Green is Back Sunday - Luvnit2 - 11-28-2018
The year will be over for sure with a loss (may be over anyway), but I am excited to see how Driskel plays with Green, Boyd and Ross all 100% healthy

Green is soft though right?? Bengals fans love blaming their best players.

Some do.
A lot of people just don't trust AD to lead us to the promised land. So, I am hoping Driskell throwing to AJ, Boyd and Ross can show us what we did not see in preseason as those 3 are long gone when Driskel came in the game.

So hard to be enthusiastic right now.

Green doesn't give up as quickly as others. Good on him.
RE: Green is Back Sunday - bengalhoel - 11-28-2018
No one should give up. As sad as this sounds , the Bengals could easily still make the playoffs.

Who are all the many people who said this? It doesn't ring a bell.

Not sure how "easily" making the playoffs will be.....

Mike Brown doesn't deserve AJ Green.

Actually, one (1) member posted a thread expressing those sentiments. As I recall, the majority of posters in that thread disagreed with the idea that a consummate professional like AJ Green would ever "tank", "give up", or otherwise not give his all if he was physically capable of doing so.

Good news, want him to have another good year regardless, great man, great player that deserves more.
Build on the Boyd, Ross chemistry and i have always liked Driskel as our backup, liked him over AJM last year.
Driskel has a nice throwing motion with fantastic athleticism. I picked the Broncos to beat us cause of our terrible
Defense but wouldn't surprise me if we pulled out a win with Green back. Still the O-line needs to play better but
with Driskel he can escape the pocket and make teams pay big time. Also hit AJ and the other talent when the
play breaks down.
Good Defense in Denver though.

Yeah that's not AJ at all. I watched the cuts to his face Sunday and he was flat out livid. There was no sign of him being emotionally checked out.
I just hope he is not unnecessarily putting himself in a position to create a permanent injury like Jack Lambert did...

I have always liked Driskel, but it's going to be a tall order for him Sunday.
I just hope he, Price, Ross, Tate and one or two of our young TEs show some significant growth. I'd be pretty happy if Burfict showed up Sunday as well.

Heard Price had a bad game against the Stains, sure help he improves no doubt. Pretty sure he will, think he will
be a stud down the road. Ross is still scoring TD's even if he is not living up to the draft position yet.
Don't know what has happened to Burfict except he has a lingering injury as Sunset has alluded to.

Ah, so many is now defined as one. That must be new math.

Yeah.....and calls the QB Mandy, and called Bobby Hart Bobby "hunt".
To be fair.....I did suggest that maybe AJ's toe injury lingers....lol. So there's 2.
I'm glad he's back......I need him in fantasy BADLY.
RE: Green is Back Sunday - Wyche'sWarrior - 11-28-2018
BTW, who are these "others" that have allegedly given up?

To further be fair, injuries do linger in these parts, so your suggestion wouldn't be too out of bounds. And your suggestion was more a reflection of injuries in general among Bengals.
There were a few of us who wondered if he would end up on IR with the way injuries are around here. But there was not even a hint of a suggestion that he would tank anything.

Well, that's true, and I was suggesting that he would play it much safer now that the playoffs are pretty much done for. I did, however, expect him to return this season. I was kinda implying that he would now wait to 100% heal, and protect "his assets", vs risking further or more permanent injury.
One thing about, AJ is a gamer and great teammate.
