.

I was a big Bernard fan last year, and agreed with the extension. That being said, I don't think the Sahq vs. Bernard thing is even debatable. I understand the injury argument, but that's part of the issue with him. He's undersized, and is constantly banged up. We also can not make the dline excuse for him, because Shaq has performed well behind that same dline. The MLB is the QB of the defense, and right now Shaq is the superior athlete/QB.

Ugh.....I hate to even have this thought, but I'm jealous of how big and physical NE is. Vrabel is building what he had in TN, except that he has Maye.

Wow.......Koo needs to pull a Vontae Davis and retire at the half.

And over before it ever started.

He got handsy a bit early, on a couple of occasions. Watched the game with my son, and we kept giving each other the big eye look, just waiting for a flag. That being said, Tre has been a lot better the last few games. I think early on in the season, he was not fully healthy and was a serious liability. He's at least been solid.

The entire defense has performed better with Shaq running the defense. He's been a visible force every game He's played.

Almost impossible to pass when teams know where your going, and you lack talent at WR. Brady and Beane are killing us.

I can't give Brady credit for the running game. To me, that's all Kromer. He's the difference maker their and our most valuable coach.
