Week 9: Bears @ Bengals noon on CBS

[CubinNY]

I wouldn't get too high over this game. Cinci got creamed by the Jets the week before. Hopefully, they take care of the Giants.

Dayo is out for the season. 

Good signing Poles,

Achilles tear no less. 

 

Usually not a quick recovery and he has 13M guaranteed with another 2.25M vesting guarantee in March. I think they may have to just cut him before that vest just to save the extra 2.25M

It’s amazing what 4 sacks a year gets you from Ryan Poles

[BigSlick]

I can't remember a single play Odeyingbo has made all year. 

Sucks that they keep sustaining injuries on the defense but of all the starters, this is one that will probably affect the team the least.

Bookers "throat grab and tackle toss" sack yesterday may be a bellweather for a new DE rotation anyway. hopefully he can build on that

No way is this OPI

 

I agree. Both players were going for the. All and Higgins won out. Clean play and Higgins won the battle.

Well Cincy did lose to the Jets, but it was by 1 point. Not exactly creamed. And tbh, that doesn’t matter anyway. A win is a win. Packers lost AT HOME to Carolina. So soakers suck? Is Carolina a power house?

For Fallon the answer is always ‘brutally obnoxious’

If you told me the Bears would hang 47 on Cincy. I would guess Rome had at least 2 if not 3 tds

That is an assload of uncatchable targets tho

[Brian707]

Ugh its one day Rome didn't get a lot of targets.  STFU old man(he probably is younger than many of us)

[BigbadB]

Not that it needs more confirmation, but I didn't see OPI on the Higgins TD. I saw Wright attempting to gain the best position to intercept that ball, and Higgins made an amazing adjustment to regain the best position to catch the ball. Weird looking play in general, but I felt Wright made a great attempt to win that play, but was unlucky against a very crafty receiver.

Thus far, I know none of Poles draftees have been pro-bowlers.  He'll have at least, one this season, Darnell Wright, who may be the best RT in football.

I have no idea why McCarthy is getting so much fanfare for a mediocre to bad game.

Probably because they beat the Lions in Detroit otherwise, there isn't much else to go on.

This is like saying a pitcher who went 6IP 4ER is fantastic because he did enough to get his team the win. No, it was a bad start and the pitcher got bailed out by the offense.

There's definitely a double standard beyond just draft position when it comes to Caleb and McCarthy.  Thus far, regardless of playing time, Caleb >>>> McCarthy yet, you wouldn't know it from just following the media.

Rome is still on target for 1k+. A bit overreaction by the old man
