T-Dub

Yeah I kind of thought so too actually but he doesn't seem very disruptive & was getting shoved around a lot. When he did get loose it looked like he was running in sand & I suspect was left unblocked by design. A static DT with no burst or quickness to him isn't going to fare well as a 3T.

I thought the rush in general looked slow in pursuit. With a couple of exceptions whenever Brisket rolled out he was able to escape pretty easily. Rankins in particular looked bad to me. Carter played a bunch and I thought Hill was still on the field a lot of that time? Seems like a better combo for now.

Let one guy sit and the rest are going to wonder why they're out there sweating.

Exactly, it's not like it'd prevent him from sending in a play whenever he felt like it. Just think given the results so far it'd be good to have someone focused solely on that responsibility.

Burrow has just shy of $150M guaranteed, he can sit out too. Better hurry up and give Chase another $50-100M guaranteed. The 3 of them can order some wings, kick back, watch the game from the best seats in the house and get paid far better than anyone stuck buying tickets. Shit's cancer.

Let the pearl-clutching commence

Why worry about winning a Super Bowl if your fans and the media are going to act like you win it every year regardless of your actual record?

30 seconds of coach speak after a loss but the coach is Taylor Swift and she's drunk

Think you're overreacting. What HC has a winning record with backup QBs? I do think he should probably hire a real OC and let them call plays most of the time.. Though I'd like to know how often Burrow is changing the play himself. Hate to say it but I think our man's looking a bit shell-shocked out there. Not hard to understand when he's spent half his young career on IR and been the most-sacked QB in the NFL when he wasn't. I do think the OL is somewhat improved but I don't know that they've improved enough to make him start trusting them again. Sacked 3 times yesterday, hit IDK how many, apparently re-aggravated the injury that took him out last year... Sad fact is this FO is destroying the confidence of possibly the best QB they've ever had on the roster.

Being PFF, I'd take that to mean Wilson had a good game & the other 4 didn't noticeably screw anything up. Until they can explain clearly why Orlando Brown was 0.1 better than Zach Carter I'll interpret these more like letter grades. Meaning the rest of the top 5 only managed a "C", which sounds about right from what I watched yesterday. I do wonder how they graded the other 3 linemen.

Accountability is going to be a hard sell when everyone knows they could win 4 games then draft total busts at the top of every round & no one would get fired. Imagine a bunch of people in their positions strictly due to nepotism telling their tenured PR men coaches to tell you to be more accountable. 🤣 It starts at the top.

Yeah there's a "years issue". Sign for 3, play one, then right back to this bullshit for another extension? No thanks.

The "keys" Taylor handed over:

Nah. If we still had Dalton that might make sense. Burrow has consistently shown he's on their level.

Yeah, again.. 4/5 of the starters were fairly accomplished FA's, every one of them has a ring (Karras has 2) and both OT's were Pro Bowlers (4x for OBjr). So either all of these accomplished pros suddenly turn to shit when they land in Cincinnati or there's something else making them look bad.
