Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I started one last season, so here's a new one. Let's talk some football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estil | 1,264 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Ah yes! Not only did my beloved alma mater finally play in and win a bowl game people actually heard of a couple years ago, but the Wildcat (their mascot) and few of his friends along with the Citrus Bowl and Governor's Cup (the winner of our annual Loserville matchup) trophies came to our local grocery store too! Only question is, will we have a 2020 season in football and/or 2021 season for basketball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 The Bengals lost the game as only they can. Offensive pass interference on what would have been a game winning touchdown followed by the kicker apparently hurting himself on a short field goal attempt that would have tied the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,520 Editorials Team · Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I feel like I raised that objection back in April Bengals fans: "We're gonna get Burrow!" Me: "Who's gonna block for him?" Bengals fans: "Not important!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me: "Who's gonna block for him?" Bengals fans: "Not important!" Maybe the Bengals can use him as a kicker this week after they missed a 31 yarder that would have tied the game. Of course they would have lost in overtime anyway since that's what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be worse, at least they play better than the browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammerfestus | 3,833 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Nope. Nope. That game was insanely embarrassing. I don’t understand how they can consistently still be this bad for the past 20 years. for context... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,096 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Niners place Richard Sherman on IR. For once I would love for the team to stay healthy all year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great game though, that third quarter was crazy. I feel sorry for Burrow, seems like he has a lot of talent, but he's going to get knocked around all season. Give him a few years of that and he'll probably be getting some season ending injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the losses might be more entertaining than last year since it looks like the Bengals will be contending for the #1 overall draft pick again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumer | 221 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Doug, you got another Bengals fan here on the forum now! 61 attempts on Thursday...yikes. I know we were all hyped for Burrow, but winning offenses definitely begin and end with superior o-line play. The line needs to be addressed in the next draft.

I know we were all hyped for Burrow, but winning offenses definitely begin and end with superior o-line play. The line needs to be addressed in the next draft. Jonah Williams was the 11th overall draft pick last year, but he's basically a rookie after missing all of last season with an injury. I think they would be better off trying to address the o-line through free agency with proven players since they have tried to address the issue through the draft, but they keep missing on their picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you are probably right about that. Either way, it needs to be addressed if Burrow is going to live up to the hype. As an aside, I hope the Reds keep it up this week. The bats are picking up a bit the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just hope they can get a winning season! PS: Yes I'm well aware that's it not over till you're mathematically out (and there's been many many examples of that in the past well over 100 years we've had MLB) but I couldn't resist Edited September 23, 2020 by Estil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
