Most articles out there about the Bengals are about AJ Green, easy pickings for journalists. The Bengals website apparently says Green could be out a few games....

 

http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/10/09/cincinnati-bengals-aj-green-toe-injury

 

Green has 17 catches for 314 yards and two touchdowns this season for Cincinnati (3-1). The team's website suggests that Green could miss multiple games with the injury. In the next three weeks after the Carolina game, Cincinnati has a road contest against the Indianapolis Colts and home games against the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Here is an interesting tidbit....

 

http://espn.go.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/11928/bengals-panthers-nfl-week-6-on-deck-preview

 

Bengals cornerback and punt returner Adam Jones hates to call for a fair catch. He hates it so much that he hasn't called for a fair catch in 82 punt-return opportunities dating back to Nov. 16, 2006, when he played for the Titans. For perspective, consider that for the 1,094 punts that were returned in the NFL last season, another 636 were fair caught. He didn't have a single one. Jones also ranks second among active players with five career punt-return touchdowns.

 

Jones hasn't called for a fair catch in 82 punt returns? Sounds like an opportunity for Brad Nortman and the special teams to increase hang time and force a fumble.

For the first time since sustaining a concussion in the third quarter on Sept. 14 against Atlanta, Burfict returned to the practice field Wednesday. He's been cleared to full participation in practice, but that doesn't place him in the starting lineup Sunday at this point. He still needs to be passed by an independent neurologist Saturday per the NFL concussion protocol.

 

The Bengals defense looks awful without Burfict in the lineup. It is possible he misses this game as well. We likely won't know until Sunday at 11am when the inactives are announced.

Definitely more of an opportunity for us, of his 5 returning touchdowns only one has come in the 6 years that he's been at the Bungles. In 83 attempts at Cinci he has 1 returning TD and an average of just under 10y/re.

It's big - he's an unbelievable player and a TD machine. But they have Sanu who is balling pretty hard too. 

 

 

But how good is Sanu when he doesn't have Green on the other side drawing double teams?  It will be interesting to see who the Bengals throw out there on the other side of Sanu if Green doesn't go. 

 

I don't know that they really have a #3 receiver. Ben Tate maybe but he only caught 6 balls this year. 

 

Get ready for a big dose of Bernard and Hill in both the run game and passing game.

I think you mean Brandon Tate, Ben Tate plays for the Browns.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      By amcoolio · Posted

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
