Exactly. Usually Antonio Brown syndrome comes after a SB win. But I'm guessing a Mike Brown lowball offer can be insulting. Not everyone likes Denny's coupons.

Would be a ghost town here otherwise.

Yeah, I have to wonder what some of the initial contract offers are. I remember the word being that Tee was looking for Pittman Jr's $23m/yr, and the Bengals allegedly "weren't even close to $20m/yr" with their offer. Just such a large gap that they stopped talking about it for over a year.

Hahaha so true.
However, fans are going to "fan". There are a thousand ways to "fan" and everyone can react how they please. Always been that way and nothing wrong with it.
Me personally, yes I get upset and disappointed at certain points throughout the early parts of Games. But, I am mostly patient until near the end of the game (a "We'll see" type of guy). Most of the time, an NFL game is close and comes down to the 4th qtr and last moments of the games.
We'll see.
Season is here. WHO-DEY!

Diva WRs are my least favorite players in all of sports.
So glad we have 3.

No, I don't try to impose rules, and there's a reason I don't watch the games at a bar. The immaturity is overwhelming.

It is not for people with who are sensitive to that lol, but yeah I'm calling sled out for being one of the "pissing on people for having a good time" - part of their good time is bitching about why Mixon gets 1 yard a carry half the time lol.
Then you've got the inspector gadgets after the game re-reviewing the thread to see who was wrong or right in the moment, lol, just ***** hilarious stuff.
Everyone here wants the team to win, it's funny how people tell others how to "fan" in the moment. Let people act and react how they want, what does it harm you lol. It's not like they're off rooting for some other team during the same game, as much as it may seem lol.
Now in this same thread trying to diminish the rights of fandom if you ***** about the team, is also hilarious. If/When the Bengals win there is no diminished right for any of us. When the Cavs won the championship there was no fan that had "diminished fandom" because of how they fanned up until that point lol.
If you're in the sports heaven discord server it's sometimes 200 people at once typing live over a game (superbowl/etc.), I think you guys couldn't handle that lol. People are not a hive mind, they don't do what you expect or want. The least you should expect is the courtesy to not be a dick to your fellow fan...lol.
Imagine you have a party with 50 people over and you kick 25 out because you don't like that they throw their hat on the ground when our punter kicks 20 yards back to back.
And that's exactly what I said, you get your jollies bashing the team, then come back and try to act like fan of the year. Just be man and say you don't like the Bengals and you get off tearing them down.

Trade Chase and Higgins for whatever you can get. Those two aren't here to win, their egos just need a big check that hurts the rest of the team... let Joe kick some back if he wants them he can help pay for them.

It’s Joe-ver. And let’s not act like he’s a helpless victim. He’s not as good as we wanted to believe.

In order to get who? Are you going to exclusively draft bad players and players with crippling self esteem issues? Because otherwise if you draft good players, those players are going to want to be paid too.

Some of these dudes would build a team full of Trenton Irwin’s and Tanner Hudson’s the way they talk.

Well then you never learned much.
The Patriots were running heavy cover 2 man. The Bengals needed to take advantage with their rush offense but they only had 2 or 3 solid runs the entire game trusting everything to the underneath passing offense and angles.

See, I know I have no idea how to build an NFL team; which is why I would hire COMPETENT football minds with the only goal being a Lombardi every single year. The Brown family is a curse to the fans and the NFL.

I am concerned a bit about Burrow myself and his injuries... clearly his wrist injury hasn't completely healed.
He doesn't have the athleticism to extend plays as often as his elite peers which puts the Bengals at a disadvantaged. Which is why the Chase and Higgins situations are so annoying as he really may need elite WR's to elevate his game. Burrow has a bit of Dalton in him where he needs an ideal situation to thrive that an Allen or Mahomes doesn't entirely need.
I also think it hasn't sunk in yet for Burrow that he needs to be under center to thrive. This shotgun crap for 90% of the plays is costing the team chunks of yardage.

Reads were poor. Never checked out of a bad play. Missed some throws.
He’s not terrible. All I’m saying is he’s not some top 5 superstar-level player. And he didn’t play well today.

Wrong. The offensive structure vs cover 2 man was poor early without solid rush offense. They were in 3rd and long consistently until the final 2 or 3 drives but by that time the Patriots D was eating time using cover 4/6.
Anyone trying to put the loss on Burrow needs to check theirselves... It was all O scheme and missed tackles.

This was the best opener Joe Burrow has had in 3 years. I didn't see any issues with his arm strength or accuracy. I'm not concerned.

It's so nice watching a Cowboys offense filled with rookies hold its own against Cleveland.
