lol nah man not even close. And I doubt I ever will be, even if we're successful, the Cam era was just different for me personally. And that's okay. That being said, I love football and this is my team, so I'm always gonna want the best for them. But I don't think I'm as blind or as impassioned of a homer as I used to be.

I wanna add in on Terrace "Devin Funchess" Marshall. It's week one, maybe they'll gel more in the future. A few times were legit miscommunications. But a year 3 WR giving up on routes is maddening. Yet wants to pop his chest for making the most basic fugin' catches.

meanwhile Bengals defense lookin like they missin JEsse Bates while they sit tied for last with the Steelers. but i mean hey i like week one reactionary takes as much as the next guy

IM SO CHECKED OUT EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE HOW CHECKED OUT I AM

im just here to eat my crow

that's not rly the cleanest explintion of what happend. he stared down the spot where Hayden was supposed to be, never checking the depth of the FS. Jessie Bates is too good of a player to do that against. Je'll learn from that Rookie mistake.

hey i dont think hes worth that money guys lol

dont mind going for it on 4th but just a meh playcall overall encouraging drive but man we need our WRs to step up

til solid does not mean ur good lol

he had 908 Receiving yards his rookie season and he was the #1. He's maintained similar numbers to his #1 production as the clearcut #2. Sure he could be "just another #2" but both his tape and production leaves one to think he can at least be the same tier Moore was.

I meant the Bengals. Ja'Marr is Burrow's best friend and in the competition for WR #1, so he's also gonna get paid. They just made Joey B the new highest paid QB (I think?). They're not gonna be able to add a Top 5 grossing edge's contract onto that.

Yeah they're not gonna be looking to take on a player who wants a big contract lol.

Great big body WR that I feel would pair wonderfully with Young. Thoughts?

wouldn't be surprised if they stash kyler and redshirt the year. that roster ain't one to compete. Kingsbury was Rhule with a Starting Caliber QB.

Reddick, Graham, Josh Sweat and now Nolan Smith are all on that team as edge rushers. That's not to add that their interior is totally capable of getting pressures and sacks too. Too many ppl there to be eating off of one plate is my guess.

Loved him coming out of college. Can he stand up?

I think the huddle's a little rough on YGM. He's not getting sacks, but he gets pressures. He had 19 last year which if I'm reading correctly is ranked 53rd. Not great but nothing to scoff at. However expecting him to break out is a tall ask I feel.

Oh yeah after that first drive Ickey absolurely cleaned it up after that first drive. Super releiving to see and hopefully he's got the yips out with the snaps last night. How did C.J. become a top 10 pick? I never expected him to live up to the potential but gah damn at least play close to the 3rd round value. All the talent just seems so apathetic and lethargic, I can't imagine he interviewed well.

why is our starting CB containing the edge on the run better than some of our LBs?

the panthers just scored a td in the redzone using scheme pinch me

Ickey has looked like hot poo, he's gotta figure it out or else he's gonna get that Matt Kalil tag.

"Luke retired we need someone to take his spot!!"

Buddah Baker's doing just fine on the Cards. Some players just suck.

Our defense isn't as talented as everyone makes it out to be lol. Shaq is still just an ok LB and we have nothing beside him. We have no NT. We have one 3-4 D-lineman. We still have no 2nd edge rusher. Our S are okay and we cannot stay healthy at CB. Like I don't expect the week 1 team to look as bad as the preason shows but I'm not terribly surprised by what the D has shown me.

Wants a contract and is battling an injury. Hard pass.
