Burfict, Dre out...

[sandwedge]

These two have ruled out for this Sunday's game. My guess is that we will do more of the same as we have been doing....

No reason to risk them to a lost season now.

Not a peep in the media about 3 of our guys getting concussions in that game. Yet another example where playing the Steelers has cost our guys multiple games. Meanwhile, Burfict is still the villain for hurting Antonio that one time.

[sandwedge]

You're right there isn't. I would like to see these younger guys perform where we actually get aggressive instead of the norm of letting teams drive up and down the field.

[WiregrassBenGal]

At this point, the Bengals should just go ahead and play their reserve players and other people on the roster and find out who can and who can't play.

It's what they did in 2010 and it, along with the draft of Andy and A.J., led to unexpected success a year later and a return to the playoffs.

BTW, what little I saw of the Bears game made me wanna barf.

[corpjet]

Sit them all, let the kids play, worst case we get a higher draft pick!

[Interceptor]

Ok, so the game should move along faster. Less penalties.

I believe the team has quit on Marv anyways.

No need for Burfict to get another concussion and be out of the league in a meaningless game.

Hope we lose out but we see some good stuff from the young guys.

I didn't watch this past game.
how did Jordan Evans play at LB?

Think terrible and then go down from there.

Imagine a baby giraffe, trying to walk for the first time.

I can't think that's a good thing at all

He's gotta learn somehow, right?

Nah, I get it, and I'm all for young guys learning, I guess when I read that I flashed a literal baby giraffe on a football field and that made me clutch a bit.

Is Burfict's concussion the result of Ju-Ju's illegal hit? If Burfict inflicted the same damage on a Steeler, the Steeler fans would want Burfict out of the NFL.

No need for Burfict to rush back, The D can't stop anyone anyway. DreKirk will not be missed.

Maybe a little better against the run?

Seems Maualuga was in today...

Yep. Bur because Burfict concussed Brown and hurt Bell in the past, everyone sees JuJu's hit as "karma" and are completely ok with it. JuJu is just a soldier of justice, right?!

Sure is the result of that dirty mutha.

You are correct on Kirkpatrick as well. He won't be missed. Big time mistake in extending him instead of Whit.

So much bullshit man. I want to punch a Steeler fan, need to find my brother in law.

Give the kid credit; he seemed to improve quickly. PFF had him rated as our top performer in the Ravens game. He rated particularly well in coverage
