All of those defenses had a significant advantage against the Bengals O-line. The Bengals went 5-0. The Bills, Chiefs, and Jags are not those teams. Yep that’s accurate . The defense to watch out for is the 49ers in the Super Bowl. Quote

Stripes Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Bengals 2020 draft: Burrow 1 (1) Higgins 2 (33) Wilson 3 (65) Davis-Gaither 4 (107) Kareem 5 (147) Adeniji 6 (180) Bailey 7 (215) Perfectly reasonable to wonder if this is the strongest Bengals draft class ever. All of them have made some kind of difference, and six are on the team now. All of those six played an important role in last night's playoff win. (Burrow = duh | Higgins, two point conversion | Wilson, amazing FF | ADG, interception | Adeniji, spot starting RT | Bailey, block to help Hubbard score). Quote
COB Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 Wow that was quite a draft. Very rare to get that many good players. Quote
membengal Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 I wonder, lol, if I were to bump all those pick threads, what the reaction was at the time... Quote

If I recall correctly, there were a couple of picks I was thrilled with at the time. You have me curious Mem. I might have to check that out myself as well. Quote

Great post Stripes, but curious minds want to know… How did it go today ?? Did you get the job or do we need to send the Bengalszone covert operatives to go handle their mistake ?? 1 Quote

I gave them an F for failing to address the aging long snapper position. Clearly I was far ahead of my time. Quote

I am not great at reading cues though, so I won’t know until they tell me. It’s a professor position in Europe, so life will definitely be taking a turn either way. 1 Quote

Stripes Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 My very first impression of Joe Burrow was “Ryan Tannehill”. Brilliant. But then I saw him in the SEC championship and the CFP, and I saw a more athletic Drew Brees instead. Quote

Rooting for you. So two questions… What do you teach ? Where in Europe ? Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Went back and looked. I gave the 2020 draft and “A”. Mentioned repeatedly my love of the Marcus Bailey pick and thought people really overlooked what Tee’s game was about. I had an concern with not addressing o-line when Josh Jones was there to take, but we went with Logan Wilson and certainly won’t complain about that as Jones had some drug concerns and probably wasn’t a good fit. Glad to have gotten that one right. Quote

COB Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Ha ha! Brady is washed. If I saw that geezer in the store parking lot I’d seriously help him find his car and load his groceries in the trunk. Quote

Along with Germany, France and Austria, we hit up both Zurich and Liechtenstein. Would love to take them back again. Good luck brother !! 1 Quote
COB Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Is Miami seriously thinking about signing Brady? I’ve seen that rumor making the rounds. Insane. Brady misses wide open 12 yard throws. Maybe they love that when pass protection breaks down he can, with his legs, buy them up to another one one hundredth of a second. If they sign Brady, Tyreek Hill should just start the trade demands.

ArmyBengal Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 I'm really looking forward to it. This will be my son's and mine first game at Bills stadium and I have no concerns with being an opposing fan surrounded by Bills faithful. Odd facts: Not once during my time in the Army (02/1990 - 03/2011), did the Bengals beat the Bills. The Bengals were 0-9 against the them. In the last 6 games between them, only once was the game decided by more than 4 points. The Bengals won that game 34-21 in 2015. In those last 6 games, the Bengals are 4-2, with the Bills beating us in our last matchup in 2019. Quote
Stripes Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 I'm developing odd confidence about this game as the week proceeds. Not sure if it's justified faith in the established process, or if it's pure homer junk. But I think I see multiple lanes for this game to end with a W. Quote
TJJackson Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 You couldnt be among a better overall set of fans Bills are easily my second favorite team, going back to the whole Andy got them into the playoffs thing. A sister NFL city, so to speak but there is a rotten apple or two in every barrel, Army, so be careful regardless Quote

And maybe more interesting is that I feel just as confident as I did when they were playing the Bills army home. Buffalo has ALL the pressure on them. Quote
