2019 NFL Season

[GAC]

Was this not obvious to the Bengals or did they not care if they lost?

It was reported in the story when it first came out that Dalton was benched, Finley to start, that the Bengals were impressed by his performance in the pre-season. That was a factor (according to the Bengals). And as the losses continued to pile up, Dalton struggling, they probably said to themselves "We ain't going anywhere the way it is! What's to hurt! Let's give Finley a try". And did so without any consideration on how it would affect Dalton. Yeah, IMO, they did Andy wrong. So they better draft Burrows.

But then the question arises ... Are they going to find a taker for Dalton (17.5M), and throw Burrows to the fire? A very bad move with this O-line and an inexperienced QB. But that's the trend these days ... or Dalton's your starter next year mentoring Burrows?

IMO, I don't think the Bengals reached a point this season were they said the heck with it, and started throwing games. These two so-called professional football teams in Ohia have shown themselves over an over how inept and stupid they can be in their decision-making abilities

LOL...that Bears last play....down by 8, they go with the laterals down the field....get all the way inside the 5 yard line!

Talk about your rebuild...on SNF, they said BUF has only 3 players that were on the team from 2016.

Same as it ever was. The Patriots might be a bunch of cheating SOBs but they aren't going to get rid of a guy like that if they don't think he's going to backslide. Too bad for him.

Will Grier getting the start for the Panthers this weekend.

It was fun watching Brees pass Manning on the TD list. What do you guys think, in 2040 is Bengals QB Joe Burrow passing Brees?

Yes but that won't put him into first all time.

Vikings dodged a bullet with Cook.

Dan Patrick had a great take today. Great advice for someone like me, actually.

The demise predictions only follow the Hall-of-Fame predictions. Can't have it both ways.

Well, isn't this special...

The comments from the Cleveland fans are, uh, spicy.

I can put my "biases" aside ... and I'm one Brown's fan whose hate for Modell is not like seven burning suns (more to it IMO) .... yeah, I have no issues with him being on the ballot.

Might as well nominate Mike Brown too...
