Wow. What a play. Right after Foreman ripped off a run that looked like vintage Derrick Henry.

I've been calling this for weeks. We're going to trade real assets for a bum due $24M next year so that we'll be paying HOF QB money for bum QB play when you factor in Darnold's guaranteed money next year. That's the type of moves Rhule's Panthers make. That's why we're doomed as long as he's here and why the longer he stays the deeper the hole we'll have to eventually dig out of.

Damn. That Bengals TE just buried some Titans DB.

@Moose Hoover Dude hasn't posted in weeks and just shows up to my posts. Maximum triggered.

Dude's a baller. I wish we had gone and gotten him when we hired Joe Brady. Maybe Brady was cocky enough to think his system could work with just anyone? I don't know.

Ouch. Higgins has to catch that ball.

Yep. I'm going all in on OL. Having an elite QB on a rookie contract is the biggest cheat code in today's NFL. It's just a massive salary cap advantage.

Yeah it was. Couldn't have been anymore down the middle.

Burrow can't take that sack. Gotta throw that OB. That might knock them out of FG range.

I know. Don't get me wrong, we need to get better on the OL but this isn't the 1990s anymore. You're not competing for Super Bowls with Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson level QBs simply by building an OL and a D. Not in today's NFL.

Yes, our OL sucks but the Bengals are showing that if you have a QB and NFL caliber play calling you can still somewhat overcome it. If they do what they should do and focus heavily on the OL this off-season they're gonna be a real problem next year. I do think their OL will ultimately be their Achilles heel this year.

Downfield passing opened it up. Something we haven't seen in years.

If anything, Cincy's OL is actually even worse than ours.

It was absurd there was no flag there. Both after the whistle and low.

Dude... Cincy is getting HOSED. Chase gets wrecked across the middle in clear pass interference then the Titans go low on Burrow after the play is whistled dead. Not a flag in sight. WTF???

How is that not DPI?

Tannehill has to at least give Brown a chance there. Great protection. Overthrown.

The Bengals' OL is TURRIBLE and those guys weren't even deemed roster worthy by them. Key starters on Matt Rhule's OL.

The Bengals' OL is as bad as ours.

I'm normally not big on retreads, but I'd hope that we would interview both him and Flores. Guys who showed a helluva lot more than Matt Rhule has.

The message... *whispering* it's about the money.

I'm starting to think Tepper didn't fire Rhule because he thought Rhule would run off back to college and now it's starting to sink in that none of the good college football programs want him so if Rhule is gonna have to start over at a mid-level school again anyway, he might as well just stick it out and keep cashing Tepper's checks until he gets fired.

I haven't read through this thread, but did McAdoo really turn around the Giants offense or did the Giants simply draft OBJ? In 2013, the Giants were 28th in the league with 308ypg and also 28th in the league in points with 18.4ppg. In 2014, McAdoo took over at OC and they drafted OBJ. In 2014, the Giants were 10th in the league with 367ypg and 13th in the league in points with 23.8ppg. Big improvements, right? That's +59 yards per game and +5.4 points per game. But wait... OBJ had 1305 yards and 12 TDs. That's basically 80 yards per game and 5 points per game himself. That accounts for more than the yardage improvements and virtually all of the scoring improvements.

Truth. Shaq is probably the only guy on the roster who I might honestly argue has improved under Rhule. Everyone else seems to be about the same or worse.

It's hilarious how sure of yourself and your opinions you still are despite being wrong about virtually everything you've ever posted. How's your man crush of a hedge fund bro doing so far as an owner? Damn, that Appaloosa Model is just killin' it!
