These kids have to learn how to close games out and win. Well they did just that now two weeks running and on Monday night. I am not as gaga about Sewell as some here and in fact would be unsurprised if he fell down the boards especially if he is out of shape at the combine or does not work out after skipping the season.

This applies to Penei Sewell and it should have applied to Joe Burrow last year. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have drafted Burrow but there was too much placed on his shoulders and that was wrong. The Bengals only won 2 1/2 games with Burrow and that’s not his fault.

Of course, it may all be moot with Zach Wilson rising, anyways.

If we lose, everyone bitches about how we lost.

If we lose, the entire staff needs to be gone, no road wins, need to win 5 games to even be considered keeping any of them.

So... the team wins.

Now it's we can't win it hurts our draft position.

We won, but we beat teams that didn't care.

We won, but we've done this before at the end of bad seasons.


So, you want to stop losing? The only 100% certain way to stop losing is to... surprise... start winning. The team won 2 in a row without the three biggest offensive weapons. 

Who cares about Penei. Every draft site says the same thing, he is raw. He needs to be coached up to be successful at the NFL level. 

Last I looked, Jim Turner was our OL coach. You can guess, hope, pray and cry that he needs to be gone (and he does) but you have to live in the real world.

Real world, he is still the O-line coach. Real world Mike Brown doesn't care what you think. So until Turner is fired, Sewell is not the right pick for this team. They need to draft an O-lineman who doesn't need to be coached up and is labeled raw.

I'll take the wins, and if they beat Baltimore to finish on a winning streak even better. The guy from Northwestern looks solid, the guys who will be back Bates, Bell, Hubbard, Pratt, Higgins, Gio are all playing really hard. Learning to win, goes a long way.

All this crying and bitching... it's pathetic. Sad we were losing, then sad with how we lost, not can't even enjoy the team starting to look better. Who knows if it carries over to next year but I prefer seeing wins over loses.

Many would say that's kind of a reach, but many would also say neither will probably be there at 37. And obviously, you can't guarantee a trade back, so the Bengals may have to resort to picking someone at 5.

(12-28-2020, 12:12 PM)ochocincos Wrote: What QB would they get then? Or do you think they stick it out with Darnold one more year?
I do think that Darnold has underwhelmed, but I also think he has not had receiving talent.
Their top two receivers right now are Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman.
They should have never let Robby Anderson leave.

I’d have mixed feelings about that though. We need a ton of help, but I’d also love to add an elite top 10 player, who’s the consensus best at their position.
