It was stupid Joe just handing the ball off with 5 minutes to go in the game. It is a mindset, as a player he told he players he quit so why should they run through a wall for ZT next game.

The Steelers would never had run the ball over and over again against the 2nd string Steeler defense, they would have tried to get momentum for Joe and the WR's.

Yes, I know the game was over, but garbage time TD's do build momentum for next week,

ZT lacks the toughness to compete against the AFCN. He has to go.

Next week we play the Washington football team. Do you want us to win or play for draft pick position. A won puts is in the teens, a loss puts us in the top 5 more than likely.

Others are winning games with their back up QB's, just yesterday Dalton, Hill and the guy with no NFL experience won games off the top of my head so losing a QB is not an excuse for losing every game.

Yes, no bright side to Burrow getting hurt.

They probably won't, but that's the only way we get the #2 pick.

With that said, I think the #3 pick still secures us Sewell. If the top 3 are NYJ, JAX, us I could see the top 2 picks being TLaw and Fields, leaving Sewell to us.

The only concern would be if the Jags trade down to someone targeting Sewell. That would be pretty tragic.

If we signed a good guard and maybe a good tackle, then I'm completely comfortable with that selection. But if we had a more bare bones off season (more similar to what we are accustomed to, rather than what we got this past off season) I'd be pretty distressed knowing Joe was coming off of a really bad injury and the best help he'll get is a 2nd round pick to improve this line.

Imagine Chase, Tee and Boyd.  I have, and that's why I run to the podium in that scenario.

(11-23-2020, 01:26 PM)Crazyjdawg Wrote: Adeniji did look pretty good. He did give up 2 sacks once Finley went in. There's no doubt Finley held onto the ball well past the time he should have, but the reps were not pretty for Adeniji in those plays. With that said, you could chalk that up to the teamwide deflation the Bengals experienced following Joe's injury. You saw it on the defense as well. After containing the WFT offense for an entire half, they suddenly were giving up everything once Joe was down. So I think that may have played a big part in Adeniji's decline following the injury. We'll have to watch him play over the next 6 games to see if he's the future at RT or not. 

I think there's no doubt that LG is our biggest weakness on the team right now and Sewell doesn't fix that problem. So it would be awfully tempting to take Chase at 3. Hopefully, we're headed towards a good off season.
