Herbert has way too much arm talent to be a losing QB.
It shows how many variables (many of them mental and not physical) go into winning at the position.
His coach is awful and he's supposed to be a defensive guy but their defense is horrible. Not sure how Staley keeps that job, they underperform every year and he's still employed.

I would counter this by pointing out that his strip of Kincaid is the main reason why the Bengals beat the Bills.
Pratt is one of the team's 10 best players and not a problem to worry about. He is very clutch and re-signed for a bargain rate of maybe 60% of what he could have gotten from another team because of Burrow and wanting to win.
So I refuse to dog pile on Pratt.
Fair point, but he also says a lot of dumb shit...like when he went after Ossai in the tunnel after they lost the game last year to the Chiefs, that was bull shit and very immature, not something a winner or leader would do. He recognized it and apologized so that's cool, in the heat of the moment, I understand.
But the defense did get smoked and he's supposed to be a leader on the defense, so why is he going on social media talking shit about what could have happened in an alternative reality in which Joe Burrow didn't get hurt...once Burrow got hurt the defense was deflated and did pick up the slack and I don't remember Pratt doing much that whole game so I'm not sure why he felt the need to go online pop off to a team that beat their ass twice...that's some clown shit.
I like Pratt, but yeah, he needs to sit down and shut up sometimes.

The stealerz don't look too fuckin' good. Are we getting Hubbard back this week?
I don't think Pickett is much better than Browning and we have better offensive weapons. My only concerns are will the defense tackle and will Zac get out coached.

What's wild is left wing politics traditionally (maybe not as recently) are about fighting for the working class. Right wing politics almost always are about fighting for the rich.
Which one is selfish?
I always find it amazing when people go against what's best for themselves and people like them in favor of a corporation or some rich person who has nothing in common with you and couldn't care less about you.
It's like they believe that if they blindly follow this entity or individual then maybe they will be able to have what that person or entity has, it's the oldest trick in the book and people still fall for it. It reminds me of Screech from Save By the Bell, being Zac Morris's lackey/punching bag, no matter what Screech did he wouldn't be Zac Morris..

Just STFU and wrap up instead of going for the strip every time.
Agreed, Pratt shoud stfu and focus on getting better on defense. They gave up 34 points and he didn't do much to stop it, regardless of who is playing QB giving up 34 points is awful. The more Pratt opens his mouth the more he comes off like a clown. You can easily say he lost the Texans game by not getting Noah Brown to the ground but instead going for the strip and letting him pick up 10 extra yards.
Pratt seems to not have much of a filter and some questionable decision-making. He doesn't handle adversity well and looks to blame others quickly, not what you want from a leader. Losing Burrow is a tough blow but hopefully, the defense can step up and be a dominant unit because that's what it's going to take for this team to be successful. They have enough talent on defense and offense to win games, the Browns just beat the Stealers with a backup QB and RB because the defense is balling, hopefully, Pratt can increase his level of play and lead the defense to play at a higher level..and it starts by actually tackling guys instead of going for the strip...

How is this any different from what you do? I guess when you do it's ok because you're right or justified for some reason.

QuoteDawson is one of the names underworld figures that the NFL cited Karras was linked to when suspending him due to his gambling and unsavory social companions for the entire 1963 season. His name was tied to other NFL stars, according to FBI documents from the era, including the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson (unrelated). When he was arrested, the FBI hailed the bust as taking down “one of the biggest and most influential bookies in the country” In an interview with author Dan Moldea for Moldea’s book “Interference — How Organized Crime Influences Pro Football” — published in 1989 — Dawson admitted to coordinating point-shaving schemes in more than 30 NFL games, asserting that Layne, a Lions’ all-time great under center at quarterback, was one of the players he used to manipulate outcomes.

Just curious..who would those “gentlemen” be?
Art Rooney, Charles Bidwell, Tim Mara, McBride, Modell, Glick are some of the oldest names in the NFL...not to mention DiBartolo and Al Davis for more recent names...

Bart Scott's comments from the past make sense now. I'm sure they're dancing on his 2023 grave in the Baltimore locker room.
I dunno about that, Bart Scott clearly has CTE and Burrow was hurt going into the game, I didn't see them trying to hurt him.

He certainly should not have played the first 2 games maybe 3
I agree, maybe the Bengals would have won one of those games with Browning and he would have had more experience, we all know a one-legged Joe Burrow was not getting the job done.

