GoBengals

not a fan of the projects in the CB group currently. hopefully a veteran hits the waiver wire in the offseason here and we can add there as well

i dunno how this guy makes the roster.

really liking everything about this pick honestly. seems like a great addition with the soft group we had in the middle.

not super impressed with the film for whatever reason. minimal expectations but adding a guy is good. we shall see.

im at a loss of opinion (for once). Its so incredibly tough to judge a guy in this type of position, but in the third even a rotational solid guy is a win. so we shall see.

seems like a stretch, certainly has great hands and is strong, physical, didnt really see top speed at all in the highlights, but plays well in traffic, some incredible grabs. used to playing in wild weather in michigan and iowa.

the schools thing doesnt bother me, my kid prolly has 1% the talent this kid does, but we discussed school changes all 4 years of high school, including out of state, and IMG academy, especially in florida jumping schools and academies is normal and in your best interests, competition is strong, new staff or boosters bring in favoritism instead of competition, so THAT part doesnt bother me. Swinging on the chick on the field also doesnt bother me, i dont condone hitting women in general, but when women wanna do man shit they get to be treated like a man, whose to say what she said to him, but the dumbass chick slowed to talk shit to his face while storming the field, not the most mature reaction, but with emotion and frustration and adrenalin going in that moment you can see how those events transpired, and i dont see much indication that they will be repeated. biggest problem being, that reputation tends to CAUSE those situations, see Pacman, where bitches will fuck with you TRYING to get you to act up. so he will need to mature even more than he likely already has.

I like that idea, but i dunno how much they want to mix and match linemen, continuity is key, risking Joe cause a Brown could use a breather seems like a sketchy plan. But getting Mims snaps is key. hopefully lots of blowouts and he can get 2 series of snaps to finish each game.

is that volson in the middle, where the big hole is?

paid by the word.

Given the absolute thieves the bengals have become trying to steal my tickets, games i cannot make, i will have for sale at face value or REALLY close, at minimum way cheaper than market value. So if you need a pair or two pairs, let me know, I am in section 111 and 106, behind the bengals sideline/bench. figured id post it so its on peoples minds when the season hits. Ill post week by week or as I know my travel plans as they arrive.

yea im so grumpy i pay the little extra to skip the commercials, they almost seem worse placed than regular commercial breaks, its not quite like they interupt a sentence in a show for the ad but sometimes it feels like it, same with youtube, pay for the premium to not have ads. youre paying with your time or with your wallet, either way your paying. I am glad hulu is a solid product, they were all so sketchy 3-4 years ago, but most seems good now. I onder if we ever get to an a la carte style or if everything keeps bundling to mimic the cable packages we escaped to begin with. sounds like the sports leagues realized they were CARRYING some cable network packages and can get a GIANT increase in cut revenue per customer to the pennies they got for cable packages. which im all for it. MLB.tv is like $100/year for reds, like a dollar a game. NBA is $15/mo, so about a dollar a game, NFL is like $20/game, but whose not gonna pay it? so few games so important each, people can miss a month of baseball and be fine, missing a week of NBA games and be fine.. missing a weekly football game can change a season..

welp guess not, were up 23, just stopped trying... almost seemed intentional

man watson and Braun played out vs the wolves too. great game, fun game, murray looking good but out of shape. gotta be the trash spurs and trash grizzlies to win the 1 seed. spurs tonight grizz sunday

sounding like most reliable pre draft sourcing saying all of the OT talent is in the first round, and like ZERO in the second round, then some 3rd round value again... interesting to see how this plays out.

yea he said this a while ago, not sure why there were so many articles from hacks saying it was worrisome they havent negotiated yet. i saw at least 5 articles with titles roughly stating "bengals fans should be worried" sort of thing.

yea those picks were killer, but every roster is full of a rotation of lunch pale guys doing dirty work, there are 88 total pro bowlers each year. and 96+ first three round picks. id have to consider a pro bowl selection to be too tight of a goal for all top 3 round picks. hell in a 5 year span there are 160 first round picks.

that pff show/podcast is so fucking terrible. its so so so so bad i keep trying it out and its so worthless. just dudes looking at average data sheets and acting like they have in depth analysis and knowledge of everything. they absolutely fucking suck and also act smug as fuck. i hate them so much.

i am actually shocked that pro bowl is the leading answer. no wonder everyone says we cant draft for shit.

