Chase with a huge play! 3 and 2nd slant turns into broken tackles and a huge touchdown! Let’s freaking go!

Just saw the replay, that was awesome

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ballard could of cut Banogu and signed Autry. All reports are he let Autry go over a measly 1 million dollars.

There is Autry again.

LSU is a WR factory! Chase is from LSU, right? The Vikings drafted Justin Jefferson out of LSU last year and he has been great.

Bengals Ravens game is heating up. Burrow has his team up 20 to 17 now. Good back and forth offensive drives. 

Rally need Ravens to win

Jamar Chase with a TD for the Bengals. They are up 10. 

Yep. Poor tackling has plagued us all year. Harbaugh should have kicked that 57 yard FG in the first half, then Cincy scored off that. 10 point turnaround. Then Lamar takes a sack and puts us out of FG range. Another three points. Doesn’t look good

Yep. It was a very good move in the draft to bring Chase with Burrow. Their chemistry is fantastic. 

[The Old Crow]

And the defense stinks.

Colts wise, yes. I’m also a Bengals fan though so I’m enjoying this. 

[NFLfan]

Danny Dimes to Dante Pettis, son of former baseball player Gary Pettis. First TD of the game.

They are a good team. Not surprised offensively, but their defense is surprisingly fast and good. I’m about ready to mow my lawn !

Not really cutting Banogu would at most save us 1 million and autry is getting paid 3 year 21 million with a hit of 3.5 million, Which wouldn't work out cap wise. also Autry would have taken Lewis' snaps which he has actually been good.

Yeah, I do feel for ya. You’re one of my favorite posters on here. Much respect! 
 

The Bengals spent quite a bit on defensive free agents. Looks like they’re starting to gel. 

[The Old Crow]

When a tip goes that way, you know it’s not your day.

He could of structured the contract where he could be cut after a year. If Paye and Dayo looked good then they could of cut him.  I am just sick outside of Wentz how he handled this offseason. Everyone knew after FA what he did was bad.

We’ve won a lot of lucky games this year. Right now, we are flat out getting outplayed. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Yeah Bengals are the real deal. I am happy for their fans.

It is just one game. Baltimore should make the playoffs.

 

I like all the teams in that division but it does not seem like Pitt will make the playoffs. It should be the end for Big Ben and maybe Tomlin.

Why would Autry sign that contract though, the Titans contract would be considered significantly better by comparison

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I just want a defense that works as hard as the Titans.

The problem is we have 17 on IR. Mekari, another OT , went out today. We could get into the playoffs, but injuries could prohibit a deep run. We would totally stink without Lamar this year. He can’t do everything. That’s the NFL. Cincy did a great rebuild. That North division is always a meat grind.

He wanted to come back . From what I remember it wasn’t even about years. It was about the guaranteed money. The difference was only 1 million. I am sure Titans have protection in their contract too because of his age.

[Zoltan]

Did Darnold get benched?

His dead cap hit next year is 9 million guaranteed, they have an out after next season

Ballard could have made it work we all knew Autry was better than Lewis or any other pass rusher we have on the team. He let him go because he wants his draft picks to get a chance.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Damn. Darnold started the Season so well.

 

 

[The Old Crow]

Not sure why Cincy did that ?

[Smoke317]

Chase is a straight up Beast.

Ok. We could of gotten two more years of good play from Autry. Even if it became a rotational piece.

The real Darnold has shown up. 

[RollerColt]

Ooo that was a costly mistake by Burrow. Game is far from over.

Bell doesn’t want to be hit. Cut him

It’s time Ballard goes out and gets those few extra difference makers. We have the QB it looks like so time to finish this thing. 

This team has been good enough as currently constructed to win those games. I blame lack of execution and in game decision making. And we always seem to start the season unprepared.

Lewis has played well and if you like pff grades significantly better than Autry. The whole argument "well he should of made it work" is ridiculous because his replacement has played better depending on your metric. Autry wouldn't fix the defense, the problem is scheme.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Another INT. Mahomes got smashed good.

[Smoke317]

Mahomes concussed. Stick a fork in the Chiefs season. The Super Bowl Hangover is real. 

[Nesjan3]

Mahomes went to sleep

Yeah but we could of had both. That would of helped the pass rush. Lewis coming in for Autry instead of what’s going on now.

They need more difference makers. Are we close yes. But we don’t have the extra couple difference makers that win close games.

It’s the Tom Brady hangover. When a team loses to Brady in the Super Bowl, the QB and team seem to get cursed and fail to return to the big game.

I dont like pff, not the player grades anyways its similar to madden ratings. You have to think about the people rating the players are just pff employees. My problem is not with the loss of Autry in particular. More so Ballards approach to FA and his attachment to his draft picks

No it wouldn't because Autry would have taken Lewis' snaps because they play the same role. So if we signed Autry most likely Lewis would just be sitting on the bench.
