The Giants lost Barkley, they will not be crying for Bengals injuries. Bengalrs need to step up. Beating the 2020 Giants in PAUL BROWN Stadium is possible Thanksgiving Weekend.
We should also WANT Finley to do well, because Burrow is going to be out for a while. Finley an early 4th round pick, Ken Anderson was a late 3rd round pick. Just as when Cook went down, I wanted Carter and Anderson to step up. While Burrow is out, we need somebody to step up in 2020 and maybe 2021. Hopefully unlike Cook, Burrow returns someday as Smith has at Washington. Hopefully we will have drafted a better O Line and Defense by the time Burrow returns. The team is kind of committed to drafting Burrow and his rehab return someday. I would not be against a 2021 resign of Andy for one year, a veteran to fill the gap until Burrow returns. Hey, we brought Boomer back for one year. Ex Bengal Fitzpatrick might do a one year contract, or Rivers or Cam. I see a one year veteran willing to do a year of Bengals in 2021 while Burrow rehabs. We were lucky to get Virgil Carter from Bears in 1970.
I've been through this Greg Cook situation before. Cook never came back. Burrow could. You root for the QB's coming in to do good. You do not root against them. I wanted Wyche, Carter and Anderson to do good and WIN after Cook went down. I rooted for Blake, Kitna or McCarron when they came in after starters injured. So now I root for Finley to do good and Win. Look at Houston when they beat us with 3rd string Yates. NO QUIT in FOOTBALL. Finley has Green, Boyd, Higgins to get the ball to. He needs practice field time reps, and he will now get those.
That's old school Kevin. I can dig it.
You deserve a medal my guy, you've been hanging on from the inaugural season.
I get what you're saying, and you're right. Anyone that's ever strapped on a headgear knows you are right. There is no quit in the game. You'll get your ass hurt if you do. 0-10, or 10-0, there's no quit among admirable players.
