If there isn't a huge improvement from this one player, the whole season is probably flushed. To me, that's a huge gamble. Let's hope that it pays off. The Reds gamble on rookie pitchers sure didn't.

might of not got another contract. One thing about Mike Brown and the Blackburns, they care about their players.

Especially one like Whit that has been here his entire career and has done all he could for the team on and off the field.

It is a huge gamble, you are completely correct. Just happy so far Og has looked good, we will see how it plays out.

This tells me all i need to know about this Elliot.

Need to put the girl from Scrubs next to his name.

Ocho helped us out.

this Offseason. Lets see when the pads come on but it is not like Og doesn't have talent and hasn't been putting in the
work this year with his first full Offseason being able to work. Plus we can use TE's to help him out at times.

Everyone knows how i feel about Bodine but a healthy Boling to his left should help and if Andre can stay healthy he
should be an upgrade in the running game.

Adding Mixon and Ross and Eifert and AJ being healthy i don't understand how someone could think we will have a
worse record than last year. This guy is a Steeler fan hoping for the best, being Bell staying healthy.

Watch Burfict end his season again this year lol

(07-28-2017, 05:24 PM)Nate (formerly eliminate08) Wrote: We will see, i thought so earlier but after the draft and hearing and seeing Og i think we have lots of ways to limit him
hurting us if he struggles. We can use TE's to help him, use quick passes, slants, short post routes, pump fakes and then
hit Ross deep with his speed.

He can get going so fast Dalton might have enough time to get it to him.

Plus Mixon and Gio on Screens and the TE screen has always worked when we use it.

Zampese has so many tools to work with to help out Og if he struggles and there is always the plan of moving Fisher to
LT and Andre to RT if we really have to.

Oh wait..pretty sure all football predictions are meaningless tripe  unless they actually pan out and nobody believes it from day one. THEN it qualifies as a BOLD prediction.  I think it just means that the predictor is engaging in hyperbole and wants people to think they know something they don't really know which loosely translates into bullshit which is perfectly acceptable forms of punditry. ...or something like that..lol

We are a 9-7 team last year without those missed field goals!

I honestly think we not only just win games, but we ready.,..DOMINATE! to the point where experts around the league won't look at us as just the Bengals doing their usual regular season winning until the playoffs, No, people will see how lethal this offense is and know that we are a serious SB contender and maybe even the favorite by the end of the regular season.

It's our 50th anniversary, Marvin is done either way, Mike Brown can say the reason he didn't resign Marvin is cause he knew this was going to be his last season since he said he would retire if he wins the SB. Another reason we will be awesome, and likely the main reason is cause I moved and won't get to watch many games if any at all. Never missed a game, never. Ive never felt as confident in this team as I do right now. So bring it on B*^ches. Who-Dey

This was last year when Og struggled mightily and he will improve.


I bet we atleast make the Playoffs, after that who knows but the people predicting this team to win less than
6 games are not basing their thoughts off of reality. It is hope from Stealer fans, this is the most talented team
in the AFC, more talented than the Pats IMHO. They just have better coaches and a HOF QB.

We just have to stay healthy and we will be the one team pushing New England in the AFC.

He even said to me, that would should have to scariest offense in the AFC. He couldn't believe we got Mixon, he thought he was the steal of the draft. Of course I had to think of somethng nice to say about the Ravens..... LMAO
