  1. This. Post what you want as long as you aren’t hurting anyone or breaking rules. Something for everyone.
  2. God forbid I, or anyone, else speculates or has an opinion. Look at the bright side. It gives you a chance to come in, piss all over everything, and continue to feel superior about yourself. I should feel blessed that I have you to let me know I am making shit up and know absolutely nothing. I will try to remain grateful for your reposts of other people’s ideas and pictures.
  3. Chris Jones is a nice player, but not in Aaron Donald's class.
  4. That's tough stuff for an agent to swallow. If Burrow takes a discount or less guaranteed money his agent looks bad. This stuff is hard. Higgins' agent wasn't only Bates agent, but Watson's. He's known to get top dollar. Hard stuff.
  5. What is the entire board aside from speculation, pictures, and people re-posting tweets? Of course no one knows anything, but we talk about it anyway. I guess we should take down this thread, any game or season predictions threads, ban threads about the draft or free agents? What's left? It's a damn fan board. People have opinions. If you don't want to read them just skip the thread.
  6. I see point #1, but not point #2. Why even tell the public you are working on a deal if you think like Brandt does on point #2. Getting paid now is the big insurance policy. I still think the Brown family is dragging their feet on as much guaranteed money that both Burrow and Higgins' agents want. I think the total numbers are pretty much set. It's just how much will be guaranteed.
  7. Where else is he going to find captains? Trade? He does that too. I mean they’ve put together a good squad, but somebody has to be captain and Duke Tobin is connected to every player.
  8. They have said he needed to upgrade his technique, which makes sense for a rookie. Guy probably got by on superior athleticism in college, but that rarely works in the NFL. Give him time to learn. Wasn’t drafted to step in day 1. Thinking you can judge a guy’s heart from the living room after watching a few plays is silly.
  9. Prefer the Bengals Growl. Classic fight song. Brings back memories of when they had the bandstand behind the end zone in riverfront.
  10. He’s a good second year player. I would avoid setting crazy expectations. He’s still pretty green.
  11. I’m going with 11-6 as well. Figure they’ll get off to a slow start again. Will be pleasantly surprised if they win week one in Cleveland.
  12. When they say “high ankle sprain” you can automatically count on a guy being out 4-6 weeks. Frustrating injury. Slow to heal and you look fine walking and even running in a straight line.
  13. I don't think it's serious, just that a potential re-injury is possible if not completely healed. The fact that Burrow was wearing that sleeve suggests he already had some issues going on there. It makes sense to keep him from doing anything strenuous on that leg for as long as possible. I bet he takes it easy this week. My prediction is that he will start ramping it up next week in practice. If not, he may get held out against Cleveland.
  14. I am wondering the same thing. Burrow goes out before the first preseason game and looks good throwing the ball around and hasn't been seen since. I don't doubt Burrow hurt his calf, but I can see him being very, very cautious without an extension. Maybe even an injury hold out. It's very odd he's been so out of sight.