Speaking of gambling...
Class action lawsuit against Bengals coming, Barstool Sports founder says
CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Barstool Sports founder and owner Dave Portnoy says he is filing a class action lawsuit against the Cincinnati Bengals and NFL.
Portnoy posted a screenshot around 7:30 p.m. Thursday of a $120,000 bet he placed on the Bengals to cover the four-point spread against the Baltimore Ravens.
Just a few hours later, star quarterback Joe Burrow left the game with an injury to his right wrist.
The injury caught the spotlight not just for what it meant to the Bengals’ season, but also because of the possibility Cincinnati knew Burrow might have been injured before the game.
The Bengals tweeted out a photo on Wednesday of Burrow walking off the team plane. In the photo, you can see a wrap around his right wrist. The Bengals tweet was later deleted. Some on social media have claimed it was an iPad glove on his wrist rather.
With ESPN’s Adam Schefter reporting that the NFL is now investigating the Bengals to determine if Cincinnati violated the league’s injury report policy, Portnoy wrote on X that he is filing a class action lawsuit against the franchise.
“There is no shot I put 100k hard earned dollars on the Bengals if I knew Joe Burrow was injured going into the game,” Portnoy wrote.
It's called gambling buddy...those are the breaks...pun intended..what a crybaby, nobody forced you to make a bet...clown.
But the Bengals will probably get fined because it's the Bengals and they bungled the cover-up, shouldn't have deleted the video.

I would rather see AJ McCarron to be honest with you, but Browning seemed capable. I think he should have had more opportunities this year considering how hurt Burrow has been, the coaching staff has to got to protect him from himself, because he will clearly play injured even if it hurts the team, he's like the knight in the Monty Python sketch..

Exactly and I think it goes beyond that.
The decision to play if injured be it calf or now possibly sprained wrist
should be made by the head coach, not the player which seems to be happening
here.
Of course, if he sees something and as Ja'Marr says, "He's the smartest guy I know",
change it.
But ultimately it is Zac who will be held responsible and accountable.
I think the fact that Zac Taylor was literally one of, if not, the worst coaches in NFL history(going by win percentage) before Burrow came to town is why he has more say in the organization than Taylor...let's not forget Taylor hand-picked Ryan Finley to be his guy, even traded up to get him because the league was soo hot that noodled arm twig of a QB...so I can see why Burrow is like, hold my beer Zachory... I got this, but at some point, he needs to assert dominance like the alpha male he aspires to be and put his foot down on ol Shiesty...

Right? Gambling is an entirely different game, and no NFL decision should ever be made on behalf of gamblers.
🤣 c'mon man....why do you think the NFL and all sports leagues encourage gambling, it's a huge source of revenue and increases interest in the games. When two small market teams play a preseason game, why do think it gets national TV coverage and people gamble on the game?
-
The Bengals will probably be fined because the lack of info on Joe's wrist affected the line on the game and that's a big no no...the NFL was founded by men who were heavily involved in gambling, like a syndicate of organized crime if you will..so yeah, they care a lot about how injury info affects the line for gambling on games.

To be fair some of that is on Joe, they call the plays and he has the option to take the pass
Whoever it is, they need to fix it. if it's on Joe then the HC needs to hold him accountable and get him to run the play that is called.

Straighten out the running game we are last in the league
That is because the HC doesn't commit to the run, which is mind-boggling with a banged-up QB and a line that struggles to pass block it would make sense to run the ball to protect both parties. Mixon is currently 9th in rushing yards but the Bengals don't rush the ball consistently enough to get a flow going, too pass-happy. We definitely have to get more talent on the offensive line tho, specifically at LG and RT, because I don't expect Jonah to return and Volson sucks.

He sexually assaulted 20+ women, with several alleging actions that would meet the definition of rape.
Fuck him, this was not going to "exotic asian massage" and asking for a "happy ending", he was going on Instagram and choosing therapists he liked, inviting them to his house as an NFL QB (who wouldn't go for such a high profile client?), and then cornering them alone so he could assault them.
I'm glad he's injured, shame it's not permanent.
If it was so bad then why did several of the women come back to Watson's home to provide services after the initial alleged assault? Why did not a single woman go to the police after their alleged sexual assault? The police investigated and found no evidence to press charges, so unless you know more about this than the police and the DA then you should stop acting like you were in the room.
No one forced these women to do anything, they saw a payday and went for it. I refuse to believe that if some crime took place with over 20 women and not a single one reported it to the police, but only after a civil case in which there was a possibility of payday did all of these women come out of the blue with accusations. A lot of these women were Instagram "models" who didn't know the first thing about a massage, they were there for a sexual encounter and took advantage of a situation to get paid in a civil suit.
To call him a rapist is going too far, no one accused him of that nor did the police find any evidence that said he did anything like rape.

Die Stealers Die Week (Act 1)
in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
Posted
The Stealers are starting to fall apart, last week it was Pickens having a hissy fit, this week it was Diontae Johnson trying to fight one of his coaches..
https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/diontae-johnson-had-to-be-pulled-away-from-a-member-of-coaching-staff-on-sunday
The Stealers have had some issues at WR recently, from Antonio Brown and Chase Claypool being kicked off the team to the recent guys they seem to have issues keeping their WR's happy/sane.
If the Bengals' defense can limit their WRs early I can see frustration setting in and the Stealers having a rough day and this team imploding..they are on the edge of falling off a cliff and holding players-only meetings discuss how bad they are, I can see lots of finger pointing and yelling...
