On a positive note.

At least we don't have to wait until the end of the season to realize that the Bengals can't hang with the elite teams of the league..

[The Real Deal]

I hear that

[Interceptor]

Theres always next year. (as goes our annual mantra)

[2MinutesHate]

But can we hang with the Browns? That's the question we're all asking ourselves deep down.....

I didn't know where to post the following question and didn't want to start a new thread.


In all seriousness, you have a point about the Browns. I see a split at best. I realize it is still early in the season. My question is:
What has happened to the Bengals? They look lost in several aspects! Surely missing Burfict and Eifert shouldn't make that much difference. Other teams lose key players, even QBs, and still do well. There seems to be a big drop off in overall chemistry(aka give a shit). Of course Marvin is still the HC and never could get the coaches to step up or get a team firedup and ready to play. I would like to see some serious answers to my question. Thank you.

the rest of the league happened. we couldn't stop the coaches from leaving and we are left with just marv.

[Tlawsonmariat82]

Reggie Nelson happened, Marvin Jones happened,Andre Smith happened,leon hall happened all key components as well as Tyler and burfict...I thought it was dumb to pay Shawn Williams and iloka,combined these two have dropped four very catchable ints in the last two games

This... This is an absolute huge killer

On another positive note, Steelers getting absolutely housed by the Eagles.

Because they're actually getting penalized for holding instead of the refs being blind dumbasses

That ref crew from last week was clearly biased... In fact I wouldn't be shocked if every crew we face in Pittsburgh is given some under the table incentive to favor Pittsburgh.

[Ricky Spanish]

Elite? Pittsburgh is losing 34 - 3

I still like Iloka though. Has to be one of the hardest hitters in the league.

Because thats what happens when the Steelers play a game with the calls being fair on both sides.

And couldn't stay with no name tight ends two weeks in a row I would've much rather to see us pay Marvin Jones andre Smith Reggie Nelson and draft a safety instead of paying these two guys

Nelson is having a really bad year. Or so I'm told. Haven't watched any of their games. 

And we tried to pay Jones. He wanted to be a #1. Something that would never happen here as long as we have AJ.

[Tlawsonmariat82]

8 solo tlks and an int today our safeties dropped 4 ints in two weeks,and Marvin Jones wasn't guaranteed a number 1 spot in det

[bengalguy71]

Plus my wife's and son's team is the Eagles. Root for them unless they are playing the Bengals.

Loving the Vikings start as well!!

Plus the Buckeyes look tough!

Not a complete loss for this family!!

Sure as hell had a better chance of being a #1 in Det than here.
