T-Dub Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 4 hours ago, Le Tigre said: All well and good. But, reportedly, they barely have enough money left over after the extension of the century for bus fare. The annual poor-mouthing from Hobson is an off-season tradition. If it wasn't for Burrow it'd be saving for injury settlements in 2047. The cap goes up every year and every year the team offers excuses as to why they can't afford to match it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like "BurrowHead" or "We're the team to beat" shit from the get go. Obviously the Bengals are my team, but shit talk AFTER you whoop ass, not before. I kind of think 10 wins was making them puff their chests a bit early too. I felt this team let overconfidence get the better of them a couple of times dating back to last year. They pulled out a good win in the season opener against Minnesota and then seemed to mail it in the next week in Chicago. The got a big win in Baltimore in October and then came out flat against the Jets the next week. I'm not in the locker room, so I obviously don't know what the mindset or demeanor of the team was as a whole, but that's just an observation from my couch. Being admittedly older, I despise the trash talk, from our side or from the other. I think Zac needs to address it next season (perhaps even with himself). There are apparently a lot of good things going on in that locker room and with that team, but the trash talking definitely ain't one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentally I had prepped myself for not winning the SB about midway through the season. It had become apparent to me once we shifted the scheme to had to live in shotgun because the Oline starters weren't cutting it which made me realize the backups were bad (though I am very pleasantly surprised with Carmen). Truth is we're likely another offseason away depending on the moves we make. That we got as far as we did is a testament to the coaching staff and Burrow making the mid-season changes they made, but those changes were kind of a band-aid then they were about the things we really needed to fix. So I'm good other than having Chiefs fans be obnoxious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I was never into Chad's trashtalk. Or Pac's. And the talk last week from Apple and inadvertantly from Hilton (AND THE FUCKING MAYOR) definitely harshed my mellow going into that game. Just let your play do your talking, really. It's not why they lost that game, but it sure did seem to give the Chiefs a little extra fire even where they should not have needed any. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 And, oh yeah. Definitely fuck the Chiefs and their fanbase. Go Eagles 100 times out of 100. I hope it is a blowout bloodbath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is year 3 though, develop some guys already. Ossai is an idiot, but we all do dumb things. He is more good than bad though, so just move on to the next play. Bowl in 2024. I'd say Mike Hilton is to for the Burrowhead comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly reminds me of the criticisms we had of Whitworth early in his career when he made the move to LT after starting at Guard. If Carman can turnout even close to that we may be ok long term at the position. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like an overgrown kid in some ways, I think people usually took it that way. Mostly ridiculous or lighthearted. He stepped in it sometimes but it was never nasty or mean-spirited. Pac, DreK & Apple OTOH seem cut from the same cloth. Too much twitter beef, too much back & forth, too much Billy Badass posturing & lack of self control. We've got a whole bunch of defensive players content to let their pads do the talking. Get the immature social media keyboard warriors outta here.

The stories about Chad in the locker room during playoffs is way too much smoke to be nothing. I like the guy, but he was a selfserving clown who lost his shit when he and the team couldn't back it up. An earlier version of Diggs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see him standing next to Collins or Adeniji or Carman he doesn't look nearly as large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
