Down Go Kilmer, Maxwell

Great. Just f**king great.

Maxwell? Looks like he's lost for at least the first four games. Do we have any WRs who will be able to play in September?

Kilmer? Quad injury. Headed to IR AGAIN. This is a joke, right?

I'm starting to believe in curses.

A torn groin kept Ahmad Brooks out all last year and a pulled hamstring ruined Rudi's year. I think a torn muscle is going to keep Maxwell out longer than a month. They need to bring some guys in and sign someone. I think the only healthy receivers are Chatman, Simpson, and Holt. We can't even field a four WR set.

Yea boldin would be nice lol but yea right look at the money he wants. I would like Horn to come in to have a try but so many teams are looking at him they better hurry if they are indeed thinking about it. It seems everyones WR are getting hurt i just saw the Phily is missing there top 2 WR also now that K. Curtis is out with a injury Brown has a hammy issue, man must be something with the WR this year lol.

We could always trade for Bolden in Arizona. That would certainly mean the end of TJ next season.

No, it might mean the end of Thornton, Rudi and Anderson next season. Collins can miss blocks and assignments just as well as Andrews/Anderson at this point.

Heck, get Boldin now and unload these 3.

As for Mr. Kilmer, IR would be another charity case. 2 years, full pay, injured quadriflange. Our crack medical staff claims another victim.

They are going to have to do something, that's for sure. Looking at the depth chart, if come opening day Chad and TJ are still hurting, our starting WRs will be Simpson and Chatman, backed by Holt and Urrutia.

Eeek.

Right now, Brat is trying to find Tom Osborne so he can learn the finer points of running the option offense.

Carson can run, right?

I believe Caldwell is down with turf toe just like Sims. Per one of Hobs' updates a day or to ago, Caldwell said he hoped to be ready for the opener.

This is why I don't like the pre-season. It gives mugs a chance a cream a real NFL player. I see no reason for 3 or 4 preseason games. 2 should do it. I had a separated shoulder from "going over the falls" while body surfing. It was a mild case but still took 6 weeks to get pain free, full motion back. Chad actually popped the ball socket right? I hope he's back by mid September.

TJ I got to think is just playing it safe in his last year of contract and doesn't want to come back unless he's 100%. Why risk it in the preseason? I think he will be ready for September. Same for Rudi although I don't think this is his last year.

I figure TJ, Simpson, Chatman as your starting set come Sept. Should give lots of catches to Perry and Utecht and TJ's his chances of going long.

I agree. They used to have 6 pre-season games and a 14 game season. Owners didn't want to give up their money from those 2 games, so they added a couple to the regular season.

My suggestion (I think I've mentioned it before)... 2 pre-season games, and 18 game regular season with each team getting 2 bye weeks. This actually adds 3 weeks of regular season football to NFL revenue. I see no reason for them not to jump on this idea.

Well if they dont get another WR then they better learn how to run the ball and run it good and alot. Chris Perry and Kenny Watson should see the field alot with maybe Chris lineing up at WR. Ben will become the 3rd wideout i guess and lets hope the Defense dont give up alot of points cause if this keeps happening i dont see alot of points being scored.

Running the ball and keeping drives alive will be the name of the game for the Bengals. If they try to live by the big play they will die a humiliating and anguishing death by the big play.

I dont mean run the ball everydown but they better run it better and more then they have in the past. Sure they can try to hit the home run and go long but not all the time they better throw short passes and learn how to screen the ball better then they have to have good clock management.
