One of most infuriating picks to me was the Bengals taking Ced and Dupree going one pick later. It’s the UK homer in me I admit it.

I'm not sure I'd want to be the team that pays a TJ Watt-less Bud Dupree.

Even at a discount due to injury?

Until he decides he can't take the losing anymore.

Kidding aside, there has been a ton of things happen that indicate things have changed for the better. We got blindsided by injuries on Defense which would have give the Offense a much better average starting position on drives. Makes a difference.

I'm guessing the answer is for 2 more years. I doubt the Bengals would let him go early because of $. But, if they don't win at least 3 of their first 8 games next year . . .

It was apparently on Wednesday - they just didn't announce it for a day.

Zac Taylor was hired as an "offensive guru" because he once talked to Sean McVay. His offenses really haven't been that great. He even traded up for a QB in the 4th round last year and he'll be off the team next season. If he's not even good at what he was hired for, then what good is he?

He's good at being under contract for another 2 years.

That happens more often than it doesn't. A team hires a Head Coach who earned his reputation as an excellent Defensive or Offensive Coordinator. He then gets the Head Coaching gig where he has to delegate everything. The message gets lost in translation and what he was known for actually becomes a weakness with the new team.

MIA is helping them a ton by starting Tua.

All of Miami's RB's are hurt, including Gaskin, who hasn't practiced in three week and was activated yesterday (or was it today?), and they start a very, very bad QB. They basically completely disrespected the Bengals and Cincinnati is responding. I hope the Bengals crush them for this, but I really do hope the Bengals can retain the #3 pick. Don't think Sewell will be there, but at least it gives them a chance of getting him.

Tyler Boyd & Xavien Howard tossed for throwing punches.

Wow! What a horrible call. should have been instant personal foul for shoving Boyd when he was out of bounds. That should have been a 15-yard penalty and 1st and Goal for the Bengals. Neither Boyd or Howard did enough to get tossed from the game and no flags should have been thrown on them. That's patty-cake stuff they did, not throwing punches.

Ridiculous.
