Tyler Boyd: Cincy Bengals are Whiny Deluded Bitches & I'm one of them

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd believes he was the missing factor that kept the team from making back-to-back Super Bowl appearances.

In his first day of offseason workouts, the veteran wide receiver met with reporters for the first time since the AFC championship loss to Kansas City, where he suffered a deep thigh bruise early in the second quarter of the 23-20 loss. Boyd said he would have finished the game if he was at least 80% healthy.

He said what bothered him the most was the feeling that he let the team down.

"Still to this day, I feel like if I would have played the whole game, I was the key factor," Boyd said. "We would've won the game."

At the time of the injury, Boyd had two catches for 40 yards. He appeared to suffer the injury following a 24-yard completion. At the end of a big gain, Boyd's left leg was caught beneath Kansas City safety Justin Reid as Reid made the tackle. When Boyd stood up following the play, he immediately favored his left leg.

Article continues but is pointless. He goes on to say that landing Orlando Brown Jr. was a victory for them in the rivalry with the Chiefs.

God, I hate the Bengals.

And that's not mentioning Mahomes just dropping the ball for a turnover, either. Pretty sure we were marching on that drive, IIRC. A healthy Mahomes ALONE would have given us a blowout win.

I hope Bryan Cook hits Boyd so hard this season that when he wakes up he thinks he's back in that game again.

I mean, we saw what happened when KC didn't have a serviceable OL in 2020. The Chiefs couldn't even score a TD, and we had most of the starting WR/TEs/RBs available to us.

Mahomes also battled turf toe, the TB DLine was much better than KC's last year, and KC had maybe 1/5 of their starting line in that game (I believe Reiter at center). Wylie who was a guard got kicked out to RT and Remmers a backup RT was shifted to LT. To compare the SB to that game is silly as they aren't the same.

Except he wasn't good and that was well known on here well before he signed with Cincy. The only reason why people would have been happy at all would have been because of stability and familiarity, not because he was good.

I didn’t want Brown at any cost, and said so.

I like this scene because I always think about the guy in the back. (Fred Ward, I think?) If you're an actor, you have to act effectively even if you don't have any lines. I bet they did 20 takes of this little scene, and watch Fred in the back He sells his role fully and effectively.

He will spend the next super bowl looking for Bengals SB wins in a bowl of spaghetti os

People aren't even close to the chiefs.

TB?


regardless, whether they're 'exactly the same' isn't really the point. The point is that losing more than half your starting OL will make a difference in how well your offense executes, n'est-ce pas?

CIN went into the AFFCG last year without the OL they had when they played us in the regular season, fact. it probably made a real difference in how they executed.

Just as losing 4/5 of our OL in 2020 changed how our offense operated. Fine, maybe not in exactly the same way, but in both cases the loss of several starters on the OL hurt each team's ability to execute as well as they did when they had those starters.

[T-post Tom]

As dislikable as the Bengals may be, I am sure everyone here would love to meet the Cincinnati mayor at the George Brett statue. That moron really put his foot in his mouth. They seem to have more than their fair share of stooges in Cincinnati.

Tampa Bay. Also when KC lost to the Bucs, they were playing a team at full strength with three top WRs of which one is a HOFer and the other would have gone down as a Top 5 WR ever if he wasn't insane (Evans, Brown, Godwin). They also had one of the greatest TEs ever (Gronkowski), a top 5 pick RB who's career had been resurrected (Fournette), and an elite OLine.

Cincinnati lost to a QB who was hobbled by a high ankle sprain, a TE dealing with back issues, and by the end of the game, MVS, Moore, and just brought up from the practice squad Kemp with two turnstiles at T. Oh and a 7th round RB dealing with two injuries. Cincy still had a healthy QB that most consider to be the second best in the NFL, two #1 WRs, Mixon, Perine, and Henry and still lost.

KC played a much stronger overall team in that SB than Cincy did in the AFCCG. The Chiefs offense had to fire on all cylinders to keep up with that Bucs team. Cincy could not outscore a KC offense decimated by injuries and yet them being down three linemen was the equivalent to KCs SB loss?

Brown was a solid LT here

Solid is a stretch there. He was passable. If he were "solid" there would have been a bidding war for him. There wasn't and now he's being paid far less than what a "solid" LT should make. Don't let Mahomes ability to avoid the rush fool you into thinking Brown Jr was better than he really was.

Ah, now I get it.


No, I didn't say it was equivalent. I said losing several starters along your OL would change how well the team executed its offense, and I used the KC SBLV team as an obvious example of how that's true. There's several other examples, but i know everyone remembers that team/game, so that's the one i used.


You're getting into the actual results of a particular game. I'm simply referring to a well-known game, but my point is just that losing several starters from an OL will necessarily reduce that team's efficiency on offense.


And we almost didn't win that game. In the end, it took a slow start by CIN, a pair of uncharacteristic INTs by Burrow, a career performance from MVS, and it literally took a great return from a much-maligned rookie WR and a terrible roughing penalty for KC to win that game. Terrible as in, what was Ossai thinking???

Look, I'm not making excuses for CIN, I just noticed that no one seemed to remember that they weren't at their best either. We beat them yes, but that wasn't the same team we faced earlier in the season. They were a little banged up in the AFCCG.

[Coochie liquor]

Those bitches woulda got ROLLED by Philly. We did them a favor and helped them not get blown out in a SB. Imagine needing 3 #1’s to beat the team that beat you with MVS and a bunch of 5 and 6’s! Embarrassing! How many quarterbacks have made it back to the SB after losing their first?? Single digits….
