Week 6 Eifert Watch

[ItsOdellThurman]

I posted it in July, a well-known fantasy injury expert (Jene Brammel, also an orthopedic Dr.) mentioned he got a report from someone covering the Bengals that they saw Eifert's scar. They noted it was in a very unusual place for this procedure (the inside of the ankle, not the outside). He took to task the "5-6 month" rehab and predicted that it would be AT LEAST that. This coincided with the reports that we would not see Eifert until at least week 5 or 6, which almost everyone on this board laughed at.

Now, it's coming out that once again, the Bengals bullshitted and downplayed the severity of the injury. It's also so, so concerning, for the millionth time, how they handled the whole thing. An injury in February takes until almost June to have surgery, and then costs a key player over half a season. The kick in the nuts? A team that the front office also let get depleted offensively, with a brutal first 6 game schedule, KNOWING this was a very key player for 2016...and you wonder why we're looking 2-4 in the face?

Piss. Poor. Management. Period.

...and I've always been a Marvin/Dalton/MB defender as I believe their improvement and commitment to winning is real. This is MAYBE the biggest step back in the last decade and very well might put us back on track for a long period of misery.
