Just a a little f'n common sense.

DAMN IT!!!!

It's the execution, blah, blah, blah....

If the players out there executed they would have scored, blah, blah, blah...

It isn't the scheme or game plan, blah, blah, blah....

He's literally producing negative value. You'd get more value in paying him to NOT be on this roster than you do paying him to be on it. It's a sunk cost, so just cut him.

I've literally been saying this since last season and people on here were blind to this fact. We could get better production at another position from an UFA. It's good to see people waking up to this fact.

I think I've finally hit that breaking point with Ross.
He should have been one of the most productive receivers with Green and Boyd both out there.
Instead, he got only 2 targets with 0 receptions.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him inactive next week over Tate.

The more he drops it, the less Burrow is going to throw it to him, open or not.

I actually watched the game last night since it was on prime time, but I don't recall either being a drop. The second one I vividly remember being a throw that was off, but I don't believe Ross was looking for the ball.
Was the first one a drop?
I'll have to go back to that first target and see.

If I had to deactivate a WR for a game,it certainly would be Ross,and not Auden Tate.

Unfortunately, the rest of the WRs aren't getting much separation (feels like we've been saying that since Jones and Sanu left).
But it doesn't matter how much Ross gets separation if he isn't relied upon to catch it.

It was nice to see Higgins get some action. Thought he did well with his time.

I thought so too.
It's not good though when only one WR has more yards than your RB (40).

Unfortunately, I’ve seen enough from Ross. He isn’t cutting it and I don’t want him back. I had high hopes for him, but it just isn’t happening. AJ also didn’t look right last night. If his play doesn’t improve, he may not be back, either.

61 pass attempts and our 4th year top 10 pick WR gets 2 targets and 0 receptions. Brutal.

We aren't even bothering with the typical worrying he's going to go to New England or Pittsburgh and put up monster numbers.

Ross is a waste of a uniform, never gets open, never completes his route, no effort when a pass is thrown his way. Why is he even on the team? I would rank him last of the receivers on this team. No way he should be playing unless we lose 2 or 3 Receivers, due to injury during the game. Another first round burst by the bengals, thanks mike brown and family for your crack assessment of talent. Oh by the way, Price another example of great talent scouting. You can’t keep blowing first round picks year and year and expect to compete in the NFL.

One ball right through his hands for a TD, and another huge play negated because he bobbled it on the sideline. He’s just not any good. Get Tee Higgins or Auden Tate in there, and let Ross walk after this year. I’ve seen enough.

I like Mike Thomas over him for sure

The ball has to be perfectly placed for Ross to catch it, then it's 50-50 if he drops it. He will not lay out for a long pass, and suffers from alligator arms whenever a defender is around. He is just not good.

Thomas has played both games. Tate is who he’s holding back.

It’s been lack of effort so far, not necessarily drops.

Actually I saw someone this morning on here say Pittsburgh would “know how to use him” LOL

Marvin Lewis knew how to use him. Particularly in his rookie year.  Ok that's kinda harsh.

I have a hard time understanding how a guy can go from 80 catches in one season in college to not be able to muster hardly anything in the NFL.
To have that many catches in a single season in college still requires a lot of effort.
WTF happened to him?

Way tougher competition for one. PAC-12 isn’t exactly the SEC when it comes to defenses.
