Guess that depends on if not playing hurts his value more than playing and further injuring himself thus hirting his value more and if he is risking that would you want him to play?

 

:shrug:  at this point that's really between him & his next team.  It hurts his trade value but trading him would require effort so meh I guess.

 

Can certainly understand not risking anything for a struggling 3-5 team under a franchise tag deal.

I think the team has NEVER needed a win more than they do this Sunday. So in that way, this might be the biggest regular season Bengals game of the Burrow era. 

 

A loss Sunday, and I predict this entire train is coming off the rails. Joe looks like he's about at the end of his rope. And I predict the entire locker room is going to be lost with a loss vs. the lowly Raiders. I also think Zac may not survive to next season with a loss Sunday, as I then think the playoffs are an impossibility; they will be 0-5 at home, and Tee will likely sit out most of the rest of the year to preserve himself for free agency. 

 

Thankfully, I think the Raiders suck bad enough that the Bengals beat them. Because if they don't, I think the whole thing is going to blow up and we can start our draft threads early.

Would that not be better in the long run than muddling along in - dare I say - mediocrity?  Can't fix anything until they admit it's broken.

Already got one of those started! 🙂

 

Seriously though (and this has been a broken record for years on end): if they cannot draft well…what does that even matter?

Nothing is more important to them, which is why Hawk Tua is struggling to read an upside-down playbook in Miami while they scout goat farm/soccer fields for next year's international game in Fallujah.

A promising career, decimated by injuries. TE is a brutal position, but some bodies simply cannot handle the NFL

 

Yeah can't blame him.

 

Giving him $3M to start 2 games in 2018, after playing in 2 the year before, then offering a million dollar raise to come back & limp through  the next year was probably not smart though.

 

Wonder who made that decision. Couldn't be that sunk cost fallacy we keep arguing over.

I actually get nostalgic for Marvin's days. 

 

Sure, we couldn't win playoff games, but I never feared that the team would be outcoached or outsmarted schematically. Those losses seemed to be a lack of top end talent and inadequacy from the Red Water Pistol.

 

But now I am starting to wonder and have questions about how the actual games are being managed and which plays are being called on offense and defense. 

 

so youre just the bengals fan version of a trump supporter now. got it.

Utterly insignificant point in the grand scheme of things, but...

 

...it was somebody's job to plot the elements of this image. And I have to wonder about their competency. First of all, do we need "ORANGE SOCKS" spelled out to see that the players will be wearing orange socks? But even if that is the way you choose to go, who had the brain spasm to put "ORANGE SOCKS" next to the black jersey, and "BLACK TOPS" next to the orange socks? You compose your image in a way that subliminally reinforces what you're trying to convey. You don't include things that subliminally confuse the viewer. SMH

 

(both of my parents spent parts of their working lives in graphic design/advertising, so I grew up immersed in this stuff)

 

as for the text, i got that one for you, I would have dont the same, and my graphic design class taught me the same, text should use the edge of an imagine as the floor, and they are telling the items in order of importance, jersey, pants, socks, but i get it, the words arent next to the items they are talking about, but that wasnt the intent, just a list of items along the edge, i probably would have ignored the edge rule if someone pointed it out to me tho. or put the text on the left side going down so it lined up.

Yes..

Taylor has become a hazard in play calling.

Guess he thinks Dan Pitcher sucks at it..🙄

Annarumo never blitzed the entire game.

 Guess he thinks the pressure and sacks from the Dline are good 

enough .🙄

 

What a long strange trip we're on..

 

lol

 

Mediocre secondary, two incredible WR's, a athletic QB who avoids pressure very well and has a great arm, bring extra guys out of coverage. what could possibly go wrong?

 

only play call anyone can really cry about is the screen on 4th, the one we have watched jamarr take for a long TD before. id prefer to throw the ball across the line, but that paly has succeed far more than its failed, but the two fails were loud ones.

Looking ahead... like we are not supposed to do...

we play the Raiders Sunday and the following Thursday

at the Rats on a short week.

 

Sunday...

Chargers at Browns

Denver at Rats

Squeels Bye

 

so no OBJ and no Tee this week, should be able to win since we can actually gameplan and get reps for those filling in (also shoutout to Mike G being a vet and stepping into some Tee routes on short notice and being effective for 5-6 plays, big ones)

 

hope the broncos can rough up the ravens, even if they dont win give them some extra bruises.

