His brother walked on at Georgia, which might be a factor.

This 100%.

I see your point, but have doubts about Burrow healing in five weeks, doubts about this team winning even two games with a backup quarterback, and lastly that they can finish in the way you suggested. I'm thoroughly pessimistic about this season for the Bengals.

I might agree if I felt Burrow was moving past his physical problems as he did last season. But that's not the case. Plus the AFC North is still a formidable division defensively. The failure/decision not to sign Tee Higgins still feels like a personnel issue that could lead to locker room problems. But that's totally my gut and too much Bengals mgmt/Brown family history talking. I hope that I'm wrong. But if Burrow can't play effectively this next game, this discussion is pretty meaningless.

The Browns gave this game away with four turnovers. Two turned into defensive touchdowns for the Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense won this game.

Penix stats through three games: 1332 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, 1 interception, 1 sack, 94.2 qbr

Yeah, he said he tweaked his calf injury late in the game. No team has ever gone 0-2 to start back to back seasons and made the playoffs each season. I just don't believe this team is going to be the first. And this bad start will aggravate personnel issues, I'm betting. That's the pessimist in me coming out.

Bengals drop to 0-2 and I imagine there's more than a little concern in their locker room. Since 1990 only 31 teams out of 270 NFL teams made the playoffs after starting 0-2. They made it last season, but I am openly skeptical of this team repeating that feat since only about 11.5% have done it for a single season, much less back to back years.

Works for me! I agree with you! 😂😂

All things considered, it's been a fun MLB season. Lots of exciting play and players... new names. Very entertaining, imho. I think the new rules helped bring back elements of how I remember the game being played. And there have still been plenty of home runs for the fan who loves the free swingers. Now all we need is to clean up the balls/strikes umpiring issue by bringing in the "RoboUmp". Again, just my opinion. 😁

Not going to happen, imo. Inconsistent play in all areas for various reasons like injuries, youth/inexperience, lack of quality talent. This would include the coaching staff and mgmt, to keep everyone here happy. 😋

So, he's made his commitment. How about locking this thread?

Sorry Rico, but who is Warren Nolan?? As for that score...sounds pretty plausible.

I believe it was his Achilles. Same result however...snake bitten.

Joe/the offense looks both rusty and not totally over the calf strain.

You really should be working in the play review booth. Missed your calling, Scott. 😁

I totally forgot he was the Tulsa HC! Thanks! 😂

Washington over Tulsa 43-10...Penix throws for 409 yards, 3 tds

They may have already done that by drafting Andrei Iosivas...6'3" 212 lbs...superior athlete the Bengals are very high on right now. We'll see how it plays out.

Yes, I've seen this one too, Rico. TB sowing some sour grapes. He's playing out his contract and will be moving on.

At this point, not sure if it's a problem. It's understandable why someone would think this when you look at the Bengals history with regards to players and contracts. But Burrow has made it known that he wanted a contract that would allow his teammates to remain with him. No details regarding the structure of his contract have come out. The Brown family love Burrow. Joe wants to win and they know he needs great receivers to win. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Hey guys, where's all that Cub offense?! My Reds need some help here! 😁

I wasn't speaking just about the 2025 guys. How about 2024?! And I'm not speaking about our coaching staff. I just find it amazing how long the entire frigging process seems to take. My comment is simply frustration on my part and nothing more. Showing my age. And yes, I understand this a BIG decision in each kid's life. So spare me that comment. LOL 😂😂😂

I enjoyed seeing the Chiefs play poorly...and lose. 😂

OSU takes LEO to a new level. 🙄
