I will be at the game today enjoying the rain, so I won't be able to watch along with this thread (smart phone - what's that?). That makes me a little sad. But, I take comfort in knowing that many of us will probably be on this board for the National Championship game featuring our new Superman quarterback.

As for today, I hope Andy has the game of his life and throws about six TDs, gets a nice send-off from the crowd, and we bury those shitstains and end their season with double-digit losses.

Enjoy the game, fellas, and I'll look forward seeing this forum against next August. Who Dey, baby!!!

I hope our fans show AD some love and respect regardless of how he plays in crappy conditions today.

Burrow will be our QB in 2020, so we can show we can be classy fans for a QB who never quit and had some great moments in Cincinnati or our fans can look small and petty.

I hope class is chosen, if not I will be embarrassed for our fan base.

[BengalRed]

For some reason this game isn't on in Lexington. They've carried almost every Bengals game for years. Don't understand why they aren't showing it today.

Newbie WR Trenton Irwin is active today over Willis. Potentially another chance to evaluate a young guy

Watch Andy have the game of the century, throw 12 TDs, run for another 4 and we draft a unknown since it'll convince the Brown clan there's no need for a great QB in the foreseeable future since he's still under contract here..   Wash, Rinse, Repeat..

I must be slipping.. Where did Irwin even come from? The hardware section at Lowes in Trenton, NJ?

Thought for sure we’d get Romo this game.

Edit: I see it’s on fox, and no Aikman? Cowboy QBs are the only guys I don’t mute.

I was surprised to see both Willis and Morgan inactive...

It's all good.  We got Robert Smith.

Did Morgan get cleared from concussion protocol? Willis is a surprise, does he have an injury? Maybe Irwin can help more on ST?

[treee]

Hope Andy's last game as a Bengal is a good one for him. Thanks for your hard work and dedication Andy!

I wonder if Browns fans are hoping we destroy them so they can move on from Freddy Outhouse.

He was signed to the PS back in Oct.  He was a UDFA out of Stanford with the Dolphins in preseason.  Promoted to full squad this week

I'm hoping 2021.

Dalton is under contract for 2020, and IMO rookie QBs are best served sitting behind a veteran QB while they adjust to the Sunday game.

As for everything else you stated, I agree 1000%.

Actually I forgot about Morgan being in the protocol.

[masonbengals fan]

If it's brown.
Flush it down.

If we draft Burrow we should play him.  If we sit him his rookie year we will have to start with the "He's still a rookie" talk again.  Also, if ZT benched Dalton for a woefully-unworthy Ryan Finley what makes you think he's going to be able to keep Burrow on the bench all year?

I read this morning that the Haslams are also considering moving on from John Dorsey.

[grampahol]

So I see they've decided to not carry the radio broadcast of the game on the mothership as usual.. After such an impressive season I just don't understand it. 

Had Andy thrown 3 TDs yet? I know it just started, but goodness..He's in the running for the greatest QB ever in the last game of lost seasons..

Edit: It's there.. Radio broadcast link was delayed..
