Our QB and like 3 others on fire!! And the rest of the team "the bad news bears"

Rex called the entire defense besides Hendrickson "scout team level" players. That's pathetic. That's Duke Tobin and the "front office" with their four whole scouts.

Tee Higgins is a really good receiver. I'm surprised he isn't hurt more often...Seems like he's taking massive hits in the middle of the field every week. That is his skill set combat catches through contact.. they going to miss that.

Is he a regular Don Beebe?  Don Teebe?

Might as well sign him if they money isn’t gonna be used to get a STAR player

The practice of replacing pro bowl guys with cheaper bums is trash and we should be ashamed for ruining a healthy Burrow season.


If you aren’t gonna spend the money why kill the only reason Chase doesn’t get tripled every play?

I'd agree, but the fact still remains that HE DOESNT PLAY. He has missed 50% of his games as a Bengal. That is a huge concern/issue with me paying him.

Right, and his injuried aren't from hits, they are hamstring and quad injuries. That is not going to improve with age.

I've said it before - ad nauseum I'm sure - but Housh solved his own hamstring issue.  He had 2.5 years of really bad hamstring issues.  He went out, researched it, committed to a rigorous power yoga routine and never had an extended soft tissue injury again in his career.   I'd say Tee should be doing the same thing - and he should.

But who runs the team?  You can't sit there and let a rash of soft tissue injuries plague your team and sit on your hands.  And going to your old standbys - Kettering Health and whoever is clearly not working.  Think out of the dag gone box and take some frigging responsibility for outcomes!  Do something, do something, do something!

My biggest frustrations with a family I otherwise have SO much respect for is they sit there and let their resources drift away.  They did the same thing with Jonathan Joseph.   I've never heard such a deafening silence as Zimmer's following the debacle.  They just let him go.  When you have two really good CBs you don't let someone just scarf one of them up!

Tee is a beast!  He has the fire in his gut.  He has rare talent that is a wonderful counter to Chase.   He's a deal if he plays only 2/3 of the season.

But I think he could be healthy for all of it, and could have been signed two years ago and we wouldn't be wasting out discussions about it.

This team gets paid billions to put a product on the field.  Step to the plate and do your job.   You'll still have a very good payday.
