I’m beyond frustrated by how this team handles IR. Mixon 2 years ago was BS.

With this news I doubt we sign anyone. …and that’s fine as long as Higgins and Boyd stay healthy.

Seattle is not in tank mode at all. Try paying attention to other teams not based in cincinnati

I dont mean to come off as a dick, but that was just a baffling statement. I apologize

But they also do not know how Chase heals since he has never really been hurt before. Not placing him on IR makes sense if they truly believe he can play in 4 weeks esp with option of elevating Lassiter or Irwin from the PS for WR depth.

On Monday they will do another x ray and/or MRI. His drs will get a sense of how much healing he has done in a week. They will make the IR decision before game time

The window to win is right now. They should be trying to buy HARD imo. They could use help at interior DL, corner back.  They could also use another wide receiver for depth.

I get frustrated sometimes that the Bengals are so in love with draft picks. Jackson Carman, Billy Price, Cedric Obghui, John Ross, Drew Sample, etc. are all exhibits of why I would 100% take a known quantity over a lottery ticket.

Make a trade, Bengals. The time has never been more right.

I agree with most that Trent Taylor should start at slot and move Boyd outside.  Trent has the most experience and, although he is a little short, he has been good at uncovering quickly and Burrow would probably appreciate a quick target against the Browns pass rush. 

I believe Kendrick Pryor makes the most sense.  I think he is on Jacksonville's PS and could be plucked if offered a roster spot.  Have him ready as a backup should we lose another WR.  If he is on Jax roster, offer a 6th round pick for him.  They would probably jump all over it and you have a quality WR that is on the cheap.  I don't want to hear that he hasn't done anything at Jax.  So what?  We all saw what he did here in this offense with fricking Brandon Allen passing him the ball.

As for learning the playbook that's not entirely out of the question either we see players come in and playing the same week of signing because they prepare most of the plays they are going to use that week during walkthroughs. The harder part is being on the same page and building chemistry with the QB as a WR.

I mentioned Ihmir Smith-Marsette as a possible signing he is a 5th round pick from 2021 draft and a deep ball threat. He has had some bad luck this year.

But if it was the season I would trade Bates in a second. We will be parting ways with him at the seasons end and getting nothing in return anyway.

In fact would be shopping him Jesse. Basically Bates is a rental for Bengals and believe there are better rental options available on the market like DE Bradley Chubb.  

With you that Pryor would already know the playbook and can be had for free by just claiming and signing to a contract well within the Bengals available cap space. Makes sense. 

Would also put Chase on IR and wait until the Chiefs game to see if he is ready. The combination of Burrow and Chase is too important to the Bengals future to rush him back in 4 weeks imo. They're saying 4-6 weeks, so there are 3 possible scenarios,
4 weeks, 5 weeks, or 6 weeks, per doctors. Two out of the three possibilities are past the IR length of 4 games anyway..
