Why the fuck is this loser back? 😲 

 

Bengals getting cooked in the comments ...

 

 

:facepalm:

 

I was kind of chastising myself for not being able to shake the feeling, even after yesterday's game, that I'm still watching a 6 win team.

 

Moves like this are why I have those doubts.

 

Ok after looking into this they have to activate him to cut him without an injury settlement.  So I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that is the plan.

 

Sorry to say, I'm still not seeing a lot of wins on the schedule, though.

Maybe trying to trade him to some fool before cutting him like they did with Mixon.

Now we're back to a "neck stinger" that put his arm in a sling. Medic? Any pros on here care to speculate? 

 

Guess we'll see if he's able to work this week.  Sure hope so as he's the only Bengals pass rush that's not a blitz.  Not a joke, the only other solo sack belongs to Dax.  5 total on the season with one shared.  That's worse than everyone but Carolina & the Falcons (something to keep in mind when judging our OL based on a good day vs the Panthers)

I believe it is never in a teams' best interest to have a player lose his job because he was injured.  If players worry that getting injured will result in them becoming unemployed, they will naturally be more gunshy and less willing to take risks for the team.

 

Here, Robbins should be given the chance to win the Punting job.  I don't think anyone here thinks he would win, based on what we've seen from Rehkow, but he should be given the chance.  If he loses the job it needs to be because Rehkow won it head-to-head, not because Rehkow "wowed" the team while Robbins was on the shelf.

Are you joking?  Nah, he already lost his job.  Dude is horrible.  He had his shot.  If they bring him back to play, then they are just plain ignorant.

Anyone else surprised the Bengals are just 2.5 point underdogs, given the way Baltimore played last night? 

 

not at home, id have guessed 3.5 or 4.5, so i guess i expected higher, but not shocked, the bills suck, they lost to the raiders at home, lost to KC by more than we did, and our offense is putting up points, i personally think we may be fucked, but seems like an OK spread to get some early action, i expect that to move 2-3 points by saturday id imagine, oh hell maybe its a little odd with treys injury, i expect him to play, but if oddsmakers are 50/50 thats a swing in itself.

merits to both sides, but i think the never lose your job to injury applies to everyone but kickers/punters, cause you can just carry a bunch. 

 

he didnt have a great year last year, but ended up doing ok, Rehkow has been killing it, so its a clear cut thing, but i get the idea.

Dear Lou,  This is something we don't see very often.  A Bengal making a tackle.

Take a clue, Lou

 

loud has absolutely nothing to do with tackling, wtf are you talking about?

Go Cowboinks (gag)... v Squeels

 

Go Us.

 

The Redskins are on my shit list right now, and will be even more so if they lose to Cleveland after what they did to the Bengals.
