No way they are throwing franchise tag money at a player without solid medical opinions that he is good to go.


The same medical staff that said Green would only miss a couple of games last season and then he didn't play a single down

You have no clue what Green's medical issues (or contract issues) are/were.

And the Brown family has parlayed a $25,000 investment in 1960 into a 2 billion dollar franchise 60 years later. And Mike Brown has run the show about as long as Paul did.

They're doing ok int the football business. But I'm going to guess you are doing MUCH better in whatever business you are in... LOL

I know Green's tag is not exclusive and no other NFL team has made his cripple arse an offer

Start a ball club, genius. You obviously know way more than the Brown family. Amirite?

There is an extra wild card team this year.

But the Bengals are really a bad team.

Burrow is good, ...

Doubt it. But I'm sure they think they do.

If Zac Taylor runs the LSU/Saints offense (or something close), then I think they are close a lock to win 9 games. Burrow has the WRs and the RB to make that O score well. The O-Line only has to give him 2 full seconds.

If Taylor runs a bunch of old-school crap - then no shot.

Bottom line for me: at least a 1 in 3 shot to make the playoffs... And almost 7 to 1 payout.

Nice Pot odds


Pittsburgh was 8-5 at one point with Mason fricking Rudolph and Duck Hodges playing QB.

Steelers and Ravens will have 2 of the top 5 defenses in the league this year, and the Browns aren't exactly lacking in the talent department on defense either.

Theres a ton of issues with the Bengals, and Burrow just fixes a few of them. They will be lucky to win 5 games this year.

Burrow is in for a rough first year, being a rookie QB is hard enough but now not having a proper off season makes it that much more difficult

The Bengals tanked for an overall 1st pick. Smart move, IMO.

In the 10 seasons prior to last season's "Tank" move, the Bengals averaged 8.5 wins a season.

Bengals are winning 10 games this year(if they play a full season) and making the playoffs. The team is actually pretty loaded and has the ability to make a dramatic turnaround. They don't have any big holes and they have the cap/flexibility to grab the best players when the next wave of cuts happen. Burrow will shine..


Everyone said the exact same shite about the Browns. Twice now.

Cleveland has some head case at QB. We're talking about Burrow and the Bengals

He has weapons on the outside if Green is fully healthy, his O-line is meh and defense isn't so good.

There's a reason they had the #1 pick.



There's a better chance that Denver will make the playoff with Drew Lock at quarterback!

You are way out of control here....... you have zero clue what you are talking about..... AND you said you were gonna be gone from here after the draft. Yet here you are going bat shite crazy thinking the Bengals will make the playoffs just because of Joe...... you are pathetic......


He knows he was the one in a life time for LSU to win it all! Now LSU is back to being beatable and that is why he is all in on the quarterback for Cincy. Sine he thinks he is the once in a life time quarterback to be on the top. So he wasn't going to be looking forward to LSU next year since they do not have Burrow any more and would lose a game there and another one elsewhere. Might lose 3 games or even 4! No one really knows for sure. Just rather be glued to Burrow than to focus on LSU for the following year.

I have an ex brother in law who grew up in Cleveland. He says the Browns are one of the worst football team and management is not good.

The Bengals were the worst team in the league, but they get AJ Green and John Ross back this year, and I wouldn’t say they were the worst by a lot last year. And I’d say they’re set up better this year than some of the other bottom teams from last year. Main issue is their division will be tough as always

They should also have their 1st round Left Tackle from the '19 draft healthy and ready to play.

And it is not just Burrow. That LSU/Saints offence scheme is impossible to stop. If Burrow and his O-team can get that up to 60% or 70% efficiency, they'll win 9 or 10 games.
