As of week 9, coaches were 5 for 53 on PI challenges but 33 for 72 on all other challenges.

Steelers are our biggest rival and I want to see them lose all of their games?

We're going to turnover on downs to end this drive.

I wanted to see Finley for 4 games and if he truly stunk it up...like he is...i wanted to see Dolegala for the last 4, but i don't think they'll run him out there at all this year. 

I think it's Finley or bust the rest of this year. 

Unless he gets injured, then it's back to Dalton.

Yup. At this point, i don't see how he's even a viable backup.

Yup. Three full games against different types of defenses and i haven't seen one single thing that you can point to as a positive for improvement. 

Sure, he's escaped a few times where Dalton would have been sacked, but if you can't do anything after escaping...what's the upside to it?

Weak (much weaker than it looked in preseason) arm, late throws, bad decisions, looks hesitant, VERY loose with the football. 

I get they're a bad, bad team, but he hasn't shown any kind of flash that would make you say..."hmm, looks like he has something we can work with". 

Nothing.

So the Jets and Cleveland games looked easier before this week...now they're both playing decent.

Honestly, this is a REALLY bad and injury depleted Steelers team we're losing to.

Average to below Bengals teams of the last 2 years would have won the last 2. 

That's how bad this team is.

They HAVE to hold the record, for most unwanted, futility records. They seem to set new ones every single week somehow.

You’ve seen what he can do which is why you put him in. Best case scenario he isn’t ready yet (we all know he never will be). Get him out and give the other rookie a chance to put something on tape, or put Dalton in to try to win a game and let him end his bengals career as a starter since the rookie is no good

I had a thought the other day while driving to the gym. I wondered if Finely continued to stink it up and they weren't willing to put Dolegala in, if they'd go back to Dalton the last 3 or 4 games for 2 reasons: 

1. Give the team some kind of chance to win 1 or 2.
2. Hope that he plays decent enough to up his trade value at the draft. 

Ten seasons is more than enough to see that he's not the answer here, so sticking with him next year would just be a repeat of the last 4 years.

Defense and offensive line. Having those two things can keep you in contention.

Yep. 14 more sacks a season won't get you jack if your offense can't score more than 13 points a game. 

(11-24-2019, 06:24 PM)StrictlyBiz Wrote: No way. Young can wreak havoc. Fix your O line, resign Green, and for the love of God put Dalton back in. Bengals get instantly much better. 

Dalton needs to go. If they take Young, which i'm not against...they need to take a QB in the 2nd, trade Dalton and try to package some picks to get back in the first round to get Kindley or another Oline guy.

I'm starting to get the impression that Marv would have done much better if he hadn't been so handcuffed by MB and his archaic ways of viewing player treatment and free agency. 

And that's a hard thing to admit...

That is beyond ridiculous, but when you don't have to answer for the discrepancy, why should they care?

Dalton is not the answer moving forward with this team. If they go Young which wouldn't make me mad at all. Either get a bridge QB or like you say try and trade back up and get one of the 2nd tier guys. This team has so many needs you're not going to fix it in one offseason. 

It's obvious Finley isn't going to develop in any kind of short term, if at all. Why not see what Dolegala has ?

At this point Dalton has to go. I don't know how you go back to him next year after you bench him for a guy that's worse. That was a big mistake. It created a problem where there really wasn't one before. Or at least not as big as other problems. You could've rolled with Dalton while you fixed other things. He's. Not. That. Bad.

He was bad, a lot this year and he started to feel real stale and like his expiration date had expired.
