Congrats to Joe Mixon Fed Ex Ground Player of the Week

Lol Taylor definitely deserved it!

Wow over Taylor.

Yeah, I guess Mixon was close to 5 touchdowns.. good game though. He kept at it even though there wasn’t much in terms of running lanes until late in the game.

Taylor is putting himself into the MVP conversation

200+ yards, 5 TDs, and Taylor didn't win... lol... fan voted awards aren't great. I can never bring myself to vote for people who don't deserve the awards even if they're on one of my teams. If it's close, then sure, maybe fandom gives you that little edge for a vote. But when it's not even close? There's guys out there voting for Yadier Molina to be an MLB All Star in 2010 while he was hitting .223/.301/.294 and I literally can't imagine how they can bring themselves to do that.

Shame on Colts fans. That’s all I have to say.

Dude no shit. Except shame on every fan that isn't a Bengals fan - every non-homer should've absolutely voted for Taylor.

**** I voted for Taylor (once, then Mixon twice).

Agree with others that Taylor deserved it, surprised. Mixon DID have a damn good game but Taylor's was the best game
by a RB this season so far and doubt anyone puts up 5 TD's in a game again this season.

Colts fans just aren’t as committed to their team as Bengals fans.

I only vote for our guys if they're deserving. It's a matter of principle. Otherwise, the awards would always just go to the biggest fanbases. Of course, that doesn't stop most people, and that's why anything that involves fan voting is worthless.

Love our fans and all I wanna say is thank you ❤️✊? https://t.co/cq0OCYHjiq

Same. But if our guy deserves it he deserves it. Taylor deserved it clearly this week.

Egregious, isn’t it? But hey, congrats to Mixon I suppose.

Saw a guy on another message board say Bengals fans don’t support their team and are pathetic…and then we do this. Lol congrats to Mixon.

As it should be.

This is more of a "which fanbase has the most community activity" or "which fanbase has the most free time" then an actual indication of which player was actually the best player any given week.

Happy for Joe, cause he works hard and gets grief from some fans around here that isn't deserved but to have him win it over a guy that did something as rare as a 5 TD game is just so terrible.

Negative Nancys can kick rocks.

It's not like we're electing the next Pope. It's a made up award and fans vote for their favorites. Unlike some here I'm glad our fanbase represents so well.

I hope a Bengal wins every time he's nominated.

Why does everything on here have to devolve into "positive vs negative"?

It's not about me being negative, so much as wanting the award to actually mean something when our guys get it.

There's no positive v. negative.

The awards do mean something when our guys get it. They have to be among the league's best in that week to get nominated.

Personally I think all talk about voting for other players should be moved to "Around The NFL". This is Jungle Noise; it's all about the Bengals
