The latest I've heard is that surgery is not required and he will miss 2 games. 

Sorry, I just had a dream last night of AJ lifting up the Lombardi high in February of 2019. It was one of the weirdest, perhaps unrealistic dreams I've had in a while.  i HAD to get an update.

You said he won’t make a difference Sunday. He just might, but for the team we face. Chill bro.. so much anger in your post. It’s like you know you’re wrong or something.

Do you think the bengals are ok at WR? I’ll wait.

No.  They probably aren't.  But that's because their top guy is out.  Of the available players at that position, only Tate would have filled that spot.  And he's getting up there too.  Do we really seem close enough to winning it all to rent somebody for half a season?  It makes no sense.  Plus, we're talking about the Bengals.  Being aware of how they operate seems relevant.

If we were talking about a MIKE or a WILL, I'd probably be on board.

with the Saints

And he signed with the Saints.  Will we see him on Sunday?  Doubtful but Sean Payton likes to pull surprises

Yes we could rent Tate for a year. Give up a 3rd now and get a 3rd or 4th comp pick in return.

When your defense is atrocious, you need all offensive talent possible

Impossible - the trade deadline has passed...

That was enough for me to dismiss him.

So a couple of dropped balls, and you are ready to dismiss him. Hmmmm, probably why you're not coaching in the NFL. You know who else has had a couple of dropped balls this year, and a lot of them last year? I'll wait..... (Hint: his last name is a combination of blue and yellow)

I have little confidence this happens on this team to the extent it needs to. 

Or, maybe it's because the coaches just have a different opinion than you do after watching them daily......

Now you are comparing Malone to green. Come on

The same coaching staff that has turned a top defense into a historically bad defense.

I have little faith that these coaches know enough , they certainly don't show it.

So you think a WR should be cut for one drop?

Come on.

When did I say anyone should be cut?

You best should know better than to put words in someone’s mouth

When you defended Yellowdiscipline's claim that Malone should be dismissed based on one drop against the Steelers.

(11-07-2018, 06:27 PM)fredtoast Wrote: When you defended Yellowdiscipline's claim that Malone should be dismissed based on one drop against the Steelers.

I never defended that. I did however say you can’t compare Malone to green.

Not comparing the players, comparing the drops. Green has as many as Core and Malone this year....

(11-07-2018, 06:35 PM)Sled21 Wrote: Not comparing the players, comparing the drops. Green has as many as Core and Malone this year....

On how many targets?

(11-07-2018, 06:34 PM)Bengalbug Wrote: I never defended that.  I did however say you can’t compare Malone to green.

He was not comparing Malone to Green.  He was just using them as examples of how stupid it would be to dismiss a player for a single drop. He never implied that Malone was as good as Green.

(11-07-2018, 07:10 PM)Bengalbug Wrote: On how many targets?

That's the point. Yes, Green has a lot of targets (and I'm not hacking on Green, I'm using him as an example) The others have very few targets. You have to give them enough targets to see if they can produce before you write them off. None of the Core/Malone/Ross players have had  that many targets to determine this.
