Sorry champ. Any time Kenny PICKIT! is in your division, there's no way you can be worse.

Keep trying. You'll never touch me, but keep trying.

Touche LMAO

Well, it has been 20+ years at this point. I'm sure they could, so i guess it's just a preference right now. I don't really know what the difference is in maintenance between the two.

touch this, one who sucks the penis

Pretty big for CLE to drop this game tonight. Ravens are in the drivers seat until the injury bug catches up with them as well.

Vicarious.

Fortunately, i don't need to live through anyone else's accomplishments. I can shred you just fine with my very own brain.

whatever you need to convince yourself you're remotely satisfied by this sad state of affairs, you ringless dweeb LMAO

MAYBE if you hump our legs enough we'll let you suck our dicks so you can get just a taste of what winning feels like

Money. Maintaining grass costs money constantly.

BURROWHEAD: Bengals talking a lot of sh1ttttt
 

If Burrow didn’t turn into Alex Smith in the playoffs you would have back to back Super Bowl wins but instead you have none and this season is going to be wasted as it’s clearly over to win anything and the Bengals will be in limbo for years now while they keep trying to recapture the luck that got them as far as they got until the roster and coaching staff turns over, just like the Bills.

:spock: Cincy would be the recipient in this scenario.

feels like Bengals are in a really bad spot.

If you go 0-3 you chances of making the playoffs are remote and you can kiss a chance at home field goodbye so it feels like a must win game. So you need Burrow. On the other hand he's hobbled and not playing well and you don't want to **** around with calf injuries or you end up like the Jets, so it would be best long term to sit Burrow. If he's injured there's no way to make the playoff and you risk him not coming back the same.

I'd probably sit him since the downsides are so dire if he gets hurt even worse.

Burrow sucks at playing football so much he literally belongs in JAIL

Finally a reasonable take

Have you never seen the show My Name is Earl? Karma is real!

Brown's antacid IV line is clogging up

Burrow sucks at playing football so much he literally needs to die.

I take that back.

Joe Burrow sucks so bad at football he literally belongs in JAIL to be gang raped by Raider fans and gets Aids.

rfaulk has been running around this thread like a chicken with his head cut off. Forgive him a little, his mega $$ QB is broken, they are staring at 0-3 and a season gone down the tank before the 1st 1/4 of it is played.

Could it be your owner being cheap and thinking turf is cheaper overall?

With the 7th playoff spot now a thing, I'd sit the guy as long as I needed too.

9 wins gets that spot in the AFC this year I'd imagine, so even an 0-3 start isn't a death blow.

With their schedule 0-3 is a death blow

I thought they would be on a mission to win it all this year knowing that they're going to lose some pieces next year. Glad to see the bungles are back. Now maybe their obnoxious fans will stfu

Not at all. That team could go on a run and win the AFCN. Cleveland lost Chubb for the year and that can't be replaced. Pittsburgh is meh. Baltimore at some point will lose Jackson for a few games. They don't need to have a great record, they just have to win the AFCN.

The final season for Cincy before Burrow's massive contract starts to impact their salary cap and they'll start to lose some of those great WR's on offense... and it's not looking good.

I don't think 0-3 is a death blow, it's a huge hole to dig out of but Burrow going on IR is definitely a death blow

0-2 is only a 11% chance of making playoffs.

Since 2002 only 1 team that has started 0-3 has made the playoffs.

Only 6 teams in in the superbowl era have made it to the playoffs starting 0-3.

If Cincy goes to 0-3 missing the playoffs is all but guaranteed.

They go 0-3 they have a short stretch of easier games but then play Buffalo and SF, Jax, and KC in the 2nd half of the season.

Play the Ravens and Browns again as well. They have zero margin for error.

They may have a Stefan Diggs on that roster. Looks like time is going to tell

yeah don't get me wrong going 0-3 would be very very bad, they're in a dogshit spot. but I would think going 0-3 would give them a marginally better chance to salvage their season than like Burrow getting injured in week 5 because he's playing with a calf injury and going on IR for 7 weeks or whatever. like there is the extra playoff spot that gives them a tiny window at 0-3, it'd take a lot falling their way though

either way it's week 3 and it's already a must win. i guess they could pray burrow doesn't get injured further and sit him for the tits and the cards

It already did last week with Dobbins and this week with OBJ. They just have the fortune of being that much better than everyone else in that division that it’s not as noticeable.

You’re assuming sitting burrow for one week will heal his calf and then he’s fine.

If the bengals were smart at all they would put him on IR, trade Tee Higgins, tank all year and draft Marvin Harrison Jr.

