(10-16-2016, 09:26 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: Yup. He was good enough to win most definitely.

We just couldn't run (well) and our defense couldn't get a stop in the 2nd half.

Brady was 7 of 11 for 62 yards before that late 2nd quarter TD. After that, he went 22 of 24 for 314 yards and 3 TDs. Hard to compete with that. Gronk had a career high in yardage.

Bengals have pretty much always had big slow LB. Dansby is like 250, Maualuga is at least 260, and Burfict is listed at 250, but he looks a lot bigger than that this year.

It is like Lewis is still living in his Baltimore memories, and never got the message that most good LB are smaller and faster now.

Every one always says "now way does Brown do this", but they forget that it is a three-headed machine now with Katie and Troy Blackburn, and Mike.  They are business people and are intelligent enough to realize that they have spent close to $7 million before to retain several coaches at the same time.  An investment of $8 million per year shows the world that you are not cheap and it doesn't impact the salary cap.  IMHO, I believe they would consider it if Harbaugh was not so outspoken.  If he was more like an Urban Meyer, I think they would consider it.  

And you, frankly, have no idea the mindset of Harbaugh (and neither do I), but I think the fact that his brother has a Super Bowl ring and he does not grinds him.  He has done a fantastic job at Michigan, but college coaching also includes recruiting and it is exhausting.  I think to come to the AFC North, against the likes of Tomlin, it would be an opportunity he would be very interested in, and there is no way this talent would be wasted.

The only reason why McCarron had even any scoring drives was because the defense put him on the Steelers side of the field. We would have had like 3 points the whole game if Landry Jones wouldn't have came in.

McCarron played super bad in the playoffs. If you just watched the game you would know that. He had a ton of fumbles and he was panicing in the pocket taking a lot of sacks. He had a 56% completion percentage and 5.1 yards per attempt. He played just as bad if not worse than Dalton, and the only saving grace he had was the defense putting him in great field position to make his stats look a lot better than he was playing even though his stats were complete garbage. Next time try to deal with facts and not your fantasy world.

I went through drive by drive on another thread and pointed out the MULTIPLE drives that did NOT start in Steelers territory.  You simply ignored it, and apparently you still want to repeat your false claims.

You sir, are a proven liar, and you have a real big chip on your shoulder when it comes to AJ McCarron.  In fact you've gone so far as to post negative comments on AJ McCarron youtube videos, that's how much of a bizarre hatred you have for the guy, you little Einhorn.

Seek help.  Or at least be honest when critiquing someone's performance.

Sorry that I'm not riding McCarrons jock strap like you.

Ha.....of course not.  But Shaw was having a fine game against them....then magically....the backers were back on them.  Stupid is as stupid does I guess.  We're going NOWHERE with this staff and the miser still with the last call.

2) Nice attempt at justifying your bizarre hatred of a backup QB in the NFL.

3) Not riding the guy's jock strap, I just think he's going to be a very good NFL QB and I correct ignorant people who think "he sucks he didn't do squat" when he got a chance last year.

He actually did pretty well, and there's a reason he was voted best backup QB in the NFL.

Laces out, Einhorn.

I even thought mccaron was boring to watch last year. I asked a sports group of non bengal fans who would be better.  The answers was just as similiar as our own Bengal fans would be.50/50 answer. So this ain't just Bengal fans.once again all I care about is more  success for this team

3) You're pretty much McCarrons jockey you ride his nuts so hard. He was pretty bad last year too.

McCarron isn't anywhere close to the best backup in the league. Not even close.

Don't hurt yourself praying to your McCarron shrine.
