The Bengals linebackers with their injuries is the weakest part of this team imo. They were nowhere to be found in coverage and couldnt stop the run. Just bad.
Yeah, we need Burfict and Preston back obviously.

Understanding game situation, down and distance, plays breaking down and improvising is beyond his football awareness right now.
Will the game slow down for him ??
It should slow down for him, this happens with young players i just wish he would get it together sooner rather than later.
Still have very high hopes for the man, but there are no excuses for quitting on routes while the other WR is giving it all in
Boyd. Very impressed with Boyd and honestly didn't expect him to be THIS good. Great news while having a tough loss.

It's hard for me to jump on a guy with very little experience and with little opportunity so far. For me he is the 5th best option on a team that is loaded with options on offense. All he he needs is one or two plays a game to make an impact for us.
I agree, if teams act like some of the fans and think he is a none factor he will make them pay.
I just want him to make teams pay regardless if they even don't forget about him. Think this will happen eventually.
Just need patience but i guess after this game it is starting to wear thin with many understandably.
He was a top 10 pick in the first round. Need him to start showing up and making those big plays for us.
Next man up when a great player like AJ Green goes down.

Most of tis is common problems for young receivers. I mention Chad because he and TJ had trouble early on adjusting to their reads and catching with their hands as opposed to their body. It's great to put him in and let him learn. The kid is going to end up being a great receiver and it's funny people are panicking.
True, pretty much every Receiver not named AJ Green and Julio Jones struggle early even if they are a top 10 pick.
Takes time and there are a lot of busts no matter where they are drafted.
Watching Doctson who i wanted is a tell tale sign. He hasn't done more than Boyd in his career so far...

Just quit it. Cannot stand this type of talk, Ross is nothing like Jerome Simpson....
Completely different people in every way. Ross is a classy player and he is smart. Needs some time to gain confidence,
get the rawness out of his game and have the game slow down for him is all. Just a matter of time and i bet there will
be a lot of people on here eating a good helping of crow, including you Chezaugie.