i think this is the big misconception, if you go look at the first round in 2017, theres about 6 guys who were busts and hopped around and never got past the 4 years into even a 5th year option. then there are the deshawn watson types, still in the league, mega contract, but was that a successful pick? traded him for lots of draft capital and stuff, but as a pick, thats a bust IMO, so there is some wiggle room, but if we did thise for all 3 rounds, id bet we are somewhere around 50-60% success rate. so thats what got me thinking about what a successful pick is. many of the options above would have Gio Bernard as an unsuccessful pick, which i think is bananas. this would put you as a great pick IMO. which qualifies of course, but its the next level for me. shouldnt be anyone ahead of them for the first two rounds, 3rd rounders, sure. but its rare for a first and even second round pick to be facing a depth chart at all. as far as who else is available, thats a slippery slope. not sure anyone ever has any successful picks in that case, i think TJ watt was damn near the end of the round. everyone fucked up lol he fucking sucks. tape shows, it, stats show it, lets hope, again, this offseason was a productive one. cause it would be sweet if he wasnt so fucking bad. imagine getting a million dollars cause you sucked but still played lots of snaps. if i performed at his level at my job id ahve been fired 7 years ago. low bar, but reasonable, especially for the end and 3rd rounders. a first rounder sitting sround not being productive for two years would be tough, but if it panned out longer term it would be ok. yea thats the loftiest goal, with that bar the bengals ahve had like 6 successful draft picks in the last 15 years. same across the league.

Wemby is a madman, 9 blocks vs the nuggets tonight, luckily jokic went for 42pts 16 rebounds and 6 assists, probably could have had 20 assists if guys hit their open shots. Murray still out. hopefully he returns for the clippers thursday if not i would fully expect him back saturday for the Hawks. Gordon took a hell of a fall on a foul tonight, hopefully he is alright. was late to postgame interviews due to treatment. nuggets currently in first place over OKV and wolves by .5 games, however tied in the loss column. and they have zero tiebreakers with either team so may as well all be tied. if everyone wins out, the nuggets are 3rd place okc and wolves on back to back games tonight and tomorrow, OKC SHOULD lose, wolves SHOULD win. wolves do face nuggets next week so i guess they cant all win out..that game could very well be for first place in the west.

hows the hulu been? I am stuck in a cycle of hell with needing youtube TV for nfl sunday ticket, and needing directv stream for nuggets games, so from october to january i need them both, then i can cancel YTTV until next september, and i can cancel Directv stream from april to october, so i oddly dont need any of them from april to september, and need both from october to january, then only need DTTVS from january to april. 1-2 more years until the NBA fixes its shit tv deal mess and i wont need directv nymore.

yall in here actin silly.

lets say it for the first 3 rounds, as anything 4th and later is too wide of a range as some never even play, some win 6 superbowls and become hall of famers. What are your thoughts?

murray been out 4 games, been rough, also just ice cold shooting, were 10/40 from 3 against the wolves. same the game before, also BLOWING fast break points, they were 2/17 on fast breaks. which is ASTRONOMICALLY low. like never seen that before low. were back clicking even without murray today, shot 63% from 3 pt hit 21, tied season record. roughed up the Cavs by 30. jokic a 26/16/15 triple double. they claim luca has passed jokic in the MVP race. which would be a crime. then again last year was a absolute robbery giving it to Embiid. and in 2021 giving it to Giannis again. Jokic should have 4 going on 5 MVPs. he has been an unstoppable menace. Nuggets placy the wolves next week again, if they win that they have a good chance of winning out, depending who they rest and when. i think they only play 1 other team with a winning record. Spurs twice, Hawks, Jazz, memphis, then clippers and wolves are the two decent teams. OKC plays a road back to back against the 76ers and then Boston the next night. if they drop BOTH of those, the nuggets have a solid shot at the 1 seed. a 1 seed would likely earn Jokic the MVP. Murray has now missed 21 games he is eliminated from any awards, meaning he cannot sign a SUPER MAX extension contract this offseason, just a MAX contract. which is like a 100million difference. he can risk it and not sign the deal and play next year hoping to make all star or all nba teams, but if he gets hurt, itll cost him 30-50 million most likely. Nuggets in 2nd place, half game up on Wolves, tied with OKC but losing tie breaker. they lose tie breaker with Wolves and Thunder no matter what.
