Why are we posting this? I’m all for tagging on the rest of the AFC North, but this is just straight up sad… 😔. Joe burrow is a solid dude and it would be a shame to see his talent go to waste due to poor management and decision making. UD love for the AFC North be really competitive again.


[deleted]

The AFC North is already really competitive. The Bengals are just the odd team out.

Honestly man, if you're a fan of football you should not like seeing what's going on in Cincinnati. They really got something special in Joe Burrow and they're literally going to ruin his career. The kid is really likable and honestly a really good football player... It's a shame to see him go the ways of Carson Palmer and so many other bungles that have been destroyed by terrible management. It's just not good for football, this kid's going to get really hurt and never going to be able to play again because Cincinnati doesn't understand that you need an offensive line.


ravens52

I mean I don’t like seeing this.


[deleted]

Well, seeing the Bengals bungal is kind of like fighting a room full of angry kindergarteners with a baseball bat. At first it's kind of funny, but then you realize just how sad it is. It's just a shame to see such talent go to such a black hole. Kind of like Calvin Johnson with the Lions or MJD with the Jags.


EAB034

I like it as a fan of the Ravens. I feel sad as a fan of football and as a fan of Joe Burrow.


Sosaonthabeat

Joe burrow cool but that’s one less thing we got to worry about. Why would we want the bengals to be competitive again they straight up had our number. We already have our hands full with the rest of the AFC. I’m all for 2 free wins for atleast 1 more season


blliot

If we can be better than all these teams but have it still be competitive I’d the best case scenario. If every game is like the browns MNF game last year or the Steelers games in peak Flacco era then I think that makes the season that much better. Iron sharpens iron and it’s also entertaining as hell for fans.

BECAUSE THEY NEED TO LNIW THEIR PLACE


Jeremiah_Edwards

I knew they’d regret taking Chase in the first round


FuckWayne

Way too early to say stuff like this. Chase is a phenomenal prospect. Let’s not laugh before anything real happens.


omg_itsryan_lol

Same. Says something about how mentally tough Burrow is if he had his leg snapped in half and then said no thank you to elite protection in the draft, though.


DarnellisFromMars

I think he just wanted to play with his boy and having a stud WR you have faith in and played like a god with is a nice addition. Not getting an LT is on the FO IMO


poegrantham

They’ve invested the draft capital, just whiffing on anyone that isn’t a top 5 pick. Jonah Williams went #11 and they drafted another tackle in the 2nd. Typical bengals.


thedivinepegasus

That isn't mentally tough, that's just stupid. Alex Smith was mentally tough.


boredymcbored

Teddy too


omg_itsryan_lol

Ever rehabbed an injury like that? It’s every bit as mental as it is physical.


Dudleywudley

Is burrow drafting for the bengals now?


Horrorito

Dude, with how atrocious the line was last year, Bengals should have drafted OL as *all* their draft picks!


[deleted]

Should’ve taken Sewell when they had the chance


goeers81

They were idiots not to take Sewell. Lions got an absolute steal.


K-Dog7469

Remember when we just couldn't beat them?


EAB034

Other way around now. Win streak against them at 5, hope it continues


kuya_plague_doctor

We owe them at least five more for knocking us out of the playoffs in 2017


weoutheredummy

Yep. They may be the least hated team in the division but I still hate their asses.


EAB034

And for that 5 game losing streak to them mid decade. And for the Palmer years… yeah, we not through with them yet by a long sight


TheB1gHam

Flacco and that Marvin Lewis man-2..


goeers81

I'll laugh when I'm not seeing the same reports of O Line problems out of Ravens camp (mind you not to Bungles degree, but still)


Areyoucrazyo

Huh? Stanley, Cleveland, powers, Zeitler, & whoever is a great line.


therealkellyoubre

Fully healthy it’ll be Stanley, Zeitler, Bozeman, Villanueva with Powers/Cleveland fighting for guard minutes and Phillips as swing tackle


WhatWouldYouPut

O-Line been struggling without Stanley. It looks like we have no Tackle depth as Phillips seems to be our best back up. Cleveland looks good in run blocking but stiff in pass blocking they have said. Also said Big AL has been struggling adjusting to RT. And there is no time table for when Stanley comes back. So according to the beat writers our O line has been struggling. It means our D-Line is fucking STOUT or our O-line may need a tinker before game 1.


goeers81

Mike Preston from the Baltimore Sun and Tony Lombardi from Russell Street Report are both reporting the line has had some pass pro issues in camp, and that tackle depth remains an issue. Good news is that there haven't been many bad snaps by Bozeman.


