Williams, XSF/Spain, Hopkins, XSF/Spain, Reiff


Hopkins is the only player now that is better than than his 2015 counterpart. Rieff is a push, his pff grade has him as 71.4 and up to 2015 Andre Smith had a 70.28 average and trending downwards.

Simply drafting the stud WR did not get the Bengals any playoff wins.  18 receptions for 232 yards and 1 touchdown in 4 playoff games and many regular season cheers and good feelings.  That's what it got.

Those are all team losses. 

I don't need those stats to know it. 

Look at all of that O-line protection and not good enough supporting cast to take the heat off our stud WR.

Not to mention that playoff game that our OC wouldn't use him as a target for the 1st half and when he was injured for the other one.

Great catch from a crappy backup QB only to be pisssed away by fumble fingers Jeremy and the downward spiral D meltdown.
