We've been hamstrung by organizational ineptness. It's pretty much been a disaster ever since Beane and company walked out the door. Look at the Bills. Look at us. Beane systematically gutted us of all of our organizational talent and I don't blame him. He was the heir apparent and JR waited a few months too long to throw his hissy fit and fire Gettleman. Though honestly, I think Beane would've taken the Buffalo gig anyway. Hindsight has proven that Gettleman deserved to be fired but ironically what got him fired (standing up to JR giving aging TD and Olsen career achievement contracts) he was actually right about. He deserved to get fired but he actually got fired for all the wrong reasons.

McGlassfrey? I told y'all not to be surprised if he suddenly becomes much more durable if he's traded to an actual contender. Lo and behold...

Because they don't know football but their egos won't allow them to surrender decision making ability to people who do. Tepper is really good at moving numbers around on spreadsheets to make incredibly wealthy people even more wealthy. I have no idea what Nicole Tepper is good at.

It is waaaaaay too early to talk about Bryce being a bust. If he doesn't improve over the course of the season then I'll start to really worry.

19-16 Not exactly what the NFL expected out of the Rams vs. Bengals when it was scheduled. I actually fell asleep at some point in the second half and didn't make it to the finish line. That Nacua kid looks legit. He just catches footballs. Ridiculous hands and a great feel for the game. I don't think he's a flash in the pan. Tutu Atwell is absolutely one of the fastest guys in the league. Jamar Chase is nearly uncoverable with his combination of athleticism, route running, and hands. Tee Higgins looked like complete trash last night. Burrow looks like he's physically improving but he's still substantially limited.

Just dropped another one. He's been trash tonight

Oh man, Stafford just got BAPTIZED.

I'm all the way out on trading for Higgins. One blatant drop. One poor effort on a ball. Now a blatant offensive passing interference. All comes up to one catch for 8 yards on 6 targets. He's actually in the negative yardage with the penalty.

Baffling game plan from the Bengals. Your QB is banged up and obviously limited. So what do you do? Run it only six times and throw it 25, right? Obviously!

Burrow looks physically better tonight but still very limited. No real mobility and it seems like he can't throw the ball more than about 15 yards. I guess they're doing the best the can with it but it's really looking like he probably should've started the season on PUP.

He needs to let the man do the job that he was hired to do. If you aren't calling plays you're basically a coordinator in title only.

It's barely into the 2nd quarter and the Bengals already have three false starts. All on 3rd down.

Just less threads. We had near double digit threads started about CJ Stroud. Like really?

This Nacua guy is legitimately gonna be great. This guy catches EVERYTHING. Ridiculous one handed catch on a ball thrown way behind him.

As the Bengals get back to back false starts to go from 3rd and 1 to 3rd and 11.

Burrow is looking physically better tonight but man, this Bengals team seems to have really fallen off. They just don't look like a good football team.

Really surprised that Rams TD was overturned. I didn't see any angle that showed that the heel actually came down out of bounds. IF it came down he was out but did it? Either way you called that one on the field I think you had to let that call stand.

Holy crap that Atwell dude is FAST.

This Nacua kid just catches footballs. On traffic, taking hits, just doesn't matter.

He finally got banned after literally dozens of warnings for making clickbait threads with misleading titles.

I have zero ill will toward either guy. I absolutely did NOT want to trade for Sam Darnold and he was as terrible as I expected him to be but he honestly seems like a legitimately good dude. Baker ended up traded to somewhere he very likely did not want to go and played for a clown show of a staff but seemed like he tried to make the best of it and never bitched.

This Eagles OL is just crazy. I bet Hurts held that ball for five seconds just staring down the same receiver until he came open

I honestly thought it was smart player management not to throw Bryce back out there on the road to Seattle on a short week. With the way the OL played I honestly don't think it would've gone well at all.

Mike Evans has not been good tonight. Failing to come down with some catchable balls. That one would've been 6.

I just think he runs very hot or cold. When he's good he's great but when he's bad he's terrible.
