Just not realistic at this point. I’m no soccer guy but I know it would be a near miracle for him to go another 12-13 games without giving up a goal.

Also Watt is old and has not played in a while but they would have to trade for him because the Cards still have his rights.

It’s a fun off-season story but not very realistic - would the Bengals even want him (guessing he would cost almost nothing in salary) and what would they even want to give up for him?

Was posted before. Just media blurb.

There are 12 scheduled matches left unless they end up in the post-season. They only go to the post season if they finish 3rd - 6th in their league though. If you finish 1st or 2nd you are automatically promoted to the Championship league and don't play more games.

Cincinnati, that was a fun ride.

Hope you enjoyed getting to know a bit about Burnley & our squad.

What an unbelievable run for Traff & the boys. An improbable bond formed from across the pond. Bengals fans are welcome on Turf Moor any time.

As for me:
A feast & a drink await. https://t.co/x6902rskxV

I would be a complete farce and the bengals would be laugingstocks.  He has not played in 2 years, and would be utterly useless. 

No one took it seriously, because the bengals are actually trying to win.  Not create the Savannah Bananas or Globtrotters.

Watt, at age 36, 2.5 years removed from the NFL would be embarrassing to have on a NFL team 

 

**** Burnley boring negative bastards.

Was secretly hoping they would draw every game 0-0 though while we are romping away with the championship.

Marching on together.

Yeah, that must have been a little awkward, with the Bengals/Watt sitch and Burnley right on your tail.

Well we got promoted to the premier league tonight as did Watts team. Fingers crossed Trafford (Burnley’s keeper) can convince him to have one more year as he’s the single reason they’ve been promoted with us.

The beer is flowing last time we went up we made it to a Super Bowl a few moths later.
