HoosierCat Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Can the mighty duo of Hakeem Adenji and Max Scharping hold down the right side of the line? Can Burrow put just a little more touch on his throws? Can his receivers catch balls that hit them in the hands? Can Joe Mixon earn just a few of the absurd dollars he’s being paid? Will the refs EVER call holding on Hendrickson? These questions and many more will be answered soon! Who Dey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted January 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 In case anyone was wondering, the whole rule change thingie is basically a nullity now. The only element left is if the ACF championship is Bills-Chiefs, it’s at neutral site. Everything else is normal playoff rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 We know nothing about Scharping other than that he is NOT a 2021 Bengal offensive lineman. So I am optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Now we can officially say it: In a classic 16-game format, the Bengals have inverted the 2015 season. 2015 first half 8-0 | 2022 first half 4-4 2015 second half 4-4 | 2022 second half 8-0 I like it a lot more this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 On Scharping: well, he wasnt considered good enough to make the roster as a backup on the 2nd worst team in the league so we do know that part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Gonna just go ahead and drop this here and let us bask in how accurate it is...

TJJackson Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 unless Burrow and some of his other teammates are willing to take less than market rate for their services, so we can surround them with other talented players then no One player alone isnt going to do it, even New Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am optimistic. IIRC Army, who has some insight into the Texans because his kid is a fan, was unimpressed by the signing and said Scharping stunk. PFF rated him at 59.9 last year, versus Cappa who was at 68 this year. So it looks like a downgrade but not a massive falloff. But yeah, we will see.

TJJackson Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 well, more money for New Guy et al => less money for other talent => lowered chance of Superbowl possible? sure. Just less so We already know 30 (and I do love the man for what he has done for us, but still) is about the money rather than the wins. I dont know where 9 stands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 jesus, TJ, stop always being such a ***damn eeyore. Of course it will get harder, but Burrow is right, as long as we have him, our window is open. What the actual fuck, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted January 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Today’s odd factoid: all the AFCN teams finished 3-3 in the division. Only division in which that occurred this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 The Bengals started 0-2 and lost their first three division games. Let us never throw in the towel on a Joe Burrow team. I almost did myself at the bleakest point in the @ New Orleans game when things were looking like 2-4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I yam what I yam what I yam" - Popeye the sailor man oh, also, Mem? whats the mood and word up in the land of crabcakes? Is it "we rested our starters, so this loss was nothing" or "shit, we have to play them again? jesus god nooooOOOO!!!!" or something inbetween? also I think you should send us all a mail order from Faidleys if we win.

HoosierCat Posted January 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Nugget from Hobs’ latest: Quote Cappa had his ankle rolled in the pocket late in the third quarter and the talk around his locker was he was out for the rest of the playoffs.
