I think some of you forgot it’s a 17 game season now.

Jonah only missing one game would definitely be a step in the right direction. I went bold with 17. I called AJ playing every game last year, but I hope Jonah stays healthy and plays well. There’s a lot hinging on him.

Again, you split it 5/5, but it's really 5/4.5 and that last .5 he was getting hit a lot.

Knockdowns aren't the same as QB Hits. I'm not sure why you have to act like I am unaware of this when it's your failure to read that's the problem. In the post you quoted to reply to me, I listed both QB Hits and Knockdown % separately earlier in the post. So you read that (or skimmed it) and decided I meant they were the same thing? That's on you for reading something and then assuming something completely different, man. I was talking about just getting hit. Another thing I am aware of is that a QB who gets hit but maintains their balance, or gets hit into an OL and stays upright isn't a "knockdown" but it's still more of a hit than a QB who is throwing off balance and barely gets knocked down or flops trying to draw a flag. Hits are hits, and I don't want my QB taking that many.

I watched the all 22 with the 2nd part of each play being behind the QB as well. Sorry i didn't include that. I have to admit, i ommited it to see how your argument would go and, unfortunately, it went as i thought. 

No matter how many words you use in your post, Burrow was not hit, i.e., tackled or knocked to the ground 14 times. As i said, i went back and watched the game. I'd suggest you do the same before creating a talking point and then having to try and justify/explain/whatever that point when it's proven, beyond the shadow of a doubt, to be incorrect. 

"Hit a lot" is not the same as being tackled or knocked to the ground. And...he actually wasn't, really. 

P.S. Um, i think you typed something about my "failure to read" when i did exactly the opposite of "have to act like i am unaware of this", as i actually said i didn't know if you were aware of what is considered (recorded as) a QB hit, and that i know you knew the difference between an actual hit and a push/bump.

Poll question: Do we finish the season with our current HC/OC/DC?

[TJ528]

Joe Burrow finishes the year with a passer rating higher than Justin Herbert? Herbert. Better offensive line = more time to throw and give time for plays to develop
Number of games Jonah Williams plays? 13
Which player will be #2 in rushing yards? Perrine
Leading WR in yards? Higgins
Number of times Joe is sacked? 48
Number of WRs with 1,000+ yards? 2 (Higgins/Boyd)

Which duo gets more sacks: (Hendrickson/Sample) or (Hubbard/Ossai)? Ossai

Duo with more INTs: Safeties (Bell/ Bates) CBs (Waynes/Awuzie)? Bell/Bates
Team Leader in PR yards? Phillips
Which (if any) UDFA makes the 54? None - if there is one it could be Drue Chrisman, I just don't believe this front office will cut Huber. I do think Chrisman will be on an opening day roster even if it's not the Bengals.
Non-QB Offensive MVP: Higgins
Defensive MVP: Bates
ROY: Chase
Breakout/Comeback Player: Waynes


Poll question: Do we finish the season with our current HC/OC/DC? Yes, only because the Bengals have never fired a head coach during the season, except Shula.

After 2 PS games I'm liking most of my predictions. Gotta say my faith in Lees may not work out, but riding with Tee is looking good

I wonder how many people would have said Awuzie had you included best FA pickup in the questions (I certainly wouldn’t have). But right now I’d say he’s actually edging out guys like Hendrickson, Reiff, and Hilton. Who all look good themselves. But Awuzie has been a really nice surprise so far. He’s playing like a CB1.

[*SHRacerX*]

Joe Burrow finishes the year with a passer rating higher than Justin Herbert? YES
Number of games Jonah Williams plays? 14
Which player will be #2 in rushing yards? Chris Evans
Leading WR in yards? Ja.Marr Chase

Number of WRs with 1,000+ yards? 2. My heart says 3, but injuries happen...
Which player will have the most TDs? Tee Higgins
TE with 2nd most catches? Thad Moss. No disrespect to Sample, but I think Moss is a better receiving threat.
Highest rated olineman according to PFF?
Which duo gets more sacks: (Hendrickson/Sample) or (Hubbard/Ossai)? Hubbard/Ossai
More snaps at LB between Evans, Davis-Gathers, Bailey? Bailey. He is showing already. Just has to stay healthy.
Duo with more INTs: Safeties (Bell/ Bates) CBs (Waynes/Awuzie)? Tough one. Wish I could take 1 safety and 1 CB. I will take the CBs
Team Leader in PR yards? Hmmmm. Phillips, by default.
Which (if any) UDFA makes the 54? Freedom Akinmoludun
Non-QB Offensive MVP: Joe Mixon
Defensive MVP: Jessie Bates
ROY: Ja'Marr Chase
Breakout/Comeback Player: Comeback(not named Burrow) Uzomah. . Breakout, Evans

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

Just had the bump this thread before it got buried so I can get back to it later...

[Nicomo Cosca]

So J24 was the only person to get one of the UDFA’s making the team right. He only gets half credit though as he said Hodge after the first 2 preseason games. :P

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

11 wins, make the Playoffs and win a game finally...

Bates missing some time could hurt a few of my picks. Same with Ossai. As for TE with the 2nd most catches; I can’t believe Sample hasn’t even had ONE yet lol.