Yeah that's true too. Could the bengals without burrow beat the tits? It's probably closer than they would want but yeah 1 week probably isn't enough.

Bengals are pretty much ****ed either way

I think they should start Burrow and call a dozen or so designed QB runs.

They're in a tough spot for sure. If they did that, the fans would riot and fling their skyline filled feces all over PBS

Just not sure how the AFC will shape out. I don't think it'll take 10 wins to get to the playoffs.

Too early to tell, but I think you're right, especially with 3 wildcards

Also they are 0-2 with both losses being against AFC North teams... including a loss at home vs. the Ravens.

Last year when they started 0-2, one of their losses was to an NFC team.

Cinci will be in the playoffs if Burrow gets healthy. They can go 0-3, maybe 0-4 and still go 11-2/10-3.

That’s if Burrow is healthy tho. Big if

like i guess what is worse, assuming worst case for both: not making the playoffs or burrow tearing an achilles. I'd say the achilles but I'm not a doctor

The Chiefs made it after starting 1-5.

But, as has been demonstrated, Burrow is no Alex Smith.

Finishing with 2 or 3 losses after starting 0-4 would be a magical achievement.

Yeah, he needs to rethink that math.

In the playoffs and this season Smith is better.

KC Started that season with 1-0 record. Not remotely the same as 0-2 or 0-3.

I think you both need to re-read his post. His math is fine.

His math is fine. If Cincy starts 0-3 they could go 11-2 the rest of the way. 0-4 and easily finish out 10-3 for the remaining games.

Reading comprehension is important.

It's funny because it's true!

Ah, true. Skimmed it.

But they're not pulling off a run like that anyway. I know they went 10-1 down the stretch last year but they literally played 1 good team in that run.

You think that 1-5 is a better position to be in than 0-2?

Joe Burrow with an injured calf behind a struggling offensive line vs Aaron Donald next Monday... what could go wrong.

If Burrow can get healthy the Bengals can very easily still get the #6 or #7 seed. Look how it lays out.

Division winners:
Chiefs
Ravens
Jags
Dolphins

Wildcards:
Bills
Titans

Who does that leave for the Bengals to fight for the #7 seed?

Chargers (who are also 0-2)
Steelers
Jets (Rodgers out)
Colts

The 7 seed in the AFC may very well get in with a losing record. Start rooting for the Steelers to get in over the Chargers or Bengals that is a much more favorable matchup for KC.

Just kinda shows that these W/L = playoffs equations are silly.

1st, most of that is based off a 16 game schedule. 2nd, teams like the Chiefs/Bengals/Bills/Eagles etc are all plenty capable of rattling off long winning streaks.

Bengals could go 0-5 and still make the playoffs.

Just fwiw - it's different saying that "only 11% of teams that start 0-2 have made the playoffs" and "teams that start 0-2 have only an 11% chance of making the playoffs."

The statistic you're quoting is the former whereas you would not be correct in saying that all 0-2 teams only have an 11% chance. For obvious reasons no one would believe that the 0-2 Bengals have the same probability of making the playoffs as the 0-2 Texans.

Wrong.
I stated 0-2 is an 11% chance to make the playoffs. I did not say only 11% of teams that have started 0-2 made the playoffs.

No, I'm telling you the "11% number" is not the probability of an 0-2 making the playoffs but the number of 0-2 teams that have historically made the playoffs.

That's 11%.

In general, I agree with this statement. In the context of this current season, I'd consider that to be nearly impossible. The Bengals are already 0-2 in their division. The Ravens appear to be better. Browns and Steelers I'm not certain yet. Burrow is nursing an injury and I'm still convinced OBJ is going to get him killed at some point.

None of those circumstances is insurmountable, but together I think it means a step back for the Bengals this year.

I see what you are saying now. :thumb:

No. You missed again.

Finally!! This guy gets it.

Oh man. It's been a while.

You are bad at drawing.

That's a legit question.

EAT **** PIE, QUEER!!

As much as i don't like RB8, when he's healthy he's a cheat code.

1. That is some weak game.
2. You haven't been here long enough to earn the right to use that kind of language.

Every time I see this thread get bumped I wonder - Have those Bengals been talking more SH1111tttTT1111!!1?!!!!

Never. Bengals players and fans never talk shit. o:-)

They do... They are just really bad at it.

Awe, someone's vag got a lil sand in it

The excuse train is in full swing for old Joe. His shit play is everyone's fault but his. The calf, play calling and missing training camp and pre-season is the to blame.

Just call me Clay, MF. :)

What rock have you been hiding under? I'll i've talked about is how bad Joe has been.

It's hard to understand you with Joe's dick AND balls in your mouth!

Media blames everyone but him.
