Another depth addition? He’ll probably be starting by next week.

The Bengals are going to come out smelling like the bad guys on this one but, I'm starting to believe this is all about Cordy Glenn. His replacement gets drafted and suddenly he self reports a concussion. Then he's out 8 weeks. The Bengals didn't just clear him, he was cleared by an Independent Neurological Consultant and he's still complaining they rushed him back. As dumb as the Bengals can be, I have to think they had pretty strong evidence he was ready to get to the point of fining him $200,000. I think this asshole just didn't want to come back for a throw away season and wanted to collect a paycheck. This isn't the first time Cordy Glenn has been put under the microscope for slow playing a return from injury. Same thing happened on the Bills with a foot injury a few years back. At this point, trade his tubby ass down the line for the best draft pick you can get and move on.

Two different issues here. He said they weren't going to trade AJ. That doesn't mean he's going to sign an extension. You can't just trade or fire Tobin, can you? Don't you have to use a wooden stake or something?

well....sure.....it sounds bad when you put it that way

...and the laundry duties are assigned by position groups. Of course, that creates some friction within the team. When it's the Tight Ends' turn to do the laundry, Clark Harris says that he's with the kicking team...and when it's the kicking team's turn to do the laundry, he says that he's a tight end. That bum.

there's just really not very much talent on this team overall and then throw the worst OL in the league in on top of it....I'm not really sure how we can get much of an idea of what kind of coach we truly have right now....and that would have applied to any coach they would have brought in. I mean coaching is great to have and all but obviously you need some talent as well. No one they could have brought in was going to change that here. either way, I'd rather go 0-16 with a new young coach like Taylor than 8-8 with an old stale coach like Marvin.

Maybe we send a couple guys around, throw a "challenge flag" on you there

We must be watching different games. The only 2 that even looked that close were the opener where he had one of his better career games & then last week when he led a comeback that was promptly squandered. Granted he's looked shell-shocked and scared most of the rest of the time but he's also taking a beating behind a shit OL due to absolute incompetence from a joke FO. And hasn't demanded a trade. He's pretty much a punching bag while Zac etc figure out WTF they're going to do next. This idea that a rookie QB would turn it all around is pure fantasy.

Because the sooner they stop trying to polish the turds the sooner they can flush and move on?

"The hell I did! I'm not that kind of coach...and he'll vouch for me"

Does this mean he doesn't get paid? Otherwise What a total shitshow. It's the classic "you can't fire me! I quit!" but in reverse. This is the end result of years of hapless flailing by the Bengals FO. It's entertaining even though I doubt they'll learn anything from it. At worst Glenn is merely the agent parting the fool from his money.

His team is valued around $2 billion, he could sell it and keep right on doing whatever he wants but that would deprive him of a soapbox.

They have to form a tunnel with their arms to make the players happy too.

Ultimately Glenn is just following the lead of the Bengals ownership, they're fleecing the city and their fans, and Glenn is doing the same thing to them. Turnabout is fair play.

This is a top tier football organization. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Washington could get Williams on the field first thing tomorrow by threatening to trade him here

I don't know what happened but if I was a Bengal injured player I would always want a second opinion from a real medical doctor. Of course maybe they wanted Glenn to get a second opinion and he refused.

Jim Turner, strikes again. The line being a shit-show, between the "retirements", the guys who have flat quit, the injuries and the WEIRD FUCKING DECISION to go all in on Hart goes back to Taylor's decision to hire his bullying friend who has never actually coached a good offensive line. This is lower than lost decade kinda stuff.

This is the most interesting story out of the team so far this year I like how they said "obviously not at practice" like they normally have a look-alike for missing players or some other crafty deception. The guy is 6'6" and 350lbs yeah I should think it's obvious if he's not there.

Yeah, he's actually looked fairly decent considering. He's not dominating or anything but I haven't seen him rolling around on his back like an overturned tortoise all game, which is something. IDK that he's a long-term answer yet but at least there's one spot on the OL that's not a total disaster.

Why the hate for Burkhead?

