I think Ima start an Unofficial Gameday Thread next week and the rule is you must talk about the game..Novel concept, but it might work.

Not a fan of either so far this year

Not because he was a bad player just felt we already drafted his replacement and had bigger holes to fill with that money elsewhere.

Yet sure thought he would be trying harder being in a contract year after they decided to retain him though.

He had better be careful per players playing not to get hurt usually get hurt.

We haven’t played against a team that constantly passes the ball yet, I’m waiting for the second half of the season to see if we get the real Bates when we play against Mahomes,Allen and Watson.

It’s hard for him to shine at the moment because the drives where we are constantly getting passed on are the game losers at the end where Lou has been playing soft so you wouldn’t expect him to jump on one.

At this point in the season though I’m ***** glad we didn’t give him that contract would have been money for nothing but there is still time, he will want to be in the shop window come the end of the season.

(10-16-2022, 11:12 PM)BengalsLUFC Wrote: How many deep shots where Bates shines?

How many of those are evening medium distance throws that would give him half a chance of doing something?

Nearly everything we’ve faced this season have been 7/10 yarders that you’d hope Hilton and Wilson were getting a chance to pick.

Later in the season if he’s still anonymous I’ll hold my hands up and be thankful we’ve got Dax ready to go next season, but if Bates was on a rookie deal this thread doesn’t get made.

Laps said Dax saved the day on the last NO play.
