HoosierCat Posted December 28, 2024 Author Report Posted December 28, 2024 Willie makes the final 15. Winners announced Feb. 6. https://www.nfl.com/news/pro-football-hall-of-fame-announces-15-modern-era-finalists-for-class-of-2025 1 Quote
HoosierCat Posted December 31, 2024 Author Report Posted December 31, 2024 Of note: Burrow finishes 4th overall in Pro Bowl fan vote. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43238266/chiefs-travis-kelce-finishes-1st-fan-pro-bowl-games-voting Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 Kelce finishes first in “fan” voting ?? Nice to be dating Taylor Swift and have all those 12 year girls voting for you online. Quote
COB Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 Kelce has slowed noticeably. Tight end might be one of the most damaging positions in the nfl. They’re kind of like safeties. A lot of grinding type contact and also some high speed impact stuff thrown in. Even Gronk just got tired of being hurt all the time and bailed. Eifert was the same, constantly dinged up. Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 23 Author Report Posted January 23 AP awards coming in Feb. https://apnews.com/article/nfl-mvp-award-finalists-71381d63b22e88f8b1eeb5015d772540 Burrow up for MVP, offensive player of the year and comeback player of the year. Hendrickson up for defensive player of the year. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 23 Report Posted January 23 Offensive Player of the Year- Chase Triple Crown... next Defensive Player of the Year- T-Rex led the league in sacks with 17.5... next Comeback Player of the Year- Burrow coming back off a season ending wrist injury and in the running for MVP... next Fucked up Shit of 2024- Regardless of the above, the Bengals missed the playoffs.

HoosierCat Posted January 23 Author Report Posted January 23 Ah yes they also have Chase up for OPY. Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 31 Author Report Posted January 31 Sounds like Willie is getting hosed again. https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/bengals_legend_willie_anderson_hints_at_latest_pro_football_hall_of_fame_decison/s1_16652_41671911 Quote
Stripes Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Yeah, figured. It was a very dense group of top candidates this time, and Willie doesn't quite pass the "leave absolutely zero doubt whatsoever and be irrefutably the best to ever play your position" standard that applies to Cincinnati Bengals players. I am fairly certain Geno Atkins is going to get shafted too, and with less hope for an eventual stroke of luck than Willie. Hope I'm wrong. 1 Quote

HoosierCat Posted February 7 Author Report Posted February 7 Burrow wins AP comeback player of the year. Hendrickson comes in second for DPOY. Surtain wins. Chase receives 0 votes for OPOY. https://apnews.com/live/nfl-honors-mvp-2025-updates Quote

ArmyBengal Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Zero votes for Chase huh ? I literally have no idea what else Chase could have done more. Oh yeah, not play for the Bengals. 1 Quote
Stripes Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Folks are just obsessed with running backs. Barkley getting OPOY is fine, but the MVP votes were stupid. Quote
AMPHAR Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Willie will have to die AND the NFL get called out for leaving him off the remembrance portion of the program in order to reach HOF. 0 votes for Chase is typical of what a lot of former Bengals have had to go through. Its really unbelievable but typical. It will be interesting to see how Whitworth and Atkins are treated once up for HOF. It always seems like a Tim Krumrie or whoever would be playing at a Pro Bowl level in 1986 but not get recognized until 1988. There's always a lag. Chase will probably have to be a two time Triple Crown winner to get a vote. Allen I could see as MVP. The Bills in the preseason were supposed to take a step back and they got 2nd seed. Nice year really. The only hiccup is Allen wasn't first team all pro. Jackson was. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 I really didn't have an issue with any of the award winners and happy for Burrow. Chase getting zero votes as one of several in history to earn the WR triple crown is just silly. Quote
AMPHAR Posted February 7 Report Posted February 7 Supposedly Herbert got MVP votes over Burrow from some voters. Crazy. I think Burrow threw more TDs in Nov and Dec than Herbert did all year. Quote
COB Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 The media has long had this weird theme of Herbert is equal to or better than Burrow. That choke job in the playoffs should have put that to rest. Quote
