Well that was anti-climatic. I hate saying, "They'll be back" because we have no idea. Bengals missed their chance. Who knows if they will get another.

They’ve got a young (and cheap) core. Not sold on their coach at all or even Burrow but with him and Chase on rookie deals I don’t think they’re going anywhere soon.

Stupid. Let 20 seconds run off and throw a ball away and the run and forced to call a timeout.

Sometimes you don’t get WTF coaches are thinking. You don’t call a timeout to get ready for two downs to get a first down but you run which forces you to call a timeout.

I had just gotten done telling my son that the Bengals won't run the ball because of the timeout and down loss risk if they got stopped.

Lo and behold.

All those trades, all those free agents, all those high profile trades. It’s what the game is now. You’re gonna see more and more teams willing to part with a bit more after this.

Yep. This isn't college, where you take freshmen and groom them for four years and win it all. The NFL is forever WIN NOW. People crap on "win now" but it's the way. Meanwhile in Carolina: We're going to be ELITE in three seasons from now!

What's he supposed to do? He can't take the sack. Gotta just throw it toward someone and hope to get lucky.

He hesitated and choked in the pocket. Run pass run pass going off in his head. Should have been cool and decisive. Give his receiver a chance to make a play. I'm not talking about his desperation throw after he lost track of everything.

Yep. I felt certain after 2015 that we were gonna be in the mix for the foreseeable future. Yeah... that uh... that didn't exactly pan out.

    • I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.
    • I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