Whatever it takes! Give them red cards and that would stop that nonsense tomorrow. FIFA is weak. I would have said Salah but he is better than "good".

fixt

Sounds great but even Mikey knows it takes 2 to trade but if the Bengals get a first round pick offer for Geno they would be insane to pass. I just don't see any team willing to do it. Same thoughts on AJ.

Sure would, how long are his arms?

ha ha.. you got me

I think he wants to win as validation. He wants to be proven right; that his performative "Nice Guy" Redeemer shit has merit & his stubborn refusal to change was the right move all along. It's about the vindication that would come from winning a SB. Given a choice between admitting he has no clue or losing, well.. Here we are.

Not only are those tattoos just a horrible idea, the artwork is terrible as well. They look like shit.

...and scarred, too...

Pretty hard on the guy, but that is what happens when QB-Save-Us-Fever takes over. Begets this irrational hatred of the former hope-for, and reduces any qualities they had down to waste bin rubbish. Old enough to remember the same thing falling on Norman, and even now-sainted Kenny.

I don't know if those were all Duke moves but yeah... I wouldn't give up on Hopkins yet & one of Jordan or Price should lock down a guard spot this year. If Jerry can hang on at LT he might make a good swing back-up player. Good backs & WR's, the TE group is fine for now. We need OT's & CB/LB on defense or anyone that can tackle FFS.

6'7", 300+ lbs. I wonder if he can play Tackle? That would be nice.

Marlon Humphrey’s is one of them and he’s pretty good.

Because that is "New York's" job

I really don’t know what to say to someone who thinks Ryan Finley would have this team at 3-2 if he were the starting QB. You have ZERO evidence to back up such a claim. Guy has never played a NFL down.

i think it was to avoid a coach just challenging because he had one left and to fish for a play that was iffy and wouldnt of considered normally. for him at worse he lost a time out which time was still stopped . so it turned a 25sec timeout into a 2-5 min. sorta like the last 2 min of a basketball game take 15-20 minutes , plus every hail mary would be challenged for pass interference by which ever side had things not go their way.

Yeah dude they'd be 5-0 if it weren't for that darn Andy Dalton! Thanks for the laugh. He may not be very good but he's a HoF'er compared to most of the people around him.

Based on past history with Bengals staff I think he basically has to fuck up so thoroughly that he resigns. Generate enough bad press/publicity to force the issue so Redeemer doesn't feel like he got his hands dirty.

I suggest that we trade Duke Tobin

yeah..... but he's so much younger.

I don't think they are trying to tank. I think they will do the annual Bengalesque thing to do and pull just enough games out of their ass, catch someone sleeping, be the trap in a trap game for some other team, or pull off a win or two late in the season when playoff bound teams are resting starters and keeping them from injury. They will win enough games to bump out of the top 3, draft 5 or even 6 or lower, and miss out on Herbert or Tua (who scares me as a pro) and draft the next whirlpool warrior. Also, IMHO, I have zero against Zac and am still glad he and the staff are here. If Marvin was still here moping around, clapping his hands and collecting a paycheck I dare say it would be worse. If possible. However, one thing SheBengal said that I buy into (paraphrase/interpret) is he has to realize this isn't the Rams.

FYI - Pinned this for now

Bump...

Mr Go, Paypal will not accept your paypal@fnnsports.com. for some reason. Suggestions? Would prefer to send to you and have you forward.

you're a good dude man... helping out a pal like you are is awesome

Just spitballing. 1. Is he capable of running his situation past a Social Security lawyer to find out if his disability is enough ? A little research on which lawyers are more successful shouldn't be that much of a problem. There are lawyers on this board that might be able to get you in the ballpark. 2. Certain disabled people can actually get the business they work for extra money. From my understanding this occurs with businesses employing over X number of people. In some cases; "...provides reimbursement of up to 75 percent of the paid salary in the first year of employment, up to 50 percent in the second year of employment, and up to 25 percent in the third year of employment." In other words it's a win win for both sides of the employment equation.

Haha, i was going to say "And then i turned off my game console"

You just called a complete stranger a "sniffeling" (sniveling?) piece of shit" because he doesn't like the same politician as you. Does that seem like the actions of a rational person to you? You brain-dead goosestepping ignorant bootlicking bitch?
