Lions @ Bengals game thread.

[Stripes]

William Jackson is one of the best corners in the league.

Small sample size.  So far, so good though.

Jackson does look good.  Let's not let this turn into another Jonathan Joseph situation.

But yeah, he looks great.  This is the pick that stymied the Steelers because they were going to take him.  Instead they took Artie Burns.

[ArmyBengal]

Still can’t believe they fucking won. Just stunned at how they continue to fuck themselves over.

[TJJackson]

The silver lining to this game is that we - finally - got to see what Westerman and Redmond can do on the field.

Better still, it was surprisingly good news, at a position where we are desperate for some good news

question to those of you who watched: did Jackson III start? I sure hope he did. He has been more than deserving of being named starter for some weeks now

[AMPHAR]

Didn’t watch but pro football reference had WJ111 at 97% defensive snaps played against the Lions

[Passepartout]

At least the Bengals got the Lions out of the playoffs.

[ArmyBengal]

Nice, we currently have the 10th pick in 2018.  Getting close to be being the best of the losers in 2017.
C'mon Bengals just one more meaningless win and we could bump that all the way to 16.
You can do it if you try.  Just think of all the stupid reasons to win this game.

"Win for Marvin"
"Play for pride"
"Knock another team out of the playoffs"
"Finish strong"

Bring back Marvin and Alexander in 2018 !!!

I would like to knock the Ravens out.   Even at the expense of draft capital. 

I just don’t like their fans or franchise.  

[ArmyBengal]

If it costs the Bengals a top OL pick in 2018, I will be beyond pissed off.
Nope, no top end o-lineman for the next decade, but remember in 2017 when we knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs ??

Yeah, me neither...

If Alexander is still in post as O-Line coach I don't care if it's a No.1 pick or a No.32 pick he'll find a way to explode in his shorts about how lucky we were to land that player at that point and then devise a way to coach any possible talent in that player out into obscurity

Kid Steakhouse: who the hell is David Bodine?

It’s still the franchise of Art Modell’s family so I can’t ever truly like them.  I just don’t hate the Raven version of the Old Browns as much as the Steelers.  My dreams always have the Pissburg at 4th in the division and their 50 year old coaches getting in bar fights ( oh wait... that shit really happens)
