That would be an awesome combo. I think I read somewhere that Cincy requested all white for their Color Rush jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briantw Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Gotta love NFL coaches. The Bengals were absolutely gashing the Dolphins via the pass and got the ball around the eleven with AJ Green being completely unguardable. So naturally they run the ball completely ineffectively on the first two downs, leaving them with basically a goal to go from just outside the ten.

Except someone needs to tell them that "getting rid of the ball quickly" actually doesn't refer to quickly giving it back to the other team! And, yes, Miami's uni's are offending my eyes...and my sense of decorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reny of Storms End Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Will we ever be rid of Simms? I'm afraid the universe won't let him pass on, and we will be stuck with him on Earth for all eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I weep for Nantz, at least 5 times a game he tries to set Sims up and the moron goes 'ah, well no... I mean!' And rambles on about nonsense while an interesting play or thought goes unexplored.

Jace, Extat Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 I wonder if the Kalbears of the world might be affecting the league after all. PFT has reported steep ratings decline every week. They have a lot of theories, but people disgusted with the league and it's practices is as good an explanation as any I think.

sperry Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Tannehill and Dalton are both just bad quarterbacks. This is masked somewhat by playing with really good skill position talent, but they are both just not good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like our white tiger uni's. Would be even better with a white & black helmet though. A win is a win, but our oline is just flat out bad. Can't run block to save their lives. Desperately need Eifert back to help in the red zone too. FG's won't cut it against better teams. On the bright side, Dalton and Green played great. Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap looked like men against boys for much of the game, and Burfict made an immediate impact on our LB play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteGabriel Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Flipped through Bengals-Dolphins during channel surfing tonight. Ugly. The mediocre beating up on the incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The systematic way the Bengals shot themselves in the foot every single RZ possession had me convinced Jay Gruden was still your playcaller for a second there.

I've honestly wondered if the brain injuries thing doesn't ultimately mean that this huge money making machine isn't ultimately doomed in the near to intermediate future. Can't ignore it anymore, and that if anything should become more of an issue as awareness/studies/ex-player pool increases. And the more you adjust the rules to protect brains, the more you'll get people losing interest. It might get to a boxing kind of stage where they decide 'upon your own head be it' and stop worrying about protection, but I think that lowers viewership and more importantly participation in huge numbers. Honestly, as insane as it seems for a dollar factory to be in jeopardy, I really do wonder if my future children will be NFL fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he really could be the embodiment of a voice of change. To what James Arryn mentioned earlier, I truly do hope they adjust the rules to protect the players, regardless as to how that effects the bottom line.

Dalton is an upper-end of average QB, and Tannehill is a below-end of average QB who could be upper-end of average to lower-end of good if his team wasn't a complete disgrace. There isn't a QB in the NFL I feel more sorry for than Tannehill. He's had some of the worst coaching to come through the NFL since he graduated, and some of the worst management via draft picks and free agency. He'll never be a Brady, Manning, Brees, or even a Romo or Rivers that can elevate their teams for stretches (sometimes career long) above what the team is otherwise capable of. Give Tannehill to an organization with halfway decent offensive coordination and I think he's another Alex Smith. Perfectly capable of leading a good team, but not capable of taking the Saints to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really been watching like seasons past either, before missing any game that wasn't Jags-TITANS would be a nightmare, but I haven't watched the last two games for even a second, and when I do watch it's not with the same fervor. I thought maybe it was because the Colts are so wretched again, but I see others are feeling similarly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers Dalton is putting up with a really poor oline suggest quite the opposite. He literally has one weapon with Eifert out. His 2nd leading receiver right now is Giovanni Bernard, a running back. Dalton is easily a top 10 QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
