Well that was anti-climatic. I hate saying, "They'll be back" because we have no idea. Bengals missed their chance. Who knows if they will get another.

They’ve got a young (and cheap) core. Not sold on their coach at all or even Burrow but with him and Chase on rookie deals I don’t think they’re going anywhere soon.

Stupid. Let 20 seconds run off and throw a ball away and the run and forced to call a timeout.

Sometimes you don’t get WTF coaches are thinking. You don’t call a timeout to get ready for two downs to get a first down but you run which forces you to call a timeout.

I had just gotten done telling my son that the Bengals won't run the ball because of the timeout and down loss risk if they got stopped.

Lo and behold.

All those trades, all those free agents, all those high profile trades. It’s what the game is now. You’re gonna see more and more teams willing to part with a bit more after this.

Yep. This isn't college, where you take freshmen and groom them for four years and win it all. The NFL is forever WIN NOW. People crap on "win now" but it's the way. Meanwhile in Carolina: We're going to be ELITE in three seasons from now!

What's he supposed to do? He can't take the sack. Gotta just throw it toward someone and hope to get lucky.

He hesitated and choked in the pocket. Run pass run pass going off in his head. Should have been cool and decisive. Give his receiver a chance to make a play. I'm not talking about his desperation throw after he lost track of everything.

Yep. I felt certain after 2015 that we were gonna be in the mix for the foreseeable future. Yeah... that uh... that didn't exactly pan out.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
