That roughing the passer call when Lamar was hit in the thighs/waist was criminal.


On another note - Cincinnati is the cure for a winless team.

I have been saying it since last year but Patrick Mahommes is only Patrick Mahommes because of the weapons. Tyreke Hill is a field tilting talent that opens up a huge gap in the middle of the field for Kelce and others to eat.

It has really shown out the past few weeks as Mahommes has finally looked human.

THe past few times I’ve seen Mahomes he’s fallen in love with the rolling right, throwing across his body type throws ... and they are crazy. But I think he can’t rely on it too much

First, I disagree that Mahomes isn't special. He is. You can't go 16-0 in the NFL. Colts had their number last night. It happens.

But I'll say this...Baker gets criticized for leaving a clean pocket while Mahomes and Wilson also do it more consistently. The difference is they are athletic enough to still make something happen where more often than not Baker isn't. They get hailed for the magnificent play instead of critiqued for bailing too early.

I don't really know where I'm going with this other than it's an interesting observation. Baker still needs to stay in the pocket...he doesn't have the athleticism of those other two.

That loss for Mahomes was a game that was hard to stop watching. But he is human. Plays hard, too. Not a frustrated diva.

The bengals did not disappoint. Not sure yet how many players they lost in addition to the game. Trade lines are open. So what do you think of P-borg now? Still come at you and deliver a load.

Ugh. I would have thought this offensive PI call would have been reversed, nope, "confirmed". Total BS.

The Bengals only have two games on their schedule that are winnable. The Jets, though Darnold will be back, and the Dolphins.
The Bengals, the Dolphins, and the Skins are racing toward that #1 overall pick. The Skins new coach could ‘Rosen’ Haskins.? Will the Dolphins give up on Rosen already? I really think Dalton is done in Cinci. Tua in tiger stripes is a direct possibility.

I think the guy is on a different level and would elevate just about any team. He looked 'mortal' but he's still really good with a gammy ankle, no Hill and pass rushers in his face and OL worse than the Browns.

I hate to say it ..... but I think that Gase knew that he had no chance of winning with his backup QB. They have only scored 2 or 3 TDs all season long. I think that hope overrode any preparation for the backup.

Do I see that the Dolphins play the Redskins this week upcoming? Yikes

There are a lot of bad teams in the league this year.

I was thinking this yesterday as I watched bits and pieces of several games. The whole league seems mediocre at best this year. Even the 'good' teams seem to be struggling a little. And the middle to bad teams are just plain garbage to watch.

Yeah, the whole league seems to have taken a step back. Sure the super-teams still are winning, but even many of them have shown weaknesses and some stumbling so far this season.

I agree ... it’s like the have nots have decided quite early to take our own approach and tank/acquire picks

I don't know if I could disagree w/a take any more than this one. I mean......."WOW."

Lol that was such a weird press conference

I kept thinking that had to be a spoof with a look-a-like.

It's ok, disagree if you want. Without Hill and Watkins in the lineup he has one touchdown completing 56% of his passes over the past two weeks.

I'm not saying he isn't great on his own right, I'm saying he isn't MVP Patrick Mahommes without those guys.

Not sure how saying he finally looked human is a "WOW" moment.

I think a lot has to do with the schedule this year.

A lot of bad teams had really tough games to start the year. Itll all even out in the end.

If that’s true then we better be weary .. our schedule sucks at the end (MIA, CINx2, PITx2, ARI, DEN)

j/c:

Just finished watching the Indy/KC game (had to work last night). Great job by Indy! I was surprised.

Indy controlled the clock, pressured enough, and was physical with their WRs (I think their WRs without Hill and Watkins are obviously way weaker)

The "Wow" comment is about how you saying his weapons made him look better than he is. I'm saying he makes his weapons look better than they are.

Right now, he has multiple offensive linemen out and that was the difference last night. Dude is a special talent and I haven't seen a guy w/NFL ties say otherwise.

Deshaun Watson now has 3 games with 5 TD's and zero picks.

some were also trying to label him a running QB.

I didn't think he was all that accurate coming out of college. I was wrong. He holds the ball too long, but he is pretty accurate and great kid. I'm happy for him. Wish we had him.

I think we really screwed the pooch by not drafting Wentz.
