ArmyBengal Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Well hell... maybe we should start him Monday. Seriously though, get Chuck Sizzle taking snaps out of the wild cat. That would add a wrinkle that hasn't been there previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 They brought Sinnett back. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/bengals/2023/09/22/bengals-sign-quarterback-reid-sinnett-to-practice-squad-as-insurance-policy/70932317007/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Burrow listed as limited today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Remarkable that it's Friday and I have absolutely no idea if the starting QB is going to play. This isn't a complaint. It feels like the whole season hangs in the balance though, so anxiety mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I’d guess he’s not playing. He’s injured, missed 3 weeks in preseason, tried to come back, still injured. Too much risk to play him and Browning is probably as good as Burrow in this condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I wouldn’t assume at this point that Burrow plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 McCarron in town for a workout, per Baby. hmm…and Green was just in town last week…you know what this means, of course. AJ TO AJ IS THE FUTURE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 AJ McCarron baby, the tattooed assassin. And he’s bringing wife, who on a scale of 1-10 is approximately infinity, with him!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I’m good with McCarron coming back. “He started all but one of the Battlehawks' ten games, and in those nine games, McCarron completed 203 of 295 attempts for 2,150 yards and 24 touchdowns against six interceptions. He also rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown.” Yes, XFL stats, but that’s still solid. He that attitude about him I like in a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Well that’s weird. “Bring back AJ McCarron” is one of those unhinged fan demands people make without actually thinking anything through. But he’s back. Hahaha. I mean sure, cool. Hopefully he’s still competent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I honestly didn’t know he was still playing. I went and saw XFL stats and thought to myself… hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Burrow a game time decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 The Steelers and Browns win yesterday, but the Ravens lose in overtime to the Colts. That puts everyone at 2-1, except our Bengals. Getting that first win tonight would help keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Didn't realize this Monday game was on NBC. Are they just picking it up because of the other MNF on ABC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 I think the MNF ABC games were supposed to be on ESPN but things got all mixed around in the new tv deal that started this year, or something like that.

Gonna have to stock the fridge. They still make Old Milwaukee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 It looks like even though its on NBC its the ESPN second string calling the game. Buck and Aikman are on the other MNF. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 The leaves have just started to change and are falling already. It's been a couple of years since I did that myself. Better find my rake !! Regarding the game, even with T-Rex and Hubbard, I thought we would have seen more from Myles Murphy. In fairness, Sample has been getting more snaps than him, but I just thought there would be more. Irv Smith also appears as doubtful with a hamstring issue. It appears his injury history continues. I just hope the hyped environment of PayJoe stadium on a Monday Night gets these guys amped up. Regardless of who is starting tonight, just get the offense moving. If Mixon gets started, stick with him instead of being cute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yeah, Murphy is a mystery to me too. His snap counts went up against Baltimore but still nada. Doesn’t have so much as a single assist through two games. I’ve just been listening not watching so I dunno, maybe it’s how they are using him. But yeah it would be nice to see something, anything, from our first round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Murphy isn't a concern of mine right now. They've played in AFC Champ game two years in a row. That means drafting low and snaps are going to be hard to come by. They didn't lose anything at DE during the off season and a top depth piece is returning so it should be a tough road to snaps/production. Especially when you consider he probably wasn't their top choice. Now if injuries start to mount. DEs leave via Free Agency and Murphy isn't cracking the line up or isn't producing. Then worry.

ArmyBengal Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 I didn't expect tons from Murphy entering the season, but then came Ossai's ankle injury. With that happening, I really expected to see Murphy's snap count be greater than it has been and when given the opportunity, I was hoping to see at least moderate production without there being a ton of stress on him. There was plenty of talk about the Bengals liking Murphy, but they had no intention of trading what it would take to move up far enough to grab him. When he fell to them, I don't think there was much thought to taking him. Of course, I could be wrong, but there was plenty of talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yeah they were clearly high on him. I’m not panicking or anything, but Myles being a no-show is just one more wet fart in this skid mark of a season. Hopefully they can get their shit together tonight.

ArmyBengal Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 So it appears Burrow will be starting tonight per the reports. If so, I'm a little torn. I always want him on the field, but it didn't sound like he got that much work this week. If that is the case, I can't see this ending well either. Will be yelling in the stands nonetheless !!

TJJackson Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 I dont want him out there tonight Give him another week to heal at least another week, bare minumum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