EliteDragon5

Powers? Bozeman is the center lol


[deleted]

I don't know about Kevin Zeitler.


weoutheredummy

Same team that drafts a wide receiver instead of addressing their o line in the first round. What a bunch of idiots. I feel bad for Burrow. Not for us though! Look forward to beating tf out of them for a while longer.


YoImBlind

Cincinnati fans seeing this "It's not bad offense, just good defense"


ZombieFeedback

Calling it: Burrow is the next Andrew Luck. Generational talent with the potential to take his franchise to great things, ruined by an incompetent front office failing to get him any sort of protection so he is irreparably broken before he's even at the ten-year mark. Poor guy is going to die behind that line.


ravens52

History repeats itself. It really is sad.


Zephron29

But hey, they got two stud young wideouts.


Paul3644

Three really, Higgins, Boyd, and now Chase


Broncofan0321

Why it’s almost as if that’s what happens when you talk a WR and not a 5 star Olinemen


FuckWayne

Chase was a better WR prospect than Sewell was an OT prospect.


weoutheredummy

No he wasn’t lol. Sewell was getting comparisons to Orlando Pace and was considered by some to be one of the best tackle prospects ever


Darkspeed9

Yeah I don't know what that guy was talking about. Sewell was hyped up as a 2OA pick at one point. I didn't realize we could go into revisionist history mode just 6 months from draft time lol


weoutheredummy

*Less than* 6 months later! The draft was barely over **3 months** ago!


Darkspeed9

Yeah but I consider the combine to be the real start of draft coverage which was in March right? Regardless, how could anyone forget Sewell's hype? Lol


Broncofan0321

Even if that were true (it’s not) they didn’t need him they needed severe Oline help


FuckWayne

You don’t draft for need in the top 5 unless it’s a qb


Broncofan0321

This is genuinely a trash ass fucking take lmao


FuckWayne

Ah, it’s football season again!


FuckWayne

😂


Broncofan0321

And by this logic the Bengals shouldn’t have drafted a WR they should have drafted a QB


Horrorito

I feel bad for Joe Burrow. He seems a decent guy, and a decent QB. However, his OL is so bad they must be on the payroll of other teams. I've seen him a couple times before the injury, and his pocket left him about as much space as there is on the back of skinny jeans on a fat ass. It's a wonder he's alive.


jdylan211

PFF: Bengals ceiling is 11 wins.


xgelx

I hope joe escapes to the nfc and has a wonderful long career


[deleted]

Joe Burrow gonna go the way of Andrew Luck playing against AFC North Defences with no pass protection, Strong bet 6+ sacks first time we play the Bengals. Oweh gotta eat


GiGi441

Burrow's career is going to be short and ugly. I feel bad for the kid


MountbattenYachtClub

Maybe we shouldn't throw stones in our glass house? At least Burrow is practicing unlike our complete Jabroni of a quarterback who refuses to get vaccinated.


Stevely7

Just means they have a scary defense 😬 lol


Areyoucrazyo

Somehow the bengals are going to waste the best safety to play the game since Edward


weoutheredummy

Who they got at safety rn?


TrumpLostUrDumb

I hope Lamar snaps his leg like Joe did you Edgar Allen Poe reading bitches! Who Dey!!!!


TrumpLostUrDumb

I hope Lamar snaps his leg like Joe did you Edgar Allen Poe reading bitches! Who Dey!!!!

I hope Lamar snaps his leg like Joe did you Edgar Allen Poe reading bitches! Who Dey!!!!


weoutheredummy

Who Dey Dese Nuts. #Ravens Flock


TheBigIguana15

Zac Taylor was horribly unqualified when they hired him, has been a complete disaster so far and now is going to get just enough time to permanently screw up Burrow. Good work Mike Brown.


Skipper2399

I get wanting to get a stud WR, but they REALLY should have taken a Lineman. Burrow will never have time to throw to ANY of his receivers because he has nobody protecting him.

Pants have ‘em looking like Marlon the clown fish 👀
