    I agree you keep this not being a controversy by allowing taylor 3 weeks off and pressure on EJ to perform against a bottom 10 D with a banged up lineup....If we lose they will say we need our starters healthy if we win they say we knew we could win this game with our guys we always had faith....you put Tyrod in and he blows it now people open the flood gates and the leash gets shorter....

    What makes Tyrod Taylor special is he has the ability to make a big play happen with his feet.......he has a lower leg injury

     

    I want a 100 percent TT for the stretch run of the season.....play EJ Manuel against the jags

     

    If our D cant slow down the jags....then all of this is a moot point anyway.

  2. Will Tyrod get a pass this week when we suck out against the Jags...? People will say he had no talent to work with....others will say bring back EJ....Bengals D is a top 5 this year...EJ played second half with woods, moore, hogan, clay and shady.... Tyrod will have the same group this week against a terrible defense...I think its scary for tyrod not to perform with that group on a higher level or its opens the questions to who is the starter especailly against a weak D like the Jags... EJ had 4 practices with the #1's I think he did what we was suppose to do...keep them close and have the D give him chances to win, unfortunately they didnt.

    Unless TT is 100 percent I vote to keep EJ in the lineup......

  3. Our offensive units are not the problem!

     

    Rex has the most offensive talent he's probably ever had. He has playmakers. Even with injuries, the offense has been putting up points most of the time. His defense is the problem, and that's solely his problem.

    And its a little early to be calling for his head when Rex has historically had some pretty good defenses. Lets see if he gets it worked out.

     

    Not like there is a choice anyway....he isnt going anywhere

  4. At 3-3 I think it is premature for ALL of this talk

     

    My prediction for this year was 10-6 because our GM has done a wonderful job buying the groceries but we do in fact have all new coaches.....it takes some time.

     

    How many top players are injured?

     

    Look....I get that people are worried because the strength of our schedule is yet to come.....but lets not automatically assume these are losses....this team has not come close to playing its best ball yet.

     

    R.E.L.A.X.

  5. Several reasons, one of them appearing to be Reeeeeeeeeeeeeex.

    We are 3-3

     

    And while we are sucking at home we are in fact winning on the road

     

    Look....I get why people are upset but can we wait to see what the team looks like when its top offensive threats are not injured?

     

    And yes....there were issues going on with the jets for the last 2 years....the GM and Rex were butting heads and Rex was not getting the players he asked for.

     

    Its just too early for this.

     

    I will say one other thing another problem that this team has is they want to up and fire everybody when they dont get the immediate results they want.....over the years there have been SEVERAL conversations in Cinci that looked a lot like this.

     

    Look where they are now. Health is a wonderful thing

    Absolutely. EJ has been on a rampage this season with the torrent of injuries he's caused - and the throw to Watkin that broke his ankle is uncalled for and certainly not the sign of a team player.

    I am not going to say that EJ hurt Sammy with that throw...I think that is a little over the top

     

    but

     

    The way EJ throws behind and low to his receivers CONSTANTLY is maddening....just maddening

  7. Would it be fair to compare our injuries to the Steelers then? I think they've had a few, and to Pro Bowl/Hall of Fame type guys. Didn't set them back at all ...

    Lets try to keep this in context Reich

     

    We are talking about this particular game...and how we are hurting at several key positions and the undefeated Bengals are hurting at none.

  8. Sure I wanted to win

     

    but

     

    WHen your team takes on as many injuries as this team has at key spots......why SHOULD we expect to beat a undefeated team?

     

    Are there things Im not happy about.....sure!

     

    - Why are we passing on 3rd and 3 like EVERY time.....if you dont want to run shady on a tough run......have Boom Herrod do the dive....its THREE yards

     

    - But

     

    - Losing Aaron Williams is killing us.....because both Rambo and D. WIlliams are NOT GOOD ENOUGH

     

    - There was a point in this game where we were missing Watkins, Goodwin, Harvin.....that is like 2 of our top 3 wideouts

     

    Until the team has some sort of semblence of having key players on the field......hard to evaluate this team.

     

    I cannot help but feel Tyrod would have found a way to win this game IF he was healthy.