That is exactly why I don't know keeping him is the best idea.

 

He's a 1A WR but if you aren't available it doesn't matter.

 

i dunno man everyone here says him going out of the lineup 2 days before gameday is no problem and its just bad playcalling or being outcoached or whatever, so let tee go, save the money, amirite?

It's hard to say anything bad about Tee both on and off the field.  It's one thing if these injuries would be freaky things but they're repeated hamstrings and now a quad out of nowhere.  Makes me wonder if this will eventually hurt his eventual $ figure on the open market with a "good" team with cap as opposed to some bottom feeder paying for talent.

 

a team was willing to give watson, a 1 year wonder QB with a pile of sexual assault allegations a quarter billion dollars, there will be no shortage of teams willing to overpay for Tee Higgins.

Can't argue with that but also wonder if he'd be playing if he wasn't under a franchise tag.

 

lol. nothing about tee higgins or these series of injuries or the fact that theyve happened before, points it anything in that regard,

Ok this is not a good sign ... I think Burrow has had enough with this front office ...

 

 

 

so just straight up making up shit now i guess, ties into my first comment. its like you run your own conspiracy channel of terrible bengals takes. no facts, no reality, just take words, twist to some imagine narrative, and roll with it.

 

why the fuck would joe want to sit there in fuck himself with ANY quote about the teams roster, he is attempting to shut down dumbass questions being asked by reporters that he is smart enough to know are baiting him for some partial quote they can use for THIS EXACT PURPOSE. and by god did you fucking find the path to it anyway.

 

its like you blew the candle out yourself, just sitting in the dark pretending you saw something.

but how many games have each of them played?

Jeffersons and Lamb have both had a bye week, Chase has not. If you factor in their per game avg, they’re both ahead of JaMarr. 

 

woah woah woah, dont let the facts get in the way, the world is how BJ sees it, nothing else matters. didnt you hear joe was fed up with the front office by specifically trying not to comment by a dumbass reporter?

I was waiting for this thread to start and I see game predictions covered what I was going to post about and that is will anyone Cover Bowers?  I have a feeling, no.  That is all. 

 

well he has 1 touchdown and has not had a single 100 yard game yet, so probably.

"admit its broken" like the team, coaches, front office dont know they need to improve the secondary, that vonn bell has lost a step and a half since he was last here, that CTB isnt the #1 prospect he showed flashes of, that a dinged up hubbard is worthless so a hubbard with a lost step will be too, that they have 3 young DL players that need to develop quickly, that theyll need to add WR talent in the draft regardless of if Tee leaves or not. that Volson sucks so theyll have to continue investing draft capital into the OL. 

 

its the middle of the season. there are no Good WR, DB, WR, OL, sitting at home. wtf would they even be doing to "fix it" right now? you wnter the season with what you have. 

 

its november... what move is there to be made and for what gain?

if the bengals dont draft well, no one does. 

There are 3 grand slam picks on offense right now.

 

and before someone swings in here talking about "wHeN yOu DraFt So HiGH ItS EaSy

 

Here the last 10-ish top picks

image.png

 

whats that, like 3 of 10? so like 30% even with the best pick in the entire draft...

Joe will carry this team to a win this week and then next Thurs night is pretty much it. A short week physical road game against a division rival, but yOu KnOw PlAyUr SaFeTEe aNd AlL.....

 

5-5 is a must. 

 

 

not having bye weeks prior to TNF is insane.

 

while its not a MUST its pretty close, if you lose to the ravens, 4-6, with 3 divisions games left, you probably need to sweep the steelers if you get swept by the ravens. 

 

it would put us in a back against the wall moment for sure... we can liekly get into the playoffs with 7 loses, so a 6th loss isnt the end of the world, but youll need to go 6-1 from there. which is tough.

 

hopefully tee and OBJ are back by then. on a short week of course.

yea, especially after taking a billion hits in college, Derrick Henry is a freakshow with the reps he got through all stages of his career.

I never bet on the Bengals.  Too much of a homer.

The Raiders are an objectively bad football team. If we can't beat them with Tee and OBJ out we don't deserve to be in any playoff race and should start spending most of the rest of this season talking about FA and the draft.
