Posted September 16, 2024Sep 16 comment_1763171 First the play in question ... Where Chase was upset because he believed it was a hip drop tackle, which are now banned ...
September 16, 2024Sep 16 Author comment_1763174 Zac also was trying to calm Chase down after the play ...
September 16, 2024Sep 16 comment_1763176 Jamar has more than once let that team get in his head. He needs to work on that.
September 16, 2024Sep 16 Author comment_1763179 Ref claims the flag was because he used profanity ... Fuck this ref!
September 16, 2024Sep 16 Author comment_1763182 It's hard not to come to the conclusion that the inability to get a contract extension has thrown off his play and energy personally and perhaps the team locker room. I still feel like this team needs to get that issue resolved, so they can have "all hands on deck". Even though reports are Chase took out a $50 million dollar insurance policy against injury and is done negotiating until after the season.
September 16, 2024Sep 16 Author comment_1763184 Additionally, he's drawing double teams every play with Tee not out there, so he's creating opportunities for others, but he's such a playmaker that he's not going to be satisfied as a valuable decoy. Most of the Twitterati just sees his lack of catches and yards and thinks he's stinking it up and doing nothing for the team, when actually most of the other's catches come on his side of the field because he draws all the coverage.
September 16, 2024Sep 16 comment_1763186 At least we know the Bengals aren't the dog-shit team we saw against New England...Cincy went toe-to-toe with perennial super bowl power Kansas City on the road and nearly came away with a win...there's 15 games left to the regular season, let's win all 15!
September 16, 2024Sep 16 comment_1763188 If you expect to get paid $350,000 for every pass you catch, you'd better not put your team behind the 8-ball because you can't control your emotions in a crucial moment of a huge game. Chase sat out weeks of practice and was therefore of limited use in a game last week where he could've made an enormously greater difference had he been fully integrated into the offense. Now, he turns a make-able 3rd-and-7 into an impossible 3rd-and-22 in a game that just handed KC the tie-breaker. We've now thrown away 2 games (yet again) to start the season. And this time, Chase has been a big part of that.
September 16, 2024Sep 16 Author comment_1763189 The psychoanalyst in me sees a different Ja'Marr in his eyes. I would guess he feels hurt and underappreciated because of the way the contract talks went. He's also likely catching a different vibe from teammates who may be a little uneasy around him as well. Nobody will be able to convince me that if this team extended him 2 months ago, this team wouldn't be 2-0. But now the question is where they go from here?
September 16, 2024Sep 16 Author comment_1763192 It sure looks like it ... ... So if the ref told Ja'Marr "Get the fuck out of my face" and he then cursed back and got the flag, that would be some home cooking bullshit.

If not being made the NFL's highest paid WR with 2 years remaining on his contract completely derails his game like this he does not deserve that kind of extension. Sitting out of practices & dragging the team down with a lack of focus in big moments does not equal "better give him whatever he wants!" for me. Quite the contrary.

The vibe is obviously off to me. And now he's having a Burfict / Pac Man reaction on the field, which isn't like him.

He did it when Eric Reid goaded him into making that "dollar dollar bills" sign that ended up getting him a flag. He needs to learn to not let that team in his head.

September 16, 2024Sep 16 comment_1763214 I agree that Chase is probably letting the contract thing bother him. Being pretty much shut down for two weeks isn’t helping. He needs to find a way to separate business and the game.
