ROFL

How many times are you going to roll out these ridiculous false-bravado boasts only to fall flat on your face?

*and then he goes to the excuse board*


This is my shocked face --> https://media.tenor.com/OqT3Cp_wyMcA...r-seinfeld.gif

exactly what i was thinking. at this point comparing the majority of stats to the past just feels disingenuous.

i really ****ing hate the new extended seasons, shit just doesn't feel the same.

facts hurt?

go look at the advanced stats yourself

Here's what the advanced stats say...

Bengals = W
Chiefs = L

The Bengals will have to hit on more picks then that to maintain that level of success. The NFL is designed to prevent dominant teams from staying dominant through a combination of salary cap (forcing teams to triage who they keep and lose), and having them draft late in every round. This is when the GM proves their true worth. You have the QB, but he’s going to be very expensive very soon. The great thing about Mahomes’ contract is that it’s large, but team friendly. He knew when he signed it that the yearly amount would get surpassed relatively quickly. Does Burrow take a team friendly deal like that? If not you are looking at $50+ million for him. KC traded Tyreek vs giving him a market setting WR contract. Chase will reset the market when he’s due. Does Cincinnati give him $30+ million a year?

Also winning teams tend to atrophy good coaches as other teams poach them. The good ones can lose them and still keep winning. Will be interesting once Zac starts losing staff and has to replace them.

These are things the Bengals will have to deal with very soon. I only mentioned two players, there are other positions that will have to be addressed to include the OLine unless Burrow getting abused year in and year out is acceptable. NE with Brady was an anomaly and it’s why dynasties are so hard to build. The Bengals rose quickly, now the hard part is about to begin.

TB12 could take less bc his wife was a supermodel.

Not exactly a replicateable situation.

Holmes, i've been watching football for a long time. I know how it works.

Holmes? Whatever. It looks like discussing football with you has devolved into this. At least you held out for a short amount of time before just randomly spewing stuff like a standard troll.

You have been watching football for a long time? Interesting. Not sure if that is true or not as your posts don’t reflect that. Perhaps this is another tall tale like your “investment clients” that you were just “joking” about until exposed. Most likely your Bengals fandom is the same and you became a “fan” about midway through last year.

Brodie Croyle had the potential to do that.

How exactly am i supposed to reply to someone who appears to be giving me a lesson on how NFL teams operate when i've been watching the NFL closely for 44 years, having the experience of seeing how the team i root for operates compared to how other teams operate--specifically following contracts and structure?

Am i supposed to intrinsically just not know because i've never had a QB like Burrow who is going to get paid? No, because the Bengals had a QB like that named Carson Palmer and i've already pointed out where that didn't work out so well because Mike Brown. Mike Brown is now hands off, as i've explained multiple times as well and based on the team's current MO is different than it has ever been and, again, as i've already posted, they finally sold the naming rights to the stadium and use other never-before-used revenue streams so that they have the cash they need in escrow for guarantees and they've started structuring contracts in a more 'normal NFL way' for a few years now, based on what other teams have done.

TL;DR I was already aware of how that works, but thank you for taking the time to type it out, just in case.

Amazing

the chiefs win 14 games next year...they join the 89-92 niners as the only franchise to do it 3 times in 4 years

get a ring first though, or no one will care

Inevitable.
