[Official] Texans @ Bengals

only an idiot wants this team to make the playoffs. making the playoffs mean rick smith is staying another year. come on man

 

Bengals fan checking in.

Kinda worried about the pressure yall will get on Dalton (plus starting RT is out), but if he can stay upright I think we take the W.

Not sure where the Texans points will come from. Hopkins is a beast, but I think we can contain him and get enough pressure on Hoyer to make him make mistakes.

 

Same should be said if you think firing Rick Smith should be the only goal for this team. Making the playoffs means the team improves and starts playing better. Missing the playoffs means they are mediocre and they still don't have a high enough draft pick to get one of the top QBs.

 

I don't know why teams don't just blanket Hopkins. The rest of our "playmakers" are pretty bad.

 

Cecil Shorts is semi-decent. Hopefully he's healthy.

 

Hey bro I thought McHale was getting canned? :grin:

 

Who gets fired first? McHale or Rick Smith?

 

He will be if the losses continue. DM is stuck in Europe right now. He doesn't fire people over the phone. Man to man.

 

Rick may never be canned.

He might move to head of tailgate operations.

 

He needs to stick his tail between his legs.

 

I am very happy to be here!

Lance Z mentioned JJ Watt vs Eric Winston as a possible achilles heel for CIN

 

I wonder if Andy Dalton reps Katy High School during the player intro.

 

They only do live intros on NBC.

 

Ah! I forgot. Thanks.

 

I swear JJ Watt has been on the camera for 90% of this pre game. Lol
